Woweee. Not to sound like a broken record, but Bob has done it again for the 7800. Just got Scramble (cart) in the mail today, and it's better than you can imagine. It plays great and is fun as hell. I can't believe it. So awesome. Bob - make it a full time job. All of these old arcade translations are spot on awesome. Can't get enough of them. It feels better than any version of this I've ever played, and the controls are perfect. It is genuinely fantastic. Can't wait to play through it, and Bob deserves accolades for releasing another classic.

Everyone should own this on cart, and that pretty much goes for everything he's every put out.

Groovy Bee - when can we start to obtain some of your work on cartridge? Looking forward to all of these releases, and all of the XM stuff too.

Bob - I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you are the man. Really awesome work.

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Yup, lots of fun. Just finished my first game on "Normal" level -- 19,580. Couldn't get past that stupid bank of fuel tanks to get the the last level!

I'm using one of Golden Ax's modded NES controllers for separate fire and bomb -- works great!

Don't suppose there is any chance of him making a multi-cart with a few of his games on one cart?

Just got mine too. Agreed, it's a great game. I think it plays slightly better than I remember the arcade playing. I also dig the different difficulty settings.

So yeah, par for the course I'd say

Just saw this thread - thank you, thank you, thank you!
I appreciate the kind words - you guys are great.

There's going to be a High Score Contest soon for Moon Cresta, where the first 20 people to reach a certain high score will get a beautiful patch (like Activision did in the 'old days'), made by gambler172 and Marc Oberhäuser.

Stay Tuned.

Nice. I'd like to have high score contests for all of Bob's games at some point.

[PacManPlus]

This is what the patches look like (yes, there will be a High Score Contest for SCAA at some point as well)
Aren't these beautiful?

Hat's off to gambler172 and Marc for making these.

... I'm thinking I should have made this a separate thread...

Well, I guess when I start the contest, it will be it's own thread.

Surely there are better compliments that can be paid to this game than to liken it to something that little old ladies sit on.

Oh wow, great patch. Guess I'll have to brush up my MC skills...
