My 7800 GameDrive is on the way. Stoked!

Received my MiST v1.4 from Lotharek today! This little box is fantastic. Not the all encompassing "MiSTer" but its cute and it certainly does more than I will ever need. Love it!

Dragonfire by Imagic for the VIC-20 is in my humble opinion the best port of the game!

If I ever decide to deal/trade with anyone that has a "Battlesphere" title screen as their avatar please warn me/stop me. I know I should have taken that as a sign to walk away...

Got a Neo Geo AES again today after not owning one since around 1994. Japanese model of course as now the USA model goes for a trillion dollars apparently. But, no sweat. So glad to own this again. I purchased my first one on launch from a Babbages for $650. And in 2020, Japanese version (in box with manual) for $600.

Well done eightbit. Glad you're a Neo-Geo AES once again. Come by the Neo-Geo thread on Atariage.com at anytime. Seeing that you had one in the 90's, you must have a lot of stories to tell. That's amazing you purchased it a Babbages, I use to see them in their stores and could only dream of owning one. 8^)

I still think "Super Nintendo" is one of the dumbest names for a console. In Japan the NES was called the "Famicom". So, when the "Super Famicom" came out it made sense in my mind. Nintendo Super Famicom sounds pretty good. But here in the US. the prior console was the Nintendo Entertainment System (or NES). So we got the Super NES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)...or what is known as the "Super Nintendo"...but it just sounds dumber than Super Famicom to me...dunno why.

Love it how sellers on ebay use the sepia camera setting to hide the fact that the console is yellowed. Make it all look yellow and buyers can never tell...great idea! Jerks...

These Aquos sets from the era (2000-2004) are the best CRT equivalent you can find. They have been a little "secret" I have kept over the years. They are pre-HDMI and the internals are designed to provide the best possible a/v (composite, component, s-video) you can get out of an LCD TV....as well as an excellent RF. If you want to connect old consoles to a set that is a lot lighter (18 or so pounds on this one) and still have it look great without the need for an upscaler or line doubler....this is the set for you. I see them in the wild every now and then and I always pick them up for this reason.

Now that I have the MiSTer connected to a CRT I figured I'd try the SNAC with some light guns. Zapper, Light Phaser and Justifier tested...all 100% functional! Simply awesome.

Received my Jaguar-daptor today in order to use a Jag controller on the MiSTer. Why? So I can map the keypad to the Colecovision core. Playing the CV with a Jag controller is fantastic!
-
I've always liked the Jaguar controller for what it is. That's cool you're taking full advantage of them that way. Even though I sold my Jaguar collection a while back. I kept a bunch of the controllers. Use them on my Amiga's and even the 7800 with Edladdin's Seagull78 and the BEST adapter for that all important 2-button play.

Had a Cup Noodles today and noticed it said "No added MSG, same great taste" which is new. I guess MSG has been a part of it all of this time. And it tasted like crap...like unsalted Cup Noodles.
