how about putting the price in the article instead of just slamming the game?

coincidentally, it's 400 msp.

time pilot didn't get anything more than graphical upgrades either , and I enjoyed that.

Also, there is one change to Deluxe,
>>
The release of Asteroids Deluxe: The sequel to the original, released in 1980, Asteroids Deluxe featured the same classic gameplay but added a new shield feature and dangerous satellite enemies. Play both the original and its sequel in all of its classic old-school style.

Thanks for the update.

I guess if you meant that Asteroids Deluxe hasn't changed from Asteroids Deluxe circa 1980 save for new graphics, then the article would be accurate but that wasn't entirely clear.

I will stop talking to myself now.

Actually, I meant to say Evolved, not Deluxe. Fixed.

Thanks again for the clarification.

Hey what of the fact that the first poster can really monopolize the first page of comments by continually replying to his own post???

I am a retro-whore so this article will not dissuade me!

Also... Time Pilot = one of the greatest arcade games ever. I still play it all the time. We have it at a local retro-arcade and I'm so close to beating the high-score I can smell it!

I don't remember off the top of my head, but last time I was at the arcade (http://www.1984arcade.com/) I only missed it by like 10k.

I should also point out that the arcade actually only has a full cabinet for Time Pilot '84, which isn't as good as the original. But sometimes they swap the board out in one of the generic cabinets and put in the classic TP.

On a side note, when I get an e-mail notification for a response to one of my comments, the link does not work correctly. Anyone else have this problem? It loads the page, but there is no content (only title, banners on the right, and some nav. No comments/replies).
