Was thinking about joining in this season

If so I'd quite like to play The Punisher (MAME), though it is rather close to Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, being on the same hardware an'all...the difference being that C&D is shit

The romset's 4.63MB.

I'll nominate Captain Commando then!

Just kidding.

I'd happily play both of them next season, The Punisher is the better of the two but C&D is cool, in a weird sort of way

I'll pick Ghost'n Goblins MAME

I'm going to nominate Zombies ate my Neighbors (SNES), though I've not seen many snes games on here before. Then again I've only been here a few seasons.

...Yeah, in the same sorta way that stabbing nails through your joystick hand is 'cool'

Incidentally, do scores have to be achieved through emluation, or can you use the actual boardset if ya got one?

Gotta be emulation, I'm afraid.

Also - what's wrong with C&D, besides the fact that it's acronym sounds like it's out of a nursery rhyme? Gotta admit it's a proper old favourite of mine, and while The Punisher IS good, it doesn't necessarily piss all over C&D from a great height or anything like that.

Fair enough

Dunno...nothing I can particularly point at and shout 'that's shit, that is!' but to my mind it's just not an overly good game. It was the first game on the CPS1-with-QSound hardware, which might account for something. Just didn't seem as polished as The Punisher, to my mind. Also, I happen to love the Marvel characters they used, and the whole idea of your character having a gun the whole time and not using it unless the enemies are also armed struck me as being rather cool (and a completely unnecessary demonstration of hard-ness

)

Plus I have a soft spot for The Punisher, since I rescued mine from the throes of battery-death

I'm more than happy to play both and see who agrees with whom though

Agreed on the polished thing - but I still love it.

That is pretty cool. It really confused me for a moment though... also, any idea how to use the grenades?

Does allow you to beat your way through insane amounts of people without getting hurt though - most notably on stage...4 I think it is (in the indoor poppy field

)

Grenades: Jump and press A+B together, or on the ground hold Back (the direction in which you're not facing) while hitting A+B. You'll toss a grenade one way and dive to the ground in the other

No, because of the control method required - it's deemed as non-standard with the two sticks. Some people would get an unfair advantage with the use of X-Arcades, etc.
OK, but can't the use of 2 sticks for independent movement and fire in this game can be simulated effectively through the use of a modern joypad and/or keyboard?

Surely people who play this game aren't using a control system where they can only fire in the direction that they're moving?

So er...are we agreed that Robotron is allowed?

Does anyone here object to playing this game in the Lleague?
