  1. Why is the Nintendo Switch so talked about in retro gaming circles? It's not retro, it's a new console!

      @cpuwiz

       

      so what's changed?

    2. Emehr

      Because retro gamers play new stuff too? Crazy, I know.

      I know I play retro games to get something unique, as opposed to the Sgt. McShootaman games that have dominated for so long. Switch is inherently different & unique despite its newness.

       

      Plus Nintendo has a rep for long-term playability & value, so it's a way to buy in cheap before nostalgia jacks up prices in 20 years (maybe).

  2. I'm just going to make a video of me saying "Atari!" and base my kickstarter campaign just on that.

      Leaves me with Sony I guess...But I'm putting an asterix that says I am not endorsed by, related to, representative of, nor licensing anything related to SonyCorp...

  3. I have a great YouTube channel idea: I play video games and say stupid things on the voiceover. We'lll call it "let's play" videos.

      better yet drink while recording then cuss

      For me, I don't want to see someone else play a game I might be (very) interested in...It would ruin the surprise. But there are cases where I want to see a game played just to refresh my memory or hear the music etc., (or maybe I'm otherwise busy) and then it's best with no stupid voiceover at all...

  4. Okay, our next contestant on AtariAge likes to collect cartridges. Tell us more about that...

    1. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      @Jay: Simple as that!

    2. xucaen

      Hi long time listener first time caller. I like to collect cartridges because they harken back to a simpler time when New Wave was new, there was only one Star Trek, and wearing Nikes made you cool.

      @CPUWIZ: "For the record!"

    1. save2600

      save2600

      yep, have seen them in WI too. Bought one years ago, but don't think I won anything

      We finally got lotto a few years ago here in WY, but no scratch games,...Plenty of those just over the border in Colorado...

  7. I'm playing Mad Max, aka "Hooning: the game"

  8. The important fact of the matter is that it's less than 2 months to Midwest Gaming Classic.

  10. Those "arcade classics " 3 and 4 are great, but have zero advertising or web presence.

    1. WIZZARD77

      WIZZARD77

      what arcade classics do you speak of?

  11. I'm starting my own official high score records. I am the only entrant, and I'm #1 on all the games, and no further entries will be accepted. Go me!

      Grats on #1!!

      Since the mid 1980's, I've kept a book of personal records. However I once inherited it from my big brother, so a small share of the records still are his. Only in the case I was close to beating it, I have written down my record. Then again he hasn't had a chance to beat any records since 1986 or so, meaning all games he never played and all those where I beat his record, he can't overcome my score.

    3. RJ

      Use an old school notebook to record your scores

  12. What were you thinking when you pulled that off? I got Nolan Bushnell breathing down my neck for this! Turn in your joystick & buttons, you're off of the Atari Force!

  14. I got rid of my Bill Cosby TI-99/4A gallery on here. Seemed like the right thing to do.

  15. I'm leaving a message on your profile feed.

  16. My rPie3 doesn't run N64 games any better than my RPie1. Hmm. Still choppy & slow.

  17. The joy & reason of Midwest Gaming Classic isn't about the games, but the fact that you aren't alone in your hobby. Also, I am so totally drunk right now.

      Sound pretty level-headed to me.

      That was my thought when I went to my first show in 2004 (the only one I attended as a "civilian" rather than staff member). Compared to what these shows are now it was laughably small and rinky-dink but I thought it was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen. I thought it equally amazing that there were others like me.

  18. Why is there NAMCO and NAMCOT? Make up your mind.

    1. carlsson
    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I kinda like the idea that Namcot is a division within Namco, but no idea...Most of my Famicom games are stamped NAMCOT

    3. ferghead

      ferghead

      NAMCOT is what NAMCO sleeps on when it goes camping.

  19. Yay, stomach flu! Right at the same time I'm trying to quit smoking via vaping.

      Stomach flu sucks but major thumbs up for quitting smoking. Keep with it!

      So far so good with the vaping. Found a flavor & a reliable tank that I can just vape any urges away.

      Vaping has been working great for me, it's been 10 days so far. Piece 'o cake. Good luck!

  20. Pat the NES Punk seems like an angry talk radio show host...over video games?

  21. If you need a quiet place to reflect on your thoughts, any place showing Assassin's Creed will do.

      I avoid H-wood action films. I'd rather watch some random foreign film on Netflix.

    2. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      Eh, just watch a gameplay/cutscene video on YouTube of any Ass Creed games and save yourself the money.

      That bad, huh?

  23. Tomorrow I'll be on my way to Akihabara.

      Cobra Kai

      That's where to go for the video games correct?

      sounds dangerous!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Lots of great retro stuff there as I understand it...I'd be looking for rare Famicom games (Like Huang Di)...

  24. Maybe a new year's resolution would be to make a TI-99/4A game by game podcast instead of going through it in my head.

    1. zetastrike

      Now that would be interesting.

  25. Carly Fiorina, when you take something apart and can't put it back together right.
