Looking forward to your first review fella.

It's an interesting question to ask most retro gamers. I put my self currently in the emulator category. Mainly due to time and room to actually use my real systems. I guess there are lots of reasons for being in either of this categories or indeed dabbling in a bit of both. That's my ultimate aim for 2012. Dabble in a bit of both,  be interested to read why people put here.

I am wowed by people making full sized consoles smaller. This time I am wowed about someone making an already portable game machine massively cooler. Using a GBA SP one clever modder made a Space Invaders cabinet suitable for mice. The cabinet is 7? tall, 3.5? wide and 4.5? deep.

Yes thats right, we need some help..

If you think you could help us let us know your interested either here or pm me direct.

Reviews, Content, Graphics, Coding, Promoting?.. Whatever you can do really..



Cheers

Computer Space is touted as the first ever, coin-operated video arcade machine to be commercially sold. Created by Ted Dabny and Nolan Bushnell -- original Atari founders, its gameplay consisted of maneuvering a rocket ship to avoid enemy fire from flying saucers (while firing off missiles to destroy them), using a thruster and rotational buttons -- this type of game would later be known as a multi-directional shooter. If you're score was higher than the computers after each 90-second session, you were rewarded with another round of play.

Galaxian is a classic Space Invaders inspired player vs. Aliens shoot-'em-up, released in 1979.

Its one of my earliest memories of Arcade Gaming, watching my sister playing it whilst i kept trying to bash the button.

Here is a new feature..

Lets list the rare games out there that are worth more now than at retail.

First up.

Panzer Dragoon Saga, for the Sega Saturn.. Considered to be the best RPG ever for a Sega system, Panzer Dragoon Saga tells the story of Edge and a mystical dragon. Attention to detail is great, with game makers even inventing a language solely for the use of the game. Limit print run of 10,000 copies puts this in the Rare category.
