  1. Star Blazers or Battle of the Planets? I think I lean towards BOTP. Even 7-Zark-7 can't ruin that for me.

      The Macross arc is ok. The other 2 are terrible. Love SB & BotP pretty much equal. http://atariage.com/hack_page.php?SystemID=2600&SoftwareHackID=282

      No way was the New generation storyline terrible! Imo was better than the original Mospeada. The Masters story sucked and wasn't as good as the original Southern Cross,but overall Robotech was still a great series. StarBlazers is ok,but no way is it as good as the original Yamato.

      To each their own. Yamato did have a better live-action film than Gatchaman.

  2. DaveTV night. Logan's Run or Silent Running?

      Useless trivia: the actress who played Jessica in the movie (Jenny Agutter) has been in The Avengers and Captain America: The Winter Soldier as a member of the World Council.

      You've reminded me, I still need to finish Silent Running....Logan's Run I've seen a bunch though...Classic!

  3. Wife’s out of town so I have the TV to myself tonight. Buck Rogers, Red Dwarf, Atragon or The Mysterians? Decisions, decisions.

  4. Is it just me or have gas station sandwiches really picked up their game?

      My favorite is Wawa, which has touch screens for ordering. No human contact required.

      Dunno. Maybe just disable them. Kills everything else except mines. And maybe Mikey. :-D

  6. Enduro is the best racing game ever made for any system. There. I said it.

      Endure might be the best racing game on the 2600 but definitely not the best ever made, you know, what with modern sims like Assetto Corsa and BeamNG.Drive being a thing.

    3. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      It's definitely in my top 5 racing games of all time, and in my top 10 2600 games.  I might give Metropolis Street Racer and Outrun the edge, but Enduro is a mighty fun game.

    4. doctorclu

      doctorclu

      For the 2600 I remember it was amazing and unparalleled when it came out.  And the change of weather and road conditions, amazing.

  8. Newly announced Microsoft Surface Studio PC looks pretty sweet to this longtime Mac user. Given Apple has pretty much given up on the creative pros these days...

      Apple is marketing to mass consumptionist. Not professionals anymore.

      As long as we're fantasizing, I'd like to see a new MacMini with upgradable RAM, and user-replaceable dual SSD drives. And a pro video card option. Basically, a MacMini Pro.

      Remember when Apple products "just worked"? I hate doing tech support just because WiFi or iCloud doesn't work like they're suppose to...

  9. I've not been into modern games since early PS2 days. But No Man's Sky has me seriously intrigued. Seriously.

      Hey I Too Dug Aquanauts Holiday and Tail of the Sun!...I thought I was the only one haha...BITD The guys at the game store did Not seem to agree...

      Hope it does well, despite the faults. It's rare for a small team to create something this big.

    4. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      I'm glad you brought up Aquanaut's Holiday and Tail of the Sun -- this has the same kind of vibe (and unfortunately, a similar lack of polish -- it is very crashy for a console game)

      Am I the only one who pays people to deal with yard work?

    3. DaveD

      DaveD

      No. Grass cutting is typically a good time to listen to music though so I don't mind it. Cleaning gutters? Homey don't play that.

      I'm about to make a delivery right after I type this :)

      They can be fun if they're done right. Admittedly, they rarely are.

      Oceanhorn is a phenomenal game. Reminds me of Zelda, which is a very good thing.

      Brilliant clip. Yet another show to catch up on. Someday.

  13. "The possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1." That explains why that game always kicks my ass.

      Or maybe it's because the asteroids are not entirely stable.

      I love 2600 asteroids and 400/800 if Real asteroids came as fast as they did on fast asteroids and at those crazy angles a diff game 3 or 4 1 player we would be s out of luck . 400/800 asteroids is the best w 4 players untill DAD calls from vacation to ask YOURE NOT PLAYING asteroids on my big screen tv!!... BURN IN warning ..Lets hope Real asteroids DONOT COME * ships left.

      Great game and worthy sequel to Smash TV and Robotron 2084.

      Thanks. Flip4Mac. Formerly legit software recommended by Quicktime for viewing WMVs. Now riddled with adware.

      "The Land that Time Forgot"! It seems that you couldn't make an Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation in the 1970s without casting Doug McClure.

      Winner, winner, Mahar dinner!

    3. DaveD

      DaveD

      Agreed. I finally tracked down an NTSC Warlords of Atlantis and rewatched that recently. Fun stuff. Hadn't seen that since the drive-in in 1978.

       

  18. Watching Hal Linden sing.

      He plays clarinet, too, if memory serves.

    3. DaveD

      DaveD

      Well he sings better than I

      do. That's not saying much though.

  19. In honor of this week's final commercial 747 flight I will be viewing Airport '77.

    1. Corby

      Corby

      naw. watch Airplane, and Airplane 2 the sequel

    2. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      Original 747? They must be running the newer ones still..

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Kind of a blur but I'm pretty sure I saw Airport '77 in the theater as a kid.

  20. PS2 Pinball Hall of Fame: Williams Collection rocks! Those Wizard table goals are killer though.

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Thing is the ps2 version is extremely easy. Get the x360 game for a better challenge and more tables and better physics

    2. DaveD

      DaveD

      Scoring 4 million+ on Space Shuttle, one of the wizard table goals to unlock extras, is definitely NOT easy.

       

      Even getting 550,000 on Gorgar is tough. Both great tables though.

  21. Space Ace!

    1. DaveD

      DaveD

      Adding comments on a mobile device apparently behaves completely differently than on a desktop.

    2. DaveD

      DaveD

      Watching Samurai Jack and they worked a Space Ace joke into dialog mentioning a "dragon's lair."

  22. If sitting is the new smoking, I must be up to 3 packs a day.

  23. Cool behind the scenes CG breakdowns from the new Star Wars. Some spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet: http://www.cgsociety.org/news/article/1906/star-wars-the-force-awakens---breakdown

      Really cool! - Thanks.

      jaybird3rd

      I'm glad to see that they at least used real locations, with CGI added to create set pieces and set extensions, rather than filming entirely against green screens.

  24. Heading to the Midwest Gaming Classic. Gonna hang out at the arcade for a spell.

  25. Rainy evenings are Mother Nature's way of saying "go downstairs, plug in that old Atari, and play some Wizard of Wor Arcade!"
