Yeah, I should have mentioned that as the only one I could identify.

Specifically, Nazareth's 1980 classic "Holiday". I'm assuming most of these games were British-specific or even some sort of mockup for the video. Can anyone ID any of the games, especially the bank of games at the beginning of the video.

I like your idea, Marco. Timed games would be a very good idea. The only game I can think of with an actual clock on screen is Centipede - timed version. That was a lot of fun to compete on that title as it presented a more aggressive approach to playing. Exactly how to go about running a timed game...

Eyes can be abused a lot in terms of leeching. I like the seed of the idea with limiting one game to marathon standards yet treating the clones as limited men/time style games. Needs more discussion as players will hopefully reveal the good and bad of any given game being limited.

Thanks! That was around 1979. Those were the days....

I'm in. Get a load of the old picture!

Good stuff good stuff! Keeping up with the current theme..... http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=XC73PHdQX04 I can't figure out whether it's Mescaline or mushrooms that these guys were playing around with.

OK. Silly idea. But while watching my 2 year old hammer away at the 5 key ringing up credits just to watch the numbers change on various MAME games it made me wonder. What game allows the greatest number of credits? I know some games are very stingy with how much you can have, but others seemingly h...

Pretty sad when a group of fish seemed to have a better game plan than the US team...

Perhaps moving the ball back a bit in order to give the goalie at least a chance? There surely must be a way to make it even more exciting than it is. I think NOT, for sure! 8) And like AL said: "No matter what you may think, it IS exciting. " Let me get this right. Giving the kicker an a...

Yes, lucky is involved... but who said penalty kicks does not require SKILL??? Bah! E VIVA O FUTEBOL :D I never said it didn't require skill. But, the matchup is so one-sided that it's not a very good way to display the skills of BOTH kicker and goalie. Perhaps moving the ball back a bit in order t...

Like Steven Colbert said, it's like having the NBA finals decided with a game of horse. Perhaps if the overtime keeps going they could add 2 substitutions so the players stay fresh. You could also drop the amount of players to 9 on each side to open up the game a bit more. Not bad suggestions. I ha...

Honestly, this ending to the ultimate match is just one of the reasons a lot of us in the US cannot embrace the sport. It features some of the finest athletes on the face of the planet. But, why would you want a match of this magnitude to end merely on a series of free kicks where the element of luc...

To be honest I don't really understand where you are coming from. There are not many people that actually take the time to learn a song from a game, the one I said that was good was from the perspective of someone who appreciates recordings of music from games and in comparison to a lot of other re...
