high voltage

Or maybe just nobody wants to do NES homebrews.

Good for you, I got an N-Gage and complete softs collection. N-Gage had some really excellent software written for it, MOST of its library is actually very good, that happens seldom. Side talking is fun too, makes everyone take notice.

You wouldn't have a Gee Bee Air Rally in your collection by any chance? Mine stopped working, I got the box/instr.

Pics or it didn't happen :-)

1: Star Fleet 1: The War begins (best game ever) 2: Wizard's Crown (excellent RPG) 3: Star Raiders (the first killer-app game) 4: M.U.L.E. (one of the first god games and very good multiplayer) 5: The Lurking Horror (a must-play text adventure) 6: FS II 7: The Eidolon (my favorite Lucasfilm game...you gotta use your foot/toes!!) 8: Mercenary (blowing up the C64 sign still gives me giggles) 9: The Halley Project 10:Mask of the Sun

Talking of Eggomania, I like Big Birds Egg Catch. Further I like SW Death Star Battle, Solar Fox, Blueprint and Fire Fighter. Oh and Snail against Squirrel. And Spike's Peak, Gangster Alley, and Sky Skipper.

Bit of a contradiction here: [[Though the PS2 was ultimately the runaway winner of the Sixth Generation, it was ultimately because of the library of games, NOT because it did "other stuff".]] [[2. THE GAMECUBE IS A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE, NOT A DVD PLAYER]] Pretty sure the GC would have been 'only a video game console' even with cheaper to manufacture DVDs.

Cool scan of the VCS box. Another favour to ask, can you do Strawberry Shortcake?

Hello Mr Nolan, what's your favorite Petster? (I'd have loved a Petster back in the days, truly a forerunner of Sony's Aibo)

Here's the DP definition, and DP is always right: Classic Gaming: Here's the place to go to talk about all things "classic". Today, classic means "before PlayStation 2". Finally a place to discuss RCA Studio II and Fairchild Channel F! Or any of those other systems by Atari, Nintendo, Sega, etc.

Tried that so many times to help with errors and contributions, via email, via forum, but they just wouldn't listen, and with such nonsense ilk from the forum members like Sir Clive and BubBob (and others) who just mock instead of giving positive input, in the end you just give up.

100% agree. Yonks ago I read the Frogger II Threeedeep! fiasco on DP, the man lacks professionalism, plus, his articles are ALWAYS full of errors (Lode Runner's Rescue you play as a dog? Try Lode Runner's daughter, for heavens sake. Surely you read the info/instructions about the game series before putting the series into the magazine. Obviously he does not).

Come on, Nintendo purchased a Chuck E Cheese way back, that says it all for bad taste.

My Sweat from Stella CD says joystick control, did they have paddle control in mind as well?

*AHEM* ...Astroblast... Even both together:

Hey great , many thanks for this. My Frogger II has a home again too.

Much, much more bad than quality, you'd have to agree.

Nintendo's been doing this for years, in case you haven't noticed.

That is very neat. I used to own the Muppet Keyboard, whcih came with a educational game for C 64 and a loader program for the Atari XL (flip disk). Maybe a game can be written for this. (picture courtesy of Computer History Museum)

Now that is just silly talk, how do you know they wouldn't have done more marketing, become established, or had ties to the video game industry, or had games selling in retail? Have you not heard of the video game crash in 83? Those requirements, which can take some time, just didn't happen for them. Little sales obviously contributed to this fact. Even Richard Garriott sold his first 20 or so games from his bedroom/garage/mail-order, and many other companies started off the same way. That's just the way it was. I bet you'll love to own an original Akalabeth: World of Doom in ziploc-bag. I know I would.

Those weirdos on Digital Press are still going on about it being a 'fake' box. Really.

Lysette Anthony is well worth the movie alone.

So the instructions are on the back of the box? Will they be added to the AA database? And the box too?

Did the Keyboard Controllers box come with the Basic Programming overlay or did the Basic Programming game cart itself? Or both?

Yes, Plato was most important (70s), but for number 2, the Apple 2 was far more important (many classics orginated on Apple) than Spectrum or even worse, Amstrad or Acorn (There are no landmarks/cutting edge on Spectrum, BBC, or Amstrad). Of course, the IBM belongs into the number 2 category as well.
