Good Deal Games  <-- It's like buying something online circa 1996: you tell 'em what you want and where you're at, and they get back to you with total price and payment options.

Fury Unlimited (click appropriate Buy Now button)


Ordered. Thank you.

I got mine in the mail today from Good Deal Games.  The ordering process may be a little old fashioned, but service was great so I highly recommend the site.

My copy came in today from Good Deal Games.

Unfortunately, my Duo's CD drive is temporarily on the fritz, so I won't be able to try this game out yet.  :(

Mine came today too.  It plays pretty solidly, and is most similar to the Gameboy version of the game in terms of gameplay, minus the scrolling, since we're not on a GB, and don't need to scroll. 

The chip sound effects are good, too!  I did find the percussion in the music a bit distracting at times (I would start tapping and thumping along to it, and wouldn't concentrate on the game as much), but the music is very nice stuff.

The Atari 2600 graphics mode is a nice touch, also. 

My main gripe is that the Gameboy mode isn't spinach green like a real gameboy.  This is more like the Gameboy Pocket palette (gray).

Overall, it's definitely worth checking out.   If you've NEVER played Lock n' Chase before, this version is quite honestly your best bet to experience the game for the first time.  It looks and sounds better than the Coleco, Intellivision, or Atari 2600 versions, and has passwords and features and stuff.

Plus, you don't have to deal with:

1) A painful Atari 2600 joystick
2) An idiotic Intellivision controller
3) An idiotic Colecovision controller

:)

oh, and there's multiplayer.  For those of you who have friends.   I will probably never experience the multiplayer. :D

I got mine too!  The bonus mag included was the Bonk one, which has a nice Bazzy review to read.  :mrgreen:

Hopefully mine comes today, as I'm going to be leaving for the weekend and would like to get it before I head out.

Glad to hear it's a good version of Lock n' Chase. Back in the 2600 days, that was always my favorite game. I remember my friends being all about Pac-Man (the arcade game, at least), and I was always like, "f*ck Pac-Man! Lock n' Chase is better!" Recently downloaded the GameBoy version on my 3DS as well, and that version is fantastic. Looking forward to playing this with my son.

Got one to sell? PM me!

This one is fairly similar to the gameboy one, sans the frantic chiptune music.   You'll dig it.


I liked LnC on my Intellivision.  It was pretty good there.

That is so cool that the 2600 visuals are optional. Too bad the Intellivision graphics aren't, as that's the version I grew up with. It's nice to get two new Pac Man style games for PCE at once. Can't wait to play them. :)

Arkhan, we can flip a coin to see who has to drive where for some multiplayer action.

Mine came in the mail today as well. I'm surprised to see the game sealed. Mine has a crack in the "spine" of the white case insert. Not a big deal. Read through the magazine during break at work. The magnet that came with it is a cool little added trinket.

Probably that small orange framed piece of cover art in people's photos. I thought that it was a sticker, a magnet is very cool. 8)
