How strong is the Wii's bluetooth/wifi?

[How strong is the Wii's bluetooth/wifi?]

Hmm never thought about that - my laptop picks up my neighbors signal and sometimes it's stronger in the other side of the house than my own.. I wonder which one the Wii is using?

[Download old classics to your Wii !]

I think it would really shine, if/when you can play those games versus others over the internet.

 

Hopefully a steady stream of quality games can hold me until then..

[VecFlash! what's on yours?]

I have what ever Joey put on his, and then sold to me

[Stampede: personal best score!]

Just to clarify, some of the cattle stop running and just slide, at around the 3 minute mark of your recent video..

[Stampede: personal best score!]

There is rumored to be another version of the game, but I've played alot of Stampede carts and have found none yet. Join me in my quest!

 

This is where things might get interesting..

 

I've never heard of different versions of Stampede until now, but as I was watching your video that was recently posted, I noticed that some of the cattle we running differently(legs weren't moving) and thought it to be odd, compared to how I remember my version played. I haven't had a chance to play it since then, but with this new thought in mind, I'll pop my version in when I get home tonight and see if it looks the same as yours..

[need some help on stampede]

neat video - thanks for posting..

 

that's pretty much the strategy I use as well, but obviously not as refined..

[Endless supply of sealed classic games]

Being in the plastics industry, I'm very skeptical of "factory sealed" games..

[Wii´s Virtual Console: prices and games]

The only intriguing thing for me with the VC is if we'll be able to play 2 player games VS people over the internet.. that would definitely make it worth while..

 

I was just getting ready to post that...Mario Bros would be killer over the web.

 

Tecmo Super Bowl, baby

[An end to your retro gaming passion ?]

I'm 40 and have been playing video games for about 30 years as well, and you know what? I just enjoy playing games, doesn't really matter when or how they were made, just as long as they are fun. With my lifestyle as a working parent and all around family-man, I find classic gaming to be a better fit. Plus sharing it with my kids is a wonderful, wonderful thing. In fact, my 16 year old made a deal with me, wanting to go halfsies on the Wii when it comes out.. how nice is that?

[Best NES Games?]

If you like sports games, you MUST try to get Tecmo Super Bowl. EVERYBODY who liked sports video games and had an NES played that game all the time in 1992. As a Philadelphia Eagles fan, there was nothing like an improvised running play with QB Eagles (aka Randall Cunningham)!

 

[need some help on stampede]

I usually knock out the bottom 3 then bounce the top three, keep doing that until the slow cattle appear on the bottom again, then lasso the top 3 and bounce the bottom 3.. seems to work well for me..

[Are there any classic Arcades left in the world? Please show me pics!]

Honestly near me in PA in the immediate area near Philly there is none I have been to Dave and Busters in Philly they suck more of the same racing and shooting games. I know TNT Amusements isn’t that far good drive from me but not a real arcade I know the guy has tons of stuff still haven’t been there though. The only place I know of in PA is this place http://www.pinball-parlour.com/ apparently the guy has his collection and charges like $6 for an hour to $15 for a day great deal since I could burn through more than $15 in an hour but not the type of place were you just drop quarters in the game. Honestly I would love to open my own place like that guy did with my personal collection and just make every game 1 quarter like the good old days. Oh there is one place near the NJ shore that I heard had a lot of stuff but the name escapes me at this late hour of the night. I just got back at 12am and left at 4pm this afternoon on a road trip to pick up a Marble Madness game it has a chip problem but I will be posting that tomorrow or whenever I get a chance to get my hands into the game. In the mean time try this it's an arcade search engine for a lot arcades in the US but some stuff may not be up to date. http://arcadelocations.classicgaming.games...te=Pennsylvania You could probably find that place in NJ I was talking about on this web page.

 

 

Have you been to Hershey Park lately? They have at least 30 classic machines.. most in very good condition.. All of them are lined up together - it's beautiful!

[Which game do you want to play for week #8 of the NES HSC?]

I feel so guilty..

 

I've voted in just about everyone so far, with no real intention of playing..

 

[What will you/did you do at VGXPO?]

I'm really up in the air on this - at 20 bucks a pop it'll be over $100 just to get in the door. The previous one and the Philly Classics, my kids would enjoy going and usually bring a buddy or two. If I do go, it'll probably be solo..

[Do your kids play the old school games?]

My kids don't even know they're old school games, since they've grown up playing everything from the 2600 and up. To them they're just games. Some involve a longer investment in time and learning, others can be picked up in seconds. They like them all..

[wii launch line up set and ready]

Whatever happened to that Mario plat-former, I think was called Universe or something? They showed it at E3 and looked fabulous! I just assumed it would be ready for launch..

[Do you own an arcade machine?]

I have an original Marvel Super Heroes and plan on building a MAME cab this winter..

[Wii or 360?]

haha damn kids!

 

I'm a fan of what I call "active" games. DC Maracas, GC Bongos, Steering Wheels for various systems, Guns, etc., pretty much any kind of alternate controller.

 

I've been wondering.. have you tried Guitar Heroes for the PS2? Realizing you play a real guitar and all..

[Wii or 360?]

You're an excitable fellow aren't you?

 

no, not usually..

 

Of course looking at that Victory Storm King label makes me think about how good Victory beers are.

 

mmmm beer..

[Wii or 360?]

Will I be able to play Tecmo Super Bowl against people from around the world on the Wii?

 

I kind of got excited last night thinking about it..

 

more excited than waving a controller around(which is somewhat exciting)

["Old" Hardback Childrens Mystery Book Series Please, Please, Please!]

Surprisingly holding up pretty well - I have one that my uncle had as a kid, not quite sure the date, but that one, the cover came off..

 

We never bought the newer ones which tried to be hip and what-not.. The old ones were definitely the best..

["Old" Hardback Childrens Mystery Book Series Please, Please, Please!]

We have at least 60 of the Hardy Boys books, quite a few from when I was a kid. Both my older sons enjoyed them a lot. Well actually my oldest did and continued to buy more of them. We found a dozen or so at an antique shop in Morgantown(right off the turn-pike).

 

Not quite sure we want to part with them though, since my 2 year old might eventually want to read them..

 

#r 27 (Secret of Skull Mountain

 

I distinctly remember reading that book in one day at a camping trip in Tennessee lol

[SELLING -- Pristine Missile Command Cocktail]

oh shit, nice machine

 

I want it..

 

will get back to you..

[AUUUGH! He's everywhere!]

I still maintain that the first Madden for the PC/Mac was the best version ever..
