Scootray Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Surely getting top scores on old school machines gives away your age So I have no doubt I'd be shit at it. My gaming days started with the Sega Master System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Stu Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I lament the loss of Flying Shark but welcome Bubble Bobble! In fact, since I suck at Flying Shark, that's probably for the best. That's a much better machine, overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloud Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Robotron is indeed amazing.I think Peteowar was the only person to ever get on the tops core board on The Moorings machine.Is Robotron the one that used both sticks to control?

Teabags Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Thats the one. Its fucking hard. Everytime I've played I've lasted 2 minutes maximum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Daley Thompson also owes me a joystick.I only played that machine in the Moorings once, I put in money, selected Pac-Man and then found that the joystick didn't allow you to move left. I then sat down and finished my beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 You can play my old favourite Rampage here in a browser window. The 8-bit NES version.Rampage - Play the Nintendo game Rampage onlineProbably other games too, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thats the one. Its fucking hard. Everytime I've played I've lasted 2 minutes maximum.Me too, I'd be surprised if I even managed to last as long as 2 minutes on it.Strangely addictive too though, despite how hard it is....Rampage...was that the game where you were a gorilla and went destroying buildings?

Lemonade Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yeah. And eating army men and punching helicopters and shit. It was the best game ever on the Master System. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 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.You're kidding.The top scores were Spiderman, painter Dave, Mark Nicol, and yours truely.Peteowar may have been on the scoreboard, but only because the rest of us were restricted to 5 entries each. I was 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ummyeah Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 If you want top lug it away then it's al yours.Flash, were you serious man? Can't get a reply from your good self via PM etc...Pac-man has used up alot of my coinage in the past...something satisfying about these ghosts turning blue...muhahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Daley Thompson also owes me a joystick.And me, plus I also had to send away my spectrum to get a whole new keyboard. V B N & M totally trashed...Actually I still have my old spectrums, one with the old rubber keys and one with the rubbish plastic keyboard. And a suitcase full of games. Would anyone be interested in them? I only played that machine in the Moorings once, I put in money, selected Pac-Man and then found that the joystick didn't allow you to move left. I then sat down and finished my beer.I hate it when that happens. Having to walk all the way to the bar to buy another one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Tuesday the 21st October. This is due to the fact that a special courier that specialises in gaming machines is required to transport and install it and they only visit the NE once every 2 weeks... or some shit like that.
