What's not close?
Killer Cobra is superb but far too fast , the levels are pretty similar but do go off at a tangent . It would be a brilliant game if they had managed to get the speed right.

With Regard to Port Stanley.The River Raid Section is pretty close in it's concept, although massively underused in the game , The scrolling is reasonable and all the elements are there , it really would be loads better if it was arranged well . I am not sure of how much use it would be in developing a good River Raid Game . I am shocked that the game developers didn't make more use of it .Best part of the game imo

If if if, well it is not.
Would like to see the real thing.
It is like I want to play ikari and instead play commando.
And no, I don't want to play a game till I go to that level that is similar.

If the people that granted us 3D Deathchase, JetPac, the 2012 R-type, Pac-Man Emulator (just to name a few) shared the same amount of doubt, we would have a much poorer games library now.

Xyphoe wasn't suggesting that i don't think , just saying they are a good platform to build a game from I suppose
Don't believe he was saying , here have these and be grateful.

I agree, 2600 has one of the best scramble right now.

IMHO the CBS version is way better...

And C64 has a terrific version but I judge considering the limitations.

You're right. But I don't know why the don't use hard-scrolling. However...

I think VincentGR had in mind the June 2015 version.
It's a brilliant conversion.

TFM · 22:04, 15 January 16

Haha! Ok, thank's for pointing that out. Scrolling is way better there.

Really nice , I expect they are working Super Cobra now. Lucky sods.
Didn't think 'Cosmic Avenger' by Universal was as good a game as Scramble ,tbh never saw it in the arcades for one thing and don't think it had the visual impact that Scramble did , The Colours were really fitting just around the time of the Punk scene , although a little after it, but still had the Jamie Reid 'Never mind the Bollocks' vibe. It was a great game to boot .

TFM · 23:26, 15 January 16

Oh, well, I grow up with Cosmic Avenger, saw scramble later on. But now... back to Black Flag!

Puresox · 00:15, 16 January 16

Black Flag eh , not heard much of their stuff tbh. Although Henry Rollins was from the band and I have a fair bit of his stuff , and was lucky enough to see him supporting Beastie Boys .

VincentGR · 15:08, 16 January 16

Oh my longplay, alex

.
Scramble is a game that gives that feeling... you know.
I was astonished when I saw it on the arcades in early 80s and same happened a couple of years back on 8bit home versions.
As a kid with a cpc never had it and that was sad
