FB2 on the Ellen Show
maibock replied to Curt Vendel's topic in AtGames Flashback and Portable Consoles
You know, I thought the same thing - Why are these women all excited about a FB2? Video Game geeks I would expect excitement not a Ellen fan base. Then I realized that these must be gifts for the audience or something.. -
That would be freakin' awesome! Would Legend let you have one in the bar? Beer swillin' and classic gaming - what a wonderful combination

lol wtf, man? you disappear for a few months and then you come back with some generic post? How did the move go?!

makes me wish all the more I would have made it to the PC5. <3 warlords 975041[/snapback] That was the major difference between PC5 and the vgxpo thing - Seemed to be a lot more tournaments at PC.. Seemed to be more of a community feel, but what do I know? Everyone seemed to have LOVED vgxpo..

PlayStation 2 reaches 100 million milestone
maibock replied to Dones's topic in Modern Console Discussion
wow - now that's impressive! I guess you never realize how many games are actually made.. those numbers are staggering 974242[/snapback] Especially since there's probably only 100 games worth owning in that 14,000 974263[/snapback] Ouch! point well taken.. -
Videogames inherently inferior to film and lit
maibock replied to Dones's topic in Classic Console Discussion
True, but if you look at his remarks objectively, he does make some good points mainly video games are not movies. They are in fact two different entities. I don't like when people try to design games in a movie type format. The games generally end up not being fun.. -

I'll be jumping into Modern PC gaming soon enough, though I've been playing the classics for awhile now. Nothing has really grabbed me good with the modern consoles and I'm not too thrilled jumping into a 360 quite yet, maybe in a year or so..

So what game(s) got you into gaming
maibock replied to ninjarabbit's topic in Classic Console Discussion
At around age 10 my mom would take me to the local department store and I'd head off to this snack bar area which had all the games - it was truly magical at the time.. I remember the 10 cent pinball games - those and the black and white video games like, Canyon Bomber, Stunt Cycle and a few others I can't remember the names.. They had a miniature bowling alley which would also cost a dime.. -
very nice! Wasn't she doing off the wall gorgeous ginger bread houses a few years ago? Those were cool!

What is the best hand held/portable system?
maibock replied to silverpoodleman's topic in Classic Console Discussion
9 year old daughter? Definitely get her a GBA SP - Not that expensive ( since it isn't an arm and a leg, you can let her take responsibility for it and not worry it'll get destroyed) - quite durable for a kid - excellent game selections, old and new - some pretty cheap games out there - enough games for dear old dad to play too, if given the chance.. Only thing I would stress, is establish how she will keep the carts stored. those little buggers are small and can get misplaced pretty easily, if you had something like a bag of some sort, it'll be a big help.. -
I voted yesterday and I was allowed to vote today Looks like you can vote once each day! GO!!! Vote early and vote often!

How do you know when you've beaten a classic game?
maibock replied to ColecoNation's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Adventure - When you enter the yellow castle with the magical chalice game = done Though if you enter with your adventurer first you see the inside of the castle when the fireworks fly, but if you allow the chalice to enter, you have a more picturesque view of the fireworks from the outside of the castle -
What classic 2600 game would make the best movie?
maibock replied to Rhindle The Red's topic in Poll Forum
I went with the obvious for me, Adventure.. But could you imagine the storyline for Kaboom? Why is the convict dropping bombs? What mad vehicle is he using to jettison back and forth so quickly? Why was he in jail, to begin with, and how did he escape? The hero saving the bombs from landing, how did he get in this position? What adversity did he face prior to carrying water buckets around? Is there a love interest? -

Hmm.. Thousand miles from Harrisburg, PA but yet a thousand miles from Ft Lauderdale and evena thousand miles from Chattanooga, TN it must be centrally located above the earth! I pick space! I give up (again)
