  1. Now if it would only run 7800 with built in XM.
  2. Any special surprises coming for that expansion port? Will the expansion port be freely documented or will it be a licensed thing?
  3. Do the Bartman!

  4. Just watched Jaws 2 last night. The pong machine is definitely the National Semiconductor Adversary.
  5. The Empire Strikes Back. It was a conversion game for Stat Wars arcade but very few operators converted their cabs for it. It's fun to take down AT-ATs
  6. Mine package came today also. Lots of candy, Pac-man mug, Nintendo 8-bit figures, a christmas lego train, a book and a cool shirt!! I haven't read this one yet so I'm looking forward to reading it over this vacation. Thanks Santa! Your the best!
  7. Echo base, are you listening? I see white armour glistening And sir I think we should go, I see through the snow, Walkers in a winter wonderland. All I have, to defend us are a handful of extras I guess we'll give it a shot, I think we'll do squat, to Walkers in a winter wonderland. Here I am, a hapless rebel soldier Stuck here on a planet like a fridge Don't think I'll be getting too much older, Look what I see on the southern ridge! They're so big, they'll get past us Armour's too strong for blasters Y'know there's zip we can do, We're gum on the shoe of Walkers in a winter wonderland. We're all beaten, so retreat I'm calling, slaughtered by machines of giant size. Here and there the snow is gently falling, so are all the speeder pilot guys! They walk on, for Lord Vader to the shield generator. All our defence was a flop, nothing can stop Walkers in a winter wonderland yes our defence was a flop, nothing can stop Walkers in a winter wonderland!
  8. I like how the power and reset buttons look like controller knobs. Too bad there isn't a pause button.
  9. I'm floored by what can be done on a Colecovision. I can't wait to play this.
  10. My sister just had twins! A boy and a girl.

  11. I was watching this old news series on video games and they mentioned that Tatio was making a game called Toasters and Chainsaws. Does anyone know what this is or any history on the game? Prototypes? Someone said it was renamed Elevator Action later. https://youtu.be/P3sqUrX83Yg?t=309
  12. It's time to play some Toasters and Chainsaws.

      It turns out that Toasters and Chainsaws was a working title for Elevator Action. Who knew?

  13. Let's take a moment of silence because the trolls have won.

      Now we can all behave like androgynous bots on here. The minority opinion wins again. Goodbye to a fun thread. :(

  14. I've been reading that guy's blog for years and he really comes off as a jerk. He can at least sound like a business man that puts his customers first. He just sounds hostel most of the time. If these things are so popular, why not consider manufacturing them? It's insane to build them all by hand. Also, I'm not thrilled with trying to win a lottery, that I know I will never win, and send off a lot of money to a foreign country in hopes the item will someday arrive. These guys that build things really need someone else to do their PR.

  16. This is the way a Star Wars cartoon series should look.

      I'd rather watch Aladdin in Space than Resistance.

      Flojo beat me to it! That's more in line with how I always imagined a Star Wars cartoon could be!!

  17. All I need is candy and this sucker is ready to ship.
  18. I've noticed a lot of empty game cases at Goodwill. The games are always more than the dvds. I think people take the game out and put it in a movie case to get it cheaper.
  19. Ever notice how stores will raise prices just before "sales" where they return it to normal price and mark it as clearance?

      I've seen them raise the price on sale or clearance.

      I had it happen last night on eBay!!!! Not even kidding! I was searching an item and the lowest priced "Buy It Now" went up as I searched!

      **Update** After I didn't "Buy it Now", a day later I searched, again true story and the price came down a little bit!! Now I bought it!! (In case ya wanna know, it was a DVD of the movie "The Stoned Age", because I have a couple of friends who haven't seen it)...
