Looking forward to some PAL releases. -
Blinky Goes Up (formerly GIANA BROS)
DemonoidTentacle replied to Jan Hermanns's topic in Atari 2600 Programming
Saw the youtube vid, and I'm impressed! I'd like to see how challenging the later levels get. -
Names written on old games
DemonoidTentacle replied to Ataritard's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I heard a story a while ago (can't remember where from, or all the details) about a collector who used modern internet tech to track down a guy who wrote his name on a cart (I have a feeling it was a NES cart). Anyway, this guy got all freaked out and was quite pissed that the collector had bought "HIS" game at some flea market. -
Terribly underrated game that is finally getting some love in recent times

Why was speech synthesis such a big deal?
DemonoidTentacle replied to boxpressed's topic in Classic Console Discussion
When a game talked back then, it was something special. I remember when I'd boot up Impossible Mission and it would greet me with "Ah, we have a visitor. Stay a while. Stay forever!" It was the coolest thing ever. Now, heaps of games talk. It's not special anymore, it's expected. -
Most overrated games in your opinion
DemonoidTentacle replied to Animan's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I also think that Strider is a pretty rubbish game. -
My text adventure game.
DemonoidTentacle replied to DemonoidTentacle's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
Just to let everyone know, I've chosen the C64 as the machine for the adventure. I rummaged around my shed, and found my two poorly boxed c64's. One with a busted keyboard and covered with rat piss, and one with no output and covered with rat piss. Took them apart, and made one working c64 covered with rat piss. Works a treat! -
I was thinking he meant something more gameboy specific. my bad.

I recently looked around within the last few months, and I couldn't find anything. Here's a good article though: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/nintendo/gameboy/the-rarest-and-most-valuable-gameboy-gbc-games

So rare it doesn't even have a rarity score, huh? Maybe we'll just call it a 10?

Leisure Suit Larry 7 Review - Not Safe for Work
DemonoidTentacle replied to Metal Jesus's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Great video as always MJ, I've been a subscriber for a while now and look forward to many more videos. Any tips for uploading to youtube? I have nothing but problems with my uploads. Artefacts over the screen, audio cuts out. Pain in the ass really. -
I've got a 2600 cart that I couldn't find on the AA rarity guide. The label reads: 2 PAK SPECIAL * CAVERN BLASTER * CITY WAR Anyway, City War is Atlantis, but I don't know what Cavern Blaster is. The top part of the screen is the game field. You're a ship, flying through a cavern avoiding epilepsy giving walls, missiles, gun turrets and monsters (?). The bottom half of the screen is filled with bars which represent Energy, Shield, Time, and Score. Anyone know what the real name of this game is?

Sonic CD available on iOS and other platforms
DemonoidTentacle replied to AtariDude's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I don't have any kind of smartphone, but I've got Sonic CD on the Mega CD. Best Sonic game there is. -
Nope. I tend to stay away from gaming on my computer, unless it's an RTS.

I dug it's vibe, but I can't stand playing a game like this on my keyboard. If this was actually on a classic console, I'd fall in love.

stupid Playstation question
DemonoidTentacle replied to atari2600land's topic in Classic Console Discussion
When the playstation was out, it was the first and there was no PS2, so it wasn't called the Playstation 1, it was just the Playstation. Sony didn't like this being shortened to just PS, so they unofficially pushed an X on the end. Now today it is commonly referred to as the "PS1" in speech. Either way is fine. I'll say "PS1" but I'll write "PSX" -
Worst Game You Ever Bought?
DemonoidTentacle replied to BillyHW's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Thank god I chose to hire this before buying. I really dodged a bullet there. -
Damn Zack and Wiki, I still can't beat the game! I refuse to use a walkthrough.

Worst Game You Ever Bought?
DemonoidTentacle replied to BillyHW's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Far from being the worst game I've ever played, but Mighty Max for the SNES is the worst game I ever bought. I usually have a pretty good nose for picking the good from the bad, but I don't know what I saw in this game. I think it's just because the show kicked ass. -
Gamecube Wavebird Controller
DemonoidTentacle replied to NinjaWarrior's topic in Classic Console Discussion
$17 for a Wavebird is a damn good price, as they're a damn good controller. -
Best (and Worst) Looking Consoles?
DemonoidTentacle replied to BillyHW's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Best: The True SNES. Colours, man. Colours on the buttons! Worst: Too many horrible looking systems, but I've got to go with... I dunno, I'll have a think, and then edit this. -
Eighties Into Nineties Console Poll
DemonoidTentacle replied to 16BitMan's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Looks like NES and SNES are really dominating the pack.
