The other Arcade games

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

I have questions for Kong about the other (Coin-Op) Arcade games

[elrod21]

What do you mean by other (Coin-Op) Arcade Games? Do you mean other than Centipede type games or something else?

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Do you know if they had made any other kind of "Coin-Op" Arcade Missile Command outside of Retro Uprising?

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

I will ask "Kong" about how's it going so far on agreeing with the deal (from a while back)

What other Coin-Op Arcade games looks very much like Tempest?

Contrary to popular belief, Retro Uprising did not actually make Missile Command.

[elrod21]

Gyruss is kind of like Tempest. Not sure about Missile Command coin-op play alikes. Never was much into that game.

Cube Quest was a very obscure laserdisc game back 83/84 that used a trackball that had a lot of game play similar to Tempest.

[Slime Slayer]

The was Tempest Tubes, it was a hack that was eventually adopted by Atari.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

What other Coin-Op games are similar to Q-bert?

[elrod21]

Well there's Faster More Challenging Q-bert, and Q-bert's Cubes for starters. Jack Rabbit reminds me of Q-bert in many ways, but honestly I think most of the Q-bert clones you will find were made for home consoles.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

I found couple of (Coin-op) Arcade games to do something like math problems on.
If you like to see some other math problems, or to make up some (for you to see or do), I may have to do some in picture, and I can do it here.
I had posted some questions about doing some interesting math problems to one of other Answer Websites.
Is there anyone here that who will like to try answer any one of the math problems that I had made from an interesting math? I made them out.

I don't know if (Kong) would like me to try the other video games on different system, but I probably like the Coin-Op (Arcade) games the best, maybe even that some are too plain or a little boring/interesting.

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

Any other web pages that I can play other Centipede-like and Missile Command-like video games online that's outside of Retro Uprising - if there isn't any other new ones on Retro Uprising?

---------- Post added 01-25-2013 at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was 01-23-2013 at 09:40 PM ----------

Should I check with Kong that if I can create another (new) thread "NOW" if I'm not getting any other Reply/Replies from this thread?

[RevJ]

Hi danielpbone,

Please do NOT create new threads. If people want to reply to your questions or respond to you, they will. If you create new threads and ask the same questions you will annoy people and there is less chance they'll reply.

Sometimes people don't know the answers to your questions, or just don't want to answer. Not every post will get a reply, and that includes your posts, my posts, and everyone else's posts. Also, people are busy and might be doing other things (like playing video games!) or might just like to read the messages on the forums and not reply.

You posted some interesting pictures a while ago, I would suggest that if you have made more pictures, or have some interesting maths puzzles to share, then post them here. You might not get any, or many, replies, but there will be people who will have a look at them.

Feel free to play whatever games you like on Retro-Uprising. You don't need to ask - go for it! I also like the Coin-Op games, maybe because they are often simple. There's also LOTS of them

Did you find Jack Rabbit » Coin Op ?

Cheers! RevJ

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

I had played Jack Rabbit, but not really a fun game to play, & I'm sure there's many or maybe a lot of other Coin-op games that are much for fun to play with than just Jack Rabbit.

Now this math problems will be really different "like as challenge", should I give them out with answers, or do I can just give them out and they will answer them?

---------- Post added 01-26-2013 at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was 01-25-2013 at 08:59 PM ----------

Rev, Coin-op games are also really fun as just these gets much harder as you/I keep playing for a while - towards to like "Game Over", and see how these saves a lot of quarters as I play these games here. And in Coin-op Arcade games, I see that these games gives me continues (every games on some of them), & do you think we like it better with continues?

---------- Post added 01-27-2013 at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was 01-26-2013 at 04:29 PM ----------

I will send message to Kong, and if Kong is not here yet, when will kong be back at?

(Do you know if it will be in days/week/etc.?)

[RevJ]

Hi Daniel,

Kong is very busy. The best thing for you to do is to post any questions here. The other mods understand your agreement with Kong.

Regarding continues, I think it is good for your gaming skills to try to play without continues. But some games are so hard! So it's good to be able to play some games through to the end using continues (but you can't submit scores this way). That's what I think.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

To submit score from playing these games, do I play it in score mode?
I'll see how much time I have to play them.
Do you know how long may the other (Coin-Op Arcade) would take to finish playing, (or until all my guys/cities, etc. are gone)?

You will need to read the rules for score submissions - see Retro Uprising - FAQ . This explains the process.

