AtomSmasher:
Like I said, just nod your head politely and back away.  Xiaou2 has some strange hatred for modern games and there is no convincing him otherwise, no matter how absurd his arguments may be.
Xiaou2:
My argument was hardly absurd.   It has real substance... unlike the
Stay away comment.   However..   to each his own.

 Personally, Id rather play a good game of Playtpus  than most
of that commercial FPS crud.

I know you believe that, which is why I'm not going to debate you on the topic and am telling others not to bother.  No matter what anyone says you will not be changing your mind on the subject.

And even though I know I shouldn't since it's pretty much exactly what I just said I won't do, but I'll also add that your not wrong for disliking modern games, you don't find them fun and that's perfectly understandable, the problem is that you seem to feel everyone else is wrong for liking them because you feel modern games are just bad games.  I'm not a fan of defender, but I'm not going to tell everyone it's a bad game.

Xiaou2, you sound like the 700 club.... bah bah bah :hissy:

Here are a few facts:

Forza & vodka is fun.
MLB2K8 tourneys & a BBQ cookout with pals is a good time.
TigerWoods08 on a Sunday morning is relaxing.

&..........Most of all..........In rebuttle to your anti FPS remarks..................Call Of Duty 4 online via my xbox360 on a 1080p LcOs screen with pounding 5.1 surround sound & cans of redbull all around me with a headset of smack talking buddies in my ear is always exciting.

Know what else is fun?

Playing Donkey Kong on a Wells Gardner.

So go play old Galaga, new Galaga, MotoGP07, get a girlfriend & relax a bit.

Oh yeah, wasnt this thread about Galaga......my bad.

erictrumpet:
Never heard of Platypus -- the screenshots look awesome. On the web site, the programmer whines about some boo hoo woe is me I can't profit from this wah wah b.s. and says he can't offer it for sale anymore. So where can we get it?

Eric.

EDIT: Found it. Man, I hate these free trial then pay games. I know people work hard on these things and deserve compensation but I have a hard time paying for software of any kind. :) (Perhaps I should start another thread about this, it's an interesting --though surely volatile -- topic. Let's face it, MAME is all about playing games for free that we used to pay $.25 per play for!) Anyway here's the Platypus link:

(I'm sure you can find it elsewhere too, this was just the first google hit)
