| << .... Pac-Man .... >>
I know what you mean about golden oldies, but I have PAC-MAN at home.
Now mind you, it is a crappy version, and I have drafted a letter to
Nintendo to voice a complaint. The game allows you 1 extra man after
10K and that's it! It only has 3 cartoons, "The Chase", "The Rip" and
"The Strip" (as we affectionately call them) and then "The Strip"
repeats itself every four mazes. It also only has 8 tokens (fruit or
edible items for points). Once it reaches the 8th token (a blue key)
it keeps repeating and repeating the key. I got up to 158,000, (I
started to get extremely bored at that point and let my 5 year old take
over) no more free guys, no different cartoons, no different tokens, and
no different mazes ---- obviously a low budget game!!!
However, for the record, it plays just like the arcade - easy.
Just thought I'd let you know it's out there.

the good old days!

| 456.7 | BLOCK OUT or ??? | NANOOK::PARENT | | Tue Aug 28 1990 17:37 | 13 |
| I don't remember the name of this video game but it was played on
a table model video...you could play against the machine or you
could play against another person.
You would try to block each other off with a running wall...that
you could each control, one wall was one color and the other was
another color...I kind of want to call it BLOCK OUT or something
like that, does any one remember the game.
And does NES make any thing like it...? Ir really was a good two
person game.

| 456.8 | blockade | CLUSTA::EFRANK | | Wed Aug 29 1990 08:21 | 6 |
| In response to .-1 .. the name of the game was blockade. It was a fairly good
game, A similar game is the lightcycles in TRON. Nintendo does not make this
game to my knowledge. Atari had it though.

| 456.9 | Yup, Thats it... | NANOOK::PARENT | | Wed Aug 29 1990 09:07 | 9 |
| Eric,
Ya that was it...I really enjoyed that game, and I did notice a
comparison between lightcycles in TRON but never did play the game.
Does anyone know if there is anything out there that is similar??
Thanks,

| Two venerable old games have made it to the Gameboy: Qix and Space
Invaders (both from the Taito originals).
Re. -1 Good choice! And it probably would be neat on the Gameboy too,
if you could make it using the Nintendo (+) controller.....
Say, that's a thought .... what old games would go good as handhelds?
How about Scramble and Battlezone?

Mr. Do! and Pac Man
Patiently waiting,

P.S. I see that Qix made it to the NES. All right!

based on the previos note I'm not sure for how long...

| I think I should mention one other favorite, which I tried just the
other day....
SPACE SHUTTLE (Activision) for the (*gasp!*) Atari 2600.
I still find it puzzling that, given the popularity of flight simulator
computer programs, no one has issued such a game for the Nintendo. The
Activision game is still an absolute marvel, considering the original
capabilities of the 2600. In a magazine article, author Steve Kitchen
says he wrote the program for the 2600 because it had the largest base-
line, and because it was a challenge to squeeze so much into what was
considered an archaic system.
Now, considering the obvious capabilities of the NES, could you
*imagine* the Space Shuttle flight simulator we could have? (*Sigh*)
