I honestly don't know why you guys have not ignored Blackdog. He is a troll plain and simple. He will never say anything worth hearing so why not ignore him?
As to why he comes back constantly the amount of times he has been mentioned in this thread makes it pretty clear he is getting the attention he craves. As for Galaga I am actually quite pleased this has turned up on Live as Live was missing a space invaders style shooter. |

@blackdog
I'm not quite sure where you're getting this 'short life span' thing from? Urban-myths-r-us? Granted, a very small minority of the initial 360's failed and people have been whinging about it but it's kind of like watching the news - do it for long enough and you'd be forgiven for thinking that the world is nothing but doom and gloom. And if you do think that take my advice: stop watching the news, stop buying newspapers and don't listen to blackdog (he's got rabies y'know;) Honestly man, considering how many early PS2s were sent back and how close the PS3 launch is, I'd watch where you're throwing those stones.

OK, two things.
Why did Galaga get 5/10 but Frogger 8/10? Also, don't you philistines know ANYTHING? Those links to pictures of Indiana Jones for the 2600. That screen was displayed at the end of the game. It showed Indy being raised on a pedestal towards the Ark. Based on how much you completed the game affected how high you were raised on the pedestal. If you completed all of the game you would reach the Ark. Don't any of you know anything?! Pfff! Pfff! |

Only problem for us who have blackdog on ignore is that we suddenly have tons of posts from people being upset with blackdog but have no clue what stupid things he's said :).
I'm a bit amazed that EG haven't banned him. Isn't it time to actually kick him out for a while? Even with ignore his posts affect the comment threads. Friendly banter between console owners are one thing but pure trolls like him should be warned and kicked out, at least for a limited period. As for Galaga. I'm happy :). I love the game and my wife does to. I think choice is good and some will hate it and others love it. /B |

Blackdog is happy 'cos he found some fans on the internet. Man why do you keep making a clown out of yourself, that "console-wars-thing" is so passe. Get yourself Galaga, it's as retro as the machine you play with.
By the way, look out for me if you find any way of fixing my PSP's (my 3rd one!!!) dead pixels - that IS NOT a myth!

JSW: Another vote for Galaxian > Galaga ;-) I think it comes down more to which one you saw first. Galaxian was historically more important - first colour raster game IIRC.
I want more unmolested arcade ports. I don't want things turned into widescreen clusterfucks, it'd ruin the gameplay - these games were /designed/ at a particular aspect, and don't function as well without changing so much that it's not the original game anymore. Try the horizontal aspect Aero Fighters game compared to the vertical ones. And as for blackdog? I was sensible and ignored him, but I still have to read the comments from those who haven't. Can't someone at EG just ban the little troll? |

Clearly Blackdog is a bit of an arse(Sorry BD, but lets not mince words here), but I'm convinced he's just taking the piss at this point.
At the very least, he still has a long way to go before topping some of the trolling zealots on these boards(See the most recent PS3 related story), so he's not 'ignore worthy' as yet in my book. Still... I'm shocked to hear he's going to the meet as well... |

"Why did Galaga get 5/10 but Frogger 8/10?"
Presumably because Frogger at least bothered its arse to have updated graphics, new music and such. For Galaga not to have done the same is the unforgivable thing about the release - it's just so unbelievably cheap of Namco not to have offered any updating options. It's not like they were short of brushed-up Galaga graphics - they've updated the game plenty of times in the past. Would it have killed them to have at least put the Galaga Arrangement arcade version from 1995 in there as well, say? I've been playing every official Galaga/Galaxian game ever (a lot more than you think) this week for a magazine feature, and I'm gutted not to have found anything even cosmetically new to write about in this shabby, shabby release. |

Look, I know I dont have to buy these retro games, and i understand its cool to slouch in the living room rather than hunch over a Pc, but jesus christ, the hassle, expense and anticipation scoring a 360, fat TV, uber-sofa and this is all there is to feckin play?!?
Something is indeed wrong. At least sort out the xbox back catalogue. |

@ Rev. Stuart Campbell
Presumably because Frogger at least bothered its arse to have updated graphics, new music and such. I don't think so. Updated (read: crappy 3D) graphics were the main reason Sega Ages was so bad on PS2. Without the original graphics and sound nothing of the original's charm would remain - it would just be a very sub-standard game. |
