I'm hoping to play some more tomorrow, so I'm waiting. =)

Nice! I haven't seen this before. Don't remember seeing it at the booth at PRGE this year, but I may have missed it. Keystone Kapers is a great game, would love to play a sequel. On a side note, I've played on the 2600 that is shown in the video from the National Videogame Museum. =) It's used as a demo machine with the game Adventure to show people how to get to the Warren Robinett Easter egg.

Might fit under the "Official Turbografx 16" thread over in Classic Gaming General... http://atariage.com/forums/topic/237235-the-official-turbografx-16-thread/page-1

What? No Snail Maze? Just about everyone has that! (I know, some systems have other built in games... it's a joke...)

Well, $59.99 is less than $599999994063921.75, so I'm not sure why you don't trust it. lol

Girlfriend came home with these from the thrift store today. Not really that into Halo, but they were only $2 a piece.

I've really enjoyed my Atari Flashback portable. Especially after adding a crap-ton of roms on an SD card.

I've wanted that Retro Game Challenge for a while, but it's never been at the top of my list, so to speak. I've seen it a couple of times, but haven't gotten it. I think it was a low print run game. Love the show it's based on GameCenter CX. Kacho ON!

Totally forgot to post my times. I'll add them into this week's. It wasn't much, but it was some.

I don't know that I've ever really played many other boxing games. I have Rocky for the Master System, but haven't really played it other than just making sure it works. Maybe I'll try that some later...

Not really a price drop, but just as good... I heard that you buy one at $100 at GameStop and they give you a $25 gift card. I mean, just as good if you can find other things at GameStop you want.

I put in quite a few hours on Suikoden in one week last year... but don't remember how much. I can't imagine doing that now...

I haven't done preorders since the Playstation days. Don't have any big plans for "new" games other than probably getting RDR2 at some point and getting some 3DS games since I finally have one of those. Speaking of 3DS games... I guess there are some that are only for the new 3DS? I've seen some in the e-shop or whatever it's called that say "new 3DS". I have the original, will they not work on it? I think the new one has more memory or something that maybe the games need?

Heh, after the first Sonic, the one that I've probably played the most is Spinball. lol

PC Machinarium - 268 min (Neat looking game. Point and click adventure. The lack of text or voice is always interesting. Nice how they can get you to understand what you're supposed to do next (usually) without and verbal/text clues. I did get stuck a few times and consulted a walkthrough, but still pretty fun game.) Deponia - 100 min (Not too far into this one. The standard point and click adventure. Seems pretty fun so far.)

Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - 15 min (Never played any of the Sonic games much other than the first one. Played a bit of this via the Sonic Mega Collection on GameCube.) Sonic the Hedgehog 2 - 15 min (GF and I played the racing vs thing in this game. Had some fun. Those pinball levels always get me lost. Played via Sonic Mega Collection on GameCube.) Arcade (MAME) Gyruss - 47 min (Another game I kept playing until I realised it had no ending. lol I remember playing this and being terrible at it on the NES. There's a dip switch setting on the arcade machine that gives 255 men, so I went for it. Was going to play until I ran out of men, but got bored of it after a while.) Neo Turf Masters - 35 min (Had never really played this before. Had some awesome holes, and had some terrible holes. A pretty fun, fast, arcade golf game.)

Grabbed it and another couple of point and click adventures. First of anything I've gotten from GoG.

Heh, was just about to mention that I forgot to add that time over here. Glad you got it!

Going back and looking at mine, the arcade game Muchi Muchi Pork is ineligible. It was a 2007 game.

I have a feeling I'll be adding to my 2600 collection... my ex asked me for something the kids could get me, and I told her they could get me any 2600 game/games they wanted and gave her a list of what I already have. Just told her to tell them to pick whatever looked fun or had a good name or whatever. lol Other than that, probably not much. Pretty thin 'round here right now because of some unforeseen expenses...

I actually got my girlfriend to play some this week! lol She has a gaming achievement that I never have gotten... back in the day, she beat Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't think she got all the Chaos Emeralds, but still, I haven't done it. Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog - 90 min (We kinda played together, passing the controller back and forth between deaths. I played longer than she did, but she's out of practice. I forgot what the story was, exactly, about how she beat it back then. Something about living somewhere where she had nothing else to do, no car, no money, or whatever, so she just played Sonic to pass the time. Eventually beating it. Anyway, we had fun with it and she mentioned maybe playing Sonic 2 some time.) Streets of Rage - 30 min (After playing Sonic, I started up Streets of Rage (these are both on the 6-pak game we were using to play Sonic). I like Streets of Rage 2 better, but this is still a pretty good beat-em-up. I did feel I got hit a lot more than in SoR2. A bit harder to avoid damage at times. And, as usual, the first button I pressed was the special attack button... and then I never remembered to use it again. lol... Anyway, this has some great music. I let the music play at the game over screen for probably an hour... just looping in the background while I started surfing the web.) Arcade (MAME) Altered Beast - 35 min (Quarter fed this one to the ending... started getting really annoyed by the knock back and difficulty in getting to the white wolves for the powerups. I probably had them pass me by a good seven or eight times before I could get three powerups on the last level. Anyway, I remember playing it in the arcades back in the day. Never was that good at it, but I usually gave it a try. Wise fwom yow gwave!) Batsugun - 15 min (I'm not that great at shooters to begin with... and this is kinda one of those "bullet hell" shooters, so I was even worse. I really need to get a better joystick. The Playstation one I'm using would be perfect if the joystick worked properly. I mean, it works, but it has some dead zone issues... can really make it difficult to reliably maneuver in the tight spaces that a bullet hell shooter requires.) Battlezone - 10 min (Got this one to work with a PS2 dual analog controller. Worked pretty well, but I suck at this game. It's one I know I could get better at if I practiced, but right now it's one that will probably get limited playtime simply because there are so many options. I like the green wireframe/vector graphics, but it's not a terribly deep game.) Muchi Muchi Pork - 5 min (Another bullet hell I had to play for the name alone. There's lots of pigs involved in the game... but it's in Japanese, so I'm not sure what they were for other than points...) Ray Storm - 5 min (This one seemed to have some emulation problems... kinda stuttering and playing slower than it should. The music sounded off, too. Too bad as I was looking forward to playing this one. Oh well, I have the Playstation version (emulated as well) and it seems to run fine. Who knows... possibly the version of MAME, or a bad image, or... I dunno... )

Instead of hacking it with the hardware as it is, why not just take it out and mod it to hold a Pi of some kind and put what you want on it. Just wire it up to use the current jacks and such... if that's possible. I mean, I have no experience with building Raspberry Pi stuff at all, but if the emulation is iffy and the space is limited and you're not sure if you can get into it anyway and so on and so on and so on... why not just buy it for the nice case and controllers and replace the innards?
