If so, let me know.
If not, it's going the way of the ice truck.
All in an effort to beautify this board -
Tom.
-
I can only speak for myself, but personally I forgot it was there.
-
I left my quarters up there and forgot.
Is there a way of making them head-to-head?
-
I totally thought it was already gone.
-
Nope.
-
So I guess this means I shouldn't feel bad for never, ever realizing they were there?
-
I haven't played it since Bubble Shooter got greased.
-
I enjoyed Mah Jongg when it was working, but now it doesn't seem to.
-
I enjoy it once in a while, but it's not an important part of my life.
-
I didn't know it existed until now. Now that I do, I'd like to check it out.
-
Expletives in the subject line? Filth talk.
-
Oh sorry Tom, was nothing I did good enough for you?
-
i gotta play breakout one last time.
-
The arca-what now?
-
I can't parse this; what's that 6th word again?
-
The arcade needs some Biggest Brain and Word Challenge action.
-
Has the concept of a Best Show video game ever been discussed?
It could be set in the town of Newbridge, but some levels could be in Philly. like when you win, you get to run to the top of the Museum of Art steps.
You could choose to be PBR or Roy Jr. and have crazy adventures running from the law. You could have a level where you're PBR and you steal a dune buggy, so that becomes a car racing level.

Discussed, designed, executed, and rolled out. By Petey, Gordy and Purple Shirt.

It's a little like some of the other links on the Friends of Tom main page; fun to mull over once or twice but not a daily dose. Still interesting in a historical sense.
-
I think we need a Best Show museum (or something like it) to hold the art contest entries, stuff like that game, etc.
But yeah I never went into the arcade really...
-
The new regime extends to the website. I love it.

Woah. Very cool.
-
There are actually two games sections, one on the board and one on friendsoftom.com/arcade. I think some people on this thread are talking about one, some the other.
-
All I know is, I played that Dwarf Tossing game last night for about an hour while at work.
FUN!!!

Toilet Type!

1. I'd like to see the arcade stay. It would be cool trying to beat other FOT's.
2. The Best Show Game- My kid and I were talking about this. We both agreed that it wold be great if PBR was a character in Super Smash Brothers Brawl. He could have special moves where he throws ring bologna, wield steakchucks, spray foes with Frank's soda, and for his final smash move, he would build a giant version of the hoagie described in Rambocky (and yes, it would have him saying the ingredients as he added them), adding his enemy as an ingredient.

I want to see a FOT version of Double Dragon, with Tom fighting Philly sports fans, members of the Deacons, guys w/ razorcanes, etc. only to face a "boss" at the end of each level. There could even be two-player action where Call Screener Jimmy Lee would fight alongside him.

Someone please make this. Please. PLEASE!
-
i could make an extensive FOT game over time, but it wouldnt be action based, more like walking around, figuring out dumb puzzles, finding items, etc.
or if someone wants to team up, i can design the game and someone can program the fighting. anyone good at that stuff?

-
PD, you should make that game that Tornado Todd (?) called about.
My oblique post above was just to suggest that it might be simpler to just hack an existing ROM, like Double Dragon, with Best Show tiles. I'm sure one of the FOTs can do pixel art. You could then play the game in an emulator or in one of the many web emulation frontends.
-

I can, and would! I'd also happily contribute whatever artistic skills I could to any other FOT project.

Yeah, I've been playing at least three games a day since I first read this thread. Damn seagulls.
-
Don't give a turlet about arcade especially "the irritating game". :)
Thanks Tom! The Best show indeed!
-
I've played Dwarf Wharf a ton, but find those seagulls way too frustrating to continue.
Abolish the arcade!
-
Dwarf Toss is kind of fun, but I agree that the seagulls are way to annoying to want to play the game for some serious points.
Feel free to axe it.

Once one of you losers takes down my long-standing high scores in either of those games then you can talk about giving them the ax.
Until then, shut your mouth and know your roles!
(Please imagine professional wrestler style intimidation for the above.)

You guys just got me addicted to Dwarf Wharf despite your seagull smear campaign.

I'd love to see a Newbridge adventure game!
As for the arcade, I liked it when it was functioning.
