    Thanks for the trouble. Yeah those button do look a bit like candy
  2. Another game to name (Driving and shooting)

    Yes, the KLOV website has pictures and a description of the game and thats it. Says the game is also known as 'Rush and Crash'. I think thats what it was called in 'Pluto's' video arcade where I saw it. I never actually played it, just watched it played. Seemed like a good game
  3. Another game to name (Driving and shooting)

    Hello there folks. I just recalled a game that I played many years ago (around 1992). Top down view of buildings and streets and you drove a car around these streets shooting up other cars and other obstacles, looking for an exit. Your car could withstand so many hits and eventually it catches...
  4. What was the name of this game?

    Yes I thought to myself, that sure sounds like Space Harrier. I never got to play the arcade version. Don't know if I will. I wonder if the game was released in New Zealand? I played the Commodore 64 version which I thought was very good and also the Sega Master System version which I thought...
  5. Where to get Japanese Candy style buttons?

  6. The stories for each coin-op game

    Phone # to call and hear the story of a game? Now thats interesting. I've viewed some of the operators manuals availible at www.klov.com but there are mostly 'technical' information and don't seem to contain a section trying to sort of 'capture' the fantasy world of the game.
  7. The stories for each coin-op game

    I was wondering something. You know how most console games come with a story written inside the instruction manual or partially on the box. Do coin-op games also come with such stories written on paper to go with the game? I know some games include a kind of short story on the screen, for...
  8. Chase HQ and Crime City connection?

    Right. this leads to another thing I've wondered about games. Actually I'll post it as part of a new topic.
  9. Chase HQ and Crime City connection?

    Hi again folks. Here another impulsive question. Are the drivers from Chase HQ the same characters from Crime City. On the intro part of Crime City, one sees the characters are Tony Gibson and Raymond Brody. I don't know if the arcade version of Chase HQ mentions these names anywhere but...
  10. Thunder Force

    Thanks mate. So there was a Thunder Force game for the PC98? Hmmm. Whats that? lol. I don't know why I've got this bug and have to find out about this Thunder Force game. But I think I'll do some more Internet research into it.
  11. Late 70s and early 80s space-ship games

    Hi gamers. I remember in my early days as an arcade gamer, the many space-ship, shooting games. I think a lot of them had a certain kind of sound and music to them that really gave them a certain kind of feel. Games like Galaga, Moon Cresta, Space Invaders..heck I should be able to remember more...
  12. NVRAM question

    Yeah, a cost thing then I suppose.
  13. Thunder Force

    Hello there folks. I wondered if anyone knows of the series of games Thunder Force 2,3 and 4 that came out on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. I wondered where did the first Thunder Force game come in then? Was is on a coin-op machine? Does someone know?
  14. NVRAM question

    Yeah, I always thought it was a bit of a let down when the game doesn't save ones high scores when the machine is switched off. Most games I know are like this, so I sometimes write down my score. Does anyone know the main reason why game makers didn't allow for saving of high scores for longer...
