  • One of the arcades in the town I grew up in had one of these, for a short time. I never played it (I was young enough to not be interested) but saw some of the older kids playing it. Pretty soon afterwards my dad forbid (forbade?) me from that arcade, because he heard that’s where they sold “drugs”. I never made the connection until just now. Pissed me off, because that arcade had Robotron.





  • Pocket Pair even provides you with the server if you want to host on your own computer

    REally? I was just thinking this morning about Super Mario Wonder’s online activity, and wondering why that couldn’t be done just between friends without Nintendo’s servers. I remember X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter had a PvP/co-op play option where one computer would act as the ‘server’, and would coordinate play among a number of remote players. This was back when dial-up was king. Now everything requires a server and a monthly subscription for remote play.
