Defender

Finally I've got to level 122 on Defender on my Atari 2600. It's the spiky
terrain and those pesky aliens that get me every time.

The graphics are amazing, I wonder whether they'll ever be surpassed...

 

Way ahead of you on that one :0)

Scramble totally 0wned in its day.

 

aha!

I may be doing one of those this year - I might have to email you and
pick your brains (though the "story" web page linked to from that page
is fairly useful anyway).

 

No probs.
Mine has just had a faster PC put inside it so I must get round to updating
the page , and I'm trying to find a decent condition "Gauntlet" cabinet for
the next project.

I also converted a tabletop machine but that was a complete git to get
everything to fit in there.

It's those fsking mutants, isn't it and that hovvery one at the end if
you're a bit slow.

The demise of the game happened when it all went 3D.

 

What, again?

 

Project PVR took precedence over Project Arcade-Game last year.

 

I'm after a fairly standard upright cabinet. What sort of PC is
considered fast enough for MAME stuff these days? I was thinking of
running a fanless Micro-ATX/PC-Chips motherboard/CPU rated at an
equivalent to a P3-800 - would that be fast enough?

 

Arse. It must be nice having so much to do that can can choose what
comes first. What's PVR?

 

aaaiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 

I know several other people who have done this.

Very strange.

 

why? I expect you're slightly too young to have spent a lot of time in
your early teens hanging around in arcades. I want one for my home
office/entertainment room, to go with the pool table and baby-foot.

Just what I was thinking - not the sort of thing I'd want in my house.

You look more like a pinball machine man.

 

*Now* you're talking!

your 70s-throwbackness is showing again...

 

I have a Bally 'Twilight Zone', what a *lovely* toy it is

 

The old PC was a Duron 850 which would be a smidge slower than a P3 800 ,
and that played everything up to mid 90s games with no problems , and some
more recent stuff.
More processor intensive modern stuff would struggle , but since I've put an
XP 1800+ in there I find myself with a whole bunch of new games that run.
The very latest games won't run at full frame rate no matter what you have
in there.
