Down to the wire; has everyone gotten their packages?

Ugh! My outbound gift has been "out for delivery" for three days now.

I haven't picked up a ton of homebrews, probably ten or so, but I would say the one that has kept me occupied the most and keeps me coming back is Ladybug for 2600. I think Donkey Kong Arcade for Intellivision would be the runner-up.

Received my gift on Saturday! With any luck I can hold out until Christmas.

So it begs the question: Did you fill in all those under "Media format" in your Secret Santa information?
I truncated the list a little bit:
C. Media Format/Shirt Size - LP, VHS, CD, DVD, CED, XL Shirt

Ooh, I have one of those! I don't plan on keeping it, but for now I have it. Definitely an intentional flash in the pan if there ever was one. Those 3-inch "DVD's for kids" made a lot more sense, and they didn't last long either.
And speaking of flashes in the pan, what about UMD movies?
Also don't forget GBA Video...
Actually, there was also a full-size VideoNow player with color video also. I do have a few UMD movies but no PSP. GBA video is a fun one, but the carts are starting to get spendy.

Fujiskunk, I haven't run across DVD players that don't play VCDs; granted I don't have any recently manufactured ones. Doubledown, you have me beat as I have no Betamax; but how about a VideoNow player for those PVD's?

That guy; either his shtick in the best thing or worst thing in wrestling, I cant decide.

A few immediately came to mind (the first two have been mentioned above):
- Rescue
- Bagman
- and Armored Car - it's a bit archaic, but I keep going back to it.

As long as they're not the sugar free variation, you're probably good.
OMG, thank you so much for sharing. As much of a gummiholic as I am, I was destined to run across a bag of these and quickly eat more than anyone ever should in a month.

Damn I want a pinball machine too!
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Haha sorry to tease you then; it seemed to be the only clear flat space in the house.

OMG! My secret santa really outdid themselves!!!
I had Dig Dug and VB loose, but it is very cool to have some more sealed games, I only had one until now. I dont have motorodeo, so that one is getting opened. Also the Lynx game is one I have never played, so I am stoked for that! And of course gummies for the win!!! Thanks so much Santa!!!!!!!
My wife also did well on the retro game gifting:
I think she followed me around PRGE and talked the vendors down on everything I put pack down with a longing look on my face.

DZ-Jay, your food looks awesome! And you're a fellow legomaniac. I got the Harry Potter train too but I had to convert it to make it motorized.
I see your Lego Christmas trains (which are awesome!) and raise you a Micronauts Christmas Micropolis......

I would love these if still available, we are just getting into this now.

I would love to try the 5200 version someday. I played the hell out of RS Baseball on the 2600, loved it back then, not so much today. I loved that screaming line drive home run sound. Of all the primitive baseball games, I think Tandy Color Computer Baseball is my favorite, it was surprisingly easy to control, even with the poopy standard non-centering joystick.

Woohoo! My package showed up today. Its a big big box, but it's fairly light and marked "FRAGILE" all over; could be a major award! Gonna be hard to wait. According to tracking my outgoing box made it to its destination today also, so all is good.
Update - Doh! it's not my SS package, just a present for my wife. Humbug.

My bundle of fun has been sent out as well! Grig I will PM you the tracking when I get home.

I finally got the last item for the box. I hadn't noticed the seller had "4-day handling"; I didn't think eBay even allowed that. Anyhoo, I am shipping tomorrow!!

One incoming package is "out for delivery" today; another is estimated for Monday and once that arrives I will be shipping ASAP!

Ground Kontrol is spectacular; I have not been to Quarterworld, but have heard it is very good. Both have similar mix of arcade / pins and have plenty of 80's machines and nothing from 70's.If you can only do one, I can't see how you could go wrong with GK as their games are usually in good repair.

Yeah, the tracking on my outgoing package has shown as "out for delivery" for six days now, so that is a little stressful. Realistically, I am sure it probably got delivered. Maybe.
