Jya, that's about the long and short of it. Arkhan has a hard-on (Turboner?) for classic arcade games, so his personal projects tend to reflect that.

Not a bad plan, really. There's generally room to spruce up older arcade-style games, even with new gameplay elements, and their mechanics are pretty well understood and so not impossible for an individual to work out.

Except for Street Fighter. Man I still don't understand how people can analyze frame-by-frame hitboxes and stuff.

I'm talking older classics than that. Let's look at some of the games Arkhan has used as his inspiration for his various titles.

Berzerk (1980)
Pac-Man (1980)
Defender (1980)

I'm not sure Street Fighter fits into that mix well  ; )

But it's pre-N64. How can anything be older than retro 8-bit oldschool?

BERZERK! 

Man this was the FIRST home game I played that I honestly felt like I just plopped a quarter into an arcade.....granted I have never had the pleasure of playing this game in the arcades but it looked and felt like an arcade...this game and some sort of rubiz cube color swap Atari 2600 game where the first two loves of my home console playing life...

In fact a few years back I went into such a BERZERK fetish that I bought up every version for the Atari I could find and when ever I do get a vetrex it is to play BERZERK...


Evil otto for the win....


I mean he'll if you get the 2600 port and open up that manual....there is actual art in it showing a display of the robots......


And the main hero.  Very Logan's run.

Logan's Run

That's a game I'd like to see made. A retro game of a retro movie/TV property.

Also, pick up Insanity. It's Berzerk. If you like Berzerk, you'll like it.

TURBONER.

That word is awfully close to my nickname shortly after High School. TurnBone. Don't ask. I don't know what it means either.

True story! My last name is Turner, and then one day my best friend started calling me Turn-Bone. Not sure why lol

That is an amazing home brew!  I am so ordering a copy thanks.

[Elder]

I had no clue there were indie releases for the TG.  This is pretty damn awesome.  What other indie releases are must haves?

I'm going to go order Insanity right now!
