Cynicaster Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Never played this one, but I seem to remember reading that Namco was going to give it the "DX" treatment for PS3/X360 like they did for Pac-Man and Galaga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 (edited) This game ends after round 32 A cool youtube video of rounds 25 - 32 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSUplo5i1rQ On a side note - the person who posted this video should add a few more tags to it so it's easier to find.

bigbee99 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 It seems like Namco had another game something like this but you ride on a scooter. I can't think of the name of the game right now but the whole game was like the scooter level on Battletoads. 92,250 - the cans add up B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyHW Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 (edited) This is such a weird game. Did it even get a NA release? Edited June 4, 2012 by BillyHW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 This is such a weird game. Did it even get a NA release? It's on Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for the 360. I think the only NA release was for the c64. Wiki also says. The game was successfully converted to various home formats, including the Commodore 64, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, NES and the ZX Spectrum. It appears on Namco Museum Volume 5 forPlayStation and Namco Museum Virtual Arcade for Xbox 360. A new high definition version ("Aero-Cross") is being developed for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network as part of the new Namco Generations line.[1] B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if it was released in the arcades here. I've never seen this game in any arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
