Name The Game

Been trying to find this game in MAME for a while now but I can't remember what it's called or what even what genre it would come under. It's a post golden era game, mid 90's, Japanese I think. You play a scuba diver swimming around dodging the meanies and flipping over tiles as you go. You can move...

Btw isn't there a way to incorporate YouTube videos into forums posts? Many other forums have this feature.

Marble Madness isn't a Golden Era game, it is the one of the types of game that marked the end of the golden era. It is a short duration game that has an end and you can also continue the game by inserting more coins. These are not Golden Era games. Hang On is another example. Another type of game t...

If you can get someone to push you then you have infinite fight power :D. It was always fun to get the Warrior pushing the Wizard through a double corridor of 3-shot grunts :D.

Hello Potante, nice gauntlet game :) I watched it all. Looks like you did lots of research on the ordering of levels and exactly when to go for the 8k deaths to finish the game. One question, I notice that when people submit a good score for this game on the 'hard' sets, they always get the Extra Sh...

1. NO
2. NO
3. YES

There should be more examples to rule 2 IMO. Not all key remapping is necessarily cheating. There are many examples of remapping which are convenient for keyboard users and make some games more playable.

We will make a new poll that has 3 options: original poll divided into 2 options. + diagonal stuff. I was planning to make it today, but am in a hurry now, probably tomorrow or tuesday. Behave :) Judging by what people have said it seems we need a number of polls :D. * Allow any kind of key remappi...

Just to be awkward, what about mapping a direction and a button to one button? For example, a ninja game was mentioned on the old MARP greenspun forums where you needed to press right and jump simultaneously to execute a certain move and mapping these to one key made it easier.

I voted no. I don't even know where to get the MAME 'u' versions anyway. If MARP is going to allow 'u' versions then at least a link to where you can get them should be made available on the home page. Anyway, I thought the reason why 'u' versions aren't made available for general release was to sav...

'Hitting the right diagonal spot' with a joystick has to be exact, ie. you have to hit both orthogonal contacts simultaneously, the same can be said for releasing the joystick from a diagonal position. Any gauntlet player will tell you that you need a few attempts to get the elf firing in a diagonal...

Remember about poor players who don't have money for sticks, spinners, trackballs, etc. Don't change rules for myself, change rules for players. It's not the money, the keyboard is just very convenient. Saying that, if I saw a Hotrod or an Ozstick or a SlikStik or an X-Arcade for sale in a high str...
