MAME ROW #151 - Cross Pang

[Lyle_JP]

Ali Baba is not currently emulated properly in any version of MAME. The mystery items do not work.

Well, I know one I will NOT be voting for. Joust II was just AWFUL.

@VictimRLSH Joust II is kinda like Joust in gameplay...in fact I think it's exactly like Joust, but it's been a while. Joust (1982) is a classic arcade game, but the 1986 sequel just doesn't really do anything with the concept except use different stages. Nintendo's Balloon Fight (1984) was a fantastic rip-off with great controls.

Is it any wonder that "Arcade1Up" would include the original Joust in their initial arcade cabinet? https://arcade1up.com/products/rampage It's a classic.

Good selection of games.
I cannot shake off the feeling that we lost a good amount of titles in the previous MAME ROW, so please remember to carry these over to a future session.

[IanDaemon]

@AndersHP So you would like to see previous "losers" return as options?

[Lyle_JP]

@IanDaemon I would say only losers that received votes. Especially ones that lost close votes.

Nah, nobody is stopping you from playing these games any time you like. But I think one of the purposes of MAME ROW is to try new games. If we only play classics it defeats that purpose.
If you have a favorite, you can start a separate thread for playing and discussing that game.

This week's winner is Cross Pang

[IanDaemon]

So in Cross Pang...
(full) + (full) = (full) & turtle
turtle + (empty) = (full)

Right?

[IanDaemon]

I know it's not the RoW, but the game is so addicting!
