PS1 is great on the MiSTer. Can't vouch for Saturn or PS1 as I still haven't gotten around to troubleshooting my unit yet. It's been like.. a year now. 😅

Ack! I completely forgot; thank you!

I want to say this has been around for a while, but I am not sure about this particular resource. I have my magazines from my subscription in 84, and they are fun to look through to see how far we have come, what ideas never made it off the ground or just failed, and what is still the same. Plus, I have read articles from the period with directly contradict what some well-known people like to purport as history. All good stuff. Long live the Way Back Machine.

I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone call Klax tedious, but alright.

I'm be pretty interested in seeing a video game that's playable if both audio and video are disabled. That'd have to be something unique, I think. I agree. I'm interested in the game and hope its awesome, but I do agree that it seems like they just slapped the Yars stuff in there to make it fit. Hopefully wrong, though, and it all fits nicely once released.

Nice job with your Search Engine Optimization! I searched on this game to see more about it and yours was the first entry to come up! 😀 I'd probably give that game a try, except, and I'm not a germophone AT ALL, but I just can't get into wearing those public VR goggles.

Definitely not that, the 2nd image 648B seems to be PLATO related Note: as well as saying 588B on the label this is one of a number of disks that says "SIGNS" on the label too

@MrFish I think Starmaster is missing from the list of 2600 games.

But another big question is: Will the PokeyMax V4 be available to buy anywhere? For most of us it will be impossible to assemble the board ourselves, even with a little SMD experience these components are far too difficult.

If it did well enough, I would prefer the 2p version of the game, just because it's half the size. Most of us ops would prefer smaller games too - aside from costing less, it lets me pack in more games. It's nice to have a spectacle game or two, but not for the entire arcade. Unfortunately, most stuff being made right now is all about being spectacle games. Here's yet another that Raw Thrills recently rolled out Yeah, once they implement waves and leaderboards, I'll be paying more attention to repeat plays. That's always the best tell

Got it. Prometheus was a 2012 film in the Alien series. Let's hope the new Alien movie this summer is a good one!

Cool. Looking forward to seeing how next week goes.

The good news it that your wish is granted! By me, retro and 80's arcades are just as popular, if not more popular than the modern arcades / FECs. My favorite local arcade is all 80s games, with zero of those huge modern games. There are several of these retrocades. Here's my favorite that I go to all the time:

/*Best Darth Vader Voice*/ Impressive. Most impressive. ... My issue once I get up to about bridge 40 is fuel. I've a tendency to hold the stick back early in the game ... and I have to consciously think NOT to, so I can make it to the next fuel depots before I run out. I'm also not good at suppressing my urge to shoot the fuel after getting 90% of it, which doesn't help later in the game where you largely need ALL of it. ... Congrats!

@Beeblebrox Thanks for the confirmation and the tip video. I saw another from Andrian Black doing a similar trick. I have to report: I now have a working Mitsumi keyboard in my latest Atari 800 pick up!

I find Klax to be a rather tedious puzzling experience and observe that it is the calling card of weak games libraries, when the best that can be said is complimenting ports since it came to everything and was basically the same everywhere.

Dunno... CIS0588B.dsk

I'm probably in the minority and somewhat driven by nostalgia, But the more I see modern arcades, with their GIANT screens and Huge games taking up huge real estate, (Your Space Invaders Frenzy, Fast & Furious, and HALO Firestorm blahditty Blah), and (understandably) costing more for the arcade owner and costing more to play; The more I appreciate the way it used to be, with smaller cabs and screens where you'd walk up and enjoy your game, (Or maybe you and a friend for fighting, co-op, or alternating players type games)...I'm actually glad the Asteroids: Recharged is not a Giant, room-sized, experience... Maybe the pendulum will swing and it will get back to being able to enjoy your game in anonymity and not broadcast it to everyone who walks by, nor worry about how many tickets the machine is spitting out... PS: Nothing wrong with the Big games, per se, I just Also want the smaller cabs to come back in fashion.

I had forgot where this thread went, so when I looked at the last post, I was confused. I was trying to remember the 2600 game Prometheus.

Aside from the one dude who spends hours on it, most have played for several minutes, then walk away. New weekend and new people though, so we'll see

Wow, an honour indeed. There are 9 games on my suggestion list, I'd be happy to give any of them a try. I haven't played Great Escape, Blinky's Scary School or the Atari version of The Last Ninja 2 before, so I don't know whether they're any good

Needs a 35K expansion to run. Really well done imo. https://www.indieretronews.com/2024/04/prince-of-persia-has-been-converted.html

Haha, excelllent job with building the anticipation!! 😀 Yep, I figured sales wouldn't be over the top with the coin glitch. Was just curious if people were actually playing it, or just walking by!

Great effort McKong You can suggest an entire poll as you wish - perhaps for the next round (R7 as R6 is now up), 9 games

Scores for R5 added including Torq's catch-up Galaxian 12pts
