    Default The O2 came yesterday! Thoughts?!

    Well, my O2 arrived yesterday and I was pretty excited... right up about until I popped in Helicopter Rescue. What the hell? Anyway, the one thing I give the O2 credit for is box artwork. All of the game boxes have really funky and consistent artwork. Some of those covers would make great posters. The games I got with it were:
    Armored Encounter!/Sub Chase
    Baseball
    Out of this World!/Helicopter Rescue!
    Speedway! Spin-out!/Crypto-Logic!
    Cosmic Conflict!
    Alien Invaders-Plus!
    Casino Slot Machines
    Hockey!/Soccer!
    K.C. Munchkin!
    UFO!

    Are any of these outside of Munchkin worth mre than 5 mins. of my time playing? Helicopter Rescue! sure doesn't seem like it. Also, what's up with all of those exclamation marks!

    Hey there congobongo,

    UFO is some good addictive fun. Asteroids Deluxe Lite. Ram right into the stuff, and hope there's not another one right behind it because now your shields are down. I used to play that for ages.

    With the right second player, Baseball can be hilarious. It's very stripped-down and simple, but that's the beauty of it. And so help me, I LIKE Alien Invaders Plus. Gotta love those killer crabs.

    I noticed UFO seemed to be the best of the bunch. I couldn't always get the shots to fire in the right direction though.

    The cannon rotates a little bit every time you move. Even the slightest move can kill your aim. I usually bash stuff first and then only fire as a last resort.

    I'm a hands-on kinda guy that way.
