Zeke's Peak

If you like Ice Cold Beer (also in this game), Zeke's Peak, or The Irritating Maze, you must buy this game. It works with keyboards, so you can use your ipac and joysticks. There's a cabinet mode where you can play it on a vertical TV too, but I haven't tried it. https://youtu.be/alQXfVSJLug

I completed the first loop on an actual machine -- but the machine didn't have audio on -- did a google search and discovered this. So I bought this to hear the loop sequence rather than searching on youtube. The machine did not loop! it just ended after reaching the 10th hole! The physics is inaccurate but I can forgive that. The other thing is that this steam version has two guard rails on the extreme ends that are also not on the machine. Not a big deal since the inaccurate physics makes this version easier. But I would prefer no guard rails and more accurate physics. The arcade loop is such a simple concept, with such a niche machine, why remove the biggest gameplay mechanic? It's not like you need to limit the players play time to eat more credits like an actual arcade would. Disappointing.

This is well worth a purchase if you like these sort of games and It's less than 10 bucks. It really feels like the original mechanical arcade machines. You use the L and R bumpers on your Xbox controller to raise and level the bar. The challenge is addicting!

I played Ice Cold Beer for the first time a few weeks ago at Morristown Game Vault. Legit sat there for an hour playing it. I've been looking for the actual arcade cabinet since, until I can get the real thing this version scratches the itch. I didn't even know Zeke's Peak was a thing until I saw a Craigslist ad in Portland looking to buy either of them... and that led me here. Fantastic game!
