    The way I've selected Africa by Toto was by searching the Greatest Hits of 1982. The number of views on Youtube for the song Africa released in September 1982 is very high, but the song isn't present in the Greatest Hits of 1982, but in the one in 1983, which surprised me.

    Anyway, the list of Greatest Hits included the obvious "Survivor - Eye of the Tiger", but also a whole bunch of songs that could have been interesting to Coleco-fy.
     
    I'm curious what could be your picks of 1982 Hits. I've set a poll but couldn't include all songs in it.
     
    Since I don't think I can compose any song with the ColecoVision sound chip, I'm asking you to pick several of your favorites in the poll.

    This news is affecting homebrewers including Nanochess and myself.

    You may or may not know it but, November 2013, I used Scubbly website to release Flora and the Ghost Mirror game as a digital copy downloadable (to play on an emulator or a special game cartridge like the Atarimax's Coleco Multicart) while cartridges of the game were not yet ready.

    Newcoleco's store on Scubbly: http://www.scubbly.com/store/newcoleco/

    Nanochess' store on Scubbly: http://www.scubbly.com/store/nanochess-digital-store/

    According to Scubbly's blog post on January 1st, 2017, their service will shut down around summer time.

    What should we do next?

    Find another website offering the same easy service with protection for both buyers and sellers and low fees?

    - OR -

    Abandon the idea of providing digital copies of our new games in an online store?


    Any idea? What do you think? Please share and comment.

    Hello everyone,

    I am new to posting a blog here so I decided to give it a try, please leave a comment.

    I have done an experiment with friends during the whole month of December 2016.
    We gradually made a list of memorable movies released before 1985.
    Memorable movies are famous for good and bad reasons such as iconic scenes, innovations.
    The list grew up to over 130 movies and surprisingly none of us, as individuals, saw at least half of these movies.
    Do I really know my cinema classics? Is it possible to see all these movies?

    I have made a second list (see below) limited to titles with less than 15 characters (including spaces and symbols if any).
    With this restriction, the list sure is incomplete and still some titles seem not really memorable in my humble opinion.

    What do you think? Which ones surely are famous memorable movies?
    Which ones are missing respecting the restrictions (less than 15 characters and before 1985)?

    Please leave a comment. ^_^
