I never played it in the arcades, I don't recall ever seeing it in Southend... I had it on the Spectrum though, and yeah - hard as nails on there too! Really looking forward to playing it properly

Yie Ar Kung Fu.

This will be the week when I FINALLY kick the crap out of Blues!!! I'm eating everyone for breakfast in that game now but Tonfun usually kicks my arse so I've only ever fought Blues three times in my life.

Two of those times were this week. Blues' days are numbered my son.

I'm thinking its gonna be something like that... it's pretty much how you can perfect all the others, with some repeating pattern (kick club in the foot, kick sword in the gut, punch feeble in the chest)

Sega Rally 2.

Every time I turn the cab on the hours fly by when trying to beat my previous Championship records.
Sega in their heyday couldn't be touched imo.

Normally metal slug x or double dragon neogeo, but this week it's armed police batrider and dodonpachi daioujou black label (still can't get to stage 3 boss...)

My son (bless him he's only 17, hasn't got a scooby on what games are on the Game Elf) just loads up random games. He hits a surprising amount of gold doing this.

I'd never played The Punisher before my boy loaded it up once. Years wasted! That's THE most FUN side-scrolling beat 'em up I've got by far! It smokes Double Dragon, Final Fight, Golden Axe, Turtles et al... well, it does in my house lol.

Anyway, that's isn't my coin-op game of the week. My game of the week was discovered in the same way that we discovered The Punisher. My coin-op game of the week is: Megatack!


Ugly? Yeah, I'll give you that. Not the quaintest soundtrack? Yeah, you can have that too. Game not fun? Nope, the game is immense fun!

A game designer probably once said "Just have some extra bullets shoot diagonally" and that man was a great man indeed.

This game is good on MAME too. Oh, and it does have an odd interface for entering your initials. If nothing else, it's at least somewhat unique!

Daytona USA.

We recently discovered that you can race backwards, against the oncoming traffic. "Reverse Laps". Loads of fun. The fastest lap time goes onto the high score board in the room.

I haven't played this much since I played it at my young gaming heaven (Pontins holiday camps 76-83), and then after on my Dragon32. What a great game it is.

I can't help playing R-Type as well...what is it about that game! So many right shootie spaceship games - the original R-Type just, well...rocks!

Scud Race.

Once I start playing I just can't stop, I switched it on after finishing work and I've just stopped playing it!
Normal course is really well designed, I'm finding expert course a bit tough at the moment though.
