The buttons are nice and squishy on the Kid's Controller but it's hard to find where they are as they're flush with the plastic casing. The raised buttons on the Keyboard Controllers are WAY better suited for Tap-A-Mole as you can quickly touch type your way across the buttons by feel. I hope he makes a 'Dizzy Mole' patch for the game as it'll give me another excuse to play it on the show, the fast pace was crazy! - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could certainly be done using Darrell's Draconian kernel. Might be a good question to ask him during his Friday spotlight.

After Draconian, Galagaon and soon to be released Robotron...I know we could get more than a couple shots on the screen at one time. It’s also too easy to destroy the boss airships.

I haven't played that on a show as I couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the software in Stella because I didn't know that they used the keyboard controllers!

Thanks Nathan! If we can get Darrell to make Time Pilot, my son and I would be willing to test it. It’s one of our favorite coin-ops! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+sramirez2008 Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I couldn't sleep and woke up dreaming about birds, so although I'm still hoping for an updated version of Time Pilot, I'm going to have to go with a true Golden Oldie...Phoenix. I hope it includes the splash screen made up of birds, the horizontal scrolling background with stars, comets and planets and of course, the boss mother ship surrounded by her bird minions. Ah, that would be a sight. I love the coin-op version and the 2600 version, while being pretty good in its own right, could certainly be improved upon. It does have beautiful box art. So there you have it. Phoenix. We can all dream right? Going back to bed now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 IMO it is better than Time Pilot or Phoenix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Only just found the time to watch the last show. There is another mole game, called Mole Hunter, but it is not very good. And actually your are hunting mice. Edited August 14, 2020 by Thomas Jentzsch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, Tanya had way too much fun putting that together. James needs to wear that at PRGE. I'd donate money to Stella to make that happen.
