Rockola's (SNK's) Pioneer Balloon: Anyone own it? Play it?
Just got my dedicated PCB back from repair (thanks Craftymech!) and have been playing it a bit. My board has never worked correctly in the 3-4 years I've owned it, so I forgot how truly weird this game was. I played my first few games on a Nibbler adapter without the fire button wired. I just basically evaded arrows and tried to get as far as I could. Still not quite getting the concept of the random arrows hitting the birds (and you getting 400 pts every time they do) and how you somehow can cause that. Haven't got past the first stage yet but I hope to once I wire the bomb button. I'll post some pics and screenshots and update my progress as I go. Anyway, just wondering if anyone else has this game and or plays it regularly.
