Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade turned 30....let that sink in

I watched original Star Wars at a Late Show and fell Asleep the first time...Stayed awake the second time just fine. (Age 9)..Also had a cassette and story book with photos from the movie...Lots of action figures too

Pretty sure I also had T-Shirts of Star Wars and Close Encounters as a kid.

(It seems to have something to do with Game of Thrones, but I'm not watching to find out why.)

He's gaining popularity because people keep mentioning him in online status updates. Nothing to due with GOT, I'm sure.

Like sleep 7 hrs a night?

I've been running on six hours a night or less all semester. Not something I can happily do for long.

I was too distracted looking at his collection in the background.

(I decided to bump an existing thread instead.)

Usually, 5200 ports with bad sound means Pokey isn't properly initialized. Sticking a register wipe in the startup fixes it.

^ That possibility occurred to me as well, but the 800 prototype was a native version for the 800 series, and it still has the sound problem (unless it too was a 5200 conversion and there was no "official" 800 version). Very curious.

Come to iOS. We have Swift.

Unfortunately, you need a complete Apple stack for iOS development, which our school doesn't have. (At least not in the Computer Science department; we've traditionally been a Dell shop.)

At least you can get cheap candy the day after Valentine's. All you get on April 2 is the relief that the previous day is over.

i hear you- i friggin' hate today lol.

That's totally how it goes lol Every time I've bought a $100+ item on eBay over the last year or so they've always given me a 10-15% off coupon a day or two later, which of course is only valid for a 24 hour period during which I have no money to spend because I already blew it all on my previous purchase. =P

8% back in eBay Bucks offer went live today.

^ Ha! I knew there'd be something.

Or (Now this one I'm proud of for being not..normal) Maybe the person who designed the label has a rare medical condition whereby they don't see the letter "s", Or the Printer of the label had long suspected the Designer of the label had been having an affair with his wife...He wanted simple revenge...

Misspelling that may not seem like Revenge to you or I, but when you have a medical condition that allows you to think a misspelling is somehow a much greater deal than it actually is...

Space Invaders for VCS has 112 video games!!

Hahaha... That probably explains why I didn't get the job as a computer lab instructor a few years ago. I told them in an interview that I was willing to play Minecraft to better relate to the kids.

That's AWESOME! The Atari 8bit computers had amazing games.

Archon & Realm of Impossibility. 2 of my favorite games

Oh my.

For the unfamiliar, this was RetroVGS/Chameleon after the initial humiliation but before the total fraud.

"The Chameleon is not just a rebranded Retro VGS. Despite sharing some of the same internal components the hardware has been completely redesigned" MK

New Coleco Console that Chameleon?

Awesome.

1up!

I'm fairly certain I got all of them over the decades.

Played the game a few months ago. I'll have to look at it again to be sure, but getting any hole-in-ones seems pretty impressive to me, I doubt I'd be able to do it.

I had the wrist-watch version from Tiger. I had to say that line out loud.

WELCOME TO YOUR DOOM

I don't actually like Altered Beast, but I still feel compelled to pick up a copy for my Genesis because it feels weird to have one and not the other.

New taco comments that taco thread?

^ Now try Orlando Bloom's "live" version:

Sorry to hear you're laid out with a cold... and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

"Tell me where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him!"

HBD!

Happy Belated, Al.

Happy Birthday

Be prepared to work, but don't worry if you have to leave if it's a bad fit and you're miserable.

I had a career for 15 years as a Broadcasting Tech, and when I left to "semi-retire" there was tears and cake, but even in that example, my initial employment with the company was held up for 4 months by a pencil pushing dimwit (Who didn't even last there very long)...I had multiple friends within the company who went to bat for me just to even get on initially, and many friends who would have been good workers were turned away at the gates while the company hired misanthropic num...

Also, cliched though it may be, it's happiness and not money that won out in the end for me

That's a good price. Too bad it'll run into the several hundreds.

And to you all!! Had to check in once today on my other family, AA

Happy Thanksgiving to all -- and ... of course ... THANKS!

Yeah to you guys as well! Cheers!

South Park 64. Because Turkeys

Me...I'm Thankful for a day off! Which means I can play Any game I want!!! (I know what you mean, though...Nothing is really Thanksgiving themed)....I'd like to see a game where you play some evil Grinch or Grinch-like character and you start shooting those big balloons in the Thanksgiving Day Parade to ruin it for everyone else hahaa....***Yeah they'd never make such a game because some chucklehead would try it in real life or something***

What a rip off. I got my Aquarius at Kay Bee Toys for $49.99! If I had only waited another month or two I might have saved ten bucks!

I had on of those little buggers BITD. Enjoyed programming on it and remember enjoying some games like AD&D, Tron and Utopia. But not for long. Was too easily eclipsed by my TI-99/4A and Intellivision. Still, I'll take the Aquairius over a Timex Sinclair 1000 any old day! lol

I was so close to buying one of those at Kay Bee Toys when they went on clearance. Awesome that you own one with the original receipt.
