I'm looking for an old ROM of this Arcade game for my art teacher. If anyone can help me out, I will appreciate it very much.

Well he says it's his favorite game of all time and it's "REALLY old" I'll go check around a few places for it.

Never mind now, I think I found one. I was just getting so sick and tired of broken links and such.

But the game was released in 1987 fyi

Oh, it was an arcade game. I'm not even sure if consoles were coming along then. Especially considering I was celebrating my 1st b-day that year.

I was 7, and yes the Arcades were the bomb, even for a 7 year old. Consoles were quite prevalent too. Atari was fading away and NES was stepping up to the plate as the new contender.

Speaking of which, if anyone has a *cough* rom copy *cough* of Super Mario RPG or whatever it was named, I would greatly appreciate a chance to scope it out.

Yo, games are games, and if your only sticking to PC you're losing out on a lot of good titles. We're consoles for little girls when you was growing up and didnt even know what a computer was? Just something to think about...

All you young pups.... HB was a great coin op game. Two people could play at same time, kinda like FPS but you had an overhead view.

The neat thing was that both of the joysticks could be rotated which controlled the direction of your shots. The Heavy Barrell was a mega gun that you collected parts to as you went through the game.

Yeah, after playing HB, I got addicted. Not bad considering the game is 16 years old, now I cannot stop playing for some reason.

Anyway, I knew about NOFL2 and UT2k3 being online already, but I didn't know about Hitman 2. I might have to check that out.
