      Awesome!  Love the pic!  I'm guessing there is at least a beer out of frame there somewhere too...(Tell me if I'm right).   Cheers!

  6. Has there ever been a CLOCKWORK ORANGE based videogame? If not WE NEED IT! Not sure what genre, RPG? SURVIVAL HORROR? How about in VR? Think of the glorious possibilities! ?? OK maybe its just me that wants this.....?‍♂️

      It should obviously be a beat´em up. :)

      One of my favorite movies of all time.  Would be a great beat em up game with some driving combat and urban exploration thrown in.  Maybe a few prison levels?  Yeah the sexual violence would probably have to go....but still...it should have a game.  I mean the Warriors got one; and Clockwork Orange is a much better movie. 

  7. Life is funny, I recently posted about finding a nice BLUE KONAMI JUSTIFIER GUN FOR SUPER NINTENDO in my collection storage but disappointed to find it was only for one game Lethal Enforcers, my curiosity got me, sure I can just load the game on my Everdrive but wondered if I had an original cart. After going back and double checking I can confirm I don’t have one, I DO have this game however….yep you guessed it, I don’t have a Super Scope because of course I don’t ?‍♂️?

      Sooooo many great memories with that cartridge growing up Rob. I sure miss my Super Scope 6 cart that I played hours on end with my Super Scope....Oh man! Now I have to go off Ebay and buy me a copy now. :)

       

      Thanks Rob, this made my day. :thumbsup:

      I have Lethal Enforcers, but not the Justifier. It is a real shame too, because my 5 year old nephew is borrowing my SNES, and Lethal Enforcers would be one of the few SNES games simple enough that he would really enjoy it.

    4. Lord Mushroom

      Lord Mushroom

      On the other hand, they don´t have a CRT TV, so the Justifier would be useless. We do have a CRT TV here, though.

  8. So, going through some storage boxes I find a nice blue Konami Justifier pistol clearly for the SNES, I was pretty excited but after some research it seems the ONLY compatible game is LETHAL ENFORCERS? REALLY? Seems like such a missed opportunity! ??

    1. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      I need one!  I have one but it's broken, wonder if they can be repaired?  BTW--Lethal Enforcers rocks!

    2. GoldLeader

      Yeah...Only one game?   What were they thinking?   Better give it to me so they learn their lesson.

      It's eerie, isn't it?  Imagine living in a valley, that was completely surrounded by fire and magically survived, with the help of some really clever local fire fighters and much help from all over.  And a good dose of luck.  https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ojai-fire-status-20171207-story.html

  11. Confession to fellow retro gamers - I never really been a big DOOM fan ! ?

      I've never really been a fan of your avatars either...

       

      Just kidding, just kidding. About Doom, I recommend turning the music off. The soundtrack is best listened outside the game, it's a beast by itself.

      You're not alone OSRG! Doom for me gets old before long with its repetitive backgrounds, levels and gameplay. That said, easy to get into and play at least, which is part of its charm. Multi-player Duke on the Saturn was awesome however and so was AvP for the PC in the late 90's. Skipped a lot of other popular 1st person shooters though, like Quake, Heretic, Unreal and Goldeneye for the N64. Redneck Rampage on the PC entertained for a little while though. :D

    4. Hydro Thunder

      Hydro Thunder

      I join you, OSRG.  I have admired the game for what it was, and thought it was done with care.  But it never really took me in.

      I bought Doom 64 for Switch on deep discount...and haven't played it :)  Agree with Kiwi, Duke Nukem 3d was more my style.

  12. I regret never being on some kind of mission leading a team where I could say in a low husky voice "STAY FROSTY!" ?

  13. Just an image captured with the Logitech Webcam at 2:30 am, however, this was using Windows 11 Leaked version running in VMware ??

