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.

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.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

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!!!

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.

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?
