  2. Gladiator is on TV, the one with Cuba Gooding Jr. I remember renting this on VHS, I recall it was a good flick!

      So, you like movies about gladiators? You ever have a dog come up, and just ---

      looks like i picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue

  4. Bought a game called Dark Quest II on xbone. Feels like playing Heroquest!

  5. The lower half of the high score board of Defender 2000 represent references to Red Dwarf. Ace, Cat, Queeg, Nodnol

    1. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      2000? That was before my time.

      GoldLeader

      Cool! I love Red Dwarf!

  6. Sitting here relaxing a bit after work, watching a movie on TV called Death Rides A Horse with Lee Van Cleef and John Philip Law....pretty darn tootin good western, I think I'll buy the bluray

      Lee Van Cleef and John Philip Law: two MST3K legends!

      Sounds Awesome!

  7. We were just reminiscing at work about actors in the '80s used to have albums. Eddie Murphy, Patrick Swayze, Rick Springfield..and Grace Jones in a related way

    1. CharlieChaplin

      CharlieChaplin

      Don Johnson - still listen to his albums today! And "Under the Boardwalk" by Bruce Willis was also a hit here in Germany. Even the unknown stuntman, Lee Majors, scored one or two hits here.

    2. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Well I learned something...no idea some of those guys had albums, especially Bruce Willis? Let us not forget David Hasselhoff also

    3. Swami

      Swami

      Long story,but Springfield was generally an non-famous musician first and finished Working Class Dog just before General Hospital.

  8. Had to open up my 5200 custom paddle and clean it out today. It's amazing how much carbon builds up with really not that much use.

  9. You want old skool? I used to file my taxes over the telephone yo

    1. Keatah

      Keatah

      I did that once!

       

    2. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      Ha! I used to do that back in the late 1990s. I also did my banking via modem.

    3. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      But you know what is really old skool? We used to have to write down our taxes on paper and mail them in! :o

  10. Meijer has the Atari Flashback portable for $30, so what the heck, I bought one.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Does it have Pac-Man on it? If so, that's not the first one. The SDcard collection will work on any model. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/258970-atari-flashback-portable-faq-and-compatibility-list/

    2. retrorandy

      retrorandy

      All these classic reboot consoles are super tempting. Nice design and I love that it has an SD card for additional roms.

      Can't beat less than half price!

  12. Uhg...Galagadon...really?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I had to look this one up. At first I thought maybe SYFY had a new movie coming out about alien sharks...

    2. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      Alien sharks doo doo doodoo!

  13. Made good on my 2019 resolution to buy more AA store games. Just ordered Sea Dragon (5200) and Wall Jump Ninja (2600). After years of Jaguar, 5200, and 7800 homebrews, this is my first VCS homebrew purchase...finally

    1. Albert

      Albert

      Thank you! I just soldered those. Wall Jump Ninja is a fun, original homebrew title and very well done!

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Cool! I checked out Astro Blaster (7800) and I still have Serpentine (7800) and Space Game (2600) waiting in the wings for when I get some time! AA Homebrews are the Best!!

    3. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      I like "Wall Jump Ninja" too. It's definitely original in a world of shooters and platformers.

  14. So, I finally have a good pizza place that offers anchovies. Never been able to try them before and wondering if it's worth possibly screwing up a pizza o

    1. Stephen

      Stephen

      Shave some beard hairs and add 3 ounces of salt. You'll get the same disgusting effect.

    2. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      If I were you, I'd eat it hours before going to bed. Otherwise you'll have weird dreams like I did with a cheese pizza.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      ^I'm going to check the dream thread franko! Maybe a weird dream is chronicled there? :)

      Cobra Kai

      without commercials, I bought the dvd set from Amazon, they have all the Hanna-Barbera classics available.

  16. The actual biggest Christmas tradition in the USA is the Dec 26 ritual of returning gifts

    1. StanJr

      StanJr

      It wasn't as nuts as I feared it would be when I went out today. Maybe with an increase in online sales this is dying out?

    2. zylon

      zylon

      likely many had the same idea about waiting for the lines to die down...

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I only ever returned a gift because I already had one or because it was broke...Not liking it was not generally a reason.

  17. Just watched Rocky IV as a Xmas movie, and for some reason just wanted to give a shout out to Carl Weathers for being such an awesome actor!

      digdugnate

      lol- it was the 80s. every movie worth its salt had a robot!

  18. Is there a thread for 2018 game of the year discussion?

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      My vote is for Jeff Minter Classics

    2. save2600

      save2600

      I'd probably vote for VCS Mappy.

  19. I heard a series of rolling rumbling noises early this morning. I didn't feel any tremors, but perhaps I heard that Tennessee earthquake up here in Indiana

    1. save2600

      save2600

      Tennessee earthquake? I'll have to AltaVista that...

    2. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      That's a little close to home. Although there was one in VA that we felt a few years ago.

    3. Eltigro

      Eltigro

      I heard those, too. But it was just gas.

       

  20. Last couple of years I pledged to collect less, and play more games. In 2019 I want to play catchup and buy more stuff from the AA store

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I think you may have something here.

    2. xucaen

      xucaen

      I need to order more stuff too. Ugh. More stuff! Hey ever hear Carlin's Stuff bit? Hilarious!

  22. It's tough to distinguish STYX or Foreigner

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Also in the 80's I rode a Gravitron @ Lakeside Amusement park and they played STYX videos while it spun around...True story...Now whenever someone chants "Sex & Drugs!" I get a little carsick.

    2. frankodragon

      frankodragon

      I had trouble distinguishing between Motley Crue and RATT.

    3. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      I go with Rammstein. Can't mistake them with anybody else.. OOF!

      You should check out their reviews on the BBB. Most of them are not good.
