A new vertical shooter will soon emerge for the Neo-Geo MVS, its name: Fast Striker. The game will feature six stages, will feature more than 40 different enemy types and 3D backgrounds. Emphasis is placed on scoring and there are three different game modes: beginner, original and maniac. The technical side is impressive since the game is 1560 megabit (never seen before on this hardware)! Accordingly, we will be entitled to a soundtrack of more than 25 minutes of stereo digitized music. An online ranking system will be established and it will be possible to update the game via an USB connection on the cartridge. Behind this production, we find the German developer NG:DEV.TEAM already responsible for Last Hope on Neo-Geo and Dreamcast consoles. Two versions are announced, one for commercial use and another one for private use. There are already some screenshots on the Fast Striker website. As you can see, it's vertical scrolling on horizontal screen. An ideal way to revive those old MVS cabinets out there.

On Saturday 3rd April, JohnMcAllister played Asteroids at a friend's house near Portland, Oregon. By Monday 5th April, he was still playing! At 10:18 p.m. Pacific, he scored 41,338,740 points, beating the 27 year old record set by 15-year-old Scott Safran who also stayed awake for three days. McAllister's marathon was streamed live over Justin.tv. Every few hours, once he had won enough extra lives, McAllister stood up to pace the room and eat a sandwich. A last-minute bathroom break almost cost McAllister the title: he came back when only two ships were remaining before defeat. The high score will be official once recognized by Twin Galaxies.

All arcades are closing one after the other, new operators are nowhere to be seen, players stay home. The existence of on-line play networks such as Xbox Live and PlayStation Network does not help. The arcade community doesn't include players anymore, only collectors. After 7 years of fight with operators who turn a deaf ear and players that nothing interests aside "possessing a machine", we have exhausted our resources. To ensure the sustainability of this website, we're embracing the Gaming with latest video slots and casino equipment news. But that's not all, you will earn money on our website! Gaming Belgium will soon become a not-to-be-missed iGaming portal through our association with the Wellingtonrenbaan (Oostende) and the Hippodrome de Wallonie (Mons) which allows you to place your bets on-line and watch the races live! For poker enthusiasts, a national tournament of Texas Hold'em poker will be held this year, qualifying turns starting this summer. Arcade games are not to be forgotten since you will be able to play the greatest arcade classics in Flash format with titles like Pac-Man, Asteroids, Space Invaders and Joust. And this is just the beginning, the future looks bright for Gaming Belgium, and YOU are the winner! This is an April fool!
