Why Robin Makes Batman Better While researching my feature, When The Best Part of The Beach Is The Arcade, I discovered California Extreme — an annual arcade and pinball gaming showcase in California.
What do you think of when you imagine going to the beach on a hot summer day? Sunblock, towels, bikinis maybe? Not me. I think about Galaga.
Namco Bandai should, over the next few days, be releasing an iPhone version of classic shooter Galaga. Hurray?
Did Galaga save the life of actor Alec Baldwin? A new book, Moments of Clarity, about addiction points to Baldwin’s own struggles with substance abuse, bouts of which he came down from with arcade games.
With the MAME project ported to just about every platform under the sun—Dreamcast, Amiga, PocketPCs, digital cameras, mobile phones—it was only a matter of time until someone ported the emulator to the iPhone albeit currently unplayable. I’m actually surprised it took this long—the thing has been out for almost two whole months already.
Are you into water sports? Do you like playing with fuzzy little balls? Do you enjoy…shooting aliens? I almost had a sexual innuendo triple play going if Nintendo hadn’t included the TurboGrafx 16 version of Galaga ’88, craftily retitled Galaga ’90 (600 Points) to this week’s Virtual Console update. Always ruining my fun. Joining its sexually ambiguous brother in arms this week is The Adventures of Lolo for the NES (500 points), which sees Lolo trying to rescue Princess Lala from the Great Devil, whose evil influence obviously led to the country of Eden’s naming policy. Lolo, a small, fuzzy blue ball, must navigate a series of mazes to save his princess and indeed, the world. Need a little less pomp for double the price? N64 hit Wave Race 64 (1000 points) splashes its way onto the VC this week. It’s the jet ski game so good that it inspired DOA creator Tomonobu Itagaki to include the sport in DOA Xtreme 2, and he hates everything. A nice little crop of games that should have you playing with your Wii all night long.
