Title: Taito Classic Strategy Guide
Post by: TheSunshineFund on February 13, 2014, 12:07:24 pm

I've been toying with the idea of doing a Taito games strat guide in the vein of the old 80's ones but effective  Kappa

I plan to get around to it and post in this new glorious subforum.  Zoo Keeper will be a link to Ross' thread :)

Mostly the early 80s ones, Qix, Alpine Ski, Elevator Action, Jungle Hunt/King, etc to start.  I'd rely on others for Bubble Bobble although my wife is a pretty decent player in the 2m range on MAME  <Allen>

I'd eventually expand to the JAMMA era I think like Arkanoid, Rastan, etc.

I would be interesting in seeing one for EA.  I know everyone is moaning about the game for BotA but I used to love the game BITD even though I was horrible at it and still am.

 Rastan too, maybe, if there's any interest? 

(And frankly, why people shouldn't be interested in mulleted muscle-bound meatheads wandering around in their underpants slicing bats in two with battleaxes is a constant mystery to me)
