What is/are your favourite ARCADE game(s), but...?
« on: May 12, 2004, 01:32:16 PM »
Hoya!

The topic says it all, EXCEPT that I am not talking about new 3D stuff but rather 70's, 80's and early 90's bitmap champs!

Here I go:

Carnival/Sega (the VERY first video game I played, I was 5! :-D )
R-Type/Irem
Out Run/Sega
Double Dragon/Jaleco (err, I have a doubt?)
DragonNinja/Data East Japan
Hammerin' Harry/Irem
UFO Robo Dangar/Nishibutsu
Terra Force/Nishibutsu
Commando/Capcom
1941-1942-1943/Capcom
Raiden/Nishibutsu (I think)
Shinobi/Sega
Chelnov Atomic Runner/Data East?
Rygar/Namco?
PacMan/Namco
RoboCop/Data East...
Street Fighter/Capcom
Final Fight/Capcom

OK, I have others in mind but I will let you have a go first! ;-)

@Drwho

Hehe... I said ARCADE games (the ones you had to pay for), NOT Amiga games. It is another topic! ;-D

I forgot Operation Wolf. Brilliant game indeed.
As for HyperSports, well, it was quite a fun game but way too difficult!
I played the arcade a couple of times but I had it on CPC and I went past the second event only a couple of times...
Too bad.

I forgot P.O.W. by SNK! Boy, I liked this one very much! It has a nice atmosphere but was worth playing with a mate for it was not that easy.

Two MASSIVE classics now:

Bubble Bobble
The New Zealand Story

I wonder if someone on this planet did NOT like them?
As funny and as addictive as Lemmings!

90's games are ok as long as they are bitmap.
I dig the SNK classics. All had a distinctive style of their own, although some of the Art of Fighting seriess WERE damn hard!

I forgot another classic too...

P47 Thunderbolt by Jaleco (or Namco? I do not remember!) Yeah! Groovy babe!

As you can imagine, I am a BIG MAME fan but...

Many games are unplayable on my 060@50+AGA. Would having a Mediator and a GFX card improve my situation drastically?

Also, there are some sountracks I LOVE and I would love to have on MP3...
So, it is possible, through MAME, to make some kind of memory dump to rip them, then convert them to MP3s???
(Think of Street Fighter, especially Geki and Lee themes! ;-) )

@PMC

Muhahaha! I went further than the second level in NZS! ;-P

As for the Mediator+gfx card, I plan to bring my Ammy in England, tower her up and buy a Mediator, as well as a Voodoo, a Spider and other bits...

As for the OutRun soundtrack... I got them! ;-)
On my Ammy.
In France... :-P

But you can get them from stuff like Kazaa I guess.
Back then, someone got them for me from Napster I think.
Because, actually, there HAS been a CD released in Japan, featuring the OutRun tracks! Obviously, I would love to get it but it is NOt the kind of things you get at Virgin Megastore... (sacasm).

Now, no one has answered my questions.
Is MAME almost usable with a GFX card AND is it possible to dump its memory content to rip the tunes inside?

Maybe should I ask Exotica... ;-)

In France, Amigas are PAL and our current is 220V/50Hz, so it is ok :-)

THANK YOU JUPP FOR THE OUT RUN SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:pint:

Yeah!!!!!!! Out Run is one of the GREATEST arcade games EVER!!!!! No 3D nonsense, only pure fun!

The soundtrack tape came with the CPC version as well... Got it ;-)

Some months ago I bought a MiniDisc player  with can use a net connection and I though I would never use it...

/me will install the MD CD proggy on the cybercafe's peecee and will download all those tunes ;-D

Salamander? You bet! It is damn hard...

I have to add Shinobi, love the Amiga version, too.

Does anyone remember Empire City 1931?
On CPC, Amiga and St, there was an unofficial conversion called Prohibition. Liked this game.

AND... Does anyone remember this DEAD cool Tecmo game called Psychic 5???? I LOVED it! Got it on MAME but it is a bit too slow...

That is all for now..
