+therealbountybob Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 Some of my favourites: Donkey Kong - the one Gorilla based game we play every season Ixion - fantastic game; push or shoot the balls to (say it with me) heal the tiles whilst collecting the letters IXION simple eh?! (Happy Hero or Fandals re-patched version don't have the glitches and have better sound effects) Aquatron - possibly the best horizontal shooter for the A8 me thinks: great controls, sounds, graphics, very intense gameplay... "interceptor alert", "interceptor alert" Yoomp! - superb jumping game (NTSC version also on atarimania) L.A.Olympics (seems to be listed as Track and Field) ignore the rating on atarmania, this is great fun. Might cause some serious joystick damage though if this wins we can decide if we want an expanded Olympics round with some of the other sports games thrown in; perhaps we'll do a national contest??? I think Poland might be the favourites New players welcome Poll closes Sat 18th August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Not a fan of Yoomp from a competitive standpoint (I suck at it), and I hate Donkey Kong So I voted Aquatron as I don’t think I’ve ever played it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKong Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Donkey Kong is my favourite game of all time and definitely don't want to bust my only decent joystick playing a Track and Field game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 Donkey Kong is my favourite game of all time and definitely don't want to bust my only decent joystick playing a Track and Field game! I voted for LA Olympics, tough call when you've picked all the games I used to keep busted sticks for playing this and Decathlon; on some of the old metal inner ones the 'up' used to break first so left and right were fine... wonder if Scalak only has 1 stick too... trbb hatches cunning plan to retain his HSC title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I think emulation and a spare keyboard from the basement are going to be my choice if we go LA Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin case Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Fond memories of the old Track n Field & Decathlon round Bobs - we'd hold the base of the Quickshot joystick n shake the sh suger out of them. Happy days 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+orpheuswaking Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 GAH someone else pick LA Olympics, I refuse to play DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I would have voted for Ixion, but no ones voting for it. I'm just wasting my vote. I think LA O is gonna be tough using a keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) I really wanted to vote Ixion but L.A.O. was just too tempting... when I put any poll on with DK in the mix it's hard to ever see it not winning Still plenty more voters out there... remember tactical voting isn't such a good idea as the games with less votes don't usually go back in future votes Edited August 18, 2012 by therealbountybob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
