Some levels seem beyond human capability. heh --- End quote --- I really like Satan's Hollow, but the graphics always made my eyes bleed. Something about a simple black background with some stars jives better with shooters for me. |

I'm having some (I thought) light hearted fun at Galaga's expense and you're basically suggesting I'm a dim-wit, just because I don't get your movie quotes? Sheesh You won't have to see me again in your "precious" thread ciao! --- End quote --- I was having light hearted fun too :dizzy: Seems I need to walk on egg shells around this place tho. I'm sorry I offended your sensibilities. Don't go away mad man. :lol |

Its actually quite interesting to me... to see a game try to represent Satans Lair. I especially like how the graphics change in color to simulate different lighting conditions. I also love how furious the game is. I mean, none of the games listed here have a giant boss (satan head) that moves mach 1, and shoots a 100 ft long bolt of fire. heh The Powerup on Satans Hollow is great too. 3 levels of power, by adding more guns to your ship. Which is severely needed in those intense demon filled skies. One day Ill remake the game... One day.... |

Galaga is the King! :burgerking: Tied for title of my all time favorite, with Ms PacMan. On a stock arcade cab, my high is in the 400's without the no-shot trick. With the no-shot trick, and playing in MAME (paused for breaks), 1.7 million-ish. |

When on a dusk level which is pretty much a two-toned red background, shooting at red creatures just plain hurt my eyes. It just made me wish for the plain old space shooter backgrounds so I could simply focus on what I was shooting better. |
