iamthedoctor Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Back in the 1980s I used to love playing in the arcades games like Gradius & Raven (Side Scrolling Shoot em ups) but sadly I havent found any console games that are this type of genre which is a shame as it was massively popular back then. Â Are there any games about these days on the current consoles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted May 8, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 8, 2013 They definitely exist, and can be found on Xbox Live Arcade. Can't provide you with any names though unfortunately as I don't play them. But I've definitely seen them about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dopper Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Just starting to have a few problems with my four year old PS3. Â I put GTAIV in one day and it was going through the opening start-up screens (girl sucking lolly, cops on stairwell, etc) on repeat over and over and over, it wouldn't load up the game. Â All of my other games are still loading fine, so I put it down to a problem with the disc. There is nothing outwardly wrong, no scratches etc., but the only thing I did notice was the fan in the machine seemed to slow down and get quieter when I put GTAIV in. Â That was a few weeks ago, then last night I tried to put a brand new Blu-Ray in (again, no scratches) and it get's to the loading screen but won't actually load it as far as the menu screen. Â Anyone had this problem before? Can anything be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Possibly a lens problem. Might have difficulty reading discs with lots of data. Not sure if a lens cleaning disc will sort it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reznor Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Remember that fun little geography quiz website that was popular a few years back? The screen showed a map of the world and you had to locate the countries/cities/landmarks etc. It scored you based on the distance you clicked from it, and got progressively harder as you went through the levels with more obscure places and less time to answer. Â Anyone know if it still exists, and if so, the address for it? Â Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patiirc Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 http://www.geoguessr.com/ ? Â I was going to say Geo Challenge by Playfish. However, most of their games are in the process of closing or have now closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 http://www.geoguessr.com/ ? Â Cheers for posting that! I've just had a few goes, it's really fun trying to figure out where you are. I've been wildly off in some cases, pretty accurate for others based entirely on guessing the terrain or buildings, and I've been googling signs on shops and stuff to try and figure out where I am.

Reznor Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 http://www.geoguessr.com/ ?  That's not it, but i'm glad you posted that as I bloody love streetview and looking at random far flung places, so this is right up my street. Fun stuff, hopefully it's programmed in a way that gives almost endless views rather than repeating the same one after a bit  Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Streetview + Occulus Rift = has to happen.When did they start capturing footpaths then? When I tried that quiz it started on a dock at the bottom of a flight of stairs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 14, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted May 14, 2013 I had a go this morning that started in the middle of a zoo in Mexico. There does only seem to be a limited amount of countries that Street View has covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamthedoctor Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Something i've been meaning to ask for ages but never got round to it. Â I have a NDS Lite and every time I turn it on I get horrible black lines across the top screen. Now its got to the state where I cant get a picture no matter how much I open and close it. I asked my local computer shop but they want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Anyone know of a good Dailymotion downloader? Keepvid doesn't seem to be working with DM any more, so I'm looking for another method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
