What is root beer? it sounds disgusting to me. Give me Stella or nothing at all

It may have just been Tapper on the BBC Micro then, I don’t think you could even buy Root Beer in Britain back then (come to think of it, I don’t know if you can buy it now) so it would have been a bit of a strange name.

At least here in the US when I was growing up you could find both Tapper (with beer) and Root Beer Tapper in the arcades. I remember Tapper being around a lot more than RB Tapper.

Had to go and check but it was Root Beer Tapper in the arcades at least.

Defo wasn’t Root Beer, cos the PC brigade hadn’t rolled into town at that point so they were not bothered about the under 10s playing a barman simulator.

I’m sure it was, although i could be mistaken, the point is though it royally sucked.

Root Beer Tapper? Was never called that when I played it on the BBC Micro about 20 odd years ago.

Oh yeah and, Mad Trax?

I want Castle Crashers. Now.

By: Random Guy

What ever happened to Castle Crashers? I was really looking forward to that game. Could’ve sworn it was supposed to come out February 20th. Perhaps that was only a guess…

No i didn’t realise it’s that much but it would still be worth every penny.

Blowing up my mates with a well placed grenade from the other side of the map.

Priceless.

No mention of Carcassonne arrg.

I’d pay 1600 points for Worms no problem. 2D worms in widescreen is going to rock. I still have fond memories of playing tons of games of Armageddon online on the PC.

By: Nekro

Nekro — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:38:07 +0000

You realize that that is about £85 or $160 don’t ya. Worms is NOT worth that much.

By: Nekro

Nekro — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 22:33:52 +0000

3100 for me. Might not be enough, may have buy another 5000.

Yeah i loved paperboy but it was only really any good when you had the fantastic handlebar controls in the arcade’s. Still going to have to try the demo of this.

Here’s hoping it is, im getting Worms even if it’s 10000 points. One of the greatest games ever made.

I’m sure it’ll be Worms next week ‘cos Team 17 said a few times that it’s just being certified…

Might need to get some more MS points, “only” have 1300 left ^_^

No game tomorrow …
“Although a game may not be launched every week, every Wednesday is an opportunity to share in the Xbox Live Arcade experience with friends and family.”
… so it better be Worms next week to make up for it.

I still wonder what’ll be out tomorrow, surprise or bad retro title?
