Author Topic: A late Christmas Gift Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-29-2010 05:27 AM                        Hi all and Merry Christmas Here is a late Christmas gift for you all. I presume that many of you spent a large portion of your misspent youth playing Galaga at your local Fish and Chippery. There is a program called MAME which will emulate the game but for simplicity's sake here is a link to an online web embedded version of Galaga which is heaps fun. http://nintendo8.com/game/118/galaga/ cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-29-2010 05:36 PM                        Thanks, that's one of my favorite old games. I'm still wishing for a good version of Defender -- it's possible to find perfect video, but the controls just can't be duplicated on a keyboard!  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 12-29-2010 06:45 PM                     Cool! Thanks Pete. Now, if you can find 'Battlezone', then I be forever in your debt.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-29-2010 09:07 PM                     Now what was the game you had to pilot a moon lander down thru asteroids? Black & white I think.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues.

Thanks Pete. Now, if you can find 'Battlezone', then I be forever in your debt. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlezone_%281980_video_game%29 "Battlezone was also re-released to Microsoft's Game Room download service for the Xbox 360 and Windows-based PCs in May 2010." Apparently you can go to Microsoft's game room and down the game for free. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Room http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/games/pages/gameroom.aspx Alternatively I think you can get Battlezone to run under the MAME emulator. (Google it) Also I read that Tank Hunter is very similar. You can play this online http://www.javagameplay.com/tankHunter.html I ma sorry however. I just played the game and it is way too violent for you Film-Techers! cheers Peter  |  IP: Logged
