Tanx! I have Wizardry on NES now and it's a good version exactly like the PC version. I tried to play the next two games in the series but they didn't hit the mark like the first one. The first one is perfectly ballanced; challenging, but not unfair. I replayed it a few years ago with a friend. We raced to see who would beat it first. My friend won, but I was close behind. It took about 25 hours.
There's still Funspot in New Hampshire. http://www.funspotnh.com/ One day I want to go to Pax East in Boston and then take the couple hour trip over to Funspot afterwards.
It's a striking ad. I like the font for the title and tag line and the way they are not straight but curved a little bit. That and the foreshortened game box make me think of a close up photograph with a wide angle lens and the way it distorts around the edges. I love that kind of thing.
I started my second childhood in the 21 century reading game mags and comics, so I never saw any of these before now.
It had brighter colors than anything in the comic I scanned it from.
I think I played Two-Tank-Ham on Atari but I never played the arcade game. I found out it was one of the games used for competition at Twin Galaxies back in the eighties. You can see it in this famous Life Magazine photo. I guess it was a good game to go for high scores.
Hold the hot dogs, eggs and pickles. No wait... pickles are awesome. Hold those others though.
It's worth it. I got it day-one but only just got around to starting it. I can't seem to get any time on it during the week after work though. Weekends are taken up with 360 games at my friend's place, but I just have to finish it this year! I must!
Yea and spot Sharlto Copley as Agent Kruger. I didn't even reckonize him in this villain's role that is one of best I've seen in a while. He is amazing! He was the lead in District 9 and he played a great Howling Mad Murdock in the A-Team movie (2010). All totally different roles done to perfection!
Otaku's go to new levels of nerdiness.