The time it takes to play a game depends on which game you play as well as your skill, and can vary a lot.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

See if anyone will like to do these kinds of math problems, but I will just show you this one & these are already answered.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Which was the latest & the second latest coin-op games that was put in the Retro Uprising?
Can you give me the date for those 2 coin-op games that when it was put in the Retro Uprising?

[RevJ]

Hi danielpbone

Re the maths puzzles, I figured a couple out.... thanks

( Click to show/hide )

Q1 & Q2: Not sure about the 'N' function, but I can see the larger numbers are palindromes...
Q3:

( Click to show/hide )

5 square root 5 x 5 square root 5 = 25 x 5

Q4:

( Click to show/hide )

12345 x 12345 = ...

Re the most recently added games, I'm not sure but I don't think anything has been added since 2011. See this thread - http://www.retrouprising.com/private...esults/t14503/ - particularly where it says:

356 games added.
Click Retro Uprising - Arcade
Sort by "Added" "Descending"
First 11 and a half pages were added in 2011. That will change as more games are added.
That is For the Frog the Bell Tolls » Game Boy through Super Mario Bros: Super Mario Unlimited » Nintendo

Cheers, RevJ

Solve this classic math puzzle (I have many of these if you want to try more):

Players A and B each have a well shuffled standard pack of cards, with no jokers. The players deal their cards one at a time, from the top of the deck, checking for an exact match. Player A wins if, once the packs are fully dealt, no matches are found. Player B wins if at least one match occurs. What is the probability that player A wins?

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

FudgyDRS, later.

"Palindromes" - Correct, that's the symbol as a shape of an "N", it copies & reverse the whole entire number & places into another set of digits, am I explaining this okay?
A digit "0" that you see have dots on both sides of it along with palindromes means the 0 stays there even that it does the palindromes function.
No square root to the shape of square - 5 square 10 is 10 5's, incase if you still don't understand, it will just be this number - (5555555555)
Now I will give you some of these (new) math problems on the next Reply, I don't know if it's going to be too hard or not when I give these to you to guess the answers on.

---------- Post added at 03:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

How many of these math problems can I give you? - I won't give you too many if you do not want too many of these math problems, and any certain level of these math problems that I can give you?

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:21 PM ----------

I didn't find where there's 356 games added, can you tell me how many more coin-op games been added before the year 2011, and what are the coin-op games in list that just got added?

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

No, 2 triangle 4 is 2468642
See if you get the function on this.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

I don't know if maybe I should give you another shape (Palindromes), other than the one that's the shape of "N".
When I give you this math, maybe I should make out the number charts for you, but there might be more other shapes out there to put with numbers, that it may not all be in the chart.

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:57 PM ----------

FudgyDRS, I don't know if I very much understand the puzzle thoroughly, and what I might just put in mostly after much thinking, maybe the probability of 1/26 for Player A, but I don't know if that's the answer you meant for me to put in.

[FudgyDRS]

The answer is:

The probability player A wins is d(52) / 52! or 1 / 53!

If you actually calculated this you would find that the probability, as the number of cards increases, approaches 1/e.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

FudgyDRS, I'm not sure if I will want to do another math game from you.
Now try these 8 math problems, I would not put in that math problem if it's too hard to do, make the numbered answers short as you can by putting in solid shapes & number signs around some or every numbers. I will show you the answers that how it's done if you didn't get it exactly as how I will put it, but might be more than one way to put in the correct answer number(s) "So these numbers may not be all set to function in the calculator yet, for now, I'll do the calculation - from picture". You can think of more number signs and shapes if you like, but some might be more creative than you think as you can make these short too. We can try to figure if we can keep the triangle with the numbers on both sides even that we change one of the digit if it's the whole number of this, then I think you may just have to add in one other sign or maybe shape to the number.

Then I think you may use a calculator on this if the problem(s) are too hard or takes too long (for you), but might take multiple or many steps on doing the calculation on a calculator.

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Now here's the 8 new/inter. math problems to do:

[danielpbone@yahoo.com]

Now see what (other interesting) answers in numbers you'll come up with by try making each ones short, but maybe can't make all of them short!

[FudgyDRS]

I assume:
- square is exp
- triangle with long side down is exp
- triangle with long side up is sequence of numbers from first number to last
- +, -, X, and / are all real operators

1. -3202
2. 60466301.74
3. -53.38
4. not sure if 1 (long side up traingle) 10 is 1234567891 or 12345678910
5. 33318
6. 931322.57
7. 12345
8. 12429.9

I can't figure out the second function/operator in the example.
