Man, I loved that arcade game. I think it was the digitized voices that really made it. I remember saving up for the nes game and being severely disappointed.

@Sashko_Dee 3 жыл бұрын

Having your game speak to you used to be a pretty big deal. Nowadays we have both the storage space and the processing power for it to be mundane in games designed for your telephone. We never got those flying cars and as much as mobile phones are nice and all; they are basically dystopian surveillance devices with an entire array of sensors. Not only have they convinced everyone to buy their own tracking device (with non removable battery), but they've gone a step further and normalized everyone upgrading their surveillance brick every couple of years. That doesn't even begin to go into the ecological impact of all of this crap. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the Industrial Revolution was a mistake.

WE WALK FROM HERE! The greatest Jones film produced one of the top 5 Indiana Jones video games ever. Love the arcade game. While it doesn't cover the entire movie, nor have 2-player with Short Round, the game centers on the adrenaline rush of the last 40 minutes of the film. Kicking Thuggee ass left and right, rescuing children, mine car chases and ending up on the Rope Bridge against Mola Ram. The John Williams score is INCREDIBLE.

Here in the 70’ & early 80’ we’d have children’s Saturday morning or afternoon cinema sessions which for 50p you’d get a hour morning or afternoon of fun. So with many of my other school friends would be watching Leicester City play football or play it in the park i and my mates would be enjoying pure escapism in the local cinema and being as we had so many it would change as to which one we’d go to. Let’s not forget double features which are some of my absolute fondest memories growing up. Once again PatmanQC you’ve outdone yourself 🙌
