More game moom!
" Haha.. This is hilarious! boom-boom-boom. boom-boom-boom. boom-boom-boom. "I think you mean Boom Boom Pow. :)
I suppose the great stuff from last week had to be offset by the garbage, although Black Widow was a pretty good game back then, sort of a mix of Tempest and Robotron.
There is no pattern for extra lives in that game, one could cost 10,000 and the next could be 1,000... that's pretty much all I got out of this quick look.
While the lasers were pretty hypnotic, watching Jeff crash non stop in biplanes was hilarious.

Oh my god, someone got 500k on that? Dude, that's hardcore. I took a hint from Brad and just relaxed in my chair during that part. The biplane thing was hilarious, I love these Quick Looks.
Another one! GOD YES ANOTHER ONE!
Oh man, first Motocross making me die of laughter, and then triple action...
I can't believe I just spent 20 minutes watching two guys play Laser Blast while talking about a game I don't care about. I also can't believe that I was entertained by it.
Wow thank god for the MK discussion during Lazer blast or else I would've fallen asleep.
I had a girlfriend who was really into triple action... I say girlfriend she was really more just some girl a knew. Who liked triple action. Three ways of action, that was her thing.
" Black Widow looks an awful lot like Geometry Wars. Or should I say, Geometry Wars looks an awful lot like Black Widow. "I was more thinking it looked like Tempest and played like Geometry Wars.
Man, I played so much C64 HERO as a kid. Such a clever game, where everything from concept to art to gameplay all just came together perfectly.
They need to release Beamrider, though. Best Activision game ever. Well, it was on the C64 - I'm not too sure how any other version holds up.
P.S. I think that brown water is supposed to be lava, Brad. The game's set in a mine that's been effed up by volcanic activity. Pffft. You'd know this if you'd read my HERO fan fiction.
This, or I can get 80 Atari games for $5.09 on Steam right now.
I choose neither. :p
/plays more Borderlands
I wish Game Room would come out with more of a variety of games that I played in the arcade. Q*Bert, Gorf, Crazy Climber, Popeye etc. I don't know what the rights are that they would have to deal with to do something like that though.
MK is back and thats all I can think of right now, guess thats the same with Jeff and Brad. Also Brad has a great point. I'd play gameroom if it had fuckin newer arcade game like early to mid 90's games.
That was a fantastic quick look/endurance run/podcast/Mortal Kombat discussion!
Hey Jeff, I still have Ultimate MK3 on XBLA, so if you want to throwdown send me a PM and I'll give you my gamertag. Props for the Laserblast skillz (you know you're good when you have skillz with a "z" instead of an "s").
The incessant swirling around the game room at the beginning of these is kind of sickening.
MK discussion was awesome. Every gameroom quicklook should just be Brad and Jeff talking about MK for 20 minutes.
