  1. Sounds to me like you answered your own question. You should probably get the flash cart, but collecting the real carts... Those will more fulfill your emotional happiness better. Depends on whether you want to be a gamer or collector. Let's put it this way: even if I had a multicart with all games, NO WAY would I get rid of my cartridge collection!!
  2. Playing Pac Man with the D-Pad is so frustrating, that I always use a joystick instead. But I have always wondered... With enough practice, is it possible to have a great game and reaching the keys, for example with the D-Pad?? If you are really good at NES Pac man with the D-Pad, PLEASE post any advice, hints, tips or tricks. THANK YOU!!
  3. Thank you guys for the reply ! Anybody have any helpful hints for playing this game? Thank you !!
  4. Can someone please tell me how the controls work? I can't seem to control which way the hand reaches.
  5. The other night, I scored my highest game of Star Castle ever on the Vectrex: 11,150 - what do you think??
  6. Thanks for the heads up. I mean this one, friend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ1afyYkMZA
  7. Well for many years the only way to play Star Castle at home was on the Vectrex. Now, all these years later, the Atari 2600 proves (despite the mantra to the contrary that is often repeated) that with the correct programming techniques, more is possible on this machine than ever previously thought. Star Castle for the Atari 2600 is absolutely incredible. Had games like this been coming out in the 80's, it could have been a real game changer. But as good as the 2600 version is (and it is breathtaking), is it better than the Vectrex?
  8. When using Mame4all on Dreamcast, if you use the Dreamcast keyboard, can the arrow buttons be used to play the games in place of the controller?
  9. I've got an Xbox with some emulators on it. With my MSX emulator, one of the ROMS has stopped working. I don't think I accidentally deleted it, because it still shows up in the list. Anyway, the rom is Pac Man, it worked just fine in the past. But now, when I choose that particular game, it boots up the MSX computer "basic" blue screen. All of the other games work just fine. I know that before I knew how to exit games with this emulator, I would turn the Xbox off and re-start it. Could I have screwed something up??
  10. How do you guys feel about the Atari Flashback version of Space Invaders?
  11. Is it just me, or does "Astroblast" run way, way too fast on the Flashback 6? Your ship moves back and forth so fast that the game is unplayable, I can't seem to aim. Please advise.
  12. Edwardo is the best Colecovision programmer in history!! Arcade perfect conversions of Space Invaders and Pac Man on the Colecovision? Yes, yes, yes !! Sadly, the OpCode website is severely out of date. Looking forward to Edwardo's newest stuff. I have all his available games thus far.
  13. Does anybody ever play the "no time limit" option on "Night Driver"? And if so, what is the point of the game then? Any comments appreciated. Thanks.
  14. Despite the Master System version having 2 players and nice touches like having enemies breaking through walls, I've got to go with the NES version. What do you think?
  15. Hello all, Just picked up the latest issue of "Retro Gamer" and in it they mention that there is a new hardware upgrade for the Neo Geo Gold X (the current Neo Geo system). Does this upgrade allow for unlimited credits? Thanks.
  16. Retro Gamer has just confirmed, in print, that they will no longer be running the "Latest news from the 80's" section in their magazines (ie: The latest news from October 1982, etc..) The reason? They have already covered all 120 months of the 1980's, and would be unable to run the section anymore without repeating. I completely reject this - there is no way that they covered every game in every month released - they only touched on the highlights. They could keep this section going indefinitely with games that they did not cover!!
  17. I'm a long time Intellivision Owner/Player. Getting the amazing Intellivision Flashback has me re-visiting games that I normally don't play. And I have a gripe - especially regarding the early games: Intellivision Programmers seemed to always assume there was a "player 2" around. Why not offer one player versions of Boxing, for example? What was that about? And what about Las Vegas Blackjack? What's with mandating a player 2? And Auto racing?
  18. I have all the other "Flashbacks". Are there any advantages to getting a Flashback 64?
  19. It was working fine, I had it plugged in. Then, when I would turn it on, it would shut right back off again after like 1-2 seconds. I got it to work a time or two since, but now it shuts off every time. What is happening?!?!
  20. I won't buy any game system that requires me to connect to the internet for any reason.
  21. Found this on my Facebook feed from Newser: http://www.newser.com/story/185970/landfill-dig-finds-hundreds-of-copies-of-worst-game-ever.html
  22. Any time spent with your kids is quality time !!!!!!!!!!
  23. Super Mario Brothers, all the way. And Pac Man - if you have an NES joystick.
