i wish we were still in the era of the scrolling beat em up

( manolith - six seasons and a movie, Thu 26 Apr 2012, 9:58, archived)

scrolling beat em ups still exist, like Castle Crashers
but they've mostly evolved now into things like God Of War & Bayonetta

yeah, it seems they're mostly downloadable titles now.
i like castle crashers and the scott pilgrim game

I'm racking my brains for a game i used to love as kid,
arcade game, side scrolling, shooter rather than beat-em-up, 2 player, something to do with Tanks, you could jump in the tanks, it was an incredible game.Me and my brother spent days of our lives in the arcade at Laser quest playing it.

I never really played arcade video games. I used to do the 2p shovey shelf thing instead.
Mostly I used to love Jetpac and Death Race on the spectrum. I played them endlessly.

i once won what appeared to be a rolex from the shove machines,
it was a plastic knock off and i lost it in the Sea in Margate.

OH SHIT
I just had a brainwave!

Imagine Konami made a side-scrolling beat 'em up of the Avengers? How fucking sweet would that be?

it was one of my favourite games along with tiny toon adventures

I hope that isn't you playing,

I always used to play as Iron Man
Iron Man was way cooler than those other pricks in that game.

The only way to win is to not play

( Eddache, Thu 26 Apr 2012, 10:44, archived)

or rather to play and then ragequit when you lose

( manolith - six seasons and a movie, Thu 26 Apr 2012, 10:46, archived)

but then come back again ten minutes later pretending you were only pretending to quit.

As someone who has just finished a degree in game development, I can guarantee that would be awful.

You need a degree to decide that anything involving b3ta is awful?
