I second Airlock, I think it's fun. I like Defender too.

You guys are both mistaking YOUR tastes for EVERYBODY's taste.

I don't consider Wii Fitness an insult, but some people feel that Nintendo is branding gamers as overweight couch potatoes that never get any exercise.Those people are dumb. Going by that logic, every product aimed at fitness from a sweatband to a Nautilus machine is an insult to gamers. It's utter nonsense.

That guy should get a painful rectal infection. He's not funny at all.
-
It was harder than many of the earlier missions but I did it on the second try. Like most AW levels, capturing properties to get funds is the most important task. You need a lot of indirect units like the anti aircraft missiles and rockets on that level.

Yes, I bought James Bond thinking it would involve fighting guys on a train like the fake screen shots that circulated.
-
I hate Wii Fit anyway, it's an insult to many gamers.I don't get it. Please explain how it's an insult to anyone?
-
I'd toss Barnstorming, Spider fighter and Dolphin for Stampede, Frostbite and Beamrider. I'd also replace Pitfall with Pitfall II since it's superior game based on the same concept/play mechanic.

[sarcasm] Yeah, I also loved all of those games where everything was always in the same place and there didn't seem to be one drop of randomness. Replayable games suck hot stinky butt cheese! And instead of continuing from the spot where I died, I loved it when a game sent me back many levels or all the way back to the beginning of the game. It was so much fun replaying the same levels over and over again just to get to the level I wanted to play! [/sarcasm]Again, that's not something that only applies to Nintendo.
-
[sarcasm]Absolutely! I will never be able to get enough of the same games rehashed over and over and over![/sarcasm]Large portions of the entire video game industry's output is sequels and rehashes. It's complete nonsense to act like it's only Nintendo that does it.
-
If this generation really wants a return of the dark ages of Nintendo driven gaming, then I guess they deserve it.[sarcasm]yeah because the last time was soooooooooo terrible[/sarcasm]
All of those great games on the NES and SNES... who the hell would want that?!?!?!?!?

I'm playing thru AW:DoR right now too, up to #24 with some practice battles in there too. I haven't even tried it online yet, I'm more interested in the main game. I enjoyed all of the games with 2 being my fav. DS is probably the worst of them because of the ridiculous CO power overuse but it's not a bad game at all. The AW series is my second favorite series after Super Mario Brothers.

That tabletop is nice, I like the small footprint but the price is ridiculous. It seems like it should be in the $1200-1500 range.
-
I got it for $9.99 new on the Gamecube. I had a lot of fun with it. For a budget title, I'd say it was killer.

1) How many video games is "enough"?
This is unknowable
2) How many ports of a given video game is "enough"?
This is unknowable
C) Is Adventure for the VCS the best commercially released video game of all time?
Not even close although it is good.
IV) Should the industry move to flash-based carts to solve the load time problem of modern games?
I would like that.
E) If you spend more than five minutes per day thinking about your video game collection, do you have a problem?
No
6) Is it wrong to feel as though damaging a video game, box, or instruction manual is a betrayal of future gamers that should be punishable by public flogging?
No but it's silly

OK, reduced the complexity a bit and added a slight blur to the wall. The contrast has to stay about the same because otherwise it almost disappears when it goes to print.
-
I don't think modern games are any easier or harder but the controls are definitely more complex which irritates me most of the time. All games should adhere to easy to learn, difficult to master but many modern games are not easy to learn without serious amounts of play time first.
-
OK, made some fixes and added some stuff. I'm undecided about the wall. I can't decide if I like the stark all black background better.
-
Ok, Joe... you aren't going to believe this, but I wonder if the "lines through" the Frantic logo will look great here now. I think the white behind help it look less like the DVD poster for a slasher movie. VERY NICE!I'll try it out and post it. I might add some walls or floor too but I don't want it to get too busy. Originally I had a female prisoner lying at the guys feet but it was too busy and it looked like he was just going to trip over her.
-
Ah, custom robot...I like this one much more.
Me too.
I think I should make the laser go outside the border like the guy now that I look at it again. That's the part I like best, that the guy is running right out of the box. -
I went in a little different direction...

No time this week but I squeezed in one game

It's not a hard drive program like 64HDD. It's for transferring .d64 images to actual floppies. I wish I could get 64HDD to work since I bought the CD version for $17 but it needs a FAT formatted drive and I only have NTFS. I tried it with a FAT flash drive and it sort of worked but the transfers would hang up and never fully load into the C64. I haven't given up on it yet, I think I have room in that box for another drive so maybe I'll put a FAT formatted drive in there and see if that helps. I have to look through my spare drives and see if i have something to fit the bill.
You'd reckon someone would have developed an APE workalike by now. Dealing with "real" floppies is just slow and painful.There is but it requires a serial connection which on this box is already taken up by my SIO2PC connection for my 800XL and APE
APE is great, super easy to use and configured itself. -
After ordering a CD of 64HDD and not being able to get it to work right I'm trying something else to get some more games for my C64.
I downloaded CBM4win and plan on setting it up when I get home tonight from work. Before I do, I was wondering if there is a preferred setting in the PC bios for the LPT port? I have options for One Way, SPP, ECP, EPP. I use Win XP and I don't use that port for anything else if that matters. I read through the website for it but can't find anything about a preferred setting.

Did anyone make you believe any false things about 2600 games as a kid?

In the manuals for the three CV homebrews that Scott Huggins has done, I included the "Fun of Discovery" paragraph in the text.
I always thought Coleco put that in there so that when you found a glitch or a bug, it could be explained away by the Fun of Discovery. That makes it a "feature" not a bug!
