Old School, New School Games

[Coconut12]

Has anyone been participating in the Old School New School giveaway? You get codes to play on AMP Energy, Mountain Dew and SoBe Essentials drinks - and the prizes are awesome. For the old school gamers, you can win a full sized arcade game that comes pre-loaded with 178 old school games and for the new schoolers, there is a 40" HDTV with an Xbox 360. Hard to choose - are you Old School or New School?

Yes... so hard to choose... Large box that takes up lots of space, or HDTV with 360...

I always wanted my own arcade cab.

That is true that it would take up a good amount of space, but think of all the cool old school games on it - it comes with 178! I agree ShinigamiMommy, I wanted one when I was younger - it would be really cool to win one. Have you been playing?

Mountain Dew tastes like cold piddle

AMP Energy drinks are good and with those codes, you get two chances to play! Do you drink AMP Energy?

Most of these old-school games seem to be crap though (with the exception of a few).

 

[Coconut12]

They are classic games - what games were you expecting to see on the arcade? Here is a list of all the games: http://pepsi.yahoo.com/oldschoolornew/prizeosgaming.php
This contest is cool like that though - if you don't like the old school option, you can play to win the new school one!

Are you board?

 

[Sora'sFoxycharm]

Hello In Here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sora'sFoxycharm]

Oh

 

[Sora'sFoxycharm]

Well

 

[Deep Thought]

I'd prefer some "proper" arcade games, such as Contra, 1943 or Mortal Kombat.

The prize description says:
"Classic Arcade: Includes 178 games. The Arcade system comes with an internal powerful computer running Windows XP home which includes a 80GB hard drive, & it's compatible with existing PC software & hardware. Equipped with a 22" WideScreen LCD flat panel high-resolution monitor, premium 2.1 audio sound system with subwoofer, mouse & keyboard & an Ethernet adapter for access to the Internet & e-mail."
So... you could put all those games on there and more! It's the appeal of the classic set up that's worth playing for IMO.

Chances of winning: One in 500 million.

Yeah no thanks

 

[Coconut12]

Chances are better than that imo - on SlickDeals someone did the math - "336 of each style of gaming package, so that means 3.65 per day, or one every 6.5 hours." Also, there have almost been 3,000 winners so far - http://pepsi.yahoo.com/oldschoolornew/winnersmap.php - chances are not that bad, i say keep playing!

Again, Mountain Dew tastes like cold piddle

Also Im beginning to suspect this thread is spam

 

[Ran28]

No but that sounds neat I would like to have a arcade machine

 

[Ran28]

arcade machines are neat

 

[Coconut12]

Agreed! Arcade machines are neat - I would like to win one! Reminds me of being a kid again, I really wanted one back then!
