I only saw that film once, but I think I remember that line. Cool movie.

Pulsewoman Wrote:Which level is your favourite, by the way? I really hope you can progress further on into the series so I can talk about the later ones. I know _much_ more I can say about the second, third, and fourth games, bwahaha.

Well, I've been stuck on Marble Madness (think that's the name) for a couple weeks now. The novelty of having Sonic in my phone has worn off and now it's down to game play and I am having a difficult time with it because of the controls. More because of my phone's controls and limitations there of - the game itself seems to have been programmed pretty well.

I'm having a far more difficult time on level 2 than I was on level 1. At this point, whenever I die, I loose interest in the game for a day or two before I'll touch it again. That is because I keep dying because of the hard to master controls on my phone and it is a big turn off. I want to play the game, not fight with my phone's limited control response.

I still dig it though. I'll keep playing. Not sure if I'll make it all the way on my phone though.

As far as favorite level - I never made it beyond the water lever (forget the name) - I think it is level 3 or 4. I was hoping to go past that point on my phone, but that seems unlikely unless I get a better grip on the controls.

Pulsewoman Wrote:And now...for a totally awesome remix of the Marble Zone music: Halloween comes to Mobius!

That's the music (jazzed up a bit) of the level I'm on right now. It is embedded in my mind as I can't seem to get past it!

Pulsewoman Wrote: Yeah, that's the Marble Zone music (more _slowed down_ than "jazzed up", but I know what you mean)...a level that does drive me a bit nuts, too, and that's on the original GENESIS version with a much larger screen and normal controller.

Ahh - so it's a difficult level, period, huh? Although I seem to remember making it through it ok back in the early 90's. Hmm.

I'll get through it one of these days and see how far I get in the game.

I seriously wish I could plug in a controller and play like that, but they don't make them for my phone. order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

They might, but I wouldn't buy one. The allure for me about games on the cell phone is the fact that it's small and portable.

Add a big bulky controller and it becomes all fumbly and cumersome

I haven't played Sonic much lately. I can't get passed level 2 because the controls are a bit tricky for me in this part of the game. It's been weeks since I played it. Like I said before - they did a fine job porting it to the mobile phone, but I really can't play it very good with the phone's controls.

Today I broke down and purchased Ridge Racer 3D for my phone. I'm not a big racing game fan (as in I would not likely buy one for a console), but I do enjoy a good racing game from time to time. The game looked pretty good for a phone game and I read some decent reviews about it.

The graphics are very good (considering it's a phone game) and it runs as smooth as silk... whatever "running as smooth as silk" might mean. Seriously, the frame rate is excellent - don't let that crappy animated GIF on the linked page fool you.

The game has an auto-accelerate feature and allows you to choose manual acceleration if you want. There's also an automatic transmission and manual. I leave it on auto-everything so all I have to do is steer and break (to slow down at times).

The simple controls allow for good game play, in terms of I can easily control the game without my fingers loosing their position on the directional pad (like in Sonic and Ms. Pacman).

The game is a very straight forward racing game - no weapons, upgrades - nothing fancy. It's just a racing game with a few cars to choose from, a few tracks and a few unlockable extra tracks. In that respect, the game is a lot of fun and hits the mark perfectly. It's awesome for killing 5 minutes or so in a race or two. That's usually about how much time I have for mobile gaming too - just a few minutes here or there, so what a perfect fit.

If you're in to racing games and don't need to be able to blow up stuff and upgrade and customize everything under the sun - this is a very satisfying game.

Oh - I kind of had a moment when playing the game the first time. This game has better graphics and looks prettier than anything I saw on my SNES just a few years back.. ok, 15 or so years, but it seems like yesterday. I'd say it's actually of PSX or N64 graphics quality (considering the size of it). All that, in my little phone. It just kind of made me think of where we were (technology-wise) just a few years ago. This is nothing compared to what a PSP game can do, but again - this is just a simple phone, or as I like to call it - my communicator.

Kyocera did one a year or two back for their phones. Didn't catch on.

TheReelTodd Wrote: In fact, if you're looking for something that's classic 80's arcade and close enough to the original to be enjoyable, I'd say go back and read my Centipede review.

Hey Todd, glad my review helped you, although I really wish it were more positive. How cool would it have been to have that "bahmp baah, bahmp baah" and smashing asteroid sound coming from your phone?!

As for Centipede... I never actually liked that game in the arcade. It was a bigger quarter eater for me than Defender, so I shied away from it. I liked Millipede better when that came out. But I'm glad you like it.

I poke around from time to time, looking for games that would be easy to play on my phone, which means it can't rely on split-second timing and frequent need for moving in all 4 directions because my phone d-pad isn't very good for that.

I have the same problem on my PSP with the Namco Museum. The analog stick and D-Pad do not react quick enough... so ol' Pac Man or Dig Dug keeps on going when you meant to go right or left or whatever. It's very frustrating.

Not sure what I'll get next, though I do have my eye on another 3D game that's gotten decent reviews and should be easy to enjoy given the constraints of my phone d-pad.

I've been eyeballing Burgertime, like Nikster suggested. I should have gotten that instead of Asteroids. But hindsight is 20/20

You know what I wish for?! Homebrew apps on our cell phones so we can run emulators... like MAME. I hear the i-Phone can do it. But oi! what a cost!

Yeah, we have the same one. Mine was free, so I'm relatively happy with it. I was told initially that you had to use THEIR software to convert music files, but that isn't true. The phone will play MP3's just fine. I got a 1GB card for it and can store lots of music and photos. One thing I don't like is the smaller size jack for the headphones. The headphones it came with are the "earbud" type.. which I hate... but they actually are pretty good earphones. The movies taken from the phone suck. But the photos taken on the highest resolution are actually not that bad. I'd rate the phone probably a C+ or B-

I had Galaga on my last phone - it played well, considering that phone was weak when it came to processing power.

I have it now. It's actually not bad, if you play it with two hands. I'd actually recommend getting it.
