Gameplay Forum?
« on: October 07, 2004, 07:25:41 pm »
Hey Saint, what would you think of adding a forum dedicated to discussions about actually PLAYING arcade games?

I was playing Spelunker 2 the other day and got stuck. I screwed around with this one spot for an hour, and finally hit Google trying to find a walkthrough. No surprise, there are no walkthroughs for old games nobody liked in the first place.

(I finally figured it out, though -- put a bomb in the corner, if anyone cares ... :) )

But I thought it'd be swell if we had a forum here, maybe with one topic per game, so that folks could discuss the nuances of actually playing these games we've worked so hard to be able to play.

Just a thought.

I honestly think that may be the best suggestion yet for a forum.  

On the other hand, it would take an army of mods to move all the posts that are already in existance if they so decide that is what to be done.  

Also, I'm not too sure as to how much traffic it would get.  It's a pretty common thing arround here to not play as much as build...

You should make this a poll.

If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Another yay!  That would probably kick some of us into playing our creations more often.  ;)

Yes, a Gameplay forum would be fun.

My cab is mostly done so I actually have been playing it.  I guess that means I need to start working on cab #2!     ;D
