E3 recently ended with its huge spectacular gaming frenzy, booth babes, and weird strange controllers deal2.gif

I am sure most of you can can find all the E3 news and announcements for yourself. Such as Portal 2, and Mafia 2 (Damn that looks so fine)..

But a great little thing happens around E3, and that is a nice influx of free indie games trying to get exposure a013.gif

So check out this website, watch the video and maybe you will find your self a little indie gem drinks.gif

Excellent video, Falcore! drinks.gif

Some very interesting games in there, and it's made me recall how much I used to love the 2D scrolling shooters -- the ones where you fly your little airplane for hours on end whilst you pick up powerups and battle a growing armada of resistance. Games where you can keep the fire button pressed and it'll stream bullets to infinity. That's what many shooters are lacking today: realism begone, give us a chaingun with unlimited ammo like in DooM1 and let us kick alien butt like there's no tomorrow!

Sorry if I sounded a bit like the Duke there for a minute ShutUp.gif

Strangely missing are the pinball games; those used to be big in the 80s & 90s, but you don't see them anymore nowadays? devil read.gif

May I suggest if you have a SNES emulator you get the game U.N. Squadron best type of that game ever made a013.gif I heard a rumor that it might have been released by a certain member of this website who is capable of reseeding it if it is dead ShutUp.gif

I would suggest Microsoft pinball arcade, its a little older and does not have that many machines. But it is one of the best pinball packages ever made. If you can find a copy somewhere a013.gif

Cheerioz, Falcore -- will try to get that SNES pack and the pinball one drinks.gif

Sometimes the smaller games are just better at quenching a gaming thirst than the full 3D bells and whistles games

Yeah, seeing those pinball tables made me remember that I played them quite a lot before -- though perhaps in a MAME emulator instead - I'm not sure if that's possible?

I'm hooked on UN Squadron now a013.gif But it seems a very tough game even on 'easy' blush2.gif Maybe the clockspeed is set too high or so angel.gif
