Daniel P Bone Questions

[Kong]

You need to make a choice.

Do you want to ask questions about Retro Uprising on answers.yahoo or do you want to be able to play games on Retro Uprising and ask your questions here. You can not do both.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

To Kong:
I will choose, I want to be able to play games on Retro Uprising and ask my questions here.

I didn't get a response after my last question on Page 3 of quick reply, then I was typed my question on page 1.
This is my opionion, should they make all the coin-op games this way? - As the better you are, the longer the game last with just one credit; and no matter what you do in the game, and if you don't get or shoot anything (and if you don't conquer anything), you'll lose a guy or the game will soon just be over, then you have to put in another credit to play.

[Kong]

I don't know. But I don't care if you ask that type of question on answers.yahoo because it does not mention Retro Uprising.

All of your questions on that site about us look like we are spammers. That is why I want you to stop doing it. I don't care if you ask random game questions like this elsewhere.

Do you get the difference and the reason?

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Kong,
I think I kind of getting the differents or/and the reason, maybe not absolutely.
Should I give you examples of different questions, but these will be full questions, & then you tell me which of these questions that I can type to answers.yahoo or other answer websites, & which of others that not to type in these answer sites, but only type it in here; or will it be any question(s) that just have the word: "Retro Uprising" in it, that I do not type that into any of answer sites?

[Kong]

Just if it has the words Retro Uprising in it.

On this site, I tried the Slither game in Coleco Vision - does this game works only with a trackball and buttons?
To play this game, I can shoot with the z & x keys, but when I tried to move the guy, I tried the arrow keys and tried the mouse too and I'm not able to move the guy with any of these, then I went over to "Input devices" - I see keyboard or joystick, and I didn't find anything to set it to mouse control to move the guy - is there any other controls I have to use that's in the mouse or the keyboard, or do I have to get/buy an extra controller with a trackball & buttons?
And see if that additional controller can have a cord to hook it to the computer or LapTop?

[Kong]

After the game starts press Shift + F5. The game will reset. Then press Tab. Select Categories. Change Extra Controller to Roller Controller. Use mouse. The mouse will move slow.

I was got the ColecoVision Slither game working, but now I can't get it to work. I think it would able to work if I click "arcadeOX Full Mode" - but now it says that is not supported in this game. But was the "arcadeOX Full Mode" supported in the ColecoVision Slither game before? Do you know what might be the problem, or should I try this game at the library instead?
And when I clicked on "arcadeOX Score Mode" I got this message: Error, Game did not Load.

I saw that just out all the other ColecoVision games have the "arcadeOX Full Mode" here.

I tried the procedure (steps) that you gave me to use on the Game Error Message - I tried both of the keywords to the Run Prompt & one of'em is not working, then I tried loading the ColecoVision Slither game from ArcadeOX Score Mode again - and I see that's the only one that's available right now, then it says "Threats Found", as I still got the same Game Error Message.

---------- Post added at 01:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

Now I'm able to play it on my other LapTop, but just with Score Mode, not Full mode.

[Kong]

It says ArcadeOX Full Mode is not supported in this game because this game does not work in Full Mode. There is nothing you can do about that.

The coleco version of Slither doesn't work very well at all. You are better off playing the Arcade version - Slither » Coin Op

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Kong,
On Coleco version Slither, I use the reverse mode for rollar ball (Vertical),& I set the analog speed to faster on both of them to see if that make the move any better, guess it's not moving any faster.
Can you get more bonus guys on Coleco version of Slither, or give only one bonus guy, just like how Pac Man give only one bonus guy throughout the whole game?
and then I play the Slither in Arcade mode: (I can set to easy, faster bonus guys and start with more guys, can get more bonus guys)- the one you put out for me to play; And is the Arcade Slither much better than the Coleco Slither?
And I probably like the Coin-op Arcade games about the best out of all other systems; and that some of the other systems besides the Coin-op, is not able to work on my home LapTop, don't know if any/all of these will work on home computer (If it's not the Mac Desktop, but the Windows (95/XP) Desktop computer if they have this computer to purchase.

