      Maybe I have few money that's why they only get $1.98.

    So we will have digital games only?

     

    Not everybody can buy games up to 155.00 GB of data.

     

    Myself I have internet with limited of 10 GB each month.

     

    That's why I prefert physical games.

      Dang - 10GB a month? I use that up in a few minutes every day! I'm spoiled with my unlimited fiber optic 1 gigabit connection...

      What is your provider?

      Havok69

      Verizon Fios. I have fiber optic right to my house and then a short Cat 6 connection to my router. Only $79 a month - very reasonable.

      A phone is a computer without a keyboard.  A car is a computer with wheels and an engine.  Modern TVs are computers without keyboards.  Your "smart toaster" is a computer with heating coils.  Pretty much everything these days is a computer without a keyboard...

  6. I played Root Beer Tapper on Colecovision today.

     

    Geez! This level lags because the background animates.

    It would be wiser to not animate the background and the gameplay won't suffer.

      It's a real missed opportunity on the Colecovision. Not a very good effort.

    3. eddhell

      eddhell

      I always felt the Coleco was clunky feeling in controller response and not well refined system overall - just rushed out to compete in the video console wars, the only thing that was better than others were some of the graphic abilities

       

    4. eddhell

      eddhell

      let's test my theory:  Drop a Coleco and 2600 from a second-story balcony, set remains on fire for 60 seconds, dowse with bucket of water, let dry outside for 72 hours, then tell me which one still works.

      The Atari VCS is a PC (not even that since it doesn't even exist yet)... lol is a PC a game console? And that was not what I was joking about... it's that the VCS is well... a scam...

      So where's the keyboard?

       

      All I can see is AtariVCS is included with a joystick.

      "Multiplayer", I wonder how that is actually defined? It sounds like it means it requires more than one player, but the games are all "1 to up-to-8" players.

  11. Doom on SNES

      I never even owned DOOM on SNES!  It's on my SD2SNES I'm sure and well, back in the day I had a hack (For my Multi Game Hunter, which I still have (2 actually, one for SNES one for Genesis)) called Smurfy (although I think the name was supposed to be SMURFKiller)  where ya killed Smurfs, but I'm pretty sure that was DOOM...Lessee,  could this reply be any more run-on-sentence-y-ish?

    3. johannesmutlu

      johannesmutlu

      Snes doom just sucks,the only thing that stands out is the music,

      and since it was only 2MB, and the super fx2 chip only runs at 21mhz, not only did they had to cut corners but the game also runs very choppy and unresponsive,

       

      what they should,ve done was overclock the super fx2 chip to 33 or 40mhz, put the misuc and sound data on a saperate rom chip while putting all graphical and ai data on the super fx2 rom chip, sothat they could,ve had more space left to also have textures for floors & ceiling ,add 3D sprites etc,,, and add an infight in the ai,

       

      i bet that the game would,ve looked,play and sounded much better on snes.

       

      somebody needs to stand up and improve the snes version, why other games wich have only minor issues in wich nobody bothers about do get an improvement treatment,is beyond me.

    4. Serguei2

      Serguei2

      Agreed.

       

      But at the same time, a better snes doom would cost $100 or closer to a neo-geo game price.

      Why does Twitter even need a specific set of browsers? Use a <FORM> to send stuff to a server, then return it as part or an HTML document when a browser requests it. Is that too hard? :?

      At the time I had an Atari computer with the 48K but playing some great graphical games.   I heard they had 640K which was impressive, but then saw they didn't have near the graphical or sound ability of my Atari and didn't think much more of it.   Just a business machine .... yawn!

      It was a joke about 2600 adventure, in the status bar I could not see any image so it was just a response based on the text... which was kind of vague without the image ;)  All in good fun, no worries. FWIW I've always wanted to put more time into Montezuma's Revenge.  I've played it a bit on the Apple 2, but never got very far.

      Perhaps that is uncommon for Canada to have small flags so nobody (on eBay) are selling it.

      Canadian Tire usually has Canada Flags.  I bought some Canada flags off amazon, I think 12 x 18", I also got two old Dominion Canada flags from Amazon as well.

      Bad luck. They don't have a Canada flag. So I canceled the rest of the orders.

      I downloaded Audacity https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html and tried it. It works with some degree of success. 

       

      I will give it another try to get better results.

       

      It's cool to turn mono songs into stereo.

       

      The drawback doing this is the songs lose their charms.

      NERO has Wave Editor that has a stereo processor on it that gives a great stereo effect!  "GREEN ONIONS" by Booker T. & The Mgs sounds great!

      Oh, right. Through that catalog of theirs, but yeah... Electronics Boutique, Software Etc., Babbages, Toys R Us, Sears, Montgomery Ward, and many others all carried and sold the TG-16. TRU even sold the Duo. They closed them out at 199.00 in the mid 90's, but I asked the store manager if they'd be willing to sell me one for $100, and they did! They had one left NIB was all, besides the store display.

      No, sold the Duo a long time ago. I now have a briefcase PC Engine with CD-ROM though. And I don't remember seeing Magical Chase sold in stores, only TZD. Bought one from them, along with Air Zonk and Bonk III. For less than $70ea. too!
