Title: did you watch that documentary about the guy who tries to beat the Missile Command record?
Post by: slowcade on March 31, 2010, 11:08:05 PM
just got a call from patrik who went to my storage to check something: it seems as if there's a hand-painted missile command and a colony 7 in there suddenly ...  ;)

Hehe, you got that "kindergarden painted" Missile Command? ;) I'm looking forward to the restoration, now that it is in good hands. ;D

By the way, did you watch that documentary about the guy who tries to beat the Missile Command record? Quite nice! Here's a little clip from it, featuring some Amiga music (from Melon Dezign's Tetris demo):

 >:( >:( - seems like i lost it on my HD crash, but the file is still on my PS3, and i cant find a toturial on how to retrive it.. (copy it from the PS3 to the Comp)

EDIT So the only way to copy videos (videos that you put on the console from your computer) off of your PS3 is to use a USB device (thumb drive, external hard drive, etc.) or a memory card (only if you have a memory card reader).

Ill give that a go when i come home tonight  :)

I just watched the movie and I got to say Chasing ghost and King of Kong are a lot better.
The main character isn't really interesting, I don't like how it ended and I missed some other famous missile command player. But still, it's always nice to see some arcade related footage, so thanks for the tip and upload.  :)

Post by: Muerto on April 03, 2010, 08:35:09 AM
i have to agree with gyruss, KOK and CG are much better!, though it´s still fun to watch  :)
And i also really miss other famous MC players, for instance Roy Shildt´s AKA Mr. Awesome!! he is the funniest character ever in KOK! i know wee could discuss what ever is true or untrue, but the way he speaks about Billy is..... damn funny!

just finished watching the documentary and i L-O-V-E-D  :-* every second of it - one of the reasons might be that i have a missile command at home. don't know whether it resets after playing it for more than a day though  ;) it's sad to see that technology comes in the way of beating a score, although the last time he tried for the high score, he screwed it up himself. nevertheless, great docu, well executed and a nice (musical) score!

thx for sharing!!!

Post by: Etienne MacGyver on April 03, 2010, 12:00:42 PM
Yeah, i liked it too, but KOK and Chasing ghosts are way better

still i enjoyed it

by the way , if there are people here who have more arcade related movies / documentaries that are not on my FTP yet, feel free to upload it and PM me  8)

At the moment there is:

King of kong
Chasing ghosts
Highscore
an episode of my name is earl (there is a reference to kok in this episode as you can read on IMDB)
The "punky pong" episode of Bones
and not to forget the compilation that i made from 4 episodes of how its made

Ive had Joysticks, but that movie really sucked  ;D
Can put it back if someone is interested doh.
