An easy challenge - beat me at Gyruss. I play the arcade version here and I show you how far I got. :P

A great example of a 'Tube Shooter' ala Tempest

The maker of this game moved on to create great games like Time Pilot, Street Fighter and 1942

Highscore to beat (easily): 72450

Diagnosis: Gyruss Infection
Remedy: Keep on playing it.

Telling you all just a little tidbit about the Galaxy Force II game, showing some gameplay.

A little video on the Capcom shmup 19xx from the golden era of Shmups. Mind you this was totally unscripted.... it should have been a little scripted as the narration is well.... kinda rough :P

What Arcade-games did you use to play? When did you play them? And where? In the Arcades or somewhere else?

Interghost did a great video on it and made it a TAG:

In this video I am trying to play Gyruss on the Atari 8-bit home computer range (800XL/130XE) and I talk a bit about the game, life, the universe and everything on the side.

It is a very fun game and belongs right up there with my all-time favorites (time pilot, gyruss are right up there).

In this video I am trying to play Thunderfox on the Atari 8-bit home computer range (800XL/130XE) and I talk a bit about the game, life, the universe and everything on the side.

Thunderfox appears to be a Uridium clone - or as close to Uridium as you are going to get on the Atari I reckon. It plays a tad different though - so different in fact that I have no idea how to play this.

The son of the game creator got in touch with me and pointed me towards this review which explains how to play this gem of a game properly:

In this video I am trying to play Sega Karts Special Edition on the Saturn and I talk a bit about the game, life, the universe and everything on the side.

This game is fun if you are into your old school PC-VGA-like Kart games, mind you this is not much like Mario Kart and the likes. This pretends to be a serious game and it sort of is.

Again experimenting with various video setups to see what works and what doesn't.

In this video I am trying to play Sega Ages Vol 1. on the Saturn and talk a bit about the game, life the universe and everything on the side. Again experimenting with various video setups to see what works and what doesn't.

This disc is a must-have for Saturn gamers, especially if you want Arcade Perfect ports of Outrun, Space Harrier and After Burner II on a home console.
