Maybe I was too harsh with the VCS port, I'd be willing to go back and give it another try. But I've never played them on a portable device. The perception of the game on a DS collection might be a bit different than on a VCS cartridge/console setup.MadPlanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725908232972984690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743918922173292265.post-21204732801048844672012-04-06T03:15:33.620-05:002012-04-06T03:15:33.620-05:00Love Canyon Bomber, and agree its a much underated...Love Canyon Bomber, and agree its a much underated game.

I found the best <a href="http://home-game-rooms.com" rel="nofollow">game room store</a> and have been working on making my room a lot like this!

Give it a shot on MAME if you get a chance - the one-button control panel translates perfectly to 1 button on a keyboard and 2-player play works fine on the keyboard as well.MadPlanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06725908232972984690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5743918922173292265.post-53199705579210136912012-02-22T07:40:28.673-06:002012-02-22T07:40:28.673-06:00Another amazing retrospective on an arcade that I ...Another amazing retrospective on an arcade that I was never aware of.<br /><br />Then again and to my defense Canyon Bomber is a bit older than me, but still... <br /><br />The one button elegance of the design is especially impressive in its innovation.<br /><br />Thanks for the lovely write-up dear MadPlanet.gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497613771780431048noreply@blogger.com
