"why the hell do you like atari 2600 games?"

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.

@obsidianspider

Go team Pew Pew!!!

[obsidianspider]

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?

[meleu]

@BuZz you are the boss. Can you give the casting vote and break this tie?

[BuZz]

Play both of them ? ;-)

[meleu]

@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?

[obsidianspider]

Chopper I it is!

@meleu Does that mean you're predicting that you'll have the high score for this week? ;)

[meleu]

@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.

Nicely done!

It really is a hard game. I kept wasting my screen clearing weapon because the gun you get isn't very powerful against those tanks.

MAME ROW #44 is live!

Should Guwange be the one, you'll have to translate the scores :)
Here is a useful link : http://world-of-arcades.net/Cave/Guwange/mode7/index.htm#score

I was curious if anyone has found an English version of Guwange? Does such a thing exist?

Edit: Arcade MAME rom I mean, not the Xbox 360 English release from 2010.

@alturis According to wikipedia, Arcade release was JP only.
