+Psionic Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Tac-Scan gets pretty nuts once you get a few rounds into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I define twitch as you only have your reflexes to rely on. No anticipation. That's why I rule out Kaboom to an extent. You do need some twitch skill, but you can get into a "flow" and begin to anticipate where the bombs are going to fall. Same thing for Dragster. There is nothing unpredictable about it. You do need precise timing, but it is all predictable. The part of Cosmic Ark, where you have meteors coming from 4 different directions randomly, is the most twitch reliant game that I know of.

+Random Terrain Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 E.T. should probably be in the list somewhere since so many people can't keep from falling into the wells and can't get back out of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh4U3BwlTcY&rel=0&fmt=18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKGBSyZWuEk&rel=0&fmt=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickNixonArisen Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I don't have much to add, Kaboom and cosmic ark were already noted. Cosmic ark, to tie in to another thread, might just be easier with a d-pad. Those meteor are Nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari2600Lives Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Kaboom and Dragster come to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I will agree with Yar's Revenge. Once you are several rounds in, it take quick reflexes to respond to the angle the Quotile takes to you and try to hit him in flight (hitting him when stationary is like kissing your sister IMO). Also, once you get past the first several cycles in Phoenix, you need quick reaction to avoid the shots raining down from the ufo in the middle area you need to clear to shoot the slimy alien bastard. Just recently got Phoenix and LOVE it. Suprised I never heard about this one being a really good game before. Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDW Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) Othello No doubt But in all seriousness, I say that Dragster, Kaboom! and Cosmic Ark are the best ones. Edited June 17, 2010 by brandondwright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animan Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Bugs Your really have to pay attention to where the bugs are, and you have to line up your shot perfectly to shoot the lower enemies, but it all happens so fast you pretty much shoot randomly. Hectic as hell. But awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrabbler15 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 No surprise that I would agree with Dragster. If you ain't twitchin' when you're shiftin', you ain't sub-sixin'. But, for me, I think the best answer is Enduro at night in the fog, that was mentioned earlier. By the time ya get to Day 20-something, with time running out, it's a constant battle between going fast and staying at a speed that doesn't exceed the parameter of your twitch-time.

But, on your recommendation, I will dig it out and try again. This is a paddle game, right? Morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JingleJoe Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Cosmic Ark This. When you get to about level 10 and the meteors/asteroids get really fast, its just too hard! Additionally: Dodge 'em. You not only need to think 2 moves ahead but by the time you have thought 2 moves ahead your player is 2 moves after where you just were and you're about to turn into a pixelated explosion if you don't act fast.

Lord Thag Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Aww, you guys are missing the craziest one of all: Solar Storm It's Kaboom crossed with Astrosmash, only WAY faster and harder. People who can destroy Kaboom have problems with Solar Storm Pure, unadulterated adrenalin right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godzilla Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 most of 'em have been covered. ET is out and out BULLS*** for this topic. topic isn't 'what game makes people die cause they didn't RTFM.' Some other GREAT games that require the speed of the gods, Space Master X-7, Entombed, Oystron, Man Goes Down, Quick Step and Reactor. I'm sure I'll think of more later. This type of game is why the 2600 is still my favorite game console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SekOner Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 First and for most Dragonfire in the latter stages is ridiculous! Also, Dragster, Cosmic Ark, and Laser Blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
