But this video clip is enough to get me started on that MAME cocktail cabinet with dual controllers I've been drawing plans for.stexehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878333751031091867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11699317.post-42365197332756742432007-11-19T23:29:00.000-05:002007-11-19T23:29:00.000-05:00Playing solo, the typical game (for me) lasts abou...Playing solo, the typical game (for me) lasts about 6 levels or 5 minutes. With two people, it's probably shorter. My friend Steve had a <A HREF="http://gamingmuseum.classicgaming.gamespy.com/bally.html" REL="nofollow">Bally's Astrocade</A>, and it ran a version of Wizard of Wor which seemed identical to the arcade version.

Is "wizard of wor" any fun at all with one player? Two-player mode is filled with thrills (back-to-back firepower) and spills (accidentaly shooting your teammate, elliciting a punch in the shoulder and a "dude, what's your fuckin' problem?" from the deceased). <BR/>And I almost forgot about that stupid "bishop of battle" story from that bad anthology movie. But at least it introduced me to black flag.stexehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12878333751031091867noreply@blogger.com
