    I don't drink coffee but I enjoy going to "cafés". I like to work there actually or simply take my Retro Gamer Magazine with me while sipping a Green Tea.

     

    In the Netherlands, the term "coffee shop" refers to a "different" kind of establishment.

     

    From the wikipedia:

     

    "Coffeeshops are establishments in the Netherlands where the sale of cannabis for personal consumption by the public is tolerated by the local authorities."

     

    I don't think you would get too much work done there. Your creativity might improve though. :-o

    Hey DZ,

     

    Today, I received the Xmas Carol package in the mail :-D

     

    Thanks for all the goodies, they are top notch!

     

    Let's hope that there will be another Carol Competition next December.

     

    Cheers,

     

    Oscar

     

    PS I hope that I will not be jinxed because this is reply 666. I guess that since I am an Iron Maiden fan I will be fine.

     

    "Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea..."

    I'm having problems with an Intellivision rom again! :skull:

    I've downloaded a .bin and a .int file, but the rom doesn't work property...

    I used the Dig Dug and the Pacman cfg files and nothing. The Christmas Carol cfg breaks the emulator... :P

     

    Any help is appreciated.

     

    I must find a way to play the game or I'm in risk of being knocked out :(.

    There isn't a centipede cart available in local market and no time to import one...

     

    MMM... It seems that the emulator does not work with Atari-developed games.

    I am sorry to know that you are having problems with the emulator.

    I had problems as well with the emulator and the Carol game. It seems that emulators are not very reliable.

    I have one idea, I will pm it to you. Cheers. O

    I am in the same situation as DZ. I did not have centipede on the INTV at the time but I really liked it in the arcades.

     

    Actually, I played it a lot on the Atari 2600 before I turned to the Dark Side and got my INTV.

     

    If I remember well on the Atari 2600, Centipede was one of those games that contributed to the destruction of your joystick.

     

    I am looking forward to discovering the game with the INTV controller. Should be very cool.

     

    Good luck to all!

    I am also a big fan of this fantastic game. One of the first party games ever? Perhaps. For sure it is the grand-daddy of the WarioWare minigames series.

     

    I also used the two controller technique, which works fine with the space battle game but gives you a headache and makes you cross-eyed in the D&D Game :)

     

    BTW the D&D should be considered a cool spin-off more than a mini game as the programmer completely took the D&D experience and made a shooter out of it. Awesome.

     

    The Football game is also extremely good. It would be fun to include this game in one of the tournaments. Hint, hint... Cparsley :)

    AD&D TofT is also an amazing adventure. But this one requires a little bit of time, specially for managing your inventory. Once you are comfortable with the controls you are for a treat. I used to play this game for hours on end. Plenty of times, I would kill the Minotaur and I would ignore the treasure that finishes the game. Then I would continue exploring deep into the dungeon. This is also a very, very scary game. I hope that you'll enjoy it as much as I did. Cheers!

    But it's not another hobby. It's still the same one... :)

     

    Or do what I do:

     

    "Hunny, you know how you've talked about that Atari VCS you had as a kid, and how you miss it? Well, I thought I'd do something special for you today, so I went to e-bay and got you this! SURPRISE!"

     

    "What? you didn't have an Atari when you were a kid? Hmm, I guess it was me then. Oh well... mind if I play?" |:)

     

    -dZ.

     

    Or even better... get yourself an Atari Module for the Intellivision II and you will technically still be within the borders of your hobby :)

     

    Remember, with the Atari Module the INTV library expanded to thousands of games...
