TANK 1990!!!!

I recently bought a cheap game console as i wanted to play those "old fashion, easy, non addictive" game.

I am not much of a gamer, certainly won't waste my time and money on those PS3 or Xbox . Sure those new breed type of game is cool and all, but it takes so much of your concentration and time to play and it make you addicted and sometime want to yank your hair right off your skull because you just can't seem to pass a certain stage.

So i go out and purchase this V-com!! dasyat game-nya dasyat mainnya!! (errrr..if you say so) It cost only Rp.140.000 with "tons" of game already inside the console.

of course we ripped off the PS joystick design, we are indons!!!!

I get back home and turn it on and turn out its actually not tons but errrrrr......let just say its astronomical, it has 999999999 games !!!!! yes...correct, nine nines!!

count the 9!!

but those bastards! its actually the same game repeating itself for like a gazillion time!! so you actually only got like 10 different game!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

It sure was fun playing all those game that the last time I played should be some 15 years ago. But for the easy part is sure wasn't, as i get beaten 5-2 at the soccer game! beaten by a game probably older than me! blahhh....now thats pathetic.

the actual game when im beaten 5-2 is not shown here to avoid further embarassment

But then there is one game i had in mind when i purchase this console, and it didn't come with it. Have to go out back to the store to purchase additional catridge, another downside from buying cheap stuff kick in, it's one of those many in one catridge and you don't get to see the list of the games inside!!! so seeing that they all cost the same i decide on the one with the most game, 85!!

And again, its the same game over and over again!! BUT..............i got the game i wanted......wait for it........................wait...............

TANK 1990 a.k.a BATTLE CITY!!!!

and talk bout non addictive, i play for 6 straight hours the 1st nite!!!! till 5am in the morning!! aih yay yay...i think most of you would had play this game before or at least know about it. You need to kill all other tanks and protect your "pancasila" you know, those birdie in the middle. along the way you need to collect stuff like star, gun, one up, bomb etc, to make your tank faster and meaner, because it just not fun playing with a tank that move like a crippled old lady and shot its rounds like, well crippled old lady trying to kick a football.

and as you can only manually selected your stage up to 50 but can play to eternity and beyond, you would try to play for as further as possible and when you reach a milestone and you are dead........errr...you feel like yanking the hairs out of your skull!!! not a very healthy game afterall

and since me and my girlfriend (its easier to play as a team) play untill stage 88 the very 1st time ever its just set a very high standard for us to break, we spend the next days and nites playing and trying to pass 88, now thats what i called addicted.

after about 5 straight days we finally broke the duck, surpassing 88 way beyond, and probably a little too much, we played till stage 124!!!!

now thats an amazing record breaking...but it left us contemplating how to break the 124!!!


If you don't see me around much lately...you know why
