    If you don't dress up like that again on your stag it's the missed opportunity of the century. 😂

    Who'd have thought Araknoid 2 would be what pushed this forum into debauched chaos. 😂

    It's clearly the lack of spinners.

    Good grief that is way more bdisturbing .

    Its the 5 o'clock shadow in the original pic that really cracks me up.

    Like ryu when they released sf2 championship edition where they added 5 o'clock shadow to him .😂.

    Another few credits with the oul bat and ball.

    it's kinda calming and therapeutic I find . Don't know why.

    Got to level 5, but only marginally better score than when I got to level 3.

    Got two quality power ups I never got before ...one where 3 balls appear...then every time ya hit just one of the balls it spreads to 3 again .Another was an auto fire big fat Lazer kinda like Raiden ( not the button press Lazer power up)

    Where the hell is me spinner . I'm desperate

    This game is a hoor of a thing if playing on an analog joystick like the one on my RP5.

    I can't even get through the first line of blocks in the first level. And forget about getting the power ups, I die each time I try get one.

    Definitely better suited to a mouse or spinner.

    Im actually getting used to it now on an arcade stick . Just need to be constantly moving are your fecked .

    I hope my spinner comes this week so I can get ultimate control , I've never tried one , any arkanoid cab I've played in the wild always just had a stick.

    It just came to my mind though ..since arkanoid had an analogue spinner back in the day and other cabs also and trackballs like rampart and defender why did it take about 20 years for an analogue stick to be invented for games ?

    The D-pad on the RP5 seems to react faster than the thumbstick I'm finding so I'm doing better with that but it's still frustrating.

    I may have to have a frustration w4nk myself and go back to our lovely girl R3tr0 on page 3, just like the tabloid newspapers back in the day!

    Ohhh yeah ...had a golden run. I can't believe it .Everything went my way! Got some nice levels , mostly picked left level warp .

    I had been mostly picking right warp previously and hit some stinker levels.

    I wish I had taken note what I picked ..because around the last 4/5 levels before I died were easy

    Feck you spinner, I'm doing grand with stick

    I had that a bunch of times..but it's been stage 3. I got some serious RNG ...extra life power up ..then extra life for score straight after that , then 50 balls and automatic warp .

    Give me an R.

    Give me a N

    Give me a G.

    Actually @Retr0gamer any chance you could.slip into a cheer leader number for your next photoshoot

    It took me good few credits and I realized on the first level . On the bat the ball hit bang on centre of bat you can basically stay there and only have to move minimally.

    Ya probably all know that but I only cooped it . on a lucky run ya can just sit there as the ball goes up and back down 5+ times with out moving . Then the powers that be decide that's enough of that malarky and your old ball goes off in a mad direction as usual

    Gave this a few goes yesterday and struggled to reach the second stage. Just isn't happening for me. Really enjoyed it though even if a mouse is no replacement for a spinner.

    I'm at a gig tonight so I guess in out.

    How about about another vertical shmup? That seemed to get nice and competitive!
