      Yeah man! If you can overlook the bugs by sticking to the main/side quests, it's an absolutely gorgeous game! Truly can't wait to see the an iteration utilizing voice interaction with AI NPCs with intelligent dialogue/interaction.

      I checked. It was the original Bat Out Of Hell.

  10. Yeah why not? I'll add Ubuntu Budgie alongside Win 10 on this old repurposed Sony Vaio Laptop ?. At least it looks really nice and should be at least a little smoother on this Core2Duo / 4gb machine. ?

  12. It is funny how often I forget to fire up MAME to compare the arcade version of home ports, soooo many great arcade classics at our disposal in MAME. It is always interesting to see how different the original arcade version is since those were typically designed to challenge you to keep trying while consuming your coins and so home versions though maybe not always comparable graphically sometimes made up for it with additional features. I will definitely check out the link you mentioned. All these arcade games at my disposal, literally thousands so no matter how many times I fire it up even after all these years there is always something new to check out or great classics to re-experience. Puzzle, side scrolling shooters, racing, fighting, obscure Japanese and even clone and knock off games, though I COULD do without all the Mahjong titles I don't need. ?

      So that's a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken stuffed with sausage, and the whole thing wrapped in bacon?

       

      That sounds like something to be thankful for.

      They say it ran its course, but there's lot left to it...What happens when it releases?  What happens if it doesn't?  I hate the tacobox but I needed somewhere to vent my anger...I don't understand

      Actually, I think it got locked because we're supposed to start a new one; the old thread took for-e-e-ever to load. . . thread was going into taco overload.

  18. One of the biggest lies any Youtuber will tell, is this opening line or intro announcement : 
    "I DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THIS VIDEO".........
    Seriously, knock it off ???

  19. Happy Canada Day EH! To all my Canadian brothers and sisters ! ?? #CanadaDay2020

      I dig Windows 7.   I hope they don't quit supporting it.

    3. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      Well it's been perfect for a couple about 3 months so far. I image the OS regularly so I am fearless ?

      As for Windows 7, well of course the time will come when it is no longer supported, but I have always rolled with the latest with minimal issues, at least nothing I could not deal with.

  22. Woo Hoo! I am now a member of the Atariage DISCORD server and I have no idea what that means honestly. Maybe I will figure it out at some point ?

    1. GoldLeader

      From whenever I've tried it (not lately),...It was like a complicated "Chat".   I'll have to try it again, but on the old one, there was subjects for various interests (i.e. Atari 2600 or Arcade Games, each like an individual chat room),  but that was probably just how that particular Discord deal was set up...If it's set up as just a place for AtariAgers,  Maybe it'll be Great!   I'll have to try it again so I know...

  23. Whelp, time to dispose of the old VHS and tapes of old home movies! ??

    1. save2600

      save2600

      Take it you transferred them to some other format already? I did the same years ago, but kept my originals for the hell of it. Just in case.

    2. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      Yep, years ago bought the cheapest low end standalone DVD-r recorder I could find and did just that, sure nothing was enhanced and it would be yet another generation of recording but I figured at least once on optical media it would no longer deteriorate (well outside of Bit rot or something) and also easier to load into video editing programs or players. I can back up or even make disc images of it all. The original tapes have sat collecting dust since.

    RE: N64 ? I am a huge Resident Evil games fan so of course even though my first experience of it was on Playstation I simply HAD to own a original N64 cart as shown. It's just loose cart and I have not played it in years (Hope it still saves?) but it is one of only a handful of original N64 carts I still own as I use my Everdrive mostly. Still, look forward to trying it out again soon, what they achieved on a N64 cart was impressive. ?

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      Just showing not selling or trading, also have a question and appreciate your comments, thoughts, opinions ??Now, I typically use my Everdrive but I have a pretty small but ok collection of original carts. I think I got most in a lot some time back, Ogre Battle 64 was sent to me from a fellow youtuber who said it was a good one. I would definitely play most of these happily though Quest 64 I have heard is not so great? Also, I am not much of a Pokemon fan in any capacity but I think it requires a separate accessory pak which I have but it is missing the Mic that plugs into it. Anyone know if I can plug any mic with a plug that fits? Maybe the mic from my Dreamcast vmu for playing Seaman? That would be a funny alternative. Of course Shadows of the Empire, Resident Evil 2 and Goldeneye are my favorites, of the rest does anyone have a favorite or even one you cannot stand?

      I could not get into DK64....Just thought putting Donkey Kong into 3 dimensions was a bad idea.
