O2 symbol?

Postby Alienblue » March 26th, 2005, 1:49 pm

YESS! Finally more reviews for my favorite
system, the O2! 2 corrections and a question:

Pachinko: " ..Game from the price is right.."? Uh...
Pachinko is based on the EXTREMELY popular Japanese
game. The real game is like pinball without flippers;
you just put in coins and shoot the ball hoping
it will land in the "cups". Prizes are awarded for high scores.

Alien Invaders Plus: "...second row look like mushrooms.."
The aliens in the first row are ROBOTS and the "mushrooms" are
their CANNONS. You get no points for hitting the cannons,
but they stop firing at you.

ok, question: Never played DYNASTY....WHAT is that symbol
in the lower right of the screen that looks like "1up"?

Thanks for the Odyssey 2 feedback. I'll try to update my reviews with your comments. Looks like I'll need to put Alien Invaders on my re-review list.

In Dynasty, I believe that symbol on the lower right symbolizes the computer player (the person on the upper right symbolizes a human player).

Thanx! This is why this is my favorite game site,
you listen to your readers!

I did some research and it may interest you to know
that the computer symbol, which looks sorta like "nP"
is actually greek for Micro-processor! Who sez O2 games
aren't deep? <:

I agree, the OƒU was pretty quirky and cool.  I lucked out and got a complete game/set of Conquest of the World on eBay recently, and though the premise is fun, it's easy to realise the boardgame elements are all there to adjust for the shortcomings of the system.  But what an imaginative way to "fake" the consumer out.  I've never seen anything so elaborate short of a Dungeons & Dragons 8th grade lunch session.

When will the Critic review Conquest of the World ?  hint:  C- grade material for sure, but a definite fun factor is prevalent on the airplanes.

Actually, I do have Conquest of the World. However, I was a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of pieces that came with it. One day soon I'll try to sit down and figure it out.
