      @meleu @lilbud I second the recommendation for RPO. Great book. Going to be a movie soon, but as always, the book will probably be better.

        @caver01 The movie seems to be turning out pretty good.

          I need to finish watching Ghost in the Shell, (The original.)

          Perhaps this is the stimulus you need to overcome that difficulty in reading from right to left and read the real original: the manga. :-)

            That is a huge difficulty. I went through most of berserk before I realized I was reading the panels wrong. XD

              @meleu I liked the original Ghost in the shell anime a lot. It was something completely new at that time in terms of story and "live action" movie style.
              Successors and series anime weren't as good as the first.

              Looking at the trailer the Movie now in cinemas looks really interesting.

              In terms of Ghost in the shell gaming as far as I know a PSX and a PSP game exist.
              Haven't tried these yet.

                While it lacks sound Phantom II clearly paved the way for a lot of the newer vertical shooters we've come to enjoy. The graphics are simple, but the radar element is pretty cool.

                Embargo is basically Snake that just about everyone has played on a Nokia phone, though the comments when you die are sometimes pretty funny.

                Jungler is a maze game like Pac-Man but you can shoot your enemies. Ironically the only game this week that has sound has sound that gets annoying after a while and I end up turning it down.

                  I haven't had a change to try any of them out but after watching the video of Embargo, the gameplay kind of reminded me of a bad implementation of the Tron lightcycles game. I couldn't tell what was going on in the Phantom II video but now I can see that it is a radar effect! From just watching the videos, I was thinking of voting for Jungler but I couldn't tell that the sound effects will get annoying after playing for awhile. I might give them all a try tonight after work and maybe I'll actually like Phantom II.

                  @meleu @UDb23
                  The original Ghost in the Shell anime had some great CGI effects. It use to really annoy me around that time when I watched anime and they would mix hand drawn cells with CGI but GitS actually did it well and it was probably one of the first animes that didn't annoy me lol!

                    @backstander Yeah, from video alone, Jungler is a clearly more advanced game, but now that I've tried them I'm a bit torn between that and Phantom II

                        Sorry, I didn't get any time last night to try out these games. I think my video card in my main PC has died. I worked on it off & on for about an hour and finally gave up and just played Bomberman '94 for the TG16 until bed time. I think either Jungler or Phantom II would be okay with me.

                              Jungler? Sounds interesting.
                              Might try it. What version of MAME do I need?

                                    Look like player 2 would have to be left handed ;-)

                                    "It's a real snake in the cash." whatever that means!

                                      How would 1 joystick work for 2 players here???!?!? My mind feels like it is getting a blue screen of death trying to figure that out.

                                        I'm sure you'd have to take turns like what the original Super Mario Bros. did.

                                          So I downloaded Jungler. Do I need anything else besides the rom itself?
