Uh.. I meant San Franciso Rush: The Rock. It seems that it hung at a certain point, or that it wouldn't allow me to put in a credit or something. Time Crisis II crashed (the screen went black) when you went up the hill in Area 2.
-
I'm still waiting for TANK to be working properly in MAME. Anyone know if SAN FRANCISCO RUSH and TIME CRISIS II are working correctly now?

Kind of dumb but oh well.. a couple of the X-Men and their chief nemesis join the circus! Magneto is now into joy-buzzers, Wolverine makes balloon animals and Gambit throws pies and wields novelty mallets. -

Doing an episode guide and some of the episodes I"m watching are only available from this YouTube guy recording from his cellphone with a VERY unsteady hand, and with animals making noises. Very annoying.

Groundbreaking shooter with great music and enemies that truly test your nerves with their frantic chirping and hyper-fast movement as you whittle their numbers down to a few. I own this in my living room and first saw it, I believe, at a GODFATHERS pizza restaurant that used to be in Tigard OR by the cinemas. The whole family would have their jumbo combination pizza, which is still very good to this day! -
Almost always RUS. As someone posted earlier, AAA when frustrated over a lousy game. With a longer series of characters allowed, it might be RUSSELLSAN or RUSSELL!!!! or something.

Wow, thanks for mentioning that one! PULSAR (1981, Sega/Gremlin) This seemed to be fairly obscure-- one of those titles that may appear at a drive-in theater snack lobby where oddities often showed up. But strangely I saw it for the only time sometime in the late 80s, at a bowling alley arcade somewhere in the Seattle metro area. Not-bad color maze game where you are some sort of tank-looking vehicle that must touch colored keys to open the similarly-colored gates leading to the next maze. The maze is filled with atomic particle-looking creatures that aren't deadly to touch but can shoot you. The maze itself has walls that shift and can hinder your attempts to reach the gates. An electric field can zap your ship. A giant particle can get in your way and force you to destroy it, splitting up into several small particles that can shoot you! Don't run out of time or your tank will go bye-bye. Secret bonuses can be earned, making this a surprisingly decent game for its time. Simple but engrossing sound effects. Runs on Sega's "Vic Dual" hardware. -

Newest one: OMEGA RACE (1981 Bally/Midway) Black and white fixed-screen space shooter-- an odd layout involved a giant rectangle that had your score and ships remaining, and you fly your ship around this rectangle, trying not to ram into obstacles or enemies, or their lasers. As you whittle down the enemies, tougher ones hatch from the obstacles. The last one is super fast, smart and constantly fires a barrage of lasers! I remember first seeing this at the department store Fred Meyer in Tigard, OR. This came in regular upright, cabaret and cockpit. There was a spinner control to rotate your ship and thrust and fire buttons. -
I felt it was necessary to have a thread of this awesome cheat device. Yeah, there were ways to make the game harder with the GG instead of way easier, but who really wanted that?

So pissed.. finally bit the bullet and bought a Smartphone, basically to be able to get a public transportation app. Now I hear the app won't work on my phone because I need a NFC chip. F***! I hope the Cricket store can install one for me..
-
NFC = Near Field Communication. You tap it on an NFC reader to complete certain kinds of transactions. These are typically found on credit cards, government IDs, and recent-ish smartphones. It's not the kind of thing that you can install after the fact, it should be built in. You might want to get the Cricket store to swap out your hardware for you. If this is a new purchase, that shouldn't be a problem, but you'll probably have to pay a little more for a better device.

Here's the main screen for the Genesis Game Genie: Here you can fill in FIVE lines of codes. Each line has 8 characters (You can't change 8 to 6 like the NES). The tables of characters: 1) A E J N T Y 2 6 2) B F K P V Z 3 7 3) C G L R W 0 4 8 4) D H M S X 1 5 9 You can change slot 8 with anything from table 1 or 3. Slot 7 can only be changed with another character from its column (2, 3, 4, 5). Slot 3 can be any character. Slot 2 can only be changed with another character from its column (E, F, G, H). Slot 5 can be anything from its row or 2 rows above or below it. Slot 4 can be changed to a character 4 spaces away in the same row. You can add 2 or subtract 2 characters in sequence from the last slot. You can use the last 2 characters in a code and move forward 2 characters for each-- so 99TA-CCGN would become 99TA-CCJR. I found that code for ART OF FIGHTING: AWRT-AA5W makes it so you don't react when you're hit, and when you go up close and throw the enemy they float in midair and don't attack! I'll do a video of it someday, and perhaps of other cool Game Genie tricks.

Bally Sente missing children files
retrorussell replied to ThunderFist's topic in Arcade and Pinball
Wow, I just got working on making a video for Mini Golf and I found a different pair of missing kids-- girls named Malinda Marie Smith and April Rose Yates. I don't know the nature of their disappearance or the case file or anything, but it seems like the latter is okay these days. The former I don't know. -
Finally almost finished with cleaning the house.. my bedroom was filled with dust and spiderwebs. Sneezed all night.

We got your cheese! Pepperoni! Tomatoes! Saus-- (dough splats on head) ..How 'bout some spaghetti?
