  1. That's a fair point. However, even if the programmer acknowledged his score, if he had to use a glitch to get it, it ought not to count IMO. It's like those speedruns of Super Mario 64 that use glitches to get around the locked doors. It's a neat trick, but I don't think it should count as an "official" world record speedrun.
  2. Sounds to me like he exploited a glitch the programmer didn't know about (based on the fact that the programmer honestly thought it couldn't be done). That would be cheating. I won't comment on whether or not that invalidates ALL of his scores, but if I'm right, it makes him suspect at best. As far as I'm concerned, the word "impossible" on the award is an admission of guilt.
  3. Come on, people! There's gotta be one person interested in programming this!
  4. Very cool! I'm always interested in trying homebrew games on my R4 card. Keep us posted and let us know if you ever finish.
  5. Question: If I don't have a real Vectrex (I'd like to get one but haven't been able to afford it as yet), but I play some games on ParaJVE and take screen shots of my scores, does that count?
  6. What do ya know, a review of ET that's actually funny (as opposed to all the so called "gamers" on youtube who only bash "bad games" because everyone else is doing it and they want to try and be cool but more often than not don't know what they're talking about).
  7. I'll wait for the plug and play to come out and then look at the reviews on youtube. I would've been interested in the Sega Genesis one, but I saw in the review that half the built in games were newly made homebrews, and poorly done ones at that. It just reeked of cheapness. As far as this one goes, if there's no cart slot, but it has most if not all of the original INTV games (minus the third-party ones of course), I might consider getting it for convenience's sake (although I'd still want to start collecting the originals when I was able to).
  8. Nobody mentioned Sub Hunt yet. I like that one (except when a destroyer gets right up on you and you can't hit it cause it's too close. grrr...).
  9. I'd have trouble deciding. On the one hand, I've been wanting a PC Engine Duo for quite some time. On the other hand, the Vectrex looks cool too. Gamewise, there's Magical Chase. Or, instead of blowing it all on one game, I could get several like Ninja Gaiden (the PCE version), Batman (PCE), Earthbound (SNES), Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64).... In short, I have no idea.
  10. You should definitely pick up Qbert and Popeye. Star Wars The Arcade Game is also good. Pretty much anything by Parker Bros is worth getting.
  11. I would, now that you've mentioned it, but the game has apparently vanished. A quick google search came up with a link to a flash game website, but when I clicked the link, it said "creep creepersin's creepshow" couldn't be found. Maybe it was there and got deleted for some reason?
  12. I wish I could afford a Vectrex. They seem awesome. Up to now, I've had to rely on ParaJVE.
  13. Most of the biggies have been mentioned already, but if you're looking for solid gameplay, the Sunsoft Loony Tunes games are great. I would especially recommend Taz-Mania and Speedy Gonzales: Los Gatos Banditos.
  14. I never doubted that King Of Kong was slanted because on the DVD, there's a text scroll in the extras fessing up to such. That said, it's still a good story and it's kind of a shame the fictionalized remake never got made. Oh well. Also, troll or not, Billy Mitchell is awesome.
  15. Very cool! How do you save a screenshot? Does it have that function?
