      Yeah we didn't have the internet or YouTube to look up how to master those Arcade games or even console games! I can remember going to Software Etc. in the mall to look at strategy guides for what ever point & click adventure I was stuck on. I also subscripted to both Nintendo Power and EGM magazines and they would have strategies and cheats for random games as well.

        I hope I can join this time. Last week I've been in training for my 2nd job (school bus driver (may God have mercy on my soul)). If I pass my test, then I'm gonna get some beer tomorrow night, kick back and practice and hope to join in this weekend. Bosconian is a fun game I use to play allot back in the day. I hope to make it to the top 10. :)

          This is a great way to discover new games! Hopefully will get the time to submit a score this time. My initial attempts have been quite poor!

            Booting up my RetroPie now. Finally got all the kids off my bus. They were angels this morning but damn, they can turn into demons in the afternoon. Nevertheless, I'm going for a few practice games. I'll pop back on tomorrow with some screen shots. Have fun gaming everyone. :)

              I know what a school bus is like. I ride one everyday.

              On a non-related note, Never played Bosconian

                          The sad part of the story is: I promised to take some Heinekens and it wasn't enough to make @R1n0X invite me to play on this machine...

                                Very addictive game! really enjoying it. Had some scores ~ 40k - I seem to be quite good at running into rocks when checking the map! :)

                                  Only now I noticed that you can loop through the map!

                                  I still didn't understand how exactly the "condition" works...

                                    Green means there is a low threat. Yellow means you are active in the fight and red means the level is taking you too long so they will try extra hard to kill you. The fourth one who's name I can't remember means that there is a small squad of enemies following you and it gives you a location of them on the map

                                      @Cole_48 so it has nothing to do with fuel. Thanks.

                                        I'm usually really good at this game but I just couldn't pass 28000+. Was going to take a snap shot with my camera but a bit embarrassed to actually do it. lol. So. Instead, I'm going to post this just for giggles.

                                          During the month of October, I try to devote whatever little gaming time I have to horror themed retro games to put me in a mood. So last night I found myself mostly playing 'Night Trap', 'The Rocky Horror Show' and 'Zombies Ate My Neighbors'. I love what you guys are doing with this and I plan on jumping back in later. To keep the ball rolling, I'm including a picture of Vicki, the little robot girl from 'Small Wonder'.
