@32 The mention of the 8-bit console games in my first post was referring to gameplay and not actually about graphics. Sorry for the confusion, I should have clarified. The way these games play remind me of the endless nights sitting up in front of a tube in my room trying to get to the next level in a game for hours. Perhaps it’s the the difficulty more than anything.

@3 Have to disagree with you there. I grew up with all the 8 bits (consoles from Atari, Nintendo and Sega and the home computers such as the Spectrum, CPC and C64) and I just haven’t found myself enjoying any of the Pixel Junk games at all yet so not sure where this ’8 bit’ comment has come from. If they simulated the look and feel of old systems much the same way as say Mega Man 9 and 10 there might be something there that would hold my attention. God I’d love to see proper superb looking pixel art in games again (Scott Pilgrim doesn’t count cos the graphics were just not that good and would have got pretty poor reviews if released in the era of the actual 16 bit machines. I find myself spending a fair bit of time on the ported games like Gunstar Heroes, Final Fight and Streets of Rage 2 but I’ve played them so much I crave something brand new but like it was made back than and then lost for 20 years and only recently ‘rediscovered’. Although if Capcom read this and are considering ports of the arcade games The Punisher and Alien Vs Predator please do cos those games are still great :D

you guys should totally add custom soundtracks to this game for that authentic arcade experience. there was nothing better then dropping in your quarter/token and saving the world while your favorite tunes blared from out the jukebox.

Shooter 2 and SideScroller will be very different games, so don’t let SideScroller dissuade you from having fun with Shooter 2!

And I’ll keep that last comment a secret. Dylan will never know.
