Spider Fighter
Super Cobra
Time Pilot
Twinbee
Yars Revenge
Yie Ar Kung-Fu

I will add you later, my tag is Vampyre Shadows if your wondering who the dodgy looking Geezer is

[ChipTune]

cool thanks.. the only games I have that you have are: Scramble, Time Pilot, Tutankham. Can I do challenges in your arcade using tokens? or do you have to invite me into a challenge?

Not sure. I was just referring to starting up a challenge with however many people on a game that I currently own, and if you owned it too. So I guess any one of those three games.

Ok sure, well I have challenges in those games currently running (i started them before you were in my friends list) so I will try to add you, if note I will wait for them to end and then do new ones with you included..

anyone else want a piece of the action add me if you havent already

[Mayhem]

Ah gotcha, didn't realise you'd already started challenges on those ones... fair enough.

[ChipTune]

I have added some new challenges, I hope people will get involved..

Vampyre Shadows - I just managed to top your HERO score.. no mean feat but I think after the practice I got from achieving it I will now be able to get over the 100,000 mark..
Seeing those scores of 999,990 is pretty daunting though..

Also would you guys be up for buying CITY BOMBER ? I played it in MAME and its good fun, much better than the annoying Road Fighter.. Shooting vhicles and using the glider to jump and coast over ravines is good fun. I am going to buy it when I get some points later but currently nobody in my friends list has it.

Will also get Juno First .. is that the best shooter on the service? the twinbee games look ok but I have never been a fan of that 'second button firing bombs to hit lower targets' in vertical shoot-em-ups.

[Jay]

Thanks for the challenges, ChipTune. I am beyond terrible at Iron Horse so don't expect much competition from me on that one.

Juno First is a superb game. I've played that more than any other game on the service. I was also lucky enough to get to play it at the Arcade Barn in Devon last year before it closed down

[Mayhem]

Juno First does get a little challenging quite early... it's telling even I haven't breached 100k yet on it. But if you're up for it...

Currently in a Time Pilot challenge, I'll have to check back Friday to see how things are going heh...

[ChipTune]

Been doing the Iron Horse Challenge..

The most annoying thing is for that game I cant use my Hori Arcade stick as the button configs that you can select are all terrible and it puts the special bomb button out of reach

The key to high scoring on that is to use the Punch, dont even bother with the gun or whip.

[Jay]

Yeah I use my TE stick and have to abandon using the special on Iron Horse. I use punch too, though I notice Shinobi has the top score so far using the pistol.

[James A]

Tried firing up Games Room yesterday to do some challenges sent to me only for the bloody things to keep crashing the 360 every time i tried to go into the Arcade bit.

[Shinobi]

I have added some new challenges, I hope people will get involved..

Vampyre Shadows - I just managed to top your HERO score.. no mean feat but I think after the practice I got from achieving it I will now be able to get over the 100,000 mark..

Thats a very good score, did attempt to beat it again but no cigar... I'm sure in ranked play my best was in the top 100 but there was a lot of maxed out score's of 999,990!!!! I remember back in the day on the actual Atari, getting to a Tentacle in the lake that had crazy range and would drag you into the lake; very hard to past!! Did you actually get to this? I'm sure though my memorys hazy there was 23 levels of Hero then either the game ended, or it went back to stage 1 but all the walls where magna

[Jay]

Think my high score on Juno First is about 150,000. Haven't played it for ages though.

[Riddler]

Juno First is far my favorite shooter in Game Room so far.

There is a nack to it. Its possible to get up to 30,000 on stage 1. Im trying for the 75,000 mark.

[ChipTune]

Just purchased JUNO FIRST, PITFALL 2, CITY BOMBER and will get MEGAZONE later so will be setting up some new challenges later today!

Maybe some of you guys will get CITY BOMBER? Its really good fun but nobody in my friends list has it yet.

[The Beans]

Nice to see Game Room getting some attention. It didn't deliver on the hype but I've got twenty arcade games for Game Room that had I walked into an arcade containing those machines back when I was a youngster I would have considered it a great place to spend my money.

[Jay]

Count me in on Juno First challenges please.

Nobody really had a crack at your Shao-Lin's Road challenge, so I practically won by default.

Iron Horse can f*** off
