Anybody that's been here long enough knows that Stuart Campbell was here for a while.
In case you care, this is when our admins in their infinite wisdom decided to allow Mr. Campbell to pursue new interests elsewhere:Rockwaldo wrote: Was his main problem about Raiden3 perchance?
Still I feel ashamed that I had done so wrongly, heh 
Oh believe me, I know Stuart very well from a few forums as well - to be honest the best way to deal with him is to just laugh at his frothing swearing abuse. If you manage to see past all that - he actually does make a lot of sense and gives great advice. It's a hell of a thing to see past though as he does love a personal insult or two.Shatterhand wrote:Looking back at some of the Stuart Campbell threads, I feel ashamed of completely losing control and just offend him directly. I think I ruined a very nice thread from Randorama about Gradius back there... well I know I didn't do it alone, but I could had been "better" and not get into the provocations of said journalist. It's just that I had to take him in TWO forums, and nonetheless my favourite forums at that time. It was hard to not "go mad" and just say what I wanted to say to him - I actuallty felt more like doing some "direct violent action" on him, but fortunately this is not possible on Internet - and this makes me feel really ashamed, as most of the time I am a very calm and friendly person, not to mention I am a militant of the non-violence culture.
Well, it's all in the past now
Yeah, i've been thinking about that, and i will add some sort of index style thing as i get more and more games in. If you go to the page via this link:Shatterhand wrote: Rockwaldo, can I suggest you one thing? There should be some kind of index to your blog. Everytime I check it, I do it from the first entry... and then I have to keep on clicking in the "next" entry up until I get in the most recent post.
This is ok by now... but I guess when you reach.. say.. NEW RALLY-X, I'll have to be clicking like a thousand of times to get into the latest post
Oh, and you should have played all games of Aero Fighters with Koeful the Vinking. He's the best... always... if you are playing a Sonic Winga games, and he's there, pick him, he's always your best option
Is there any difference between Sonic Wings Special and the Sonic Wings Limited PCB (difficulty, extras)? I finally found this PCB and should be getting it next week. Wouldn't mind posting scores but I'll be starting from scratch having never played the series before.Shatterhand wrote:I wouldn't know, as the only Sonic Wings game I played seriosuly was Sonic Wings Special .
Curiously enough, we don't have a hi-score board for this game here...
So, did you play it? I'm intrigued now..Shatterhand wrote:Lol
Yeah, If I was you I'd post a thread in the hi-score section, just so you could brag about it.
Up until someone decides to give a go and destroy your score
Hey, let me tell you something, when I get home I'll give a go at the game and see how much I can do . Maybe my experience with Sonic Wings Special will help, though I believe SWS is the easiest game in the whole series... when I tried Sonic Wings 2 in a local arcade I got my ass whooped so quickly it wasn't even funny.
So what do you guys think of it? It's still early enough that I could accept suggestions without needing to change too much.Bio Attack
Year: 1983
Developer: Taito
Orientation: Vert
Description:
Bio Attack is the vert that should have been a hori. You play as what I'm guessing is a small medical ship that's traveling through the human body fighting demon cats with spears, little frogs, asexually reproducing bacteria and aliens. I think. The sprites are a little to ugly too fully discern what everything is.
Being in the body and all, your main line of travel is through a long blood vessel that runs from your left arm through the heart and stomach to the brain. Being in a blood vessel means that there are walls and your field of movement is almost entirely moving up and down. Luckily you don't die if you hit the walls. You just lose control of your ship for a second as it bounces off. After each 'level' you reach an organ. This organ could be considered the boss battle. You basically have to destroy something in that organ so you can proceed. In the heart, it's the blue stuff that reminds me of mucus that's blocking the way out.
There are no bombs in Bio Attack, just a regular un-upgradable shot. The only sort of interesting feature is how you will move faster through the bloodstream if you are farther up on the screen. Think Shippu Mahou Daisakusen. Going slow lets you dodge carefully, but uses up more oxygen, which is basically a timer, since you can't refill it except between levels.
What I learned playing Bio Attack: If I ever have high blood pressure then it's because my heart is infested with little microscopic frogs.
This dude on arcade-extreme has an updated document on arcadia scoresRockwaldo wrote:What I wanted to ask - where would I find the "true" records for the shooters, where would be my best resource other than here? I would love to investigate how the Asian scores weigh up for shooters especially and would like to reflect that in the blog.
