My favorite too. I stick with Hyperspace.

None. Make new games.

There's a list of red label variants in the first post of this thread. The list hasn't been updated in forever, but I reckon it still contains some useful information.

I like it.

Good question. I can easily pick a favorite in every other matchup of VCS publishers, but this one gives me pause.

Haven't played it in over a year.

This question comes up all the time. My answer is always the same: I keep it all in my head. Works better than anything else I've tried.

When it comes to disc-based games, having a manual is essential, unless the game never included a manual to begin with (a disappointing modern development). I'm more flexible (or should I say, "pragmatic") when it comes to cartridge-based games. For some systems, such as the VCS, I've tracked down manuals for nearly every game I have. For other systems, such as the SNES, I couldn't care less about having manuals.

Ms. Pac-Man. If I'm in the mood for a game, I usually reach for the VCS version.

Modern.

Dust: An Elysian Tale (Mac) Solid gameplay, just not very deep. I was't wild about the anthropomorphic character designs, but, overall, the art direction was superb. The music was excellent as well. I didn't care for the story or voice acting, however. Just too much angsty-pathos for my tastes. There's a great deal of backtracking in the game, but little incentive to undertake much of it. A few tweaks to the game's layout would remedy that and greatly improve the flow of the game. (7/10)

Sell it.

Haven't had a good gaming find in a thrift for nearly a decade. I don't even bother going into them anymore. Like someone already said, it's not just games; there's really isn't anything good to be found at the thrifts anymore.

Has anyone ever used the paddle controllers made by this company (Gemini)? I may not be wild about their Gemstick controller, but their paddle controller is the best I've ever used; zero jitter.

Bastion is the best "indie" game I've played.

I have a few of these. Never really liked them. Actually, I've never really liked any third-party 2600 stick.

N/M.

All of them.

Costume Quest (Mac) Moderately charming, but not enough to look past the brief, shallow, and repetitive gameplay. 5/10

Did a deal for a couple of XBOX games. Great communication. Items as described. Smooth transaction.

^No.

I've got a number of MacUser and Macworld magazines from the early to mid 90's. Would anyone here be interested in these? For example, would anyone be interested in 11 issues of MacUser from 1992 for 50¢ an issue, shipped in a Medium Priority Flat Rate box costing $11.95, making the total $17.45?
