Plea For Aid #9

[loosechanj]

Argh. I'm trying to remember the name of a video game, one of those standup arcade things, from about the early-mid 80's. All I can remember is, at the end of each level, you got "Secret Bonuses" when you "docked". Like "Secret Bonus #29" and such. Please help. Brain in imminent danger of frying and all social relationships disintegrating.

Edit:


Aaaaaaah. That would be it. I rule, you suck. :-)

As in Astro Blaster. :-) Now, to get the mame rom working...

I fucking LOVE mame. BTW where can you find roms ?

[loosechanj.livejournal.com]

Not me man, it's the most annoying emulator in the history of ever. Mostly because I can't easily configure the controls.

And google $GAME mame rom should find just about anything.

http://www.rom-world.com/dl.php?name=MAME&letter=A seems to be a good place.

Well I use the mac version and I think it works fine, although I wish that they gave you a choice between using the direction pad or the analog joysticks. I just don't have the 100 bucks to get a real acrade style controller.

Thanks ! I actually use rom world too, but I was wondering if they're was a better site I didn't know about.

Then again, all I really care about are Astro Blaster, Gorf, and Tron. I did just d/l Berzerk though. These games are hella tougher than I remember, but that's probably just from using a keyboard instead of the controls designed for them.

Well I pretty much love most of the games from the early 80's through the 90s'. When you say Tron do you mean Disc of Tron or Tron. Disc of Tron is the shit. But Tron IMO is boring.

Not sure I know what disc of tron is, I mean the original arcade game YOU BLASPHEMER.

Dude get Disc of Tron. That is like one of the best games ever, even if it's a bit one dimentional. But most games were in 1983.
