Arcade and Retro forum beers! (AKA the night of the scandalously drunk retro geeks)

Myrddin

So how many victims fell foul of the RoEN?

Retr0gamer

Great night, thanks again ciderman. 8 player mario kart was foiled again.

pdbhp

Great night Cidona, no 8 player LAN MKDD though:(
Was it just me or was monkey ball being unfair to me?

CiDeRmAn

There was too much grub, I slightly overestimated the requirements while dazzled by the 21st century mystique of Iceland, apparently mums go there, and Kerry Katona no longer is allowed within 2 kilometres of the place so it was good enough for me!

CosmicSmash

Thanks again, 'twas a great night seeing all the different systems especially liked that Vectrex. Pac Man vs on the Cube in now on the want list. A big thanks also to pdbhp for the lift back from the sticks.

I know, and sure we were playing Boulder Dash all night long!
And you weren't there!
But after much consideration it turns out Repton is better, and now it's official!
If only you were there, maybe you could have swung the vote, sure we'll never know now!

DinoRex

They should make a Boulder Dash Versus game.

3 players get to be rocks.

CiDeRmAn

What a game that would be... quick quick here he comes, get ready to fall on the fool! Try to look nonchalant!

Only home a little while, just wanted to give big thanks to Ciderdude. Had a fantastic night and so much food

I'm glad that everyone enjoyed themselves and hope that we all do it again in mine in December for the Jebusday Beers, this time with EnterNow, O1s1n and Atavan in attendance!

Special mention must go to Retr0gamer and his mastery of Rocket Knight! Sparkster FTW!

Oh and if you look at the latest photo from RAGE they have 3 copies of Mario Party 4 in stock.

Retr0gamer

Are all 4 of them rare?

Retr0gamer wrote: »

If you mean R@RE!!!, then yes, yes they are.

CiDeRmAn

I have all the VR Racing titles out there, a Pal one for my local consoles, an NTSC one for my Nomad (bitches be lovin' da Nomadz), the one for my 32X, one for the Saturn, the PS2 edition and... that's it!
My favourite version is on the 32X although the PS2 edition is pretty good.
The Saturn game just looks the part, and has lots of content, but at no point does it play like Virtua Racing.

I think the boxes are there for them all, barring the PAL copy on the MD, which is the original scruffy looking nerf herder I bought back in 94 or so.
I just had a want for the boxed copy that appeared on my gamesroom floor before it was swiped up by Alphaeagle..... da Bum!

DinoRex

Only 1 of them is rare. The other 2 are Nintendo Select re-releases.

Pfft, you don't even have a PCB of the arcade game. How can you call that complete?

That is one arcade machine I'd kill for. The noise & presence of it blew me away as a kid seeing it

CiDeRmAn

Actually, a couple of years ago a full pcb set for it came up on ebay.
I ummed and ahhed and missed the end of the auction losing the chance to own that beauty.
And so here I am, a mere shadow of what I could have been.
Sniffle...

You never know, some day one like it might come up again...

I hear you lose all your cat like reflexes when you hit 40, I'm dreading next year :pac:

CiDeRmAn

I never had cat like reflexes to begin with, aside from the good sense to get out of the way of a flying bedside locker at work... handy that, on occasion.

Unfortunately the ownership of a PS3 has brought with it the desire to buy games that I want but am never likely to play, Heavy Rain today, GT5 at some point, ditto Ridge Racer 7.
Sadly I also want a Move so I can play Time Crisis, House of the Dead Overkill and, ah I don't know, lets face it's barely going to get used!

Don't forget Tokyo Jungle! Can't remeber the last time I used mine actually....

Heavy Rain

I think calling it a game is overshooting it a bit. It's an ropeily-written, interactive thriller with an absolutely pointless nude scene, coupled with a sex scene that can only be gotten through with a double-facepalm in knotted fingers, which is no small feat, considering there's a controller in your hand too.

Despite all that, I found it interesting. Mind, there's a lot of things to be ironed out before this even gets close to the game-changer its marketing promised.

CiDeRmAn

I'd like Tokyo Jungle, but I'd prefer a physical copy, so I'll have to import or steal it from Atavan!

I have to agree. It's interesting and enjoyable but when you think back on it it's probably one of the worst adventure games in a long time. Terrible story, ropey accents and pointless nudity with three or four decent scenes.

David Cage needs to realise he is a hack and hire a professional writer, if he did he could make something truly special. Instead we got something that would be a low point in a season of Criminal Minds.

OwaynOTT

8 player Mario Kart can go take a jump! If I come to the next one, I'll bring my saturn, bomberman and multi-tap and if someone else has a multi-tap, we can try our hands at a 10 player bombastic bombing bonanza which should be a bona fide bleedin' blast!

Well, I have Heavy Rain, I converted the suck ass ps3 games you gave me, barring MotorStorm, into credit in HMV, all 9.98 of it. Fifa was worth a whopping 45c!

But RR7 would interest me greatly.
I could get it cheap somewhere in the meantime though.

I want a Move set up though, not at all sure why though.

House of the Dead 4 and Time Crisis? I mean, I'm going to.....eventually.

johnny_ultimate

Time Crisis: Razing Storm actually is a pretty decent package by the looks of it. It includes Deadstorm Pirates, which is a solid, intense lightgun game improved immeasurably because it features pirates. At least it's fun in its (admittedly high-tech) cab form, but since you won't be affording one of them...
