Is it cheating to say Galaxian 3?

I would buy one of those just to play Turok...

It's often found in forums where procedural issues such as how to fix a certain type of sink are being discussed. Brought to you by Carls Jr.

It's been demonstrated using real-time MRIs that the emotional part of the brain grows to maturity in teenagers before the section which "tames" it. This goes a long way towards explaining the sudden, unpleasant personality change that's often seen between the ages of 13 and 18 or so. Very strong emotions linked to relatively trivial things which any mature person would see as unwarranted. Lock'em all up and make 'em fight robots I say...

Major Havok, Space Duel...

Yeah, Unix ain't good for nothing! Har har...

I saw this thing as well and it sadly seems to only run multiple choice trivial games, etc. No real motion- filled games in the sense that most of us would be interested in.

Everything was great for Minter until he complained about his sales. He's a super-skilled coder but NO ONE hits a home run every time. It seems he had too much to drink that night and "posted under the influence" (PUTI?)

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be ordering that one for my Sis.

Yeah, I was only kidding, but one could actually argue that the ColecoVision was an MSX at heart as well... What about the Apple/Bandai Pippin?

I can't believe no one's mentioned the awesome game systems from Casio- the PV-1000 and the Loopy!

It could be that something on the Fable disc or a release of dust has blocked the lenses on both machines.

Just saw this on TV in New York and my first thought was "I'd rather have the Atari"

You're out of you mind. That game was, is, and will always be awesome! I still prefer it to every subsequent F-Zero game. I like Pilotwings too. It has some great BGM. Totally true. F-Zero I'd one of the few she's games which I feel is still highly playable. Pilotwings is a blast as well.

For some reason, going into preferences and re-pointing the program to the folder where the ROMs are kept made it suddenly see them in my case. YMMV...

For some reason, it indexes every ROM you could have, not just those you actually do have. So, just launch those actually present. If you Google it, you'll find a helper app for it about three links down. Sorry I can't be of more help right now but I'm away from my main machine.

MacMame is sadly no longer in development. Check out "Mame OS X". Works well with currently hardware. Make sure to turn on OpenGL rendering in the prefs for a hefty speed up.

Didn't someone make a 2600 cake and then leave it outside in the rain to swell and take on a swollen, monsterous, mass of a shape? I vaguely remember, and it still haunts my dreams...

When I was in sixth grade or so, the father of one of my friends would import all manner of cheap toys, crappy calculators and stuff to sell, where I don't know. One day he brought out what appeared to be a bootleg or proto copy of Space Jockey (before it was known on the US market) and told me to show it off to people I knew and gather pre-orders for it, at only $5! A lot of people became interested but I can't recall any actual sales coming from it, probably due to the lack of follow-up on my part, which dictates a lot of super-young behavior.

The DreamCast version is one of my favorite games, with a best time of 1:28 on Venice Canals. I never played the N64 version, which the programmers of the arcade version said was their favorite.

Major Havoc Advanced D&D Treasure of Tarmin Ice Trek

Maybe they should try to make her outfit look a little more worn-in so that there's a bit more realism to the image. Looks cheap and fake. She's okay but could have been found in any local mall.

Space Ace for the Jaguar has a glitch which offsets the timing between when the animation shows a move is needed with when the computer is expecting it, making it completely unplayable. It could drive a man to seek revenge... Sweet, sweet revenge.... "Sssnake" for the 2600 is quite the abomination as well...

Was it TeleTubbys?

The anger and disappointment 2600 Pac Man brought to me was truly horrific and scarring. I understood just how bad it was within moments. Someone should still be brought to justice for that crime... I personally feel that they made it suck in an attempt to make people buy the 5200. SwordQuest was also a super-disappointment for me. Did anyone playtest this piece of crap or was the marketing department just allowed to run wild with no concern for gameplay?
