Venus the Flytrap on Amiga 1200 (Robs Retro Rambles) @GigerPunk

GigerPunk Playing Venus the Flytrap on Amiga 1200 for the very first time.
This one was recommended/requested/suggested by Dudley of Yesterzine, "The Internet's fifth most popular magazine restrospective show" - youtube.com/@Yesterzine so, errrr, 'thanks', Dudley?

It looks like the disk image I used was a bit b0rked (or maybe my 1200 is playing up?) but the gameplay appears to be intact (what there is of it, anyway) so I think you get a rough feel for the game, regardless.

Exploring Forgotten Worlds

GigerPunk 2024-01-12 | Visited Scotland for the new year and popped in to Forgotten Worlds in Stewarton to see what goodies they had. While I was there I figured you lot might like a little look around as well. See how many delightful things you can spot!

Apologies for the heavy breathing, it wasn't till I was about halfway round the shop before I realised I was coming down with a cold. Left shortly after and went straight to bed!

Mega Man The Wily Wars (Robs Retro Rambles)

GigerPunk 2023-12-01 | Playing Mega Man The Wily Wars (effectively a compilation of Megaman 1-3) on the Megadrive for the very first time.
In fact, I've not played any Megaman games at all before this. Will I play any more after this? You'll have to watch the video to find out, won't you?

Regarding what I mention about lack of powerups, according to a brief skim through of the wiki for the game I see you apparently get a special weapon from defeating an end-of-stage boss. So, y'know, that's not going to happen with me, is it? Let alone equipping him with *8* extra weaposn and 3 'support items' in order to tackle the special 'Wily Tower' (fnarr) stage.

But hey, maybe it's fun to play regardless of whether you're looking to complete it? Maybe it has lovely graphics and sound and the perfect level of playability that means it's well worth the ridiculous prices people charge for a legit physical copy these days? Or maybe people just buy it *because* it's 'rare' and expensive and its value is nothing to do with the quality of the game itself?

Described in the reviews I'd read as a bit like Gauntlet, crossed with The Lost Vikings, it wasn't til after I'd finished filming I realised it's more like Chip's Challenge than anything else.

A new Robocop game? Just how bad can it be?

GigerPunk 2023-10-27 | Playing the Robocop Rogue City demo for the first time. (Aside from running it to check it actually worked first before recording, obvs)
A new Robocop game, after so many bad ones, this one's just going to be as bad/buggy as all the others, right?
Obviously, we have to see for ourselves, we have to KNOW, but we're not expecting miracles, we're fully expecting it to not even be worth the dollar Bixby Snyder would offer for it.

I've played the Megadrive version countless times but never the arcade, and Flo's never played *either*, but loves Golden Axe so I reckoned this would be a good one to introduce her to...

I've not even played any of those aforementioned home conversions, so Flo & I should be fairly equally matched here...

Chase H.Q. (Robs Refurbed Arcade Rambles)

GigerPunk 2023-09-22 | Playing Chase H.Q. on my RGB-Pi arcade cab for the first time.
Have found that if I plug in an old usb steering wheel for a PS2 it detects it fine and lets me configure it but mame only lets me use the dpad on it, so there's not much point in that. However, Final Burn lets me use the arcade stick, so that's what I've done here. I suppose the next thing to check would be if Final Burn lets me configure the wheel properly but this'll do for now ;)

Golden Axe (Robs Refurbed Arcade Rambles)

Obviously I've played Golden Axe before, on all sorts of different formats, even Flo's played it and it's pretty much her favourite arcade game ever. But this is the first time we've played it in the arcade *at home* :)

GigerPunk 2023-08-25 | Playing Truxton on my refurbed arcade cab for the first time.

Had planned on playing a 2-player co-op shmup with Psybernoid and thought Truxton was one but turns out nope, turns out that's just Truxton2, so we'll have to do that another time.

Fire Quest on C64 (Robs Retro Rambles)

GigerPunk 2023-07-14 | Playing Fire Quest on the C64 (well, ok a C128, but it's in '64 mode)
for the very first time. Only taken me 38 and half years to get round to it since reading about it in Your64.

