If I had the right set up I would have quite happily carried on playing this .
Does the map keep repeating it self ?
You must have gone round a few times Chuckie egg2014-03-13 09:08:20
I got to the end of the second loop round. That score beat my TG score, but obviously no way of submitting it at the moment, and even if there was, I wouldn't waste any money on paying to submit a score on such an insignificant game.
It gets considerably more difficult after the first loop, with a couple of new enemies and differing behaviours.
The poor sprite detection as mentioned in the podcast, never bothered me before, but I found it really irritating now.

Thanks Vic - maybe review Eyes at a later date? And no, it's not sh*t lol!
Tronads - 360K on Mega Zone is awesome! I've managed 94520 and got inside the last zone but I now may try to at least beat the boss. I put cheats on and had a look - mmm, not impossible. I've just purchased an X-Arcade Solo joystick, so that may help.

First time I've heard your podcast and I enjoyed it, thanks for the shout out as well! I'd blush if I had any shame...
Also, I *like* rolling thunder...but Mega Zone...*shudder*..., and Twinbee = good bee, but not a real bee
I only got 10/15 on the quiz
, I am so ashamed...
Also, I know the arcades you were talking about in the interview down at Folkestone, but unfortunately they've been demolished now

I'd confused this week's game, 'Rescue', for 'Lunar Rescue', so I got a surprise when I loaded it. It's a twin-stick game so I used my 360 controller. Did not like. Over-sensitive controls and the enemy bullets were sometimes hard to see on the day levels. And every so often the 'copters would spit out super-fast, super-accurate bullets. I've just given it up on a score of 24,720. Nice graphics though. Impressive parallax scrolling for the time.

Can't help thinking that Rescue would be a better game if you didn't have to save the little guys and could just fly around blasting the crap out of everything. They obviously couldn't call it 'Rescue' then; maybe they could call it 'Super Copter Assault 2084' or something.
I had to chuckle when I heard my old mate Dave O. mention that I'd come up with a picture of him playing in the "Dutch Stance". That post is here: http://www.ukvac.com/forum/south-coast-slam-worthing_topic328332_post752062.html
For the definitive "Dutch Stance", look no further than world class player Albert Nomden, from The Netherlands, first picture on this page: http://www.pinballnews.com/shows/sweden2005/
Great series of podcasts, guys, keep it up.
Given that you're running with 2 joysticks now, how about Libble Rabble as the featured game, by Toru Iwatani (of Pac-Man fame)? Never did work out how to play it, but back in the mists of time, I remember XY-Man chatting about how rare that game was (1996?). It looked quite fun. I think there's one or two around now, though. I also remember playing it somewhere with Robotgreg trying to workout what you were supposed to do.
See you at the Slam...

I have to say I love these Podcasts....and I have to admit I had avoided them at the start, mainly because I'm not really a podcast kind of listner, and they had been about games I wasn't interested in. It was only when James encouraged folk to "tune in" at the last party that I thought I would give them a go, and soon realised they were about more than just the game of the week. I've obviously gone through the back catalogue now.....well impressed.
