Never played root beer tapper, whats it about?
http://www.diablohead.co.uk/gallery/albums/userpics/10003/HDpong.gifUno Ill Nino said:*sigh* Whatever. At least the flow of games has finally started. I have the feeling ****ing SOTN will be the LAST of the 10 games to come out though. Its really the only one I care about.
I'm tired of these Atari 5200 games coming out though. Root Beer Tapper can suck my nuts. Maybe Pong will be the next big thing to hit XBLA?
Also worth noting - some new Xbox Live Arcade reviews in the March 2007 issue were for unreleased XBLA games, including Worms getting 7.5, with the slightly worrying comment: "Was it purposely truncated to allow downloadable content?", since it's missing stalwart weapons including the Holy Hand Grenade, Root Beer Tapper getting 6.0 with "good time-killer", and the Big Huge Games-developed Catan being "A truly unique Live experience", and getting 8.0

speculawyer said:You ever get the feeling that they have intentionally not made Midway Arcade Treasures 1 not work in backwards compatibility mode? Grrrr.
SHOTEH FOCK OP said:I hope they don't have a hand in Symphony of the Night.
beermonkey@tehbias said:Nah, because they did make the Namco Anniversary discs work.
beermonkey@tehbias said:Heh, you are going to be upset. I never understand all the DE hate, most of their ports/emulations are pretty damned good.
speculawyer said:I don't hate DE . . . I think they did a good job on the ports. I just hate this 'double-dipping'.
SHOTEH FOCK OP said:For me, there is such a stark contrast to how Namco presents their arcade classics, and how Konami and Midway have been doing it.
Especially for HDTV owners, the hi-def artwork on the borders, the cute electronic manuals, the Namco games just feel more "complete." Like a definitive version.
The Konami and Midway stuff feels cheap and rushed.
Hitler Stole My Potato said:The best part of Root Beer Tapper being available this week is that there was a 2 or 3 week XBLA hiatus just before it. Beautiful. At this rate we won't be done with all this retro bullshit until 2023.

I mean, i'll be sure the XBLA team gets around to certifying Professor Pac Man first, just for you my friend.
arne said:Actually, I can't speak for all of the retro titles on deck, but I know the XBLA team has started working with the devs of these titles to do exactly what it is you like. They've noticed folks tend to like the presentation that Namco did. I know SOTN is one title that does this.
