Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
Hi guys.

I'm John, but most people call me chiz. I'm an old man (40) and have been in the video game shooty business for over 30 years. I made a few games on the Amiga in 1995-6 and got them published in magazines (sokoban - Amiga Power), (Plat-Man - The One - Amiga), (Boondar - The One - Amiga).

These days I'm a web developer, but I'm sick of paying £40 for a game that lasts 20 hours, then it has no replay value. I'll stick to playing the classics, like Bomb Jack, Space Harrier etc.

I'm a friendly chap, and happy to challenge anyone at any retro game for a high score - for a laugh.

This is the site I've been waiting on for years. The high score thing is utter genius.

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
Welcome to RU. How did you find us?

Btw we do have Amiga games here but I didn't see exact matches for the ones you said you made(that's pretty interesting btw). Are these two what you're talking about?

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Boondar Aga

Retro Uprising - Arcade - Soko

Oh and I'm old too. Not quite as old as you but I'm old enough that young people call me sir.

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
That's cool, glad at least one of them is on the site. I'm not sure if the others will ever make it on here but it's probably not out of the question considering the circumstances.

If you're interested we have a ton of Amiga games online atm but they aren't completely done being tested. Here's a link to the games and the forum topic about it's status-

Retro Uprising - Arcade

http://retrouprising.com/video-games...-status/t9170/

Let us know if you have any questions or comments. Welcome aboard.

It's probably the beard that evokes that reaction; if you wore some glasses and a collared shirt you could pass as a professor or something.

Since this seems to be a meeting of old men talking about how old they are {yeah I'm a grey hair too}, here's a rediscovered gem I recently came across; maybe you'll remember it?

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
You guys are really too fixated on my temporary beard look. Most of the time I actually look like the lead singer from System of a Down-

But not as cool.

Also I never played or heard of that game. Maybe I played it and forgot but I'm not into those gametypes anyways really.

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
It's mostly beard envy on my part.
Take it as a compliment.

I know Moon Cresta probably isn't as well known as some of the other games of its era such as Radar Scope or Sea Wolf but there's just something about the mid to late 70's games - I think it may have to do with the early sound effects.
I never heard stuff like that before, except perhaps on the bridge of the Enterprise on Star Trek.

The sudden realization you'd been doing something wrong without knowing it, then hoping it's not too late to fix it.

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
Moon Cresta was more popular in our neck of the woods than Radar Scope Joe. In fact I don't think I've ever seen a Radar Scope machine. Didn't play it till MAME.

We had a Moon Cresta machine in our local chippy. Brilliant game, but I always seemed to be left with the crappy little single shooter ship.

Re: Hello, my name is John and I'm a retroholic
Local chippy with a Classic game - Oh the memories! Many an occasion I went hungry to feed my gaming habit. I loved Moon Cresta too way back when. Very distinctive sound Fx, but a bit of a coin guzzler. Completely forgot about it until I stumbled across it by accident on here about 6 months ago. Couldn't put a dent in Woolly Linnet's top score though.
