  1. I'd buy that just for the title ^o^, and whether or not Rose Marie is an unlockable character gavv
  2. 40 million PS2s. 3-4 million xboxes & gamecubes. nuff said ^^ gavv
  3. i dont' know if there are any variables involved in the unlocks, but some seem a tad flightly ^^. for example, i KO'd the computer in boxing but got nothing. next time i played (some days later) i played against a friend and at the end of that match, poof the corp commercial unlock appears ^^. and in laser blast, went well past 50,000 without anything ^^ gavv
  4. i'd personally like to see the sales go well to warrant another collection, but what would really be nice is to have an all-encompassing collection with the quality of AA for Intellivision. no matter how good Inty lives and Inty rocks are, playing them on a pc keyboard still lacks a bit , and Inty deserves to have the memory of the psx1 emulation package forgotten too ^^. And because of the PC products, inty productions already has a huge amount of video footage for museum/archives purposes which AA is unfortunately short of ^^ gavv
  5. activisionanthology.com hasn't been 'available' for quite a while. i went there many times in the last couple/few weeks thinking that was the place to get info about the game, but it had the 'permission' error. My guess, is that that is part of 'how' Activision is keeping the internet accessibility from the game cut out, in case they couldn't be 100% sure that the game code was disabled. kinda makes it difficult to have just an info site ^^. gavv
  6. Bill Heineman in the past few years has been known for doing a lot of excellent mac ports of games for MacPlay, but is probably better known for 'classic era' games by being the lead on The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate, and i believe its quasi-sequel Dragon Wars, for pc/apple/etc. and he also claims to be the national space invaders champion of 1980 gavv
  7. And if you want another take on a 'PONG' movie, try out the classic Corn Pone Flicks short film... www.oldcrows.net/~cpf/pongdivx.avi gavv
  8. Actually, G4 must have filmed several of those promos at CGE, because the only one I've seen on G4 is one with a guy (forget the name offhand) who designed some watch-based game gavv so hopefully there'll be a slew more ^^ and yes, it appears the 'silly little dance' is a theme, since this other one featured it too
  9. I never found a '10', but one day i found 5 2s. sorry, had to say it gavv
  10. Here are my picks: Buffalo Tampa Bay Houston Indy San Fransisco Peyton Manning - 289 yards passing Eddie George - 118 yards rushing gavv
  11. Hey all, Was a mildly uninteresting day where i came up with the thought, what exactly were the 'top 10' selling activision titles from back in the day? Of course Pitfall is #1, but i've always been curious about what the other top sellers were...If i were to take a random guess (in no particular order), i'd probably guess pitfall, kaboom, river raid, stampede, megamania, dragster, grand prix, and some more half-assed guesses ^^, laser blast, barnstorming, & chopper command gavv
  12. since when was bump n jump a coleco made product? ^^; it was one of the Data East arcade games that Mattel got the license for and who made the Inty version and the 'M Network' Atari 2600 version. gavv
  13. the 7800 wouldn't have made much if any difference had it come out in 84 or not. The main problem was simple. Games. By then, people were getting tired of the same games again, just getting slightly closer to arcade specs. pac man, centipede, defender, asteroids. Even at its eventual launch, the 7800 had a dearth of actually interesting titles, at least interesting enough to get people to buy into the new machine (especially when they were still trying to squeeze every drop from the 2600 stone). Like another publication said (canna remember offhand), had enough effort been put into innovating on the games side for the 7800 early enough, it might have helped. As Alan Miller at CGE stated that 'one of the problems was that there was no orderly introduction of the next generation of hardware' and 'we waited and waited, and were really excited because we kept hearing atari was spending $100 million a year in R&D...but it never came'. Illustrating the case more, it wasn't really the system at all that made Nintendo hugely successful, it was one mold-breaking, extremely well designed game that assured it's success, SMB.
  14. http://www.dcemulation.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=6222 that gives at least some directions on how to create a self booting DCStella disc
  15. I was a child of the Atari VCS revolution, having a nice surprising Christmas present come under the tree Dec 77 as a 6 yr old. Sure was awesome and a great way to weather the blizzard of '78 shut in days, seeing how many times in a row i could get 99 in that one variant of air-sea battle. Forward a few years, some friends had Intellivision, while i was 'stuck' with the 'You already have an Atari' syndrome. More times than not i was over playing Utopia, Triple Action & Burgertime over at the friend's homestead. Forward an additional 18 years or so, i visit an out of state friend while attending Otakon, and was looking around at his place of 500+Nes carts, huge snes/psx and other collections, and pulled out both a 2600 and a intv to play...That got the urge going again..i *had* to own an intellivision, to right the wrong of the early 80s , i *had* to have the awesome burgertime gameplay back. Finally snagged one off of ebay, and through listening to some classic gaming net.radio shows, i found my way to twingalaxies to check the INty burgertime record. I *had* to have it ...and eventually i got that record ^^. Course then it spurred the common 'scrounge the old 2600 and games out of mom's basement' scenario, and so on and so forth, down the slippery slope as it were ^^ Ryan gavigan current Inty Burgertime record-holder ^o^
