GAME ROOM X360 - THE RG RESURGENCE! JULY 2012

[Shinobi]

I paid the 240ms points for MIA last night. I'm glad you mentioned it, chip. I really like Green Beret and I had no idea MIA was a sort of sequel. It's a great game, but, having tried MIA on Mame too, this is the first time I've noticed a difference between the versions on Game Room and Mame. Not that it spoils my enjoyment either way.

I've sent out a few challenges on MIA, MegaZone, Super Cobra and maybe another couple.

And, Shinobi, that's a great score on Super Cobra!! I'm terrible at that game.. .. .. mainly because it's almost flippn' impossible!!

Hey, glad you discovered M.I.A. I also loved Green Beret / Rush N Attack so loved this too.. I remembered playing it in arcades as a kid, then found it via MAME a few years ago. It's definitely better than the prequel I think.

I had a go at your challenge for M.I.A and got a pretty good 174,000 odd points, so looking forward to seeing everyone else have a go!

First attempt I got to the forth level(losing my last life on) the men driving trucks I think, only got 137,000 nowhere near your score.. At least I can do the first 2 levels without dying

im gonna get some points tomorrow and buy some games like super cobra

I keep practicing and now I can get to level 4 without dying, but the game can stitch you up sometimes, especially the guard towers at the end of levels.. their shooting is very eratic.. also if you miss getting on the train and getting to the high platform on level 3 (4?) then you are screwed..

The problem with high score chasing is once you get to your peak then everytime you die once you have to start over and it starts to lose the fun. Saying that though M.I.A. Isnt too bad.. Really glad you guys are getting involved.

Trick Trap's incredible unfairness has resulted in my Hori Arcade stick resting upside down on the other side of the living room

I found with the first tower when the guy on the left fire's you can safely climb up without being hit and kill the other two sentrys with the flamethrower.. Not sure how you sneak up on the second tower, I doubt I will come anywhere near your score.. Never played Trip Trap will have to give that a go, pity there isn't a Hero challange sure that would be the only one I would win

Super Cobra I played the Atari 2600 version a lot, think it was just look that I lasted that long

Wow thanks Brian, you seem like a genuine retro gamer who wishes to contribute to the forum, welcome aboard

I got an invite for ChipTune's Time Pilot challenge, which prompted me to reinstall Game Room. I've been playing it most of the afternoon, demolishing a friend's efforts on Twinbee 2 (I can never remember it's proper name).

Incidentally, does anyone know how to get past that dragon head/wall thing on stage 2 of Trick Trap? I can merrily plough through te game up until that point then I die horribly.

Cool, been seeing your challenges, you sent me one for red baron right? But I dont have it..

Im really loving game room .. got loads of the konami ones and really enjoying trying to beat the high scores of friends (and overall).

as for Trick Trap, thats a bastard that bit.. The thing to do is stay on the far left and when the Head starts moving from the left and fires it's beam move UP-RIGHT and start hurling bombs at the top right of the screen.. they should hit the red thingy on the forehead of the monster.. you should chuck 2 sets and retreat immediately to the far left of the screen again. its lazer can never hit you if you are far left.. watch out for the little minions that appear too but they normally just get in the way of your bombs and get killed when you are throwing them up/right.

Hope that helps. See you on the high score table! I had my best ever go on it earlier today, getting up to the boss after the mine cart sections.

Thanks Chip.

I didn't realise you don't have Red Baron as today was the first time I really looked at this thread.

I'll be sending some more challenges soon enough.

I guess I don't have either of you in my friends list, got no messages. Sadly Microsoft still limit it to 100 entries... stupid really...

Yes I tried to add you but it said your friends list was full.. That must drive you nuts having 100 friends with those constant 'so and so is online' pop-ups

[James A]

Chiptune add us up i think ive got a few of the games you've got and would be up for some challenges. My tag is weaponx031277

[ChipTune]

done..

also could people pop into my arcade and play a few games so I can get some tokens as I have used all mine.. I will return the favour straight away.. I want to try out some more games before buying them and Ive already used the one demo go on all of them.

Cheers

I've cleared out one slot, so if you want to try adding me again...

[ChipTune]

WHY DIDNT ANYONE WARN ME THAT JAILBREAK IS SUCH A HORRIBLE PILE OF SH1T??????

wasted 240 points on this utter detritus. its worse than Venitian Blinds..

F()CK THIS GAME!!! ARRRRGHGHGHGHGH

[Ferret Oxide]

I guess that means that I'll win that challenge.

Seriously, though, you raise a valid point. It's an absolute waste of 240 points, and I honestly wish I'd never bought it.

@Mayhem, let me know if another slot comes free on your friends list. I'll happily send some challenges your way.
