  1. im considering moving from virgin mobile prepay to a monthly fee provider. one of my considerations for a provider is the ability to download emulated games into the phone. the websites for most providers are not forthcoming with lists of available games . t mobile has the PDA type devices like sideckick II but cant find any info on using it as a playing machine . games im interested in for playing on the phone is clasic arcade like tetris and burgertime. any suggestions
  2. for me it would have to be the TG16.I remember wanting one so bad back in 90-91 to play bonks revenge and splatterhouse but cant think of a single cool game to play now.
  3. donde estan los paisanos. no e tenido la oportunidad de buscar en los tiraderos de Nuevo laredo ultimamente pero lo que e visto la ultima ves que fuy es que atari esta muy escaso . casi es mas facil hallar nintendo i famicom. me gustaria dar con una maquina de fichas que se hallavan por toda la republica en los 80's i buena parte de los 90's que solo eran una consola con una tele blanco i negro i una delgadisima palanca. creo que las fabricaban en guadalajara . en my ultimo viaje este diciembre a michoacan . no vi ni una . puro game cube i play station
  4. not too confortable opening the vcs. no prob . get a can of keyboard cleaner aerosol. very safe on electronics . its always beter if you take it apart and runt it in the dishwasher as previously advised . i like balsting compresed air on the board to get rid off all the hair and dirt . clean vcs is an everlasting vcs
  5. Señor Huevo , i ike that may change my name to that some day . dont recomend geting adapters at radio shack . they only carry 300ma units and are very expensive . thrift around . if not make a power pack using an RS 4 AA battery holder part number 270-409. they go for about 2 bucks and has a nice on off switch .
  6. NES is still plentifull . $50 bucks is a little steep unles sis a good bundle with a coupe of games and advantage joysticks . have you tried the game crasyes . the carry them for $40 with 2 controllers around these parts. in comparison with famiclones . you canot beat madein japan quality . replace the cart conector and you will l have NES forever
  7. i like some obscure titles as well . with the NES there is always something to like burgertime,of course qix astyanax astrocade gradius (not obscure but who does not like it) bionic commando tiger shark guardian legend bump and jump matchbox motor city
  8. the c64 DTV made its money form QVC alone . kay bee sold them for 10 simply because they are closing a bunch of stores and need to clear inventories. its no reflection on the c64 DTV unit. the jacks units also sold like pancakes. they were just priced rigth . $40 is not really aimed at impulse retro buyers
  9. NES suply is 9v and will fry your power joy. power joy runs on 6v . most of these super joys run from 4 AA bateries . the amp requirements are minimal so just get a 6 volt power adapter. most aswering machines and cordless phoes at thrifts use 6volt adapters so its a good source
  10. now that you finished it it time to play with cheats . my fave is spawning antlion guards or fast zombies in the middle of combine soldiers . well known cheats but for those who dont know here is a few of my faves; first thing first is to enable cheats in console ; sv_cheats 1 to spawn a guerrila that will follow you with the rocket launcher : npc_create_equipment weapon_rpg npc_create npc_citizen you can bind this to a specific ke like the F1 by typoing in console bind F1 npc_create_equipment weapon_rpg; npc_create npc_citizen to create citizens with diferent weapons just change the weapon_rpg line to these other weapons to make the submachinegun weapon_smg1 to make the shotgun weapon_shotgun to make the combine assault rifle weapon_ar2 the ravenholm episode becomes really enyoyable when you got a trusty cityzen covering your 6 you can spawn vortigaunts that are ultra cool . they wont follow you but will own the battlefield with electroatacks npc_create npc_vortigaunt to create the antlion queen to really mix it up with the combine . although it wont be friendly npc_create npc_antlionguard and finally the uber evill fast snarling zombie npc_create npc_fastzombie there are lots more . why not try spawning a fazt zombie at the train station at the begining of the game . watch the metro cops run like hell
  11. i know it aint going to hapwn cause atari doesnt really need the flashback . but i do feel the success of the C64DTV really got these companies thinking to our advantage . if you must release some nostalgia hardware , it must be the real deal
  12. i find titles of the PSX and N64 era have not aged as well as the 16 bit generation due to the fact the they where trying to do things that was beyond the technology of the day . specially with all the 3d games with very low triangle counts and ugly 320 by 240 resolution while 2d sidescrollers wich would have been unstopable in those systems ,with a few exceptions ,where nearly forgotten. the 16 bit machines didnt even try to go beyond their ability and succeded in the games that the technology could handle very well; 2d sidescrollers , with the ultimate expresion IMHO "flashback" for the genesis and the megaman series for SNES. forays into 3d where limited and not overambitious . some standouts would be M1 abrams and Mig 29 for the genesis and of course starfox for the snes . but even then it was simple poligons and not overly complicated . anything more complex was left to the pc market . i do still enjoy some PSX games. the colony wars series. bushido blade 2 , G police, and the original Gran turismo. anithing else looks really dated
  13. im sure by now they got a look at how well the commodore stick did and realise that people will wait and pay a premium ($30) for genuine hardware, software , and expandability , not NES on a chip crap that has more in comon with flea market famiclones . they should hire C64 uberbabe jeri elsworth to make a a succesor for the flashback . you know she is into atari . look at her shirt for crying out loud.
  14. i felt the ending was very weak as well. reminded me of the also ultra lame ending from blue shift, if anyone ever played that . . there is no excuse for the game being so short and the ending so lame . with halo 2 they can make up the excuse that development time was short (if 3 years is to be considered short) HL2 has been in the works way longer than that
  15. there are alot of easter eggs on this stick . the site to find out about them is http://www.jbrain.com/vicug/gallery one of the eggis is a pic of the development team including the mastermind behind the stick jeri ellsworth [/url]
