New this week.

January 3rd, 2008 by xamount

‘N Sync, Paul Rodriguez, and Oscar de la Hoya may have gone to Chico’s Tacos for the Mexican food — but if they were anything like me in the ’80s, they stayed for the steady rotation of fresh video games. Games like this week’s Express Raider. I played that one a LOT.

I don’t remember them having Vanguard, but you should play that one as well. Hott stuff for its day: quad-directional shooting, HDR lighting, Star Trek theme, bump mapping, synthesized voice.

    Pretty cool to see a week of Arcade games.

    Also, I never quite got Puzzled’s multiplayer. It’s like you’re both playing the single player, but at the same time, and what one player does doesn’t affect the other person? Weird.

    Is that the DNA that’s coming soon?

    Oh man. I played the crap outta’ Vanguard on the Atari 2600 then the Atari 400/800XL. Trivia: The song played when you get the powerup is by Queen from the movie Flash Gordon.

    Penquin: Yep, the Merscom version. Get a jump on it and give the demo a shot now.

    Just did. The announcer voice is soooo relaxing. I wouldn’t pay $20 for it, but it’ll be fun to play every once in a while.
