Need a listener game for podcast 12

[virtvic]

Can anyone put forward a game for us to review for podcast 12?

We're doing Iron Horse for #11 and need a good 'Un for the next podcast.

Something that is easy to play on a standard cab / home mame machine please...

Cheers! Any other topics would be useful too!virtvic2014-04-09 23:56:35

forgotten world would be good but that needs a dedicated cab or some sort of dedicated control panel at least

sexy paradous seems to be one that's poping up in collectors hands and seems a funny shumps that deserves a looking at

even if its just for the entertainment factor

 

[tronads]

Mappy or Vulgus.

 

[Hurray Banana]

Jumping Jack
Pengo

 

[Alpha1]

Some of my favourite games

GRAVITAR

PAPERBOY

ZOOKEEPER

BLACK TIGER

SECTION Z

BERZERK

MAJOR HAVOC

TUTANKHAM

STAR CASTLE

DOUBLE DRAGON

STAR WARS

BUGGY BOY

RIDGE RACER

MORTAL KOMBAT II

CRAZY BALLOON

 

[virtvic]

Not sure what Alex thinks, but for me - it's a toss up between Vulgus, Jumping Jack or Berserk...

 

[Adrian Purser]

Some of my favourites -

juno first
exzizus

xevious

burger time

mr. do

Kung-Fu Master

Shinobi

elevator action

and some others that are difficult to play in a jamma cab -

Gauntlet 2

Field Goal

Astro Blaster

Depth Charge

 

[Alpha1]

You guys should do a slam weekender review on a game. Pick one and fight to the death over it.

 

[virtvic]

We will be doing (probably) the next weekender - so that will be happening.

Also - We don't really want to cover stuff No Quarter have already done.

 

[IndyJones]

I'm also going to vote for kung fu master, a classic game

 

[shaunholley]

Found a good shooter on Mame the other day: Gun & Frontier by Taito.

 

[virtvic]

The game for pod#12 has been decided!

We will put your game on the list, though.

Mr. Purser - most of those games have bindun on No Quarter. Also - why is A strong Blaster difficult to play in ajamma cab? Because of the pin outs? We Use Mame If need be...

 

[Adrian Purser]

Mr. Purser - most of those games have bindun on No Quarter.

Ok. I'm not familiar with No Quarter but I will check it out.

Also - why is A strong Blaster difficult to play in ajamma cab? Because of the pin outs? We Use Mame If need be...

Good Point. But Astro Blaster isn't the most convenient game to wire up to a jamma cab and it needs -12V for the audio. The last time I played it in Mame it didn't have any sound, only speech. But I may have been missing the samples or have an old version of Mame.

 

[virtvic]

No Quarter is really good - especially if you like The Ten Pence Arcade Podcast

As for Astro Blaster - is that the game with all the secrets in it? I think NQ may have already done that one too!

We did do Zoo Keeper, after they did (way after) - but we put our own spin on it (I hated it, then warmed to it a little

)

Block Hole (Aka Quarth)

Section Z.
I need to challenge Oll at that. Wish. I could make the slam and bring the double dragon with it in.
