    I'm watching this movie on TV right now called Roll Bounce. It's a comedy with roller disco, it's actually not bad...lol

      Great film!

    I still definitely want one, and have the money for it. I'm not going to let one game keep me back from this, I've always wanted a joystick for the Jaguar, please mark me down for one of these! I'll figure out the Llamatron thing later.

    Ouch, how hard would it be for us to modify it?

      It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a "salad dressing dude."

    Without searching the forums, I'm certain there is a small interview with the game's developers in which they claim Zero 5 was originally designed as an arcade game. That explains the lack of rapid fire and ship handling that is much more suited to a joystick.

    The 7800 already has that, it's called Desert Falcon, and it's a much better game IMO. Some people don't like it (isn't that the case with every game?), but to me it's one of the major reasons to keep the system. I'd say Desert Falcon is my favorite original release.

    Every Atari console is necessary. Sounds fanboyish, but it's true.

    I've made it to level 4 with regular play, but my thumbs can't take the punishment. You need thumbs of steel or rapid fire for extended play. I can't offer any tips other than just keep playing it. The 'tube' level I remember as being awesome.

    Just heard a commercial on the radio for a mini golf place called Ninja Golf!

      only reasonable response is to go, let us know how the giant frogs were.

      That has to be it! Granger, IN is only 20 minutes from my house. That looks cool, it must be really new.

    I too, haven't requested a rapid fire controller because I was waiting on the twin stick.

    I still need to buy the Zelda Breath of the Wild expansion. Even though I don't play the game, I better get that for when I inevitably decide to give it another try.

    I would love a decent board game.

    I told the operations manager at work to tell people that this coming Friday would not be a day off from work, because the 4th of July was cancelled due to coronavirus. He thought it was humorous but won't pull that prank.

      Yeah, so if a National Holiday happens to land on a weekend, most businesses are required to provide a paid day off to compensate. Businesses don't get to cheat you out holiday pay because of the 'luck of the draw' on their part.

      Aha! That is not the case over here. We have "employees' years" where most holidays happen on weekdays, and "employers' years" where many of those happen on weekends. In the end it is thought that this evens out.

    I like this answer because it puts an approximate total price. Because, I conflate 'easy' with 'cheapest'. What is being discussed here truly breaks down to cost. If something is rather cheap, it will be easy to acquire.

    Rayman gets harder and harder. I did a %100 completion on it years ago and it was one of the most frustrating experiences. There are hidden electoon cages that require blind leaps of faith to find, those were the most difficult. Worth playing just for the gorgeous sprites though, it never lets up on the graphics.
  17. Cobra Kai
    Really, the only cheap Rayman original right now, is the PS1 greatest hits version. If you check ebay, the US Saturn version recently sold for $135, and a PS1 longbox version of Rayman sold for $69. That's pretty high. I think the game has garnered enough of a good reputation over the years to make it sought after, but not rare, similar to good shmups. There's also the fact that Ubisoft keeps making new Rayman games, so who knows, that might spark interest in the old stuff too.

    We had chili cheese dogs and baked beans for dinner last night. I think you could label that a double whammy.

      Or you could take the Haribo sugar-free gummy bear challenge and eat 5 pounds of gummy bears and your butt will feel like Mount St. Helens exploding in no time.

      For room clearing results, have Bass Ale and Spam the same day.  Random, but yeah, that happened once in the college dorms.

      Two cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli's and about half a box of Golden Grahams cereal. OMG!

    There's only one Metal Slug worth buying and that is the Metal Slug Anthology for PS2. I used to have 3 different Slugs on AES, sold them, and the PS2 port is fine and it has 7 games on it including the Atomiswave game. I see no reason other than collector purposes to delve into other ports.

    I really enjoy the Hardcore Gaming 101 series of books. Good screenshots, full color, and very nice background info on the games discussed. Highly recommended.

      I've got their two volumes of Sega Arcade Classics. I did spot a couple of errors, but for the most part they're excellent and I learned from them. I definitely want to get some more of their books.

    Played the beta, didn't care for it enough to play seriously.

    Oh wow Fission Superstar X is awesome! I had trouble putting this game down last night.

    I'm gonna check out a Wesley Snipes movie this weekend and I can't believe I haven't already seen it. Undisputed.

      Knowing your movie tastes, I'm pretty sure you will like it. I did. The direct to video sequels are worth watching as well.

      I like great 80's and 90's action movies myself, the less CGI the better.  AND i like TERRIBLE 80's and 90's action movies too if they are just bad enough to be good (if you know what i mean.) :)

      Watched it tonight. I definitely liked it, and found out it was directed by Walter Hill as well, so that's another plus. He always makes films with a bunch of machismo, so this fits that profile for sure. It was kind of filmed semi-documentary style, and I felt like something was missing when nearing the end fight. I was surprised that the fight was just played straight up with no plot twists, so when it was all over I kept waiting for something big to happen, like a murder or something. I mean, it's in a prison full of vicious criminals. Pretty good movie though, and Ving Rhames as a villain was a bit different. Snipes was outstanding, easily the best actor in the movie.

    They require a temperature check, and answering some quick questions, but I'm back in the swimming pool after 2 months.
