[Sonic the Hedgehog AKA Zippy the Porcupine Demo]

When I saw this thread, I'd thought I'd to chip in with an idea for the label art:

What games are still left we haven't Shatnerized? Also should we also try some of the Imagic games since they're part of those Activision compilations?

[Troll Face - My first Atari 2600 ROM]

LOL, I thought about that one! How do you increase sprite height beyond 8 pixels? Also gotta figure out how to do an animation loop.

Reminds me of the devil at the game over screen of Squeeze Box. You could try that. Skip to 1:30

I forgot to mention- look closely for the crackpipe in the Shatnage pic. Do you know where it is?

[Star Castle Arcade Label Contest]

There is no specific font used for it. In the title screen it's just a custom bitmap.

 

Any extended (or wide), non-serif font will do. Something along the lines of Eurostile Extended 2.

Thanks.

What's the font used for the text arcade? It's not shown in the logo download.

[Funny / Stupid / Crazy / Lame Auction Listings]

I've heard about the controversy about the terrible Cheetahmen II Lost Levels game with only two levels:

[Is Alcazar always this hard to find?]

Telegames USA used to sell copies of Alacazar. I wish I didn't send it back for a copy of Jungle Hunt but it didn't work right with the Personal Arcade.

[Atari 5200 on Married With Children]

On a 2600 thread there was mention of spotting an Atari 2600 on a sitcom but I also remember (I could be wrong) there was a 5200 on an episode of Married with Children. The episode was titled, "Naughty but Niece" and the scene was in Bud's room. It looks like 5200 on a dresser or desk in the background with no controllers but headphones are lying on top of it.

You can also barely see the metal contact where the AC plug is supposed to go into. So they're really playing Atari without any power or a cartridge.

“Cartridge and Label look pretty good.” Um, no it doesn't and you want charge $15 for shipping (to Wisconsin) ?

[Nokia NGage with Games]

Updated with specific games wanted.

[What do you collect besides video games?]

I recently came across some sealed Simpsons "Intelli-Tronic" playsets and figures, so another hobby begins.

[Nokia NGage with Games]

Like to get a Nokia N-Gage handheld. Also interested in these games:

Glimmerati

Mile High Pinball

Pandemonium

Rayman 3

The Roots: Gates of Chaos

Super Monkey Ball

Xanadu Next

[What the **** is wrong with me?]

Maybe you need some sort of hobby. Instead of playing games like Minecraft and sorts, you could build a model railroad, or even a slot car track, whatever fancies you. Sure it costs money but it's money worth spent rather than on some games that require green for extra power. Heck, you can even make your own games. I'm using Multimedia Fusion 2, and while my games aren't great, it satisfying to complete a game and have others play it.

[Colecovision White label?]

I ordered a few Colecovision games from Telegames USA years ago and found out the Alacazar game, which had a generic white label also, didn't work properly on a Personal Arcade system-it would glitch up. I don't know if one would work on the ColecoVision ever since I sent it back for another game.
