      He passed away, supposedly from a heart attack.

  2. I'd be rolling into Milwaukee about now if the MGC and whole world wasn't shut down.  :(

      A shame.  I was hoping to run into you again this year!

  3. Forum has been upgraded.  If you spot anything strange or flat-out broken, please let me know.

  4. Was looking at the booths at PRGE, especially the AA one; looks like a monumental amount of work to lug all that stuff (monitors!) out there!  Good on ya' Al.

      I'm still awaiting Albert's triumphant return to MGC.

      It was written by Dr. Worm!

  6. Why do they call it civil unrest? Shouldn’t it be called uncivil unrest? Do you have your two weeks worth of food and bottled water ready, just in case the power goes out and you have to stay in your house for a week or two? :D

  10. Looking forward to #VCFMW tomorrow! Anyone else going to be there? Looks to be very few purple Atari tables compared to the Commodore camp.

      Going to try to be there.  They're screwing around with mandatory overtime at work this weekend. Grrr

  11. To copy Inkys' status. My two Activision overrated carts are, Pitfall II and River Raid. Reasons: Pitfall II the overall Quest feels familiar and dated, with too many ladders up and down. Checkpoints with no kill games, drag on and once the path is memorized, not a big urge to go back.

    River Raid, I like a lot more then Pitfall II, but constantly feel I am re-fueling and slowing the action. Then speeding up too much, leads to crashes. Starting and stopping puts a damper on the excitement.

     

    My two Underrated Activision titles are, Stampede and Dolphin. I like the speed, technique, patience and quick reflexes to play them. Both games fun regardless of memorizing or learning tricks and strategies.

      Pitfall II is easily the best Activision game with HERO a close second.

  13. So Disney is doing a Home Alone reboot.  Is nothing sacred?  John Hughes movies should not be touched.

      I never cared for the home alone movies.

  18. World of Warcraft classic is right around the corner, don't be late to the game and top up on some wow classic gold to stay ahead of the pack

  23. Thinking of turning my rPi 3 into a SIO2PC server for my 65 XE.  Maybe gut my tape drive for a case.

      I'm not concerned with printer emulation at this point.

      I already have an RPi3, so it won't cost me anything.
