    It's probably nearing too much when you open a storage container, see an unexpected game and think "When the hell did I buy that?"

     

    Also, when you buy a game, go to put it in a storage location or shelf, and see you already have one. Or two. Which, to prevent happening again, you start a spreadsheet. Then your wife asks "Are you really entering your games into a spreadsheet right now?"

    Heh, this seems to be an evergreen topic -- I found this when looking for the 2018 version.

     

    Hah, wow. What a necro-bump! Could be a record breaker.

     

    Well, when this thread was new, my collection was definitely nowhere near where it is now! And everything else was so different. No flatscreens. The 'big' TV was 32". What's HDMI? Hah suckers, my work pays for a T-1 line to my house, 1.5 megabits down AND up, baby!

    SainT: enjoy the summer while you can. The Jaguar is nearly 25 years old, we can wait for the SD cart a bit longer.

     

    I've spent the last three weeks working 7 days a week. That, the heat and the bright sun with clear sky outside (something that rarely happens where I live) makes even a indoors-type guy like me angry to be stuck inside.

     

    It _IS_ 25 years old. The latest Retro Gamer mag has a 2 page blurb. And that makes me feel old. But so does everything else now. :)

     

    Ok... Fine, November '93. Technicality...

    Waiting for KFC to get the inevitable cease and desist...

    Although really, all they should need to do is put the phrase "All IP shown is the trademarked property of their respective owners and is depicted for illustration purposes only" on their video, and they should be good to go.

     

    (Feel free to make jokes about how KFC's console is somehow actually more believable than Atari's.)

     

    Well that's just a weird coincidence. We had KFC for dinner last night!

     

    Pretty sure that's 2600 Pac-Man sound effects when that scene pops up too.

    What is the the over / under on total number of posts on this thread ? :0

     

    A co worker mentioned she was having fish tacos for dinner..

     

    I thought of this thread...

     

    Weird :0

    It will go as long as the project is still alive. The Chameleon thread lost its steam when it was finally cancelled.

    Hah! You gave enough clues to remind me of that damn game.

    And yes, I have also watched the walkthroughs on youtube.

    I spent hours wandering aimlessly through that one many years ago. It haunted me.

    -The controls. Eh, I kind of miss the precision of Tempest 2000 here. This game incorporates momentum into the controls, so I find myself kind of doing this swinging around motion. Kind of gliding and never actually stopping, so you swing back and forth to grab the powerups. I'm sure I'll get use to it, but prefer the classic controls for now.

     

    Maybe Nuclear Pacman discovered why I don't like the thumbstick if this also applies to the D-Pad. You have to apply opposite motion to stop, it is definitely less precise.

    Dang. Should have started reading some of the early reviews and comments for the PC version first. Apparently issues with refresh rate lock and no options to customize controls.

     

    Eh, I would have bought it anyway though.

    i recovered my old atari from my parents and found a concorde video spelcassette with a little label saying megamania on it.

    i googled megamania and i remember playing it.

    i couldnt confirm it is working.

    i have not found the powersupply to the console.

    if it works and its megamania on it it could be a totally new discovery.

    what if it is a holy grail with only 1 out there?

     

     

    How many more threads are you going to spam this to?