Your64 gave this 4 out of 5 stars on page 62 of issue 06 - archive.org/details/your64-magazine-06/page/n62/mode/1up

But then they said the following about it when they were trying to flog copies of it on page 40, so something tells me they didn't get a great deal further than I did:

"A seven part game in which you guide Ugh on his quest for fire.
The first challenge involves viscious [sic] giant spiders who are intent on stopping Ugh reaching a swinging rope at the top of the screen. By swapping ropes Ugh makes it across the deep ravine and up to the volcano. Then, Ugh builds a fire avoiding the fireballs as he collects the wood. Next Ugh tries to collect the flame from the volcano without being killed by the earthquakes! Four more screens of action and danger, quality graphics and sound make this prehistoric "Hunchback" a good buy.

U.N. Squadron (Robs Refurbed Arcade Rambles)

GigerPunk 2023-06-30 | Playing U.N. Squadron for the very first time.
I've got the C64 version but not played that in decades.
And I'm not sure if Psybernoid has played either version, or just the spiritual sequel, Carrier Air Wing/US Navy.

Oh, and according to Wikipedia, in Japan it's known as Area 88 (エリア88) and is based on a manga series of the same name. So now we know. (I just wonder now if the series is as 'exciting' as the game...)

Ghosts n Goblins (Robs Refurbed Arcade Rambles)

GigerPunk 2023-05-19 | Playing the arcade original version of Ghosts 'n Goblins for the first time in I don't know how long, must be decades.

The eagle eyed amongst you may have spotted the title card says Ghost (singular) 'n Goblins, I didn't notice this til after rendering the video and I'm buggered if I'm redoing it now, it was like that on the original arcade flyer I found so it's staying like that now. Anyway, has anyone *actually* counted how many ghosts and goblins there are in this?

Rescuing/repairing an abandoned arcade cab. Part eleven.

GigerPunk 2023-05-12 | Well, a few months have passed since the last update and what've I done with the cab in all that time? Firstly, fitted a few more buttons, fitted a few more bolts to hold the control deck in place, wired up a kick harness for Street Fighter 2 and then promptly ripped it all out again as I'd been gifted an rgb-pi+. And then burnt out my fancy 6-button, arcade psu-powered supergun with said rgb-pi+ so had to unwire that and re-wire my original supergun, running off an atx psu. And then got a full rgb pi with a raspberry pi3, which worked ok, but some games ran a little too slowly. So when Pimoroni recently got some pi4s in stock I snapped one up, rebuilt the rgbpi image and here we are. Then Flo masked off the edges of the tv screen so it all looks so much better.

Jobs still to do:
Repaint the entire cab.
Replace beaten up old T-moulding with something nicer and newer.
Fix/replace my burnt out supergun so I'm only running one psu. And try not to burn it out again.
Add a trackball and/or spinner controller.
Make the control panel look a bit nicer, maybe cut a whole new panel that fits better and then add a perspex/acrylic top?
Fix things down inside so they're less likely to slide around if I move the cab about.
Wire up buttons 5 and 6 for each controller (which involves soldering directly to the rgb-pi)
Whittle down the amount of roms that I'm never going to play, like all the various duplicates/mahjongg/smut titles. And also driving games that require a steering wheel and other stuff like that.
Get better at playing games.

Obviously, some of these are going to take a lot longer than others but, for now, it's good enough to play on, I feel.

GigerPunk 2023-05-06 | Playing Purikura Daisakusen (or PriCla Daisakusen if you prefer, I've no idea which is more correct, if either) on the Sega Saturn for the very first time.

Imagine like Nina Williams from Tekken got her own scrolling adventure/brawler game...oh yeah, I need to do that one some time as well, don't I?

Rescuing/repairing an abandoned arcade cab. Part ten.

GigerPunk 2023-02-24 | So, I recently got a Golden Tee Fore! arcade cabinet, completely free, from Gumtree and I figured you might like to see how I do when it comes to reassembling it and converting it to be a multi-game cabinet. Time to replace that terrible excuse for a marquee with a nice new shiny one from Arcade art. Completely non-spon, paid for with my own money. Could've asked for a custom design but in the end I went for this one - arcadeartshop.com/product/arcade-classics-80s-neon-multigame-marquee
