Discovered a New game today....
« on: December 23, 2008, 09:59:17 pm »
I'm running Maximus Arcade and one of it's features is to play a random game at set intervals of inactivity in the frontend.  Kind of like a screen saver, but better.

Anyway, I have it set to choose random games from MAME.  During this time it chose "Tenkomori Shooting" by Namco, which I had never heard of.  Watching the game demo got me intrigued, so I tried the game out of curiosity.

What a fun game!  You are a monkey that has to save his brother from the witch.  However, along the way you are pitted against a variety of mini-games with goals, working your way up a tower.  A lot of the games are varients of classics, such as Galaga, Dig Dug, Vertical Shooters, Missile Command, etc.

The game occasionally suffers from sound stuttering during scene changes, but it's very tolerable as gameplay is unaffected.  (Kind of like Simpson's bowling does).

Give it a shot.  I'm happy I did!

 ;D I was playing this the other night; I was going through my list of 128 vertical shooter games and realized that this game didn't really fit into that category  :laugh2:

Fun game!

So a leper walks into a bar and as he gets his beer, a finger falls off. The bartender who is serving him turns and pukes all over the place. The leper, feeling bad, says, "Was it my finger falling off?" The bartender turns to him and says, "No, it's the guy dipping chips into your back."

Great find!  One to try w/ the kids this Christmas...

The only downside I see is that it "eats" your quarter if you win...
I lost my guy on the very last level and used another quarter to continue
the game, beat the tower I was on, and then the game ended, without letting
me continue to the medium tower.  Huh.
