    BRO! Nice! jealous!

    Yeah, Ed Logg and Eugene Jarvis are probably my favorite 80s game designers (at least from the US).

    I'd have so many questions...

    I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Mr. Jarvis regarding Defender when I was working on it for the 7800.  Very cool person.

    • I am not privy to what happens with most Amazon electronic returns. If the one I returned ends up in a dumpster that would truly suck, and I would have had second thoughts. You hit me with this one because I am weird. My wife threw out my old floor lamp and I kept saying he is in the dumpster and is sad....

    :D

    This is like the most ridiculous thing in the world. I realize some people have issues with these things, but this is like telling everyone not to eat peanut butter because someone somewhere might go into anaphylactic shock. I mean, could they not have just been a bit more down to earth and not so absurdly pearl-clutchy and just said something like...

     

    blah blah Adventure and Yars' Revenge are awesome... but people with photosensitivity might want to sit this one out. (there... end it, move on).

    I get a strong feeling this reviewer wasn't born yet for the 2600 back in it's heyday.

  5. Yes.  At $8000 in a fairly common method of bankswitching, you write the bank number to $8000 and that puts that bank (16K) in $4000 to $7FFF

     

    EDIT:  I have to research, but I *think* it's anywhere you write the bank number from $8000-$BFFF...  I just use $8000 because it's the very beginning. :)

    Good news about the 7800 side of things!

     

    A suggestion about any future access to internal settings via a menu or other means. Turning on the machine without a cartridge then either directly shown or a message to press a button/switch to activate it whilst still attempting to read a cart (that's how it works now right ??).

    No cartridge inserted should play Kiloparsec like our custom BIOS does :P

    Time to part with the parts :P

     

    Parts parted with.

     

    ...but what parts have you parted with?  Were they parts of the parts? Or were they the whole part? :P If you part with part of the parts you haven't parted with all of the parts...

     

    :D

     

    I can vouch for Shawn as well.  He is definitely someone who can be trusted.
