Quick Look: Game Room for 07/14/10

Oh, I just realised why Jeff didn't really notice the red blip while playing Hover Force... hellloooo, colourblindness!

" I love how every quick look, someone misses some totally obvious piece of visual information like the GIANT RED DOT FLASHING ON THE MAP. "

Nothing can fix Broken Guy

Real arcades really showed the importance of a solid infinity frames per second.

Also, hell yea the deeper you go the more points you get! BOOM!

DAAMMMNN MY EARS ARE BROKE!!!

" Argh, the sound effects on Quadrun... "

That noise left my brain all smushed :(

Thanks for these videos

Mr. Gatti's is a chain.

Man, that red dot on a green background makes me feel sympathetic for the colorblind.

" They should have canceled Game Room, not 1 v. 100. "

Still torn about GR. Really want to like it, but it's just like Brad said - you really have to wonder what's going to happen to it in the long run. It looked shaky coming out of the gate, but I want to support anything that gives players proper re-releases of old games. So I bought three games but said I wouldn't buy anything more until GR showed some more signs of life. The update this week prompted me to buy Gyruss (which is pretty decent, really). But now I'm kind of at a point where if I spend any more $$ I would be kinda pissed if it doesn't end up going anywhere. If they would just get more publishers on board it would prompt me to support it a little more -- even go back and buy some already released stuff.
 
Anyway, thanks for the QLs on these games.

hey now... hoverforce looks pretty cool to me

oh god that humming sound in quadrun is fucking INVADING MY SKULL.
 
that's some pro fishing there. "GET ON!!!!" lmao.

Gyruss is the shit! 
 
Intellivision is a load of shit!

" Game room still disappoints me. "

Quadrun made my ears bleed.

Hover Force kicks ass

Mr. Gatti is still a threat down here in Austin, TX

Colorblindness is a bitch son.  

lol I love the over enthusiastic clapping from the avatars.

Will Jeff run out of Game Room space? tune in next week to find out!

GR has a lot potential. I hope they realise some of it. Would love it if they can port some C64 and Amiga games. What do you think the chances of that might be?

ahhhh.......had the cocktail Gyruss in my old showroom in NYC....should of donated that to you guys!!!

Mr. Gatti's had pretty mediocre pizza, but I do remember the gigantic TVs and modest collection of arcade games. I think there might still be one fairly close to me, though I haven't been over that way in a couple of years now, so perhaps not.

arcade is so fail

Colorblindness is a bitch son. I wish Kevin Van Ord would visit my game room...

with the acquisition he just might!

Pretty badass historical reference to Hatfields and McCoys by Brad, well before they even considered making that TV show!

You can really tell they are becoming more and more skeptical of the gameroom each consecutive video. ;-)

99 Problems but a Fish ain't One.

Hover Force is legitimately impressive.
