    A few months ago, I left a comment on a "review" he did for the 2600 E.T. cart. The vid was pretty much a means to jump on everybody else's bandwagon about how the game its terrible and blah, blah, blah. So, I suggest that the ignoramus read the instruction manual, before posting more garbage on the net about the game being rubbish...as many of us have discussed and agree that the game is, in fact, quite decent.

    If by many you mean 27..... :lolblue:

    Don't be ridiculous. I'm using sales figures and number of games to compare systems IN THE SAME FREAKING GENERATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    You Dreamcast fanboys need to take your shit somewhere else. It's getting really annoying. Who the hell do you think knows these systems better than any? Hmm, maybe the SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS. And hmm, nearly all of them chose to develope for the PLAYSTATION 2 instead of the dc...

    BECAUSE THE DC WAS KILLED OFF BY SEGA AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS.

     

    What part of that concept don't you f'in understand? :ponder: :roll:

    Funny, I was going to say the same thing about you PS2 fanboys. :roll:

    AND... if you read the article ........ what I'm referring to is NOT content that MicroSoft paid for.

    Just because you are taking it apon yourself to come up with your own interpretations of what what they said means for the sake of trying to justify your position is hardly a valid argument in stating that as if it's a true fact.

     

    The fact that that article is from 4/21/09 in itself kind of prove that it's not actually, on account of the fact that Broken Steel and what it was going to offer with regards to level caps and going past the ending was being announced as 360 DLC since LAST YEAR! Specificly, less then one month after the game was released.

     

    :roll:

    Also, in my opinion seeing it in action sheds some more light on the whole Ralph Baer/Nolan Bushnell Pong debate.

    Okay, Baer won the lawsuit and Bushnell had to pay a (rather small) licensing fee.

    But seeing the tennis game in action, knowing it does not keep score and you can move all around, even steer the ball... As Bushnell said "not very clever". I don't see he "ripped of" Bear in any way. Maybe he had some inspiration from the Tennis game, but saying Pong is a ripoff is like saying Chess is a ripoff of Checkers because it uses the same board.

    Well, to be sorta fair. People and the courts were stupid back then.

     

     

    Here's pretty much how it must have went.

     

    ~ Odyssey = thing you hook up to a TV and has two blobs that players can move and a 3rd blob that moves around on it's own.

    ~ Pong - thing you hook up to a TV and had two blobs that players can move and a 3rd blob that moves around on it's own.

     

    Same things, Atari, you lose. Case closed. Next case. ~ KC Munchman vs Pac-Man. ~ Boy, today sure is an easy day!

    and most of those times were because I was trying to do something way early before I really should have (like going up into minefield and taking out the sniper at level 4).

    That's hard? :ponder:

     

    Hints: You can have your own sniper rifle at level 1 & you don't have to don't have to walk up the main road. ;)

    I'd like to offer since I have some of those boxes/manuals for every system listed there. But they all have extreme parrot damage, so I don't think you'de want them. :P

     

    Chewy birds with big beaks and paper/cardboard products just don't mix! :x

    Well, atleast the video link is there now, even if it is oddly located inside quoted dialogue. :P

     

     

    Anywho.... Funny.

     

    Tho I don't know if I'd say Popeye the Movie is "that" bad. I mean, it's always hard to bring cartoons and videogames and junk to life in live action form. There are a lot worse out there then Popeye. :)

    Im not going to watch something like 2 girls and a Cup, If it came on...Id switch the channel till it over.

    Awww, it's only a 59 second clip. Your Halo ain't going to melt off.

     

    Ya know, I'm not even sure why that one has such a reputation. I have.. Uh :ponder:, I've seen... :ponder: I've "heard" there is much more extreme stuff out there. ;)

    HDLoader (V .08c) is the latest patched version of HDLoader (it can work with drives as large as 2TB and offers more compatibility with more games) and is FREE and easily available.

    HD Loader "used" to be a commercial product that you had to pay for too. It's free now because it was officialy abandonded years ago after they got busted under DMCA laws. What you have now are just hacks, and needs either an exploit or modchip to be used.

     

    HDAdvance, to my knowledge, has never been updated since it hit the market.

    Uh, it's been updated numberous times. Currently, there are two versions. Version 3.0 and Extreme. It's also useable without an exploit or modchip, but that's the advantage of an actual commercial product vs hacks.

    Wow, worth that much?

     

    And honestly, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I have no idea what any Colecovision stuff is worth.

     

    Tho in retrospect, I've guess I've gotten some good deals.

