Another "I'm gathering things for my pi thread" This time about really old arcade games not made by Sega,Konami, Data East, Willams/Midway, Taito,Namco or Atari, those forgotten classics. I'm looking for obscure stuff like Jump Bug. I can only get so far getting everything Funspot has. Vector games especially. LOVE Vector games
I think I have almost if not all the stuff Konami put out up until they went 3d in arcades. Time Pilot is a fun game though.
Check these: Data East: Desert Assault / Thunder Zone and Midnight Resistance Irem's Gunforce 2 Konami's Vendetta
not made by Sega,Konami, Data East, Willams/Midway, Taito,Namco or Atari System 16 helped me gather up games from all those guys. A few slipped through the cracks like the afore mentioned Thunderzone. Midnight Resistance I need to figure out how to emulate the controls, I guess map the aiming to the right Analog stick, I'm doing just that with Mad Planets (Anybody know that one?)
I've seen that, thought it would still be valid to point out some games people usually don't remember.
Gunforce 2 is gaining notoriety for being Metal Slug Zero. I guess a lot of Data East games are forgotten I'm still finding games I didn't get when I was gathering up Data East titles. I'm also thinking more the Precrash era. But suggest away the MAME folder for my Pi is at around 600 games plus. and the rom set is around 6000 there's bound to be something I'm missing.
Does Cypress (sp?) count? I don't remember who makes this and haven't played it in a very long time. It's a ship that goes around in a circle and you shot at ships that come out from the center, you start out with single shot then destroying two mines and a power up you get double shot. After that those show up as two mines and an asteroid in the middle. After so many waves you fly to the planets in the Solar system to reach earth? <No it's not Tempest>. I don't know if it has an ending since I always have an hard time with it and the joystick only goes left and right but you go around in circle, love game though.. LOL =hugh
Theres always Double Dragon and Double Dragon 2. They weren't made by any of the companies you mentioned I think. Really great games.
