Morning all

Pot of the usual morning blend please.

You will find me in the vintage room again hiding from the building work.

Jerky I just bought this for the collection:


and to remind you of the game:


So anyone up for an epic co-op???

[Jonathan]

OH YEAH!!! GAUNLET!

I used to play this game like crazy! It was soooo hard and stupid in later levels.

LOL

Who needs a coffee in the morning when you got classic arcade games.

Co-op?I'll watch your back.Me and my wife used to play that on the Genisis(SP?)

Hahaha.. I loved Golden Axe! I even played Golden Axe 2 for a while. It was a pretty good game for its time. I loved those spell effects and how they'd change with each power-up. I had a copy for the IBM... it didn't feel the same, but it was still pretty good.

What about Double Dragon? That was a classic!

iFaQ:
Galaga... sure! I actually have that for the Atari 2600 still. Dig Dug machines may be hard to find. I'll see if I can find one at the local pawn shop. Got MW yet?

Pacmanfan:
I'll see if I can get this game for ya... it's hard finding the right machine. I liked the table-top version... not the stand-up version of the box.

Everyone else:
How's it going?

BOMBERMAN

'Somebody shot the food'

You forgot to add Gauntlet!!!

[pacmanfan]

Here is a linky to Bomberman
this space invaders is a terrible version, but will see what i can get when i have time. anyone remember Commando? we need a good MAME box in here!

[Jonathan]

I was such a HARDCORE Commando player! On my old C64 I had the 2nd joystick on the floor and by toe over the button so I can launch gernades without having to tap the space bar! LOL

I used to sit at the side of the screen and shoot men as they passed just to get more points for free lives.

[pacmanfan]

aaahhhhh, another C64 junkie eh? i played Commando more then any other game. i found one spot in the first level where if you stood and shot at a certain angle you would keep getting lives for hours. i got like 90 lives, and then finally beat the game... i nearly beat the game a few times with the 3??? alloted lives, but my C64 would always freeze as i was about to kill the morter guys in the last building it seems like...
nothing like the high scores on my C64, but i got 3070 points in space invaders i think my high score was up above 90k on the C64, but i can't remember... why oh why did i throw my high score list away!

While we're on the subject of classics, can anyone point me in the direction of Q-Bert? It's the only thing the missus has ever asked me to find & I failed

I even posted an article about it in my B&P on 6/25/02, but they don't have links to the game.

Sorry.
