Indeed. :( I remember these games had bosses that had weaknesses against special weapons gained from other bosses, but I couldn't figure'em out exactly this time. Like, who the hell was I supposed to use that damn magic card special weapon against? :harold:

OOoh. O_O

You seem to know a bit on that game.

I didn't understand a thing because the game was in Japanese. What exactly was the point of using special weapons against those glossy blocks towards the end, which gave up large bolts? The bolts seemed kinda useless. >.>

It's translated. The game part, that is, but not the disc collection crap thing.

And... what are you talking about? Which stage are those in?

Oh yeah! That. At the bottom of the stage select screen, there's a panel to go buy power-ups.

Nah, Crusher at least fixes stuff. Just like Cookie and Cosmic. Unlike the other Admins. :harold:

There was also a great game that had a glitch where you couldn't jump over a pit because a creature would always appear to shoot you down. Exchanged it a few times, then took Robocop home.

---

Oh man, Turtles was great. It was also waaaay more difficult than the NES port that everyone complains about. :P I had Robocop too, although I could never find that Simpsons game. It was Bart vs the Space Mutants, yes?

After you're done beating the 8 bosses (I think there were 8, originally), you end up going to another icon thing, which leads you to 8 teleporters, which take you to different rooms. Each room had these glossy glowy blocks that you're supposed to break apart with special weapons. Everytime you break'em, you get one huge bolt.

Now I know why. :P

There were beheadings in Barbarian. :wacko:

YES! Loved that game. Seriously, I'm surprised the gore level didn't get more attention, especially after the uproar Mortal Kombat caused a few years later later.

Yeah, but don't open them all at once. You are limited, I think, to 999 points at a time, so you need to buy stuff before getting those big 100 point bolts. It's really dumb, I know.

The school has Athlon X2 Dell's. When I seen them I was almost crying. I want one. :'(

Uh...so let me get this straight, you had to load games from the computer, and you played them with a keyboard or a controller or something?

I've never even heard of Barbarian. >.> Then again, the NES was mainly about Mario and Zelda for me. :]

Probably because it wasn't near as popular :wacko: Games are as controversial as they are popular. There are much worse games than GTA, but GTA gets all the attention.

So, did anybody play an DOS games like syndicate wars or X-wing?

Yeah. You loaded them from either a 5.25" floppy disk or a cassette tape, which was essentially the same as a standard audio cassette. There were cartridges released towards the end of the C64's life but I never had any.

You could either play with the keyboard or a joystick, the latter of which used the same connector as a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis so the controllers are pretty much interchangeable. There was a mouse available too although mine never seemed to work. :P

Absolutely, but we lost the manual. You know what that means... :/

Correct. :nod:

Although, you couldn't type when a Genesis controller was plugged in. It would just screw the keyboard up. Try it. :P

Holy crap...I think a cousin had that thing too. :P I remember he had an old computer that used cassette tapes or something, but I never knew what it was. :P

Man, that Simpsons game rocked, I remember when Konami released some Beat 'em ups for 4 players, Simpsons game, Sunsetriders and Vendetta.

Brings back memories. :P

I'd like to point out that the computer WAS the keyboard. :XD:

Copy protection! :lol Yeah I remember that. The code page was difficult enough to decipher as it was - seriously, microscopic black text on a dark red background?

It was a table laid out like an Excel spreadsheet, and the code changed each time. :wacko: The game would load up and bark something like "COLUMN B2, ROW D7"! at you in large fluorescent letters.

Nah, you had to enter a code to start the game. There was a few hundred, as I recall.

Same for The Simpsons Arcade, btw.

There was this one game I had, where if you entered the wrong code it would actually boot you into an entirely different game. It was pretty cool actually.
