Robotron
Here’s the comic, sorry it’s a bit late. Ben, I like how you drew the space ship like it had drunk a lot of coffee.
These days, Robotron has got to be the game I play the most (or at least close). It uses the simplicity of the old arcade game style in order to make an extremely difficult game that never makes you feel like you’re out of control. If you lose, it’s because you made a mistake or didn’t have the reflexes, it’s never because the controls didn’t work. I’m a bit sad to say that I actually haven’t played much Sinistar, mostly because it’s not on Gametap (which is what I use to play Robotron) and therefore isn’t quite as convenient as just being able to load the game up on my computer.
But, seriously, with how hard Robotron can be, you need something to keep you going through the game. Good music can help keep you focused and keep you in rythm. Tom Sawyer by Rush is of course great for this purpose (which is why it’s in the comic).
I should seriously play some Sinistar though…
EDIT: Just played some Sinistar and it really is an awesome game. I need to play some more of it.
