    I mean, I do wish them the best, but... I'm not sure about this design. Does anyone else think it looks like to go box from Chilis or something? https://twitter.com/TommyTallarico/status/1069684610190082048

      Maybe they got inspired by the Jaguar ... dunno.

      You already know the answer, it starts with an "A".

    Galaxy Force II for the Sega Genesis is undoubtedly a poor man's Star Fox, and yet a physical copy of it set me back more than a copy of Star Fox for the SNES would have. Go figure.

      Given it's arcade counterpart was released 2.5 years before the SuperFamicom I find it hard to believe

    A Classic DOS PC Mini?

    1. phoenixdownita

      phoenixdownita

      Given Nintendo sold ~8M+ between NES and SNES mini there's potential for big money, hence everyone wants to take a stab at it.

      An XBOX OG mini should be possible, no?

    The Collectorvision Phoenix discussion is about the most toxic thing I've ever seen on this site. If you're a potentially interested newcomer, go away, they don't want you.

    We arrived at the Grand Canyon tonight, went to the main lodge building to get dinner, and I run into Mike Kennedy standing in line. That's some crazy random chance stuff!

      ..or post something unorthodox in the CV Phoenix KS thread (the one in the CV forum, the others 5 or 6 seems to be a lot more quieter and somewhat tolerant or latitudinarian if you prefer)

    Let's take a really good paint program and ruin it by making it 3D. Also, let's change all the controls so nothing works like it used to.

    Went to the dentist today. Had a good check up. Then they put this fluoride coating on my teeth that hardens up like wax and flakes off. Now it tastes like I've been chewing on crayons all afternoon.

    1. phoenixdownita

      phoenixdownita

      yeah, my dentist used the same thing for a few years, but recently he switched to a different concoction and it's basically like he never applied it (maybe he doesn't and just charges me for it)

    Confession time for no particular reason. 3 games I have never liked that seemed pretty popular or much loved by others. 1. Mr. Do's Castle 2. Mappy 3. Chu Chu Rocket. I have tried them all on several occasions, different versions where possible but they do nothing for me. I love Colecovision and just about any version of the original Mr. Do! but none of the spin offs (Neo Mr. Do! / Mr. Do's Castle etc)

    1. phoenixdownita

      phoenixdownita

      I loved using the Mappy car in RidgeRacer on PS1 because there's nothing like an underdog to go and win the races.

      Oh, the sudden Android switch to the "light" theme is also mostly unwelcome. It it was a choice, sure, but c'mon

      yes, it is explained in the Q&A section of that page (question number 2, check the answer directly from Kingston tech).

      Given you got the Scart to YPbPr box, why not updating the "thread" with your own impressions about using it. 40US$ is pretty cheap and I presume it works well enough ....
