As a kid, my dad was a trucker, so I used to go on the road with him as a little snot before I started school. We did some long hauls all over the east coast. I remember bits and pieces, but the early 80’s was the pinnacle of american trucking. Rolling down the interstate jamming to ZZ Top and...

Gotta love road trips. What’s your longest, fellas? I’ve done Michigan to California and back. It’s 4 days each way, so 8 days round trip. Thankfully had some time in between to break it up a bit. Michigan through Nebraska is really flat and boring up until Colorado, then everything west of the...

I remember there used to be a list somewhere (maybe on the official zen forum?) that had all the original Zen tables and the real pins that they borrowed their layouts from. I think they’ve gotten much more creative with their designs since then from what what I’ve seen, and of course the extra...

I feel ya. I’ve definitely spent more time scouting and reading about games than I have playing them lately...but I guess that’s not uncommon for me, for better or worse (and here I am on a video game forum heh). But yeah, I’m always looking for the elusive holy grail of games that will scratch...

I like the last one as well. Might be slightly smooshed, but it’s got a cool look to it.

Got that one in a previous sale and played it a bit, but need to give it another chance. Star Traders Frontiers is solid as well, but turn-based combat so it’s light on action.

Yeah it just felt like the middle drains that do exist could be saved too easily, but it also definitely didn’t help that you could trap any ball simply by holding up the flipper. I always lean towards the more brutal tables in real life as they tend to get the adrenaline going more, so Zen...

Do any if the new tables have a more realistic flipper gap? That’s always been my main hitch when it comes to Zen. Made the gameplay a bit too snoozy for me, but I always liked the layouts and graphics.

Yeah I haven’t played DD2 in ages so don’t know how it holds up. Just remember how huge it was on release, even if it wasn’t better than the first. All my friends absolutely went bonkers over it.

They all have their merits, but 4 is pretty rad. Nice job dude.

Speaking of beat ‘em ups, River City Ransom is probably still one of my most played games of all time. Double Dragon 2 is up there as well. I remember discovering that you could cheese and get a ton of extra lives by setting it to 2 players and then just killing the other guy over and over since...

Double Dragon!

I had this one as a kid, a bunch of rad minigames in one: http://dorkdimension.blogspot.com/2009/08/toy-tribute-split-second-parker.html

I like it dude. Small enough to fit on your lap, but still looks rugged enough to take a proper beating. Whatcha gonna play?

Been digging around and I’m sad that there aren’t more modern open-world space games to choose from, at least that are actually solid. Seems that Elite Dangerous is probabaly the best choice, but still lacking in a lot of ways. Really a bummer that No Man’s Sky was such a flop. I’ll probably go...

Those are tasty as well.

Sweet, I’m always looking for an excuse to load up DOSbox again. yeah dude would be a blast to party up.

I’m a classic Drumstick man.

frontier? I heard kerbal was pretty fun. I guess i’m looking for something I can fly around, explore, and dog fight a bit. Everspace is supposed to be pretty good. Tried it on PS4 but really need to play with a mouse or maybe even a proper joystick since the fights are twitchy, sort of like...

Overrated? Hillarious.
