How does this game make you feel?

... and for $150?
 
It makes me feel like, if it's in good condition and on craigslist, it would be gone before I got done asking about it. :D

But is it like Scramble? I hate Scramble. :p

Yes.

Actually, they're different games in many ways but, overall...yes.

At least, I would think that if you hated Scramble, there's a very good chance you wouldn't like Vanguard.
 
Vanguard's great. I wouldn't compare it to Scramble if asked...except it is a side-scroller shooter...

Besides Space Zap, how many games let you shoot in 4 ways w/ 4 buttons? Totally cool!

Dang, I want this game now. Only 15-30 min away... !!! :D

I like Scramble and Vanguard but think they are not alike. Scramble is more pattern based IMO and you might as well walk away if you miss a fuel tank on the fast fuel boardset after the 4th loop. Vanguard is more of a shooter.
 
I got one in a trade, played it a bit, didn't like it (and I like Scramble), stole the monitor for my Gyruss, then gave it to a KLOV buddy who still has it...
 
Vanguard is an amazing game (Like every Centuri game). Speech synthesis, Scramble-style play with four way shooting buttons... how could you go wrong! :D

I passed on up for $115 about a year ago. I have regretted it ever since. I'd say $150 for a nice working one is a good price. Try and get it for less if you can, though.
 
I love mine! got it for $150 I think.... Had to fix the monitor and plug in the speech board and make a back door. But It really makes my centuri collection!
 
The sound effects and speech are nice. That was one of my first games and I didn't keep it for long. I found it too easy and the gameplay tiring. I have no desire to own another one, but I would own another Zaxxon if that means anything.

Do you like Zaxxon ???
 
ha.. I like Zaxxon enough to own it if I had a ton of space, but just couldn't get into Vanguard. It just doesn't seem like it would have a lot of staying power, but in a larger collection it might have a place.

Gotcha. ;)
