    I'm toying with the idea of getting a Raspberry Pi for the primary purpose of playing ST games. I dunno... I've just been getting a jones to play Blood Money, Dungeon Master, Time Bandits...

      Carlsson, I haven't played an ST game since I foolishly sold my system a decade ago. I've just been thinking about all the fun I used to have, and feel like getting back into it. Max, I'm not sure which ST emulator works on the Pi, but I know at least one of them does. The Internets say Hatari works.

    Had to put my cat down this morning. :( He was only 5 but had an autoimmune disease that was untreatable. Goodbye, little friend - see you on the other side. ?

    Jethro Tull is one of those bands where compilations or "greatest hits" just don't cut it. Gotta go for the individual albums to get the best stuff!

      I agree, Save2600! I'm a big fan of Jethro Tull, but it's partially because of Flat, Black, and Circular. Every time I would go to our local used record store (East Lansing, MI) back in the day, I would always find one new JT vinyl album. (and ONLY one new one each time, kinda weird.) It became a game for me. I ended up with 12 records, including the Thick as a Brick version with the fold-out newspaper.

    I'm using my Windows 2000-era laptop (shocked that it's still working) to load Jag games with my Skunk. Played up to level 9 on Doom II, now I'm playing Downfall. Fun weekend!

      Boy, I don't recall. Apparently I've had it since 2011. It's something that was showcased at an eJagfest, since "level 1" is basically two screens with eJagFest and Doom II printed on them. The other levels are, so far, accurate to the Doom II PC levels (though are off a level - IE Jag level 2 is the original's level 1, etc). I have to assume I found it here on AA, so maybe try searching for "Doom II" / "Doom 2" here, going back to the 2011 era.

       

      Or... :)

    Jaguar needs a Christmas themed game.  Just saying.... :)

      Maybe we can just superimpose a Santa hat on the Predator in AvP, or on a Nazi Zombie in Wolfenstein. Y'know, festive!

    I turned 50 years old yesterday. The wife took me to my favourite pub and got me a "boot" of beer - Randy Shandy no less! Yup, they even named a beer after me. Though it is lager mixed with pink lemonade, so I do have to wonder why, when they thought of me, they thought pink lemonade. Still, tasty!

      Or a Sega Nomad... tho it might be a wise handheld. Haven't had many conversations with it.

    Need a few laughts for cheap? My road trip comedy Driving Crazy, about two friends who drive across the USA to pick up a Crazy Climber arcade game, is only 99 cents for the eBook until Sunday. https://www.amazon.com/Driving-Crazy-Randy-D-Pearson-ebook/dp/B07196BD34

      Excellent! Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! I brought up my Kindle yesterday, and it had a Science Fiction and Fantasy magazine that I forgot I had a subscription to, so I read a story.

    So... my funny road trip story Driving Crazy might get made into a movie! Been contacted (twice now) by a movie production studio! http://atariage.com/forums/topic/159897-driving-crazy-my-debut-novel/page-4

      Thanks! Just having someone see that potential in it is exciting, but an actual movie? Wow!

      It's over 3 dozen stories with lots of different topics. I have a couple of drunken adventures, two ghost stories, stories about a psychic, some about a homeless guy... most are either funny or have humor in them, but many are serious. It's a little bit of everything.

    Things I dislike about living in the country - opening up the dryer after it beeps and finding a clean, blow-dried dead mouse inside. So now my clothes are getting a bonus washing and drying.

    1. Atari Smeghead

      Atari Smeghead

      Yeah, not the best way to go. Under normal circumstances, I'm an old softy. When my cat catches a mouse in the house(and I can get it from her, which is not easy) I scoop it up in a cup, drive it out in the country, and let it go. No point this time.
