metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 One of my favourite games was that one where you played as a giant Japanese-inspired monster and destroyed cities (with multiplayer!); bonuses for eating people and penalties for grabbing electric appliances etc. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yep, s/he was the star, although presumably due to licencing the game was called "Monster Smash" or something ... cookie to anyone who can dredge up the name ...

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 It was a stand-up arcade machine (Taito, maybe?) and subsequent players (up to three players simulataneously) could play as a giant wolf-dog-thing and an oversized gorilla.

It was a fighter type thing, somewhat cool. I did some QA on it And I think you mean War of the Monsters.

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 This game hit the arcades when I was still at school, back in the eighties. Not last year. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 There was one called Rampage where you could be one of three monsters. There was also one (think it was called destroy all monters) where you could play various Japanese monsters like Mothra , Godzilla etc. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yes. In fact, that physical process (looking left and a bit up) is how the brain recalls memories. You can tell if someone is lying to you, if they don't look left, but right: which is where the brain sends the eyes when it wants to invent stuff.

Are they backward compatible (to any extent) ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The GC not at all. The new Revolution should be able to go all the way back to NES games. But will play GC games out of the box (the others you will have to download or get as a bonus item with a new game). They may start "selling" them for stars which you get with any Nintendo purchase as well. The DS is backwards compatible with the GBA.

metadigital Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 So if I buy a Revolution, then I can play Rampage? OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 So if I buy a Revolution, then I can play Rampage? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In theory yes. But the GBA version of Rampage is still commerically available. Where as the other one isnt. Actually a Game Cube and a GBA player (which you fit underneath) will allow you to play GBA games on a regular TV as well. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now.
