Can anyone remember the name of this game? its been bugging me all day, you had too walk through the levels beating up anyone in your way, i think there was old men dressed in black(i think)with a sticks that you picked up and smashed them into the ground too waist height to kill them, also i think there may have been gorillas to fight too, i know its a bit vague but someone must remember it, had it on the commodore 64 about 15 years ago?

none of the above, just had a look at them all on youtube but no good.


found another old favourite and played this all the time in my youth, was worth the watch just too see it completed, seeing as i never managed it , whoever is playing this is very good.

Old thread alert



There is an app called pinball arcade, there are some old classics on it, shame there is no addams family or terminator, but there is bride of pinbot you can download for ยฃ1.99 or even play it free, the graphics are awesome on the ipad, just like playing the real thing!

Pinball arcade breaks up many a journey, monthly updates are cool.

I'll look out for them, so easy to download to, even for someone who is shocking on a computer, still can't get an emulator to work.

Are there any makers of physical pinball machines left? I remember reading years ago that there was only 1 in the world. It was either Bally or Williams. According to wiki Bally stopped in 1999 and Midway which seemed to buy up everyone is now in liquidation.
