Are u saying Black Widow is like two homosexual lovers? And what are they doing to each other? Oh my virgin eyes.

I like both games. Couldn't decide between the two.

How dare you tarnish my thread with gay guys?


If I had to choose between buying a Robotron or a Black Widow that were equal in price and condition, I don't know that I could do it. I can easily get hooked on playing Black Widow for well over an hour and probably the same with Robotron.
 
I'm going with the minority here, and say Black Widow. My choice is certainly not a landslide as I've played both games many times through the years. Don't get me wrong, I love Robotron as well. Both are excellent games!
 
Other than using two joysticks, I would argue the two games are so dis-similar that they cannot be compared as one being better than the other. They're both "better" than most other games, that is true. For example, both are better than SmashTV and Total Carnage ... LOL ... but that has been previously discussed in other threads. :)

 
if black widow was raster instead of vector, it would be completely forgotten. It has some poor choices in game design that hold it back.
 
Wow we are on a necrobumping kick lately!

The round-web vs oval-web guy started it. 🕸

 
We must honor the poll of the departed forum goers

also I'd have to play them in an arcade cab, but on emulation I'd still go with Black Widow over Robotron. Now Robotron over Smash TV would be more difficult, but whats weird is would I go with Smash TV over Black Widow? Are these the rock paper scissors of twin stick shooters?

Everyone always forgets about Lost Tomb.
 
 
Robotron would win for me just because of the sounds. I find it an easier game to play as well. I do own a Black Widow so obviously I like that very much as well, but if having to choose, I'd still go with Robotron. I think because I remember it from the arcade. I don't remember seeing Black Widow in the wild ever but Robotron was everywhere.
