[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Finished Doom 3 maybe two weeks ago, or so.  What a chore.

 

Didn't stick with Goose like I thought, but will definitely go back to it.

 

Still, as always, mixing in Rocket League.

 

And some of My Friend Pedro.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

As always, still playing Rocket League in small doses.

 

Trying to finish Doom 3.  It's really not fun at all.

 

Will be starting the Goose Game shortly.

Will the games still work on a stock CV but without the Phoenix features?

Yes, sure. But if you have a Phoenix you get improved color palette, perhaps better sound, things like that.

 

 

Please, please make these games with your original customers in mind, and the Phoenix stuff second, if that makes sense.

 

I want nothing to do with their stuff, and I really hope I don't feel like an afterthought once these games start coming out.. like "you'll get a great game, but you're getting the real experience playing it on a Phoenix" or something.

I beat both older (pixelated) and newer Bloodstained games, then downloaded The Outer Worlds on GamePass.  Only into it a little bit, not sure what I really think of it yet.

Bagman has been sold.

 

 

Thanks to all buyers.

 

[The Case for Adventure as the First Video Game Masterpiece]

I find it interesting the popular choice as a masterpiece is Space Invaders, simply because that was an arcade translation.

 

Could Adventure be considered an "original" masterpiece?

 

I loved Adventure and consider it a classic.  Whether a classic and masterpiece are the same, I'm not sure.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Did you not convert sub (if you have one) to GamePass?   The Outer Worlds is on GamePass.

 

[Castlevania Super Game]

That looks great, and the scrolling/transitioning works nicely.

Dragon's Lair has been sold

 

[NEW GAME FOR YOUR COLECOVISION : MUNCHER MOUSE]

I had a bit of a scare... mine finally arrived just a few days ago.  That box was in bad shape.  I could definitely tell it was originally packed well and taped well, but it was ripped up in several places, with some denting/squashing apparent.

 

Anyway, once I properly opened it, the game (which was also well protected inside) was in perfect shape. 

 

Thanks!

Haven't played Hollow Knight since..... now playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and as always, a little Rocket League mixed in.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

I didn't think I would, but I tired of Dead Cells pretty quickly after beating it on normal difficulty.

 

I've done some Hollow Knight, after reading many good things about it, but it hasn't hooked me the way I'd hoped.  Still will try some more and see.

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

Another deal made.  List updated.

 

Thanks to everyone so far.

Mine actually did end up in spam, which usually doesn't happen.  Luckily I scan it before I wipe them out.

 

[Dragon's Lair is sold out!]

I see the eBay Dragon's Lair went for $305.

 

Very nice!

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Started up some Dead Cells, thanks to GamePass.  Very good game.

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

Bump.  Added TI Dragon's Lair for OFFER only.

Karate Champ was a lot of fun back in the day.   FULL POINT.

 

And that bull.... grrrr

 

[Popeye NES]

Loved Popeye back in the day, ColecoVision, arcade, and even 2600.

 

One arcade always had it blasting, and when a heart hit the bottom of the screen, the whole place knew it.

 

That "better grab the heart soon" tune is forever in my head.
