You can set the visuals and sound to original in the options mode, but the difficulty is about what I remember. I'll have to check out in MAME to see if the parachute guys disappear as quickly on the old version as they do on the new, though.

Nah, the paratroopers always disappeared quickly.

I just checked it out in MAME and, sure enough, they do. Although the original gives you a split second offscreen time, instead of XBLA's insta-gone. It's not really important, though.

What the fuck is Time Pilot?

A great shooter from around when I was born hehe. In short each level is a different time period, after you defeat a predetermined number of enemies, the boss shows up... beat the boss, move on. You get bonus bonus for killing a formation, and other bonus points for saving people in parachutes.

As a side note, I've decided I'd take a dick in the ass if it would make Gunstar Heroes come out with co-op over Live.

Oh you could save the dick in the ass and just wait for it since it'll happen.

[K3V]

what's so special about it? He takes dicks in the ass as easily as you or I breathe.

True, but doing it and admitting it in public are two different things.

It's really too bad that co-op sucks. Two people play their own game of Time Pilot, with no interaction, while combining score. It's co-op in a way, I suppose, but hardly worth the effort.

How else could've they done it without adding a lot of new code? I suppose they could've done it like Robotron, but did you ever try that? What a mess, you have people who have no idea what they're doing, trying to collect enemies and avoiding the humans. What's good about TP co-op is that if you die early, you can watch and learn from your partner.

When does Texas Hold 'em come out? And will it teach me to play poker?

Not well it won't. Playing poker for free is just about the biggest waste of time I can imagine.

Why risk it?

[TobalRox]

Why risk it?

Because the chance of it NOT happening is pretty damn slim.

[Opaque]

That's a chance I'm not willing to take.
