Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 I liked playing Hyper Sports on it, but lost patience/my temper because I couldn't figure out the buttons on the vault event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Whilst being repaired the machine broke even worse, shooting off 2" long sparks. It would have all been cool if this only happened when you lost a life, but alas it proved to be constant.The good news is that we've ordered a replacement machine, should arrive in 2-3 weeks. The new machine comes with 80 games, and they also send out upgrade packs from time to time as new games are licensed.The bad news is that not all the games on the old machine are present, and that we can't transfer the high scores.Here's a link:.: GLOBAL VR :: PRODUCTS - GLOBAL ARCADE CLASSICS :.

No amount of Lucozade could save it.Ahh, you see i had a joystick. I actually broke one once waggling it from side to side. Also that spinning maneuver that you could do in Gauntlet when all the wee ghosts and shit were surrounding you was the proverbial dogs knackers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I remember reaching Level 42 on Gauntlet with my cousin, playing on the Amstrad CPC, and thinking "shit name for a band".We made it up to level 100 or something in a mammoth session, then we got cornered and I saw my health go spiraling down to zero only to look over and see his health hit zero at the exact same moment. And that was the end of that. It was a shame because we'd budgeted 18 hours and got clipped in under 8. Think the game reputedly topped out at Level 255 (cue GEEK joke - good job it wasn't on a 16 bit machine or you'd have to play for over 5,000 hours to complete it... and there was no save game).The old machine had Gauntlet on it too, but it wouldn't run correctly.Robotron is an amazing game. Probably the single most violent 8 bit game ever. Makes Gauntlet look like a school picnic (well it did if you went to BOD anyhow). It's also lacking in political correctness, there's this one level where the blonde girls become dangerous after they are taken over by brains.I'm just pissed off that Venture isn't licensed on this machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I liked playing Hyper Sports on it, but lost patience/my temper because I couldn't figure out the buttons on the vault event.I managed to get to the point where I was able to play through the events twice, only failing on their third attempt at the vault.The Moorings saw a lot of money from me on that bloody game I'd still fancy my chances against anyone at Mortal Kombat though..

Teabags Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Robotron is indeed amazing.I think Peteowar was the only person to ever get on the tops core board on The Moorings machine.Does this one have Flying Shark? If so, I'm going to have to claim all top 20 scores again. Yas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
