Game of the Week Club

[Sinistron]

I've always been a fan of Qix so I love this- it's one of the first hueys I rushed out to get after getting a converter...  It can get a bit challenging- but as said above it's a great game to just throw on the screen every now and then- I find it rather relaxing actually- I'm hoping to play some this weekend- how far can you guys get in this?

[shubibiman]

Yeah, a hentai Qix game on the DUO would have been great

I can't get past round 7 at the moment. That big ship is a bitch, I swear it follows me.

[shubibiman]

I just went to round 8 and this round is just insane. No bonus, just loads of enemies.

[sunteam_paul]

Level 7 is beginning to frustrate me greatly.

[exodus]

I haven't owned the last two games ;_;

[sunteam_paul]

I'm sure there are other means...

I have to get VolfieV for PCE.

Back in 1999, I loved playing a game of that ilk on MAME. I want to say it was a "detective" theme, where clues of scantily clad digital women were revealed, à la Qix.

Anyone know the name of that game? Why do I feel it was a Korean developed game?

That sounds like Gals Panic.

This week:

METAL STOKER



Next week: L-Dis

[m1savage]

Metal Stoker is pretty fun once you get a used to the controls. Been so long since I'd played, it took me a minute to figure out how to lock/strafe. Gotta admit though, I'm going to skip ahead to next weeks game. 

[sunteam_paul]

There's a few things I like about Metal Stoker. The overhead graphics are well drawn and nicely coloured, and they remind me of an upgrade to some of the old 8-bit games I used to play. The sound is nice - decent if forgettable music with a few voice samples that add some atmosphere to the game. The game itself is generally pretty good; the aiming lock system is a bit of a hassle to get used to, but there's really no way it could have worked better in those days. Of course, today's twin sticks would be perfect. I just find it hard to get really excited about the gameplay. There's nothing wrong with it but it somehow fails to hook me.

I didn't really like having to press the direction you want to shoot with the d-pad, because I felt like it made me go in directions I didn't want to, occasionally. Mostly in my head though. I watched a complete playthrough of this, and found that interesting, but largely the backgrounds are too drab for me to really get into it.
