MAME ROW #12: Frenzy
-
Not a bad idea. I need to learn some sports ball talk myself.
-
-
I'm actually winded from laughing! It's been forever since I've seen those and I had forgotten that entire exchange. I'll be digging this show out for another marathon soon. Thanks for that!
-
Yeah Gauntlet seemed more fun when played with others. Frenzy got my vote.
-
Even though Gauntlet was one of my all time favorite co-op arcade games, I'm going to have to agree with @mviars
-
@backstander Haven't tried any - haven't had the time, and after this week I won't have the chance to play until early January.
Still, for this week I voted Frenzy then - followed your guidance and recommendation. Hopefully I'll get to play it at least once or twice.
-
Then let's go frenzy this week!
-
My frenzy is completely quiet. I downloaded the MAME Sample fullset from progettosnaps and didn't find the frenzy sample.
The youtube frenzy video @GtBFilms posted has sounds (and some very funny robotic voices).Are any of you guys able to put sounds to this game?
-
The difficulty really increases when the enemies start to shoot. The good thing is that when they shoot each other you still earn the points. :-)
When I play MAME ROW I start with the goal of at least break the default hi-score. As this game doesn't have one, I started with the goal of get an extra-life (3000 points). And I got it:
I'm waiting for you guys! :-)
-
@meleu I'll check my cab when I get home, but I definitely have sound - it might be the same sample set as Berzerk uses as it's the sequel to that game and very similar.
I'll check tonight and send you the sample set if I have it.
-
@GtBFilms My fault. I've just realized that the compatibility list has a column for samples. And the sample for frenzy indeed is berzerk. Thanks!
-
Some nice history and tips on Frenzy & Berzerk: here
-
Overlay coming ....maybe tomorrow...
-
@UDb23 OK, I'm going to create the github repository for the MAME ROW overlays (and some others). Do you have a github account?
-
just to start: https://github.com/meleu/MAME-ROW-overlays
@UDb23 hope you don't mind that I've put your files there...
-
@meleu No github account.
OK to put files there too, as long as you keep author credits :-) )New overlay incoming... right now!
-
Overlay(s) ready: here
-
FYI: found some interesting "enhanced" (but unofficial) sound samples, not only for Berzerk/Frenzy, here.
-
@meleu Can please specify on Github that these overlays are NOT FOR COMMERCIAL USE.
I want to avoid, as already happened with other retropie related stuff, that they could be used on some Retropie Image sold on ebay or similar. -
@UDb23 great work! This is one of the things I like about the MAME ROW, as well as discovering the occasional new gem, I probably end up hacking about with enhancements almost as much as playing the games!
A repository of these custom overlays would be a great resource.