  14. Installed the recently "leaked" ? Windows 11 and running it in VMware. Ran a Windows 10 activation script to activate it and that worked fine. Weird stuff.?‍♂️

  15. Some sushi, a beer and then a nice long nap. Oddly, five days after my Pfizer vaccination I think I felt a few affects today, in the span of about 10 to 15 minutes I had dizziness / lightheaded, hot flash, instant poop, not diarrhoea thank goodness but let’s just say it all came out rapidly (fear not I was already on the toilet) dry heaves but I didn’t  throw up thankfully, tingly feeling in my hands and forearm, and afterwords all my symptoms seem to subside as quickly as they had hit me. Physically now Feel perfectly fine, we had to run around and do a few errands I just feel, you know, out of sorts, like not fully focused, that floaty feeling, like that out of body type experience where you feel like you’re seeing through the eyes of somebody else but otherwise fine. No more nausea no more sweats, so yeah I will finish this and just have a nice long nap and then I’m sure once I wake up and I will feel my old self again.

      First shot 5 days ago - UPDATE : Well after this I slept for like 12 hours, got up a couple times to pee, considered getting up half way but thought well, I will just lay down again and see what happens and yeah seems I needed more ?so roughly 12 hours sleep but I think I am back to my usual self now, no more brain fog or out of sorts, just needed proper rest to recover. Hope it's over at least until the next Pfizer follow up shot, ?

      Myself I was way more tired from the first shot...

    4. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      It's my FIRST shot guys, sorry for missing that detail. My wife and I went at the same time, for the second we plan to put a span between us JUST IN CASE one of us has too many adverse affects. 

  16. I've not slept in about 21 hours! No real reason, just having one of my weird stints. ? I'll likely crash in the next couple hours.

      Sometimes you just gotta stay up and let the genius pour out. Sleeping will disrupt that.

      You should probably let everyone on FacePlant know.

    3. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      I got just over a solid 5 hours, clearly not enough considering how long I was awake previously but OF COURSE our Condo had it's yearly Fire Alarm drills, timing is a bitch. So of course now I am all wound up again, no doubt will crash again at some point so my "reset" will be delayed ?

      I used to listen to Retrogaming radio all the time - I even have the first 5 years on DVD I got from a Classic Gaming Expo.  Dual Screen Radio was fun, too.  Never tried Passenger Seat Radio though. I hope Shane is doing well.  It's good to hear he's still out there.

      BydoEmpire - Me too, right from the start, Shane and his buddy Bryan Kid Hype Smith (RIP) , I also have some of the Retrogaming Radio DVD's and would frequent the old Retrogaming Radio website often, I even bought a old phat Nintendo DS handheld off Shane. Good guy and good speaker, I listened to many episodes overnight doing security. 

  18. Atariage never fails to amuse me daily throughout the day, the silliness of some threads / topics and what goes on in them regardless of OP's intended purpose. Examples, some people still trying to define what is a "HIT" in the marketplace and Alternate History thread, IE: Coulda , Woulda, Shoulda, WHO CARES? ? Everyone is always passionate about something I guess, endless entertainment. ? Carry on........

      But (Hear me out,...Jus saying...I may write a book or pamphlet or glossy leaflet) What if the 7800 came out 2.3 years earlier and the pack in game was a combo Multicart featuring Asteroids, Ms. Pac Man, and JINKS II: The Wreckoning?  And it included only the EuroPads...Plus paddles,  And then a sequel to Kaboom came out called KaBlooey!! And then Atari used some of their wealth and bought the rights to the Famicom,  Only to prevent its release in North America...Would not it be then also true that Mr. Tramiel would be a hit at parties and everywhere he went people'd say That's him?  There he goes!  Yup!  He's The guy!!

  22. My guilty pleasure BAD BEER ? Let me be perfectly clear friends....IT IS NOT A "GOOD" BEER, I am very aware of this ?THAT SAID, IT IS CHEAP and I will consume it for a quick BUZZ. Prefer Innis & Gunn or Guinness or Grolsch or pretty much any PORT or STOUT. I will definitely take it over a BUD or Coors or any light ass Beer. ?

  24. A couple very "80's" pictures of me ? ? '86 or '87 Graduation, the look, to the boom box behind me to the wacky mushroom pattern wallpaper (my room was originally a kitchen) all scream 80’s. Note - the first picture is heading out to high school graduation dance and second showing my t-shirt is my happy return home.
