Movie critics don't have to be directors in order to criticize films. If you restrict the ability to be critical only to people who can replicate the product, you essentially say you refuse to be criticized. Not to split hairs, but as far as the XM, nothing has been physically produced, as far as I can tell. So being critical of it or praising it, is still at this point, praising/criticizing an idea. If people want others to be less critical of it, then the device needs to actually exist in people's hands so they can see if it lives up to all the high claims made of it. Decent movie critic analogy, but I see one problem with it.. Movie critics aren't going to repeatedly review the same movie over snd over.. They watch it, publish their review, and move on to the next movie.. It's fine to not like a product, and voice your opinions.. What was rubbing everyone the wrong way was page after page of seemingly wanting others to agree with their viewpoint.. I said it a couple of pages ago, and I guess I'll repeat it again from post 161: I respect that this is a forum, and this is a place for discussion but some of you go way too far... Just page after page of seemingly trying to get people over to your way of looking at it!!! If that's not what the motivation is, I'm completely lost then! I understand you dont like or approve of the the way the XM is being developed, the cost of it, the feature set, or any misc. gripe.. We all get that... Speak your peace, and keep it moving. Geez! It's not been as much fun to come around here lately... C'mon! This makes sense! Think about it!!

If it makes you feel better, he absolutely loves Pac Man Collection.. He gave Countermeasue a B on the 5200.. Maybe this type of game isn't his cup of tea, but seemed to think it was a polished effort overall... You kick ass!!

It seemed like a favorable review to me..

I just picked up Ultra Vortek sealed, Skiing & Snowboarding, and Raiden CIB in really great condition for $30 at a flea market in Laurel, DE.. That store was great! They had a bunch of great classic games & systems!

Is there a cheat code so you have access to all the moves right away? It seems like that would make it fun in 2 player mode.. Is it a fun 2 player game?

I like everything you just said, Curt!

I went ahead and paid the full price. Looking forward to this!

I'm going to pay up when I get paid sometime next week. The end of the month sucks! BTW, I spread the word over at http://videogamecritic.net/ in the classic gaming forum..

Count me in for one of these whenever it is available!

I second the guy who mentioned the 3 ring circus background. I'm not sure how hard that would be. Or maybe a crowd or something? Just a thought. I'm sure whatever you cook up will be great!

Count me in for # 2! I need all the bells and whistles! Thanks for your hard work to everyone involved!

This is too funny!

What good is it being a know-it-all about 7800 coding, if you only use it to be a fucking smart ass on the internet? I may be in the minority, but I think Zylon Bane's posts are hilarious.. They get people wound up, that's for sure..

Hey! That's where I live. I guess I'll have to keep an eye on your marketplace listings..... *points over to the left* Your thingy thinks you live in OH. Fixed!

I think it's a pretty good topic...

You guys are Rockstars to me, though! (BTW, I'm not a beautiful woman, and I'm not going to have sex with you...) Just easing the tension!

This looks really great! Love the graphics!

Uncle Vic is a radio dj from Cleveland. He still makes records, and is regularly featured on the Dr. Dimento show. Some of my friends play in his band. Really cool guy!

I have a copy of white men can't jump, but it's not working (Red Screen of Death) Gorf posted about using a q-tip and contact lens cleaning solution to fix this. It worked great on all my games.. Just make sure you let them dry thoroughly before using them.. Also, he recommended cutting a groove in an old credit card, wrapping it in a t-shirt and using the same cleaner to clean the slot. Worked great for me.. That guy is smart.

Dead on!

I ordered two from here, at the suggestion of some Atari Age members. http://www.1632-sales.zenwebhosting.com/ac...lays.html\ It's slightly different from the original, but it works fine. Also, there was a restriction for minimum order, but I emailed him, and he removed it.
