GBA/Shmup fans, please read this recent post: rfgeneration.com/blogs/noiseredux

The Pinball of the Dead is a pinball video game created by Sega, for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. It is based on Sega's The House of the Dead series of light gun games, particularly in The House of the Dead 2 version. It contains three tables, a "Challenge" mode based on the storyline of The House of the Dead 2, and a "Free Play" mode for playing whichever table you like. The bonuses on the tables involve such things as whacking zombies with the ball, collecting the letters of "House", and using the ball to defeat the bosses from The House of the Dead 2.

....this game is amazing.

:) :) :) :)

You have the blood set on RED, right?

fucking first thing I did. Well second thing, after deleting previous users records.

The Great Vasel Bridge was taken by the Empire. It's a key strategic position.

I think I'm gonna cave in and pick up a Gameboy Player today. They're only $10 at GameStop. What a steal.

Right, so I just wanted to share my pain. I've spent pretty much the whole of the last week beasting through Arkham Asylum for the second time, to get 100% on hard. There's an awful lot to do. We're probably talking like 20-30 hours of my life here. So I get to the very end, as in literally I complete the final challenge with the 3 bat rating, meaning I've got that 100%. I feel fulfilled, although slightly like I've just wasted a lot of myself. I wait for it to save, go back to log in screen to see that gratifying 100% sign by my profile, and... 'Corrupted Save!'. Completely gone. Not possible to get any of that back. I think the exclamation point was an unnecessary touch, frankly. Ugh.

yr out of yr mind if you don't have one. I have TWO!

you must be intensely sane.

Still amazing after all these years. Haven't played it since I was like seven. It's been fun to play through again because I'd forgotten some of the solutions. And I never really ever actually solved the library slab puzzle, I always just winged that one. Really finally figured it out now this time, cool puzzle. Follows the movie roughly, covering all the right locations and plot flow, but other parts are totally omitted, so it can't be helped. The fighting bit is cool, but I kind of don't like it either as if you screw up at certain points you can make the game roughly impossible to win. But it's a hilarious game with great jokes, a good Sam and Max appearance and great visuals and puzzles. And that's ridiculous in itself considering it's about middle tier for Lucasarts adventure games.

huh?

guys, seriously -- you CAN NOT LINK FROM MOBYGAMES. They kill yr link. So then we dont know what yr playing.

it's true.

OH YEAH, TOUGH GUY?

You got yourself one of theeeese, MR. TOUGH GUY?



My newly acquired, limited edition, 1994, Super Metroid collector's pin > yr soul.

haha nice.

I have a couple Zelda soundtracks though.

I purchased an adult Link action figure once during the Ocarina of Time era.

This same exact one here, actually -





I couldn't help but open it up and "play" with it as a kid. I remember it's limbs not moving around too well, probably because it was intended to be a collector's item rather than a child's toy. I first lost the Master Sword, then the Hylian shield, and then Link altogether.

Opening it up, and playing with it was easily one of the dumbest decisions of my life.

PS: By the way, I actually did go out and buy that Gameboy Player. I can already see why you fell in love with this thing, my cousin had one.. but I never got to really play around with it. Everything is so large, and vivid - it's like seeing your favorite GB/GBC/GBA games for the first time! Not to mention, I consider the Gamecube controller to be the most comfortable controller ever.

What settings do you like running this bad boy on?

Right now I have the screen filter on Sharp, the screen on full, and the frame on No. 20. Plain, dull black looks best to me. I wonder if I'll ever have an urge to change it up.

I use the plain grey frame. But same thing.

Yes. The GBPlayer rules. It's the best console ever. It's just tons and tons and TONS of 8 and 16-bit awesome-ness.

Why not just say that the Gamecube is the best console ever? Is the GB player the only thing you ever play on it?

totaly hooked! thanks dos box.
