Is it just me, or has anyone bought this game after playing it way back when in the arcades? (I mean the old-school coin operated ones...) Man, when I was 8 years old I could get really far in this game...now I struggle to get to wave 10...

I don't think it's you my friend, I used to be addicted to this game when it was an old coin drop game....I can remember getting past like wave 60 or something close to that on a regular basis, after playing it on regular x-box, I can barely make it past wave 10 as well....lol, just today I purchased the x-box 360 version, but haven't tried it yet....we'll see...lol

The best that one can do, is put themselves into a winning situation and then let circumstance take care of the rest...

	Im too young to have ever played on the old-school arcades but I did used to play it on the SNES with my sister when we were really small. We could get really far in it as well but now we don't do that good either. Probably an age thing? Arcade games own :]

Re: Was This Easier When I Was A Kid?

	It was probably a fluke.... lol try again and see if you can do it again (not to ruin your hope btw :P). But thats why I love arcade games, they are so tough, all the modern games are pretty easy. You don't get that challenge anymore. Or is that an age/ experience thing as well lol? (ps the raptors in joust scare the hell out of me!) Arcade games own :]
