Interests
I'm into retro gaming in the Sierra Nevada region of California. I have a lot of interests, but mostly my personality is dominated by being the single father of a 6 and 8 year old.
Likes: Apple II, MS-DOS PCs, pinballs, arcade games, cartoons, melodic electronica, lakes. -
Currently Playing
Robotron... The game is working and doing well. Also VS Super Mario on the Red Tent. I'm hacking the ROMs to get a high score save on it, and Burgertime at the arcade.
-
Playing Next
Well, hopefully one of the pinball games I'm working on. Black Hole, Black Knight or Baby Pac-Man.
Winter is coming. Maybe I'll do an old school jRPG.

It's a Genesis 6-button controller on a seagull adaptor (from the AA store). We're playing this on a 7800 with an A/V mod.

It's been almost two decades since I first saw this cart label on the AtariAge search index.... 20 years since that lmao... And here it is in my hands! My son and I played it last night ... And we admit we had no idea what we were doing. If you don't have anything to do for two minutes of your life... I recorded some of the experience...

My son and I are testing out some games from Germany! The first one is Motorcross. It's okay. Playable!!! Some of these weird games from far away... He seems to like it... But when I asked him he said... "This game is so bad!" We'll try some more. 😁

What did you buy today?.........
CaptainBreakout replied to evilevoix's topic in Show Us Your Collection!
Perhaps the best example of a game one collects and doesn't play. -

Three Video Pinballs compared C-380
CaptainBreakout replied to Rob Mitchell's topic in Dedicated Systems
The other day I was looking at a thread here that went into detail about how to mod these c-380's for A/V out. I can't seem to find the thread about it now. Anyone know the link to that thread? -
List of 2600 games with boss battles?
CaptainBreakout replied to sloth-machine's topic in Atari 2600
It probably does not qualify... Since it's a little like the situation with Yars Revenge and the Qotile. Running from Mike Myers in Halloween is pretty much the entire game. There are some short periods of time when he's not on the screen, but he's never that far away. It funny when you compare Atari's Halloween to something like Friday the 13th on the NES. I'm pretty sure it's an easy win to say that Jason is a boss in that game, and he appears a lot, but in that game there's more stuff to do to break up the boss fights. Halloween has Mike in it so much (he's the main element of the game, besides saving kids), saying he's a boss fight would be a little like saying every main adversary in a game like Tag Team Wrestling or (shudder) your opponent in Froggo's Karate are also a boss fights, and they are clearly not. Anyways, thought it was worth mentioning here, but unless we consider the whole game a boss fight, I don't actually think it qualifies to be honest. -

All the time, and no one has mentioned Halloween. (According to the manual... it's the game where HE comes home!) -

CaptainBreakout replied to evilevoix's topic in Show Us Your Collection!
I've always kinda wanted one of these... $30 shipped. Untested. I think I made out pretty good on it, but I think it needs a bath. It looks like it's possible to do an A/V mod on these things. Kinda excited 'bout that -
Hoy! I got the greatest package ever from Deutschland today! I'll write about it more as I explore it. Life is good. Enjoy it.

Raiders of the Lost Ark... ... The Ark!!! I'm just kidding. But actually if you look at the movie you could see the ending as one hell of a boss battle.
