MAME ROW #43 - Chopper I
-
Well, I ended up voting for Chopper. :)
It's simple and have the aesthetics that pleases me (NEStalgia). -
Mars is fun but my version seems to have freeplay/never ending lives!
Chopper I it is
-
-
It's retro, it goes pew pew and has little multi-coloured dots for stars. And the icing on the cake? The right stick controls direction of fire!
No issues with never ending lives here:(My vote goes for Mars, Chopper was ok, and the other one just too weird for me:)

I have to agree. This is an important factor to take into consideration for this kind of decision! :-)
In fact, that's why I voted for Chopper I. I liked the Gunwange, but it lacks the pew pew factor. I know that Mars has more pew pew than Chopper, but I got confused by the controls.
Now I have a cool answer for the question "why the hell do you like atari 2600 games?"
My answer: "because of the pew pew factor".
(Damn! Now I'm looking for an excuse to keep repeating "pew pew factor"!)

surely not for the graphics ;-)
... I even bought a real one on ebay.. it has even more pew pew with those old joysticks and paddles.

If you want to keep them working fine never play Track & Field (aka atari joystick breaker) on the original hardware.

No intention at all ! I remember well when the game came out; arcade first then at home.
With the "highly ergonomic" console and computer joysticks of that time they were also "hand breakers" :-D -
After ten votes there is a tie for the winner! If you haven't voted yet, please do so! I will check again at 10 Eastern.
-
Go team Pew Pew!!!
-
With what I'm pretty sure is a record for number of votes, we're still at a tie, so I'll throw it to the group: What do you want to do?
-
@BuZz you are the boss. Can you give the casting vote and break this tie?
-
Play both of them ? ;-)
-
@obsidianspider my suggestion: the Gunwange is the odd, the Chopper I is the even. Get a random.org number, if it's an odd number, then we play Gunwange; if it's an even number, then we play Chopper I.
What do you guys think?
-
Chopper I it is!
-
-
@meleu Does that mean you're predicting that you'll have the high score for this week? ;)
-
@obsidianspider I'm not sure... Actually I wasn't able to pass stage 1 in my first tryings.
And I dedicated more time experimenting Gunwange with all three characters.Now I'll try to have some pew pew time until Sunday. :)
-
And here's the overlay for it.
;-)

Wow this game is hard as nails!
