    Playing Namco Museum on Gameboy Micro. Dang this screen is tiny.

      I'm also not fond of the pink chrysanthemum and ladybug faceplate...

      I found myself holding it very close to my face.

      If you put a blanket over your head and use a magnifying glass, it's like virtual reality.

    Just carried a 113 lb. 32" TV across the first floor, up a flight of stairs and across the second floor. And boy are my arms tired.

      No help, no scratches.

      I bet the hard part was figuring out how to hold on to it and not the weight. I can carry a lot of weight but some things you just can't get your arms around.

      Luckily, it has some sorta handholds on the top/back. They're made for holding it on it's back while being carried by two people, but I was able to lift and carry it by those. Awkward to say the least. But, hanging 100+ lbs. on just my fingers for that long is not something I want to do on a regular basis.

    Picked up a 60" HDTV this weekend. In and of itself that doesn't mean much for my classic gaming, but it does free up a 32" CRT for that.

      I think anything from the size of an old computer screen up to a 27" is ideal for classic gaming. Never gamed on a 5", but that would be interesting. :)

      I did once play the VCS on a small portable LCD TV, like 4' in 4:3 format. It was great.

      I used to play on a 13" tv until it died. NOw I play on a 19"TV and I wonder how I ever played on such a smaller screen.

    Just spotted on craigslist in an ad for Atari games: "To the guy who bought Air Raid from me this morning please answer my messages and return me the game I didn't know the value of the game I will give you your money back and $100 more thanks"

    Thought last night of a long-out-of-touch friend I played a lot of Atari with back in my school days. He was one day older than me. Searched the internet to see what I could find. Found a picture of his grave...

      Damn that sucks! Sorry to hear that happened.

    Reading SOP's. Yay.

      Is that like reading TPS reports?

      Pretty much.

    Been slacking in my exercise lately. Made up a little today with a 13+ mile hike. http://runkeeper.com/user/254463070/activity/78774000

      That's great! I ran 2 miles last Mon, Wed, and Fri. This week will be 3,2,3 or more.

    PLC programming today. No games in sight. Though I did once find a reference to somebody controlling a pinball machine with a PLC.

    1. Bryan

      I do PLC work too. I hate it, but it pays the bills.

    Ran my first half marathon today: 2:33.27 . . . owie owie owie. Why did I have to buy a house with stairs?

    1. BigO

      BigO

      Thanks.

      I'd like to, but starting my running career at 46 (47 next week) with two bad knees...I don't think a full in the cards. I think I'll have to stick to the trails.

    2. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      What's wrong with your knees? Cartilage trouble?

       

    3. BigO

      Basically, yes. Other than walking on flat level ground, pretty much anything I do is against medical advice.

    A little Tac-Scan and Kaboom action tonight.

    1. Grig

      Grig

      Superb. Great games. Try playing Kaboom with jittery paddles. Gives the game a whole new experience.

    Okay, so the Genesis 32x that I've pieced together over several years (unit, power supply, cable, cartridge) work. Now what?

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      I like Space Harrier and Afterburner on that

       

    2. BigO

      I like Space Harrier on the SMS. If I had it for this, I might find the 32x to be of value.

    3. atarian63

      atarian63

      I really like my 32x.Get an

      everdrive-MD and play it all!

    I found a brand new, still shrinkwrapped ColecoVision controller that I had no recollection of. I have too much stuff, apparently.

    1. Ransom

      Ransom

      LOL. I know how it is! Time to sell some stuff off.

    2. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      Agreed. When I brought back out my collection, I found stuff I didn't even know I had.

  16. BigO

    Impressed with how well Droid2600 works.

  17. BigO

    Gonna spend a few minutes blasting some Commie Mutants from Space, thanks to my Harmony Cart.
