I mean have a servo adjust the angle of the ramplates. Don't know if that'd work at all though by sounds like it could be worth trying.

Vectrex time! A lot of people don't even know this insanely awesome console exists which is a damn shame, it could have been bigger then the NES if it weren't for the games crash so I'm here to show you just how revolutionary this console was.
*Vector grahpics - could give games the illusion of 3D and provided very sharp and bright graphics: ![]() *Overlays: Gave games color, provided control explanation and a little UI (player 1 and player 2 score positions etc.): ![]() *Built-in controller and screen!: ![]() All this and more featured on this epic console that was released in 1982 in north america! the vectrex was truely ahead of it's time. 1645

I didn't find the voice acting in FFX that bad, a little cheesy yeah but that's to be expected in a game like final fantasy. Seymour, Jecht, Wakka etc. were all voiced well i only found tidus and yuna a little cheesy really :P
I loved the combat, loved most the characters, loved the maps, loved blitzball and seymour is one of the best bad guys i've fought against in video games.. he genuinely ticks you off after the 1 millionth fight (you just wish he'd die already) lol which is a good thing. 1646

doom was in mine too along with duke 3d and a little wolfenstein 3d, it came a tad later then most my previously posted gaming memories though.
My most loved games have all got some great customisation in them like 4d boxing, 4d driving (which I knew only as stunts) and even newer games like robot arena 2 and jade cocoon. 3D movie maker is probably my most played game of all time (not my fav though) I spent ages (literally ages..) on that making movies and watching other movies from people in the community, it had a pretty large community with loads of sites and tonnes of movies. 1649

One of the systems that I'd love to have in my collection, but always seems to evade me.

I'm a big retro gaming fan and recently found out about this little atari game called Halo 2600, it's basically Halo for the old atari 2600 system that was released in 1977.

If you and a couple of others are dedicated to making the AI Pack I see no reason why you shouldn't make it. More variety is hardly ever a bad thing.

And probably because the extra weight wouldn't help the bot much anywhere else because it's already awesome.
On topic: have you tried adjustable rams to possibly make bots slide up the bot easier? kinda like a vertical seism 13. |
