Yes, it's a tough game for sure. 

 

I saw an upright Eliminator cabinet at The Arcade in Brighton, MI a few years ago but it wasn't running.  That's the only one I've ever seen. 

 

 

 

 

Well I had to look it up on Aurcade. There are 4 out there in the wild that is known about.

There's a really cool one called Eliminator that's kind of like Star Castle, but the "base" flies around the screen and the vectors are in color. 

 

Never seen one in the wild BITD or in recent years. Started playing this in MAME a few weeks ago and it's pretty cool but difficult.

And I don't remember ever seeing Kanagroo IRL. 

I seem to remember my bowling alley getting this one back then. I never really liked this game back then or today. It's good for one play and then move on to something else.

[Donkey Kong Pie Factory on DK Classics for NES]

Why not just play it in MAME?

[Super Game Module 2]

Not actually. I wanted to know if this was somehow based on at least something tangible (internal information, plans, etc from the company itself). I guess I don't understand why people want to make upgrades so far removed from the original hardware, and yet somehow still is supposed to invoke the spirit of the original. I as just hoping to find something that at least tied this to some vaporware, etc. 

Well it's an option for those that own original hardware if they desire to play advanced games. I purchased the original SGM when it came out and was happy.

I don't understand; what is the purpose of this addon??? It's so far removed from the Coleco, that I don't understand why it's even an addon?

Seems that all of this is explained in post #1.

they wanted to play something close to what they fell in love with in the arcades in their homes.   In this respect it failed.

Pac-Man should have been their flagship title, not something to cheap out on.

There was a department store called Two Guys that had an area tucked away with arcade cabinets. One of them was Star Castle. Loved that game back then and still do today.

Just to be clear do you mean regular Tetris "B-Type" on the NES or Tetris 2 the game?

 

Thanks for all of these great suggestions, i will check out Fable and Top Players Golf as well if i can get these games. Ive tried some golf games but i dont own a Neo Geo. Maybe I can get a Neo Geo emuator and try it out.

Yeah sorry B-type. The one that has an ending and doesn't speed up during game play.

[Retro Games That Help With Anxiety]

Tetris type 2 on the NES

[What game is this?]

PC/DOS remakes of arcade classics were the main things around

Champ Games. I had all his games.

 

That would've been in the mid 90s when I was playing a lot of DOS games on my 486. At the time I was playing a lot of puzzle games along with the Champ games.

 

The dial-up days.

Has anyone been able to get some of these 2600 home brews like Draconian and Super Cobra Arcade to work on RetroPie?

OMG WTF are you doing back here?

[Your reactions to MAME & emulators in the early days?]

I remember the first time I heard about it was the late 90s at some get together my wife and I went to. There was some friend of a friend that was all excited and telling me about MAME and ROMs. At the time I had no interest in video gaming whatsoever but I thought it would be cool to play Galaga. So probably that night I went searching for an emulator pretty sure it was MAMEUI32 and then after trial and error figured out how all this stuff is supposed to work.

 

It didn't get me back into retrogaming though to be honest as from the early to mid 2000s I was more into computers and networking and I was spending time with kids and what not. It wasn't until December of 2008 when I saw the movie Chasing Ghosts by chance one night on Showtime that I found out that retrogaming was a thing.

 

Then in the summer of 2009 I built my first MAME cabinet. I didn't want to sodomize that cabinet with a trackball so I built another MAME cabinet out of a gutted Centipede to play trackball games. Then I built a Pole Position II cabinet. And I had yet another MAME cabinet plus I added dedicated games like Monaco GP, Mr. Do!, Missile Command, Cosmic Alien and a few others.

 

I sold all that stuff by last summer and populated my small game room with pinball machines instead. I bought a Raspberry Pi and now I play MAME and other emulated consoles with RetroPie while I sit my fat ass in the recliner with a Xbox 360 controller off the big screen. Much more pleasant gaming experience than standing at an arcade cabinet. And as a result has renewed my interest in video gaming as I've been spending a lot of time the last 4 years playing pinball.

[How to ID Lynx Multicart?]

31 minutes ago, Fadest said:

Do you mean the multicart from Saint ?

There is no Lynx 1/Lynx 2 version.

The only thing is that cased version cannot be used with Lynx 1 with door.

But you can remove the enclosure if you want.

 

 

Yeah that one
