What 2600 Game Would You Like To See Ported To The 5200?

[What 2600 Game Would You Like To See Ported To The 5200?]

Armor Ambush but with 4 player support. That would have been awesome.

[GameStop: Bad For the Industry?]

I've never bought a new game at Gamestop that wasn't sealed in two different states. That sounds more like the local manager is deciding to pull that garbage.

[PAL Carts in an NTSC 7800 System]

Sounds like he's trying to test Space Duel and Asteroids Deluxe before shipping.

[What's with EA on the PS3?]

It's EA. That's pretty normal.

[7800 tough as old boots (I hope!)]

I have offen felt that the game systems of yesterday are tougher than game systems of today.

 

They're not nearly as complex so it's definitely harder to break one.

[Crazy deals at Wal-Mart for 360, Wii!]

My wally world had some PS2 controllers discounted but that's it.

[Live Arcade Games]

I'm kinda surprised at the absence of Pac-Man CE and Puzzle Quest...those are probably my 2 favorite XBLA games.

 

I'm amazed that stinker minigolf game is a bestseller.

 

I'm not. It's great for kids.......although it's mainly a rehash of the PC minigolf game Sierra released in the 90s.

[Arcade games you were obssessed with as a kid]

I saw them in just about every fast food place like chinese food eat-in/take-out's... A Dairy Queen, Pathmark supermarkets, convenience stores, even a hardware store had one and also had a section where they sold 2600 games too...

I remember buying Enduro in the local hardware store with my brother.

[Wisconsin politician proposes 1% tax on video games (joystiq.com)]

Maybe they should figure out a way to tax cartoons as well.

[Simply appalling.]

Fuming angry because others don't share your opinion about a video game poll on some internet site?

[I am now a 5200 owner!]

Yes, Castle Crisis is a great homebrew version of Warlords.

[I am now a 5200 owner!]

I wouldn't mind the stock setup if it didn't cause interference with my tv when it wasn't turned on.

[I am now a 5200 owner!]

The games depend on the person but I'd say the first one you should get is Adventure II. Another one I'd definitely get is Berzerk.

 

The other thing that was also a must have for me was getting a video mod kit so I didn't have to use the RF box.

[Xbox 360 arcade bundle without HD? What games DOES IT NOT play?]

I've had freezing problems and my 360 will suddenly stop reading a game disc that has absolutely no visible scratches on it.

 

I need to call MS and complain. When I sent in my console for RROD it took about 3 weeks in total. 1 week to get the coffin and then two weeks after that to get the console back.

[Arcade games you were obssessed with as a kid]

Tempest, Pole Position and Joust.

 

I actually stole money from my older brother's piggy bank so I could play.........at least until I got caught. 11 year olds do stupid stuff.

[Worst Activision Game?]

Sky Jinks just seems like a hack of Skiing. I can see why people don't like it.

[Worst Activision Game?]

I would say Plaque Attack but I just played Oink! on my CC2. I stopped playing the game before it was over. It just seemed to never end. Plaque Attack is still second because of the lame theme.

[XBLA Review: Tempest]

I think I'll go buy this and Frogger just to piss off Mr. Space Giraffe.

 

I've already got Tempest on an Atari Xbox game so I don't really need it. Spite would be the only reason to download this version.

 

I think I like Tempest on my PC the best. I got it along time ago with Microsoft Home Essentials. I think Albert sent me a copy too with a PC Atari Anthology disc when I bought Beef Drop for the 7800.

[Free Xbox Live game. Peace offering?]

They *should* just give everyone a credit on their account and let them decide what they want to spend it on but that won't happen because it'll cost them more money.

[Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 still cheating after all these years!]

The predetermined outcome was not for you to win. It's just like real pro wrestling.

[Diet Pepsi hates you.]

Yes,exactly.People who trust what the FDA or Health Board says are foolish.Like when the Dental Association insists that amalgam,which contains Mercury aka Quicksilver,the most toxic,poisonous substance known to man,is safe.Yeah,safe when not touched,but in the human mouth?.My constant headaches and other numerous symptoms disappeared when i had my amalgam fillings replaced with enamel ones.Dont give a rats ass what the "authorities"say,i make the decisions for my health using my own common sense.

 

I wouldn't exactly trust the media to decide whether I'm going to intake aspartame either. Actually I don't artificial sweeteners because they taste horrible.

[Arcade in a box]

at least it can be used with MAME as well.

[Arcade in a box]

Arcade in a Box arcade stick

 

Too bad they don't have spinner or trackball................and the price is $150.

[Water Ski an arcade port?]

I don't think Taito would have had a good claim if they'd sued for trademark or copyright infringement. It's probably hard to trademark a name like Water Ski anyway. it's like calling your game football or soccer.

 

I think I prefer the 7800 version since it's got the jumps.

[Water Ski an arcade port?]

I assume you're referring to the Taito water ski game. In the arcade game you only control the skier. In the 7800 version you're controlling the boat so you have to account for both the boat and the skier. The first level isn't all that much like the 7800 version. The arcade version has different obstacles and you can't run into land on the side.

 

The boat goes faster as the level progresses.

 

There are no jumps for bonus points.

 

The clock counts down instead of up. In fact your game ends when you run out of time so you can crash lots more than the 3 or 4 times you can in 7800 water ski.

 

You start where you crashed not back at the start of the level.
