Re: Devfinitive Edition (Keith Burkhill): vote

A tough choice:
1: Commando - best of the bunch.
2: Missile Defence - I played this for years on emulation. Loved it.
3: Ghost N Goblins and Gilligans Gold - It's a tie!

Re: Unnecessary inclusions in games

I've always find scores in certain games useless, for example Sabre Wulf, where the aim is go further, reach somewhere, etc. They're games that the arcade component is not as important as the adventure one. I've never noticed the score I've got unlike pure arcades like Commando or 1942. Games like ...

Re: Iconic Character Sprites

That makes 256 studs being just under 2 metres wide, 192 studs is just under a metre and a half.
Now that is huge and rather heavy.
It would fit on one wall, but it will be from the ceiling downwards and be hidden behind a few bits such as the TV.
