Something different: A politician who respects/enjoys arcade games In recent years, politicians and arcade games have been unhappy bedfellows. Just this year, Beacon NY and Oklahoma have appeared in the news as places where politics 'n' arcades have not mixed well. But here's a feel-good...

Yep, Xain'd Sleena for sure. *Definitely* has that 'planet choosing' and 'man in spacesuit with a blaster' stuff.

Ooops, forgot to include the picture. done. :)

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! @Bradd, ooh, thanks. Fixed that. Oh, I've now got something pretty cool to give away. A "baby Galaga" cab - suitable to sit on your desk or monitor... ...and Phil has signed it. Here's the link for the giveaway page. :)

"Fighter Captured" - the fight for the world Galaga record I'm sure many Klov members will have seen King of Kong. Recently, there was some movement in the world record for Galaga, and I think you'll enjoy reading the story of Phil Day, who was hoping to become No. 1. It's not a short...

Hmm, sounds familiar... ;) I made my prototype in GM5.3, but I'm now at the stage of deciding whether to move it to GM7... or wait & develop it in GM8. I suppose I can keep working on graphics/sound/logic in the meantime, then get back to coding later. Yes, ditto.

Thanks Hyde! :) Yes, promise to show you some more stuff once I've got some nice vehicles & baddies to show off. So, what language/system are you programming your shmup with? Hmm, I wonder how many other KLOVers are making their own games...

Making my own arcade remake for PC - "Operation Block" (First of all, mods.. wasn't sure if this belonged in "general arcade discussion" or "chat about anything".. apologies if I've guessed the wrong section.) Operation Wolf. In Lego. Started developing this freeware fan tribute for PC 3...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Oh well, he'll be back.

Thanks. re Blurry - did you mean the small preview? Or did you DL one of the files from my blog? I upscaled the original DK graphics in a way that smoothed them out a bit. It kind of gives the impression of the way monitors display graphics, but it's not as "clean" as purely quadrupling the...

Less than 4hrs till Steve Wiebe's DK attempt. Get your "Go Steve" wallpaper here... Hmm, hope there aren't too many "Billy" fans here. ;) In less than 4 hours, Steve Wiebe will attempt to smash Billy Mitchell's current Donkey Kong record, at E3. I'm firmly on the "team Wiebe" side - and have...

He had some nice games in the collection (R360, Crazy Taxi, Ms Pac, DK, etc) but also some real shockers. I blogged about MJ's 6 worst arcade machines yesterday. ;)

Sorry! Just noticed that one of my links in my original post was mucked up. I've now fixed it. Sorry guys.

I've only played F-355 once (just 6 months ago - in New Zealand). Wow - what an - (I'm struggling for the right words) "un-arcadey feeling" arcade game. It kind of reminded me of the old "Test Drive" on the Commodore 64, mixed with a bit of Hard Drivin. But you could definitely feel a real...

Let's have a standing ovation, for arcade gaming's "Jerry Bruckheimer"... If Shigeru Miyamoto is gaming's equivalent of Walt Disney, then Yu Suzuki is surely gaming's Jerry Bruckheimer. He was responsible for those big, loud fun Sega hits in the arcade in the 1980s, like AfterBurner II and...

Oh dear, very sorry to hear this. My condolences to anyone here who knew/worked with him. Hmm, that leaves me in a bind. Do I continue working on a story on the TTW - as a tribute? Or leave it alone for a while, out of respect? I don't know any of the people involved, but I'm hoping someone...

Thanks very much, RR.. that's very kind. :cool:

Wow, what a haul, Roadrunner! Perhaps if I do a writeup on this, (see below) you might have some photos to spare? Thanks for that - I'll email Jeff, and see if he's still working on that writeup. (If he's not, then I'd love to do my own one) Ahh, yes, seen that - thanks. It's the link that...

Anyone here know much about the "Time Travel Warehouse" story? I know it may be "old news" to some, but I only read about the TTW this week, when I saw this UK ebay listing for some NIB Robotron cocktails. I blogged about it here, and then wondered if any Klovvers could tell me more about the...

Sorry to hear of your ESB/Vista problems Droler, I'll mention that over @ Retro Remakes, and see if I can get you a 'fix'. Yes - Bruce Lee's amazing. Managed to unlock any of the other modes yet?
