Random Gaming Thoughts

I'd go with XL.

I had a very hard time playing Code of Princess on the standard screen. Almost feels like certain games are designed for the XL in mind.

A-Train 9 may very well replace Simcity 4, Railroad Tycoon 3 and Transport Tycoon as the economical of choice. And I've been playing Transport Tycoon since I was able to use a computer. It's that good.

In the arcade game Mr.Do, at certain random times there is a special diamond item that appears on screen. It's as rare as they come. If you can get it, you get a free game.

Today was the first time in the 20-25 years I've been playing it that I finally did it. On the 60-in-1 machine I played today, this is the screen you get -



I can cross that off my accomplishment list

Mr. Do! is so much fun. I thought it was going to be a Dig Dug clone when I first played it, but quickly realized how different the two games were...and how much more I liked Mr. Do.

Very nice and congrats! I never knew about that diamond freebie.

From what I understand, it's completely random, and it is usually revealed if an apple falls and lands on the exact spot where it is hidden on a stage. I happened to get it in Stage 4.

There's also a way to get it everytime, if you power up the game, wait for the demo to finish 11 times, and on the 12th time, as Mr. Do grabs the center food item, you put in the coin and then on Stage 1, you push a certain apple and you get it every time. Since I played on a 60-in-1 machine, that wouldn't be possible.

There is a video here that demonstrates it.

Wow Child of Eden is amazing. I'm really really tempted to buy a playstation move because of this game. Should I do it guys? I do like light gun games and the little lady can play those dance central games on it.

I've never played a Street Fighter game with any character but Chun Li.

I've never played a Mortal Kombat game with any character but Raiden.

Sakura is a lot of fun to use.

But Johnny Cage has that crotch punch!

Bone, Chun-Li has been my main since the first time I put a quarter into a SF2 cab. That said, you gotta mix it up sometimes! I think of it like this: any time I play a fighter for the first time that has Chun-Li in it, I use her first until I beat the game. Then I try someone else. Then someone else. Etc. In most Capcom fighting games I try to have like at least a half-dozen characters I feel comfortable using just to keep things interesting.
