Would definitely help me if I could find a decent original controller...also helping the Flashback get play in my house is that my original Coleco's RF signal just flat out sucks. And I am not an RF snob. I play my 7800 on RF and did for years with my TG. No issues with it normally.

Oddly (or is it?) my best most solid RF output is my Atari 7800 ! You's hardly know it was not composite.

I'd agree...I've always found the 7800 RF to have a very good RF signal--it's the main reason I've never sprung for the AV mod. My Coleco's RF is super poor--yet it was the BEST machine out of the lot of 3 (!) I bought when I got into Coleco.

I have a Gorf arcade machine too. Other than the arcade the CV version is the only one I have played. The cv is a decent port and a fun game.

it does on my "fixed" SD version,otherwise you would be correct 800 not xl

fired up the coleco, looks for colorful but plays like a different game,nice but different. Heres a comparison of a bunch of systems

Flojomojo is right on the money. If you're satisfied but not ecstatic, you probably won't write a review. If you're displeased, you are much more likely to share your feelings. That taken into consideration, 10% bad reviews probably are fairly low.

Unless the price difference is over $30-$40 or whatever you want, I'd go to Best Buy and see the TV's in action. Less delivery people drop kicking it, if you buy locally at Best Buy. Plus if there's a problem, it's an easier return.

I broke down and order it online, just a good old plain 1080p tv. No HDR, no 4k, no nonsense, which is fine for a living room tv....if it comes busted I'll trek it back to my nearest Best Buy. I will say I buy from them repeatedly just because they are so good about returns.

Yes because smoking is bad but smoking and getting stoned is just what the world needs

The should combine them both. Imagine how they would feed off of each other...

Unlike smoking (cigarettes),...You (probably) don't do it every day...So it doesn't kill your lungs unless you're excessive...And if it's legal/medicinal, there's edibles,... so no smoke at all!

Thanks Ransom!

Star Castle is a must

Whoa good to know Vector but looks to be one of the pricier ones too!

And have my new Jaguar get a sunburn???

Ugh, some people can be really inconsiderate. I'm a smoker but I only smoke outdoors and always wash my hands when I come back inside, so nothing in my place smells of cigarettes.

Use vanilla to get rid of smoke smell! Had a gal tell me she uses vanilla in her husbands work clothes when she washes them. He's a firefighter. We had a fire in a warehouse next to ours years ago and I simmered vanilla for a couple weeks and the smell was gone! Our warehouse was filled with a lot of video games, pinball machines etc!

Wow, just wow

@Golden Nice! @ Nuke Pac Holy F-in' Cow!!!

I did have a coworker give me a Turbografx + game...But he also owed me $180 he never paid me...Actually $190 since he also owed me on the football pool (I won)..

Puddy and paint, as an astute contractor friend says all the time. Puddy and paint.

Ha! I broke down and bought another case...I couldn't stand that hole being there, mocking me!

Yeah, may as well do it right!

Later that night... *whips out breakout for the Atari vcs*

I predict AC/DC will make a Super Breakout!

JOUST until someone cries. Then some more JOUST

+1 Joust.

+1 for Joust, but no arcade game. Stick horses and wiffle ball bats are all the kids need.

Modern displays will show you the cure. In 4K if you so desire.

Hope it works for ya! You never know sometimes people throw those out because the VCR part quit working or just because they've moved on.

Turns out it works like a charm, great sound too for a smallish TV.

The good news is that many of the good games are really cheap. There's some great homebrews available, too (some ROMs, too).

That def attracted me to it! The lot included 11 games but first on my "get" list are Frenzy, Gorf and Time Pilot!

fun system,one I mainly missed way back when, it's worth having for sure!

One of the best CRT's made so I don't blame you for not taking it on the free. Would have been a shame not to save it.

Did you carry it by yourself? 27" is like 120 pounds, that one must have been over 150.

I barely got it up and into my car, and I was backed RIGHT up to it. Left a nice bruise on my leg just from pressure. Worth it!

Always wanted one of those. Congrats

awesome! Now you'll have to check out Dracula X and Gates of Thunder. I even like Riot Zone for what it is. lol

Thanks guys! Beer, Dracula X and Dynastic Hero had me staying up way too late last night!!!

Nothing against modern games, but ya know how when U were a kid, U got up Saturday morning and watched cartoons? It would not be the same if you walked into a movie theater...

Maybe that comment made no sense at all...But that's kinda how I see it...

What kind of games you been playing?

The Good Life!

I'm envious

Man.. wish I could do the same. Storm is coming this way too, but even though I get to stay home, I still have to work. Doh!

@RamrodHare: Wow do I ever feel slow... I must have read the title of that game two dozen times, but I never got it until you pointed it out. >_<

Jin I figured you of all people would have been the first to catch on to the title

I'll choose to take that as a compliment XD Seriously though, I had been hearing about this game since before E3 this year and somehow I never realized the title was a double entendre.

The first game is really a must. Flacco has not been good in a long time.

Especially with the Jets on Thursday night right after that!

They've got no chance. :/

They need to get a refund on their tickets for once!

I am pretty damn psyched. And Jacksonville is perhaps the most agreeable matchup apart from the Chiefs.

I nearly lost my mind Sunday. I am treating this as house money! Let the chips fall where they may, the drought is OVER!!!1

"Always get the @#$%ing knife..."

That game's a beast.

Never understood why people like that damned game so much. Had it on the ST and could never get very far.

yes we do....I thought we were going to hand them the game on the bad snap/punt.

Luckily, we are all to aware of what Fitz is capable of, and sure enough, he ended the game with a pick.

ha! If their TE turns around and realizes he is the target it might have been different though!

The 5200 version of Joust is... pretty weak. Even the NES version is better IMO.

Boy I can't disagree more Jess! NES Joust to me just "feels" completely wrong to me with how the ostrich handles.

I'll have to dig out the XE and play that one too.

The 5200 version is great. I still have a hard time with the pterodactyl, though.

I can't say I like it all that much. The original is way better.

Got it too and 9 more other games too. Looks like max cart on PSN is qty 10, too bad, I would get 3 more games.

You can finish checkout with those 10 games, then load the cart with more of the flash sale games. The only limit is buying 10 or less per transaction.

Good rule of thumb for many reasons (some not so obvious) is never feed them "human" food. Stick with that golden rule and they won't annoy and beg at dinner time too.  

Chocolate too.

We've been good about no (or very little)people food, OTOH in the future I might have fed her grapes out of ignorance, so still good I found out. But this case was freakin' WILD grapes dropping into her enclosure. I didn't even know I had wild grapes!!!

The CA governor doesn't care about Atari people! (Or maybe he does.)

My grandmother took me to the arcade, there were no video games. It was a bunch of shops with covered walkways and arches...so large arched covered areas with adjacent shops or shops within.... this is probably why they identify what kind of arcade it is... Food arcade, fish arcade, video game arcade... etc etc...

Ah, Doctor, good point. He's going with an even more "old school" definition. The actual one.
