Cybergoth

Phew... even if you hate it, you should at least try Johnny Cash or one of the Hank Williams. Maybe it's just the goth side in me liking songs like "You'll never get out of this world alive", but that's damned cool stuff Uhm... back to the subject, does anyone know, while the C64 version was called "Burning Rubber"? Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! Sorry, but I always thought that "Herzog Zwei" sucked just like "Z" from the Bitmap Brothers. You conquer a base, the enemy conquers this base back, you conquer it again, the enemy conquers it again... go on like that for hours. Total crap. I don't think "Herzog Zwei" is the godfather of RTS either. Actually I rather a wonder why Blizzard and Westwood carried on doing such a game after seeing that crap. All other Tecnosoft games are far superior, think the Thunderforce series, think Elemental Master. Or try Warcraft or Dune 2 if it must be RTS. Or if it must be a strategy game Genesis conversion, how about War Song? General Chaos? Cannon Fodder? Actraiser? Almost any game is better than "Herzog Zwei", even Kemcos crappy GBA RTS "Mech Platoon" is already better than that... Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! Excellent reading, thanks for the pointer! Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! It's the only game even my mother can play Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! I need some advice playing A-Team. What I don't get is which of the guys I should shoot and which not. Or in other words, what is my goal in here? Prevent building the rocket or speed it up? Which sprites should I shoot: [ ] The guy on top [ ] The guy in the black dress [ ] The guys building the rocket [ ] The guys desrtoying the rocket And does anyone have any clues about what the other two scenes are all about? I mean, I know how to play them, but are there any special goals? And what am I doing there? Questions, questions... Anyway, excellent & fun game. Greetings, Manuel

Hi Stan! So, if all this already failed, give it one last try by soldering thin shiny lines over all the contacts (Beware of Short-circuits!). Chances normally are 50:50, but especially with Activision cartridges this seems to work more often. Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! Uh-hm. Maybe someone still remembers this, its less than 30 days old: http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13497 Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! At the moment it's Air-Sea Battle. I'm training for the world record Greetings, Manuel

Hi there!

I got that right, Stan owes me a beer now? Greetings, Manuel

Uhm... so you like Skeet Shoot?! Greetings, Manuel

Fein! Ich habe gerade extra nochmal nachgeguckt, ist immer noch kein Score eingetragen. Gefragt ist Variante #12. Ich schaffe da momentan so um die 60 Punkte, werde aber auch noch üben! Grüße, Manuel

Huhu! Hatte gerade noch eine Idee! Wir könnten auf der Börse versuchen, einen schönen Rekord für Air-Sea Battle zu erspielen. Bei TG ist nämlich noch gar keiner eingetragen. Wäre bestimmt ein lustiger Zeitvertreib. Und genug Zeugen hätten wir vor Ort auch Vielleicht hat Marc ja wieder ein VCS am Laufen und Lust und Laune, dann könnten wir an seinem Tisch ein cooles Event veranstalten! Grüße, Manuel

Huhu! Oh... Wäre echt schade, wenn Du nicht dabei wärst! Matty will ich diesmal auch sehen! Grüße, Manuel

Hi there! It's been almost half a year, so I'm updating my GBA top 5: 1. Castlevania 2 2. Mario Kart 3. Advance Wars 4. Golden Sun 5. X-Men Reign Of The Apocalypse Not too much changes, I hope X-Mas will finally see some more really excellent releases... Greetings, Manuel

Hi Z28in82! While I can't remember any special strategy, I can probably help you finding the DSS cards. I have a list where they are located. Just tell me which you are missing. Other than that, Matty is right, just try to level-up Simon a little. Observe what the enemy is doing, maybe there are safe-spots, or attack schemes you can easily avoid. BTW: I'm just playing the sequel, it's sooooo cool! Finally closing the GBA-Crap-Gap! Greetings, Manuel

Well, Edtris was the first real homebrew for the 2600. It was programmed completely from scratch in 1995. Greetings, Manuel

Ehrensache! Ganz so viele Spiele wie letztes Mal werde ich mir wohl nicht kaufen, aber ich will diesmal endlich ein Coleco haben! Grüße, Manuel

Well, if you're already in the catalog section where Marble Craze is displayed, you can't do any wrong there, I'd say... Greetings, Manuel

I think Simon said ( ) he's working on scans of this article himself, as well as another article about homebrews in "Maniac!", where MK was mentioned too. Greetings, Manuel

I just had a crazy idea. Totally Off Topic but here it goes: On Mario Kart on the GBA, you can transfer Your "ghosts" for the Time Trials via the link cable. Now, my idea was - instead of transfering the data from GBA to GBA, one should find a solution to transfer it to a PC and back! Consider this: GBA PC Twingalaxies Hey, this'd be the coolest thing on earth! You could just download the current world record "ghost" to your GBA, beat it and pass it back. All 100% valid, no cheating possible! Phew... sooooo cool! Greetings, Manuel

Hi there! Check http://www.rareware.com now! GBA "Donkey Kong Coconut Crackers", "Banjo Kazooie", "Diddy Kong Pilot" & "Sabre Wulf" all dead & gone ?!?

So far I made these criteria: - The jingle/tune should be longer than 5 seconds (You'll be surprised how much stuff drops out here ) - One jingle/tune per game If you take a look at all 20+ games beginning with 'A' for example, you'll quickly realize that there's only "Acid Drop" & "A-Team" worth ripping. It's really less than 10% of the complete library that has tunes worth ripping. If you really want to give it a try, I'd suggest starting with a 4K game I can post you my current framework for this project in case, if you like. The graphic display is reduced to a minimum, so one can concentrate on the tunes. :-) Greetings, Manuel

Patience... If you find people that are willing to contribute ripped tunes, send them my way Greetings, Manuel

Sort of. With SID files a Metaformat is created. They won't run on the original target anymore, but on emulation. What I have in mind would run both on the real thing and on emulation. To stay in the same picture, instead of SID files, I'd be rather creating something like the "Galway Selector" Well, the first fruit was the music selector with 8 Parker tunes built into the Star Fire intro. While this was more or less a gimmick only, I'm currently working on a pure music selector with 16 tunes. Those are good ideas from you. Except instead of the the names, I'd prefer displaying a trademark sprite of each game. Might be funier, or? Currently I've 10 tunes/jingles ripped, right now I'm working on "Acid Drop". Ah... so much ideas, so little time... maybe for X-Mas Greetings, Manuel
