    Ok, Zombie Wranglers, sure. 800MS points. Arkanoid? Space Invaders? 400 tops.


    Give me a break.

    @Slothboy: yeah you probably wouldn't say that if you'd actually played space invaders extreme. it's not just space invaders, you know. it's not like they just slapped the 1978 original up there and called it a day.


    :(

    @Slothboy:


    Space Invaders Extreme is not 'Space Invaders' as you're implying.


    Go watch some youtubes, its a pretty trippy game.

    @Kommissar Kayce: Yep, it's more akin to Galaga Legions, though the Space Invaders update plays more like the original game than Legions did for its source. Both are really excellent arcade games and sit well with the better classic remakes such as Pac-Man C.E.

    Space Invaders Extreme is an...extremely good game. Hopefully Llamasoft didn't ruin it.

    @Ueziel: As long as Minter hasn't crossed into Space Giraffe land, it should be fine. Llamasoft has a great track record. I still believe that people including myself would be more tolerate of Space Giraffe if the visual effects weren't so blinding and distracting.

    @Kobun: people: let's not talk about this game as if llamasoft actually made it.


    they worked on the backgrounds -- that's it.


    you can turn the backgrounds off, if you want.


    for god's sake.

    @tim rogers: I believe everyone here understands that already. Llamasoft's working on the backgrounds alone is still a valid cause for concern given how overly trippy and distracting the background effects are in Space Giraffe.

    How do they expect you to play Arkanoid without the spinner? I feel bad for people that experience Arkanoid with one.

    @voltron88x: They'll play it the same way they do Tempest. A decent analog stick configuration makes the loss of a spinner not as big a deal. The only game I've found which really suffered from spinner-to-analog stick control and made completely unplayable is Kaboom! on the Activision Anthology.