[Kong]

I do not know how many bonus guys you can receive in Slither.
Yes, the Arcade Slither is much better than the ColecoVision version.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

From the 2,000+ Arcade games, I see that there's so many of each vertical & Horizontal scroll shooting games, so many horizontal scroll punching & kicking game, but not that many kinds of Centipede games as with that I see Centipede, Millipede, War of the Bugs, Imago, 4 fun in 1 - Galactic Convoy, and Slither.
See if other people will agree with this when I think they should add-in more different kinds of Centipede games if there's more than 2,000 Coin-op (Arcade) games all together.
I see that almost all the Centipede games has mushrooms as the only plants for your guy to shoot them down.
And I'm thinking of another new Centipede game with other kind of plants to shoot besides just mushrooms; as it also have grass, clovers, and dandelions; with that, perhaps with many other different insects.
Can you see if they will really like to see this new Centipede game?
I will really like to see the Centipede game with other different kinds of plants to shoot, do you know if this such Centipede game does exist, so I can play this too?

[Kong]

Retro Uprising does not make games.

All of these games are at least 10 years old.

No one is making games remotely similar to Centipede anymore.

I agree that someone should be making new games like these but it probably wont happen.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Did you know about the MAME Arcade (Coin-op) games that have (about) 4,000 games altogether?
Can you list which of the Arcade games you don't have in Retro Uprising (2,150 Arcade games), that it does have in the Whole MAME Arcade (4,000 Arcade games); or will that be too many to list, or should I get a site that list all the names of 4,000 different Arcade games?

[Kong]

Here is a list of all MAME games.
Archive of every game emulated by MAME - mamedb.com
Most of the games we don't have are just duplicates.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

On All MAME Games
What category will the games like Centipede, Slither, Imago, etc., be in?

This topic is to help Daniel with his retrouprising questions so he doesn't post them on other sites. If you are not posting to help your post will be deleted. Don't feel bad though I had a post deleted in here too and I'm a site mod.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Is the Arcade game Millpac & Magic Worm probably the exact same duplicate of Centipede?

[ZedIsDead]

Mill Pac and Magic Worm are both bootleg versions of Centipede, with different graphics(for example, in Mill Pac, the enemies are Pac-Man ghosts, the mushrooms have been replaced with clovers). Unfortunately, since they are pirated, they are most likely of terrible quality and aren't worth playing.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

On Coin-op War of the Bugs, who would like that kind of bonus from Dip Switch when you have to score 500,000 just to get an extra guy on this?
To me, that will take a long time to score over to 500,000, I checked in Dip Switch, I can change it to either 500,000 or to 750,000 for bonus guy.
I would like this to be much lower than 500,000 for bonus guy, and is there no other (bonus) score any lower than 500,000, then do I just select another game?

Hi Daniel, perhaps I can help with this question.

As far as I know, War of the Bugs only has options for a bonus man at 500,000 and 750,000 points. These scores are difficult to get.

However there is a similar game (I think produced by the same company) that has dip switch options of 50,000 and 80,000 for a bonus man. This game is called "Galactic Convoy" and can be found on Retro Uprising as part of the four game compilation 4 Fun in 1 » Coin Op .

To play, click on 4 Fun in 1 , choose a play mode, wait for loading, then click space and enter. It should be much easier to get a bonus man on this version.

Hope this helps! RevJ

Having played a game or two of Galactic Convey (the first game of "4 Fun in 1") now, it appears that the bonus man is set at 50,000 at Retro Uprising. Not too hard to get!

Cheer! RevJ

Show this to Kong too:
I'm was playing coin-op game called Spiders, after I lost a guy, then it lost the sound, is there any way you can fix this sound? Or does it do the same thing on the big machine of Spiders game with sound?

[Kong]

The sound in this game sometimes disappears. There is no way for you or I to fix this.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

I see that you have "Insert Image" button here, and can I insert my drawing of any kind to "Post Quick Reply" here?
I will like to show you a drawing of a very new Centipede, Missile Command & Berzerk that I thought of ever.
