even with a life every 25k it's pretty difficult

>>5190716
Pretty easy game.

Also the game came out on a lot of hardware that could have improved everything about it, yet it was the same game on all hardware near launch. Similar if a 3ds game launched today, and we used that version for ps4, X1, pc, switch.

How do we feel about this here?

ok what the fuck is this meme
please explain how robotron is easy

>>5190801
It's a little dull, sadly, the original is way more fun and intense despite the primitive hardware

>>5190716
There are none, only bad posters will assert that this game has flaws

i kinda feel like building a mame bartop arcade machine just to play robotron and maybe some trackball games
i feel like 8 way joysticks would be much easier than analog sticks or dpad + face buttons

>>5190716
way too easy

Smash TV is better.

Williams was the fucking king of the arcades. Better than Namco imo. Robotron, Joust, Bubbles, and Blaster are all classics. Was never able to get into Defender though, honestly.

Oh and "Splat!" is also very fun and unique. I never hear anyone talk about that game. (I've only ever played it on the Midway compilation for PS2 though)

Ok now that's fucking edgy

Undeniable really.

Jeff Minter shit is great, I miss reading his old articles ranting about trinitrons and psychedelic colors in Atari ST gaming mags

I enjoy it

Smash TV is not better although it is pretty nice

>Williams was the fucking king of the arcades.
I respectfully disagree. It holds a solid 2ND place tho.

Found one - The cheap volume petentiometers used in Williams arcade cabinets need replaced these days or else the sound shits out.
