Flipping love it and what cracking timing..

 

[Alpha1]

Wtf! Still have 40 mins left of #45!!!

 

[zapiy]

Lol you better get a move on..

 

[Mr20to5]

Omg. Uncle Poo as next week's game. I haven't played this in eons! I remember it to be rock hard, with the levels looping themselves round and round getting harder and faster.

 

[lesoleil70]

Roller-skates and Poo complete with treasure hunting and a tsunami.

Brilliant

 

[Bensonrad]

Wow this one looks like a nice long one, that'll make up for the far too short one last time hehe

 

[Alpha1]

Interesting you mentioned how Namco pronounced Galaga!

 

[Hurray Banana]

Loving the voice acting on this one. Shaun you have got the allure in your voice when doing the female impersonation.

 

[KmanSweden]

Loving the voice acting on this one.

Same here. Straight out of "North and South" with Patrick Swayze.

Great game is sunset riders but then again I am playing the snes version.
I've never played the arcade version as I had long left hanging around the arcades by the time these type of games were released.
definitely would be cramp on screen for 4 players but as a two player game on the snes it works.
its in my snes collection and I love it.

keep up the good work guys
good episode

 

[hungar]

Great episode guys, I can't believe your disdain for Sunset Riders virtvic, its just stupid fun, come one it even has multi coloured cows!
Really enjoyed the Sky Curser interview, best of luck to those guys. You can tell it's going to be expensive though!

Where did you play this Neil? In a cab? We can find little to no information about this game. Any info would be appreciated. It's bloody good, BTW.

It certainly is good. But there was no cab I'm afraid. It would've been on mame with a pal from years ago. You're right though, there's hardly anything out there about it, even YouTube is lacking in much content.

Level 4 is an absolute *&$#@!

 

[shaunholley]

Thanks Neil. IMDB has Diatec down as an Italian company. I've searched Google.it but still can't find anything. There was also a Japanese company called Diatec, founded in 1982, which could have had something to do with this.

What a terrible game. Rubbish rubbish rubbish. The collision detection, the low-effort mazes, cheap enemy spawn, even the choddy way the insert coin message comes on.

I mean "let's Uncle Poo" isn't even centred - how lazy is that? The highscore flashes in such a crappy way that it's brick to even take a photo of it. It's annoying even when the thing you're doing has nothing to do with the game!

This is as far as I can bear!

[Nintendo Arcade]

Lol yes
A Truly rubbish game for all the reasons above.

 

[virtvic]

No it's not. Uncle Poo is awesome.

I'm adopting uncle poo. He can have a dump round my place any time he likes.

Just don't bring the mole, Uncle...

I'm adopting uncle poo. He can have a dump round my place any time he likes.

Just don't bring the mole, Uncle...

If he came round mine he would have to use the outside loo
Or the sand pit over the back where all the dogs go

It would pass as a speccy game but don't think I would have put money in it back in the day.
What year did this come out ?

 

[virtvic]

Go and PLAY it and you'll find out.

As my esteemed friend Mr Holley has already said - if a big name manufacturer had put this out with a less poo-ey theme it would have been a huge hit.
