I'm up for hosting the January one btw

Before I made the long winded emotional post, I was going to suggest that!


Your absence tonight will be a great excuse to have another one soon,

it's only fair to someone as enthusiastic as yourself with such a nice console collection...

CiDeRmAn

Thanks for a great night again ciderman. Even a few dodgy hitboxes couldn't spoil the night. Thanks a million for luigi's mansion and a lend of the books!

It was a foine night to be shure.

CiDeRmAn

Did someone text Sean Moncrieff on the Radio about this? he mentioned a party featuring retro games as the main form of entertainment and I figured it could only be boards beers

DinoRex

Well the Exchange are running a night on Thursday if anyone wants to pop along:

LOL! Sure why the **** would anyone want to play a game like that,
when you can go to a perfectly good real life Irish Forest,
get someone to dress up as a leprechaun and have them chase you around the place?

Young fellas these days and their video games, they'd do anything to avoid getting some decent exercise! :pac:

Found the name of that Side Scolling Beat em up we randomized
"Ninja Baseball Batman"

And Sparks, U like Bolderdash much no?

Myrddin

You randomised Ninja Baseball Bat Man? What a result!

johnny_ultimate

If by randomise you mean me sifting through the MAME list picking games with funny names, then yes :pac:

I still am disappointed that the game wasn't a dodgy hacked ROM about Batman engaging in some ninja like activities.

CiDeRmAn

Hmm, reminds me of BatManuel in The Tick!

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy

and then



(was it Super HitBox Adventure? I forget, it wouldn't fit anyway)

Atavan-Halen

What's that game?! I need it!

Game Dev Story. It's ludicrously addictive. Spent around three hours staring at my iPod in a trance when I first downloaded it :pac:

Although those bastard reviewers never give a full Famitsu 40

DinoRex

I can host on the 30th if anyone is around.

I'd like to think that my place in Artane is slightly more central than most.

CiDeRmAn

30th of December?
Hmm, we'll have to see...
At least I won't have to give you a lift!
And my Pacman Vs stays home!

DinoRex

I think I left that Atari power adapter at your place by the way.... don't worry, it's not cursed or anything.

CiDeRmAn

Now to see if the Enternow template is true, he will say he is going, along with many others and then the slippage....

A question I could happily die never knowing the answer

CiDeRmAn

Oh, don't you know you'll find out someday, regardless...
Atavan can go as a head crab... Gotta Catch Em All!
