Has anybody noticed something new after playing a game for 34 years???
I worked in a Pizza Inn (yes Inn, not Hut, long ago) in high school and the owner had a Defender put on site. A friend and I pumped countless number of quarters in it on every break until the day we left for college. Flash forward 34 years, this moring I decided to burn some Blue ROMs. I threw them in my Green ROM board. Since the Blue and Green have mostly common chips, I only had to burn Blue ROM 1&3 to replace the Green and pull out Green 4...but I digress.
I was trying to pay close attention to any differences and HOLY CRAP I discovered one. If you let your ship sit still, the HUMANOIDS WALK !!!!!!!!!!! To verify this, I threw a Red ROM board in and...and....wait for it.....the humanoids walked. I always just start it up, hit the start button,jam on the thrust and start firing. I can't believe that in all of 34 years I never sat still long enough to see the humanoids walk.
Anyone else have any earth shattering revelations after playing a game for so long?
Oh BTW, I did actually find a difference I had not seen discussed before....on the Blue and Green ROMs there is no sound when credits are added like with the Red ROMs.
