  1. Downloaded Video Fever by the Beepers. Going to play Galaga and pretend I'm Matthew Broderick in War Games. Maybe Ally Sheedy will show up?

      I think I like older Ally Sheedy better than younger - you know, Psych Sheedy vs. Short Circuit Sheedy, unless she wears those workout clothes from Wargames - hubba hubba!

      Hillarious. You know I downloaded this about a month ago for the same reason. I had remembered it from War Games!

  2. I just don't find the AVGNerd entertaining. The constant swaring makes him sound stupid. If he could just speak like a normal person he would be alot more interesting.
  3. Dakota Fanning turns 18 today.

      I guess she's supposed to be hot?

      As hot as an albino meth head from a run down trailer park.

      Funny, I was just thinking of the mid-90s "Soylent Green 2" sketch on SNL, with Phil Hartman impersonating Charlton Heston.

  5. This looks like just the movie we showed off over at Endor Express but not a version that is in 3D. Does the 3DS turn a normal avi into 3D just by slidding the switch?
  6. So that yellow cartridge holds all the neo geo games? I guess I was expecting to see multiple cartridge slots.
  7. I like the part in one of the earlier battles where you see a transport during battle that is identified as "Star Tours" with a cargo of "Tourists". Craze REX droid! From EndorExpress.net: LucasArts has honored Star Tours in its TIE Fighter game. In the first Historical TIE Interceptor Mission in the game, one of the shuttle the player has to inspect is called “Star Tours” and its cargo is “Tourists”. The mission is also recreated in the new X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter game, as an inspection training mission. After inspecting a YT-1300 Transport (same type as the Millennium Falcon), the next ship in range is an Imperial Shuttle, named STAR TOURS…upon flying to sensor range, you’ll discover it’s cargo of TOURISTS.
  8. It's weird how the internet will take an idea and turn it into the truth. I guess if you get enough people to say and think something it becomes true. Heck even the programmer that wrote the game now thinks its bad. I don't think he would have said that in the pre-internet days. We make our own reality. If I were to say the sky is gray and get enough people to say the same thing it becomes true even though you can clearly see it is not the case. E.T. is a fantastic game. When I was a kid, I would play that thing for hours. I got so good at it that I would have speed runs on the hardest level and get the highest score I could by constantly giving Elliot my reeses pieces. Kids today can't play the game without gettting fustrated at falling in the pits. Getting out of the pits is easy if you master the technique. It's too simple for them that they lack the skills to play the game.
  9. Wondering when we will see a boxed version of Halo 2600.

  10. Wondering which will be better The Hobbit or The Three Stoogies?

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      Hobbit. That guy from Will and Grace sucks.

    2. MagitekAngel

      MagitekAngel

      The Hobbit, because 1) It's awesome, 2) You can't replace The Three Stooges, and 3) It's awesome.

  11. Thanks Stephen for an another great release.
  12. @home sick. Head cold. Maybe a game of Star Raiders will make me feel better?

  13. I'd tell you how to pronounce it but your human vocal cords could never do it justice.
  14. The cousins have returned the Wii after babysitting it for the last nine months. The kids are having a great time with it again.

  15. It's one of those arcade cabinates I would love to own. The lighting was amazing and the game play was great. It's just not the same playing without the paddle controller on Mame. By the way, has anyone played Space Paranoids? Disney California Adventure had one cab at Eletronica last year. Interesting game since you have to use a track ball to control the tank's turret. Does anyone know if that machine is in production or was that just something special for Eletronica?
  16. Day off. Turned on MAME and cranked up Rush and got busy playing Berzerk with my XArcade joysticks. Life is good.

      I actually heard this song while playing Space Invaders in the arcade moreso than Rush -

      Rush the band or Rush Limbaugh?

    3. Master Phruby

      Rush the band. Check. Orange Shasta. Check. X-Arcade w/o trackball - I love this stick. I found a Razer Tron mouse really cheap that I'm using for Millipede and Star Wars. Need a lightup keyboard now. Video game room was built with LED lighting which gives a great blue / green color when its on.

  17. Star Raiders was my first Atari 400 game. Space Invaders was my first VCS game. I guess I bought both killer apps.
  18. 400 miles. Sunnyvale is near San Francisco while Riverside is near Los Angeles.
  19. My X-Arcade tank stick came today! Mame is so much fun with real joysticks.

      I bought one YEARS ago and have never regretted it. They are awesome.

  20. A Super Pacman cocktail! Very cool. I've always wanted something like that.
  21. I've never seen it do that in emulation or on the Flashback 2.0. Flashback 2 is probably using a newer version of the game. I just ran it on Stella and it did the multicolor flashing before the maze was shown.
  22. I think a Pink Floyd game would be trippy.
  23. I got an Atari VCS (heavy sixer) for Christmas in '79. I also got Space Invaders along with it. My dad couldn't figure out how to connect it to the TV. He kept muttering along about Damn Engineers as he tried to figure out the instructions. Finally he gave up and I plugged it in in about three minutes and was happly playing Combat. He had no idea how I did it and was afraid I would break the TV. I guess I grew up to be one of those Damn Engineers.
