Yeah, BOSCONIAN is great; and shares some characters with GALAGA.

Now my next video contains another classic: AMIDAR.
This 1981 Konami classic has one of the weirdest premises but it's a lot of fun: you star as a gorilla, and then a paint roller, in your quest to encircle (ensquare?) all the boxes in the maze.  Snappy tunes and good action make this game a delight.

Didn't know where to post this but...

Star Wars: Battlefront to be showcased at E3 2014 June 10-12



I'm so excited for this - Battlefield in the Star Wars Universe...
Yes, DICE is making this - so I'm 100% sure it will run the frostbite engine.

More old stuff:
OMEGA RACE
Old black & white vector shooting game on a fixed game with walls you can bounce off of (thank God, since the thrust can make you fly around uncontrollably).  Blast enemies and the mines they drop.

I'm still playing - Castlevania Lords Of Shadow 2.  on PC



The HD texture pack makes this game look amazing!

Super Mario Bros Crossover, on Exploding Rabbit

Has many different characters to choose from, and god knows how many character and level skins:

One of the worst piles of s*** ever..
The abomination known as GUARDIANS OF THE HOOD (Atari, 1992).  Take the already crappy PIT FIGHTER and turn it into a Final Fight clone.  Poor hit detection, cheap enemies, poor sound effects/voice samples, and much more!

Richie Knucklez has the sit-down version in damn near mint condition. She's a beauty, that one.  :smile:

Just finished a vid for MYSTERIOUS STONES, a super-rare arcade game by Technos.  Rips off the Indiana Jones theme a bit.

Working on Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. Not too bad but the A.O.T. franchise needs some new combat tactics for your mercs and some actual gunfire sounds and not the canned sounds we all come to know and not-so-love. The second one, "The 40th Day" was the one Iliked the most, although my opinion could change after playing Devil's Cartel.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Playing as a male orc warrior.

The very odd old arcade game ARM WRESTLING, which has similar graphics and sounds to the earlier PUNCH-OUT!!.

Nope.  I did beat the girl and robot ape though.