     

    I bought a complete Colecovision system with hookups and controllers and 4 games (boxed Zaxxon, boxed Smurf RiGC, loose Donkey Kong and loose Mouse Trap) for $40.00 off a guy that worked at GameXchange (bought it in the parking lot before they opened one Saturday morning).

     

    THEN, I picked up an extra 2600 & 7800 with a like 30 or so loose carts (mostly 26, some 78), driving controller, and a couple of proline sticks for $10.00 at Goodwill and found 7 more loose Colecovision carts mixed in (2 Donkey Kong's, BC's Quest for Tires II, Burger Time, Donkey Kong Jr, Super Action Baseball and Atarisoft Centipede). Not to mention a 2600 Xonox Artillery Duel/Chuck Norris Superkicks double ender too!

     

    I'm guessing I didn't do so bad either, particullary on that $10 haul. :P

    Just saw this today myself.

     

    Wow. Like others here, I've never seen a real Odyssey 1 at work. Heard about it, seen pictures. Those things sure didn't accurately represent how god awful horrible this thing was. How on earth did people actually buy this and think it was fun? For all the non video gaming crap it came with, and non video gaming crap you had to do, you might as well just played a board game or something.

     

    Anywho.... I guess he was getting complaints from hardcore fans because he's sorta back into old form again. Yay! :cool: Tho I'm not too keen on Nerdy Turd. That's kinda stupid. He should have just stuck with Shit Pickel.

     

    I had to stop it early-- too over the top. Did he mention anywhere that it spurred on the home console industry?

    I can't believe this is what Atari had to pay royalties to. I can't believe THIS is what spurred on the home video game market.

     

    If the home video game market was a person, and I was them, I'd be ashamed. I'd keep this locked away in a basement, fill that basement with cement and never speak of it again.

     

    ~ Aren't you related to Odyssey?

    ~ What, Odyssey, no, no. No. Never heard of him. Here, meet my only relative, Pong. Hey, get away from the basement!

     

    Tho I do believe it. The home video game market had to have been spurred on in trying to prove that home video gaming wasn't a complete pointless boring dead end sack of crap.

    I hope it doesn't cost like $30 (but it probably will)

    I seem to remember hearing 800 MS points ($16.00), like the others. But who knows, it might be more, like the add-on for GTA4.

     

    Shame because I've still got like 1020 points sitting there on Live too.

    Puppies!
    Grrrrrrrrrr! I don't want NXE, but I want puppies. Can't afford to buy another 360 right now to be an upgraded poo-dash machine.

     

    What to do, what to do. :_( :? :sad: :( :ponder: :_(

    Or before going to sleep, maybe when you've some minor insomnia, playing it from bed, just two switches to turn (TV and Atari) and off you go, instead of having to boot the whole PC again...

    I emulate at bedtime every night. I only have two switches to turn on too. TV & Xbox. Can play any game on any system I want, and I don't have to get out of bed just when I'm falling asleep to turn it off.

    Sorry, but this 3rd DLC was always known about. It was part of the package of DLC Microsoft PAID for, which is why it's only on the Xbox/Windows PC.

     

    Not sure why you (and others) are acting like you got blind sided on this. :ponder:

     

    Not sure why you (and others) think you're entitled to exclusive content paid for by someone else. :ponder:

     

     

    If you pick the Puppies! Perk when Dogmeat dies he gets reincarnated automatically as a puppy

    <In Capt. Kirk voice> Must, resist, NXE!

    Yeah, for being NIB, it's not an unreasonable price.

     

    But if NIB doesn't mean anything to you, you can get them used without box/manual/extras for a lot cheaper.

     

     

    And off-topic...

    ......

    So why is it when a mod edit's their post, it doesn't show a tag line saying the post has been edited and when like it does for everyone else? :ponder:

    I saw it for that much at the publisher, and most places with lower prices said either low stock or out of stock. If you can tell me where to get it cheaper that has it in stock, please do.

    http://joystores.com/cart/index.php?main_p...;products_id=32 - $27.99 + free s&h

     

    http://www.modchipoutlet.com/ps2-modchips.htm - Version 2 - $29.85 + 7.95 s&h (cheapest they have)

     

    http://www.modchip.ca/store/product.php?pr...=269&page=1 - $29.95 (free shipping is an option - pick regular mail)

     

    http://www.gamesystemrepairguides.com/HDADVANCE2.htm - $32.00 (s&h included) (tho their shopping cart is broken right now :ponder:)

     

     

    Sadly, some of my more favorite sources like Divineo (China) & Jandaman don't carry it anymore. :(
