Set 1 or Set 2, thought best to ask. Never played this one, but i really like time pilot:)

 

Yeah as in the title Set 1 or tp84( the rom listed ) remember to change your dips, I think the only one from default is the extra men 40k and 80k.

(as per Twin Galaxies rules)

I have only a few games before just played a couple then, seems to be a good game follows a fair bit of the TimePilot theme, a lot more different(harder) types of enemies to contend with though.

Made it to stage 5 first game, will get into this one a bit :)

Have you had a game yet? Not one for the keyboard IMO, I really need to setup a desktop joystick for these cold nights.

Playing with the keyboard is HELL!!!!

 

Have to go outside in the cold to play this one.

 

600 points for the first man is good, right?

 

I have been looking everywhere for my gamepad and can't find the damn thing:realmad: so had to head to the garage for a few games.

Seriously thinking about moving one of the cabs upstairs for winter:115:

$85.00 doesn't seem to bad, think I have seen similar from somewhere else for cheaper though :unsure

Did you sneak into my house to take that pic DK??? That is exactly how I have my two sticks set up, same colour & make. Picked the black one up for $60 on e-bay & got the white one from Ozstick for $110 + P&H with a Sanwa Joy (normally $85 with standard joy).

 

Don't mind TP84, will put a few hours into it me thinks.

 

Given I forgot to post a score for the wondefull last game ( :realmad: ) I'll get in early this week. Plenty of improvement left but liking it so far.

Wow, got in the zone tonight. Managed to get to a stage where I was getting 110K+ on the 1st 2 levels every time & then from 4th level onwards just stuck to the lunar scape part too avoid to many badies.

 

Good game but prefer the original due to nostalgic ties...

Your not lazy man, iv'e seen your pins! But yes, that stick set up looks good for the games. Can you select 4/8 way, or is that asking too much:laugh: Ramere, you may be able to answer this question for me:)

Not that I'm aware of mate, there is a disk that came with that may include instructions on how to do something like that but I haven't bothered looking at it, just plugged & played.... Might e-mail Ozstick & ask him...

Cheers Ace, it might be a hardware solution, maybe the DavidAVD switch might work:unsure

guys talking of joysticks would 3 buttons be enough??

 

4-8 way selector inbuilt to the joystick

 

im considering rigging up a mini encoder ive got and having a go at this

 

all the games seem to take no more than 2-3 buttons anyways

Most games yes, unless its Defender or something like that( which we don't play often).

Mostly 4/8 way and 1 or 2 buttons Narf, see what you can do?

Was going well ( thought I was going to beat Ramere's first score ) till more than one type of silver enemy started appearing on the same screen (Stage 7 or 8).

The silver enemies are the tricky part as they all have different styles of movement ( a bit like bombjack :laugh:)

I like the flow/control of the game.

Too much World Cup + Wimbledon this week....so sleeeepy and haven't played at all yet :boring:

 

Loved the original Time Pilot. Would like to play it in a cocktail form factor, think it suits that well. Does the sequel live up to the original ?

 

There's a trivia question: Name an Arcade game sequel that's better than the original. Could be tough..

Hey yeah, was never into the Arcade fighters myself but I guess the sheer numbers of sequels like Mortal Kombat, KOF, SF, series etc do get better and better as they go. The only fighting games I played much were on consoles ie Tekken series on the PS1 and Killer Instinct on the SNES (Go Jago/Orchid), great party games when you had a crowd around your place :D

I just keep going around in circles until I smash into something. There gets to a point where there's just way too much going on for me to concentrate. I also spent the last week playing Mario on the DS so that could explain it.

Not a bad game, but way to much going on for me, in a bad way:( This has nothing on the fun factor of the original Time Pilot. Seems to me they have made a great game into a good game with unnecessary stress:) Still, i'm enjoying being whupped by it:laugh:
