We had discussed this game a few days back. Wow!! It looks better than I was expecting Ben!! Great job. I do hope you'll be able to put some kind of upgrades in. Maybe just bigger explosions? I realize choosing the different upgrades might be a pain to work in. No biggie tho. Even if it doesn't include these the game still looks awesome. My father and I spent many a night playing Artillery Duel and this game will give me a reason to kick the old mans a** again!

I dunno, Falling into the holes is part of the game play. I hink what turned most people off is trying to get OUT of the holes. Someone in another post suggested "fixing" E.T... Can this be done? Can someone make it where even if you just keep pushing up you wont fall in the hole? That would make the game much better. altho to be honest with you I never had a real problem with it. I played the hell outta that game as a kid... I do remember being frustrated sometimes at those stupid pits, but not enough to say the game sucked.

Yeah I thought of that too...Do they make an arcade style joystick for the PC like they did for consols like SNES? Ones with a set up similar to a real arcade game set up? That would be the ultimate. I saw a picture of something like that. I didnt know if the guy had custom built the controls or if you could just buy it.

Ummm Oh so you have to move to the left or the right you say? Jeeze and for the past 18 years I thought my cartridge was messed up. Seriously tho, Its not as bad of a game as everyone says. Read the manual. Get used to pushing in any direction other than up to get out of the holes (Down included) And when you finally do get the ship to come pick you up. Raise your head so your feet stick out the bottom and move the joystick left and right so it looks like your spaz'in out.

It seems to me that Texas Instruments did come out with a voice controler. The one game I remember that it was used with was baseball. Youd say "first" into the mike and the ball would be thrown to 1st base. The one drawback???... It would give electric shocks to the people wearing it. WooHoo!!!!

I'll have to go with breakout. Only because its the one that started it for me. The first console we ever had was one that played breakout and pinball. The next year Atari VCS came out and my family bought one. Then about a week later and many games of combat later... I came home and on the table was my first cartridge... (Not including combat)...It was breakout and I played the the hell out of it.

Link just took me to the groups page. I'm signed in Yahoo already...My yahoo names at the top of the page welcoming me...Now what?

The best place to hide is behind the couch in the first room. Go there as soon as your partner starts to count. He is too far to the left to make it over to the couch before the time expires. You can do this over and over and make him mad. After your done playing go check into a psycho ward.

After reading thru the posts here I was relived to see this wasn't a thread for Alien Porn like I first thought when I read the title. And yes AtariGamer your the only one in the world who can get out of the holes...Thats why everyone hates the game so much!!!

I second that Laser Blast sucks...And third the bowl-cut.

I'll bet he didnt get a new Galaga/Ms Pac-man Combo. I was wrong..They came down in price.. They're only about $3000.00 now. Galaga/MsP Near the bottom. Your right tho, The original would be much cheaper to purchase...Altho most have been played to death and need some work.

Ooops I guess you can't say ***** , I ment complain!!!

Hell how bout this: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?V...item=1290795831 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?V...item=1291148794 http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?V...item=1291859794 Maybe Ebay just doesnt want to help out the people in NY?? Seems like a bunch of sh... Sigh I guess it doesnt do any good to complain. I hear if you ***** they just boot ya.

Found this site on the web. Used Arcade Games For Sale Maybe this can give you an idea of what's out there and prices.

quote I dont recall ever not getting the bridge to explode. But maybe that is what we did?? I really can't remember now. Been at least 17 years since I played that game. I'll have to break out the old 2600 and give it a try.

Always great to see another high quality hack!! I'd also love to see the lable for this. Cept the Spice Girls are so over.... I mean are they all alive still? On welfare? Fat? Who knows. Any chance of Bin Laden Invaders??? Now that would be cool.

Does the "dark blob" appear in the sky? If so..Its a giant floating eye. You can check out the real deal if you have MAME. The game would start laughing... HAHAHA... Then this giant eye would appear in the sky...If you shot it... It would make a gruesome sound.... Kinda like... Bllooouuurrraaaacccshhhh. I think thats how you spell it.

Ive never had a PAL game but I thought I read that if you have a tv where you can adjust the vertical hold on it, that the games are playable...Dont know if this is fact or not though.

Yeah I liked Superman too. My friends and I would take turns playing and see how quickly we could beat it. It seems there was a trick to blow the bridge up without having to actually walk over to it. That would shave a few seconds off the time. I can't remember now what our best times were. Seems to me it was under 3 minutes.

We've mentioned Crossbow and Chiller (My favorite)...Both awesome arcade games... And really decent Atari games. But dont forget Cheyenne. Just like the others but with a western theme. All of these are available to use with MAME. Set your control to mouse and you can really rack up the score. I can think of another reason Nintendo wouldn't give it's seal of quality for Chiller....It was a pretty shoddy looking game on the nintendo. But I'm sure the violence was a bigger factor. I remember the first time I played Chiller was at a games distributer. They had it set up for free play. My jaw dropped when I saw it. Blow someones face off!! Torture innocent victims!!!! Body parts floating in rivers of blood!!! GREAT!!! Too bad Atari only realeased Crossbow. Would have been cool to see the other two.

Besides he did say the story was off-topic. The last statement might have had nothing to do with the rest of the story.

Maybe insted of a bat taking your stuff it could be a monkey? But the character needs to still be a square.

You have to wait about 30 seconds for the download to kick in.

Every batch file of ROMS Ive downloaded off just about any Rom site includes the PAL roms too. The description states which it is. Try this: Atari Roms This looks like about 585 games. You'll just have to delete the one you can't use.
