Game on!

Welcome to my humble gaming blog. My name is Predator314 and I'm a gamer. I'm a crappy gamer too! I go through spells where I play a lot of games, but never really get good at any of them. I'm a big fan of the classic 80's arcade games, so there will be a lot of MAME talk in this blog. I also have an Xbox 360, a PSP, Dreamcast, and soon I will have an iPhone.

A huge project I'm working on right now is my MAME cabinet. I'm approximately 65% finished with this project. Right now I'm working on it a couple hours a week. I have the control panel working and it actually set up in my home right now. I've been playing a lot of classic games on it lately. I will upload some MAME cabinet pictures soon!

Also, on my Xbox, I have been cycling through some XBLA games: Limbo, Pacman CE, Geometry Wars Evolved 2, and Galaga Legions. I'm almost finished with Limbo. I might finish it up this week. I'm just getting started with the others though.

I really want to get my name on the Twin Galaxies leaderboards for some of my games I love. The problem is that I can't decide on a particular game to work on. So I'm going to do a decathalon of games to practice and still cater to my ADD (self diagnosed of course). Here is a list of games I'm going to start practicing:

1.) Pacman CE (XBLA)
2.) Galaga Legions (XBLA)
3.) Donkey Kong (MAME)
4.) Donkey Kong Jr. (MAME)
5.) Zookeeper (MAME)
6.) Gunsmoke (MAME)
7.) Paperboy (MAME)
8.) Bomb Jack (MAME)
9.) Robotron 2084 (MAME)
10.) Bank Panic (MAME)

I think that's a good list to start with. I'm just going to practice these in rotation so as to try to get better, but not get bored with the games. A couple of those games I've never played before, but have been meaning to try.

Keep tuned into the blog. I'll keep everyone updated on my high scores, my MAME cabinet progress, game reviews, and if I ever get good enough, World Record attempts!
