  2. Star Wars Holiday Special on Bluray in HD remastered from the original CBS reels.  I couldn't say no for $15:  Star Wars Holiday Special 2020 Edition [Blu-ray] HD REMASTER (ecrater.com)

      Both of those are on Disney+. Even the cartoon from the Holiday Special is on Disney+. But they still won't release Song of the South.

      Funny you say that I just got Song of the South on Laserdisc (JP) and was wondering why they don't release it on blu-ray already.  Just put a disclaimer or something.

      Somebody did a 1080p restoration of Song of the South and posted it at archive.org

      The ISO image to burn to a blank Blu-ray disc is almost 21GB.

  4. Come play some Hydra in the Lynx HSC mini-season round 3!

  5. I saw a few Xbox Series S at the local walmart today (3) first time i've seen any "next gen" consoles at retail.

      Didn't buy; would want the disc version someday if they make hardware that isn't shaped like a bread box.

      Let me know when you see a Series X.  :D

  6. Today was supposed to be the last day for the PS Vita E-Shop.  

  7. Watched Karate Kid last night; to me the most improbable part is that Elizabeth Shue would be interested romantically in a new unpopular kid who looks like her little brother.

      Perhaps she felt sorry for Daniel? Or maybe she want after him to try to break away from her possessive ex. Or both.

      Daniel is from out of town, chicks dig that.

      Ya, Cobra, "New Kid" is big time-also...

      I guess something some people have trouble accepting is that some people are just made "prettier" than others. Being "Big, Strong MAN!" doesn't always equate to attractiveness, and Ralph Macchio was a "good looking" dude, and frankly, part of the unsaid storyline outside of Daniel stealing the dude's girlfriend, is that popular, rich Dudes don't tend to like good-looking dudes too much, they know they are a threat.

      Lol, I wasn't any good at it, but it seemed like I had to fight every single weekend growing up in North Florida, being pretty ain't always all it's cracked up to be.

      (Yes, I said it...)

      :P

      (Did accidentally beat up one of the dudes that started Shinedown tho, that was pretty cool!).

       

      Definitely-was way after the movie came out, but I moved from North Florida to Tennessee half way thru high school, and pretty much went thru some of the same hassling Daniel did, but I did have a few good Friends, that helped.

      Being from "anywhere else", even if you look the same, is "exotic".

      PLEASE don't make me dig up my Senior pictures to back up my bravado, lol, just trust me.

  8. I'm halfway through Ready Player One and the book lives up to the hype.  Should have read it sooner.  If you are on AA, there is a 99% chance you will love it.

      Why you think Facebook bought Occulus Rift?

       

      Zuck's version of the OASIS will be like if the bad guys won in the book/movie, all ads up in the face visor...

      Yep; he's a Suxor, not a James Halliday. 

  10. Enjoy the classic puzzle game Qix?  Come play it in this round of the Lynx High Score Club! 

  11. Should I get the C64 Mini off Amazon or wait for the full size one coming "soon" to the USA.

      If I’m not mistaking what you refer to with some other release, we’ve had the ‘full’ C64 in Norway for some years now.

       

      My bro bought it.

       

      The joystick included was stiff and liw-quality (some slight/light jam) but you can buy others.

       

      Very few games are included, so you’ll need to download roms (the money these companies can get from such antiquated releases are close to zero when bound up with other deals).

       

      Had a blast finally getting to play through SuperTrux with unlimited time, trying Pole Position II, and re-visiting many olden goldies.

       

      Download -> put on USB -> insert into C64 retro-full-version and play.

       

      But get a proper joystick for it, as the one included is kinda semi-crappy if not exactly complete disaster.

       

      Hope this helps.

       

      Good gaming.

      I bought the NTSC THEC64 Maxi off Amazon in the US about 6 months ago. I think they are sold out, although there may be another batch. Some poor guy paid $350 for a used one a week before the new batch was on sale on Amazon.

  12. Surfing or BMX?  Why not BOTH?  Join the gnarly surf and turf action in the new Mini-Season of the Lynx High Score Club starting today.  

  13. Watched "Weekend at Bernie's" for the first time last night.  WOW!  Add that to a long list of movies that could NEVER be made today haha.

      I think you underestimate how cheap I am. :) 

       

      And I don´t bother to learn how to download torrents or stuff like that. Also, I prefer non-Norwegian movies to be subtitled.

       

      Maybe I will put it on my list to Santa.

      What about a old VHS or DVD copy at thrift store for like $1? :)

      Now we are talking. I could make some phone calls, move some money and make that deal. :)

       

      Unfortunately, I think that DVD is a lot more rare here in Norway. My brother buys and sells DVDs as a hobby. If he stumbles upon it, he might remember that I want to see it.

       

      I once mentioned that I had watched some of "How the West Was Won" (the series) and thought it was great. The following Christmas the DVD box-set was under the tree.

  14. For the first time since I was a kid, i hand drew a RPG area map.  Was really fun to do, brought back many memories.  Check it out here:  Wyvern Tales - Walkthrough - Page 2 - Atari Lynx - AtariAge Forums

      Wyvern Tales for the Atari Lynx, great game!

  15. Check out the Jaguar HSC this month, featuring @CyranoJ excellent Atari ST port of Joust!  14 participants this season, come join the fun! 

  16. Did any kid make it through the 80's without taking at least one Karate class? 

    1. ColecoGamer

      (Raises Hand) This doesn’t mean that as a kid, I didn’t go outside to the backyard and try to mimic the karate moves from the movie, The Karate Kid. ?

  18. So many parallels to video game collecting.  I guess it's all been done before:  A Peek Inside the World's Greatest Record Store | Arts & Culture | Smithsonian Magazine

  19. Okay so War Games, Hackers, Sneakers, The Net, what other good computer/hacking movies am i missing?

      Lain is the first anime DVD I bought and I don't know, maybe the first DVD I bought period. It's been over 20 years, perhaps I should pull it off the shelf...

      A comedy staring Don Knotts. He’s an inept accountant who’s framed for embezzlement, & he must get evidence against the real culprits from the city’s new computer.

      For other lighter fare,  FREE GUY,...Ryan Reynolds thinks he's alive but finds out he's a video game character.  In theaters Aug. 13th.  Though if I were a betting man,  I'd say it may end up on Disney+, say, as early as 45 days later.

  20. I have to chuckle when i see games that are getting HD re-releases, and i still own the original game for the original system but never got around to playing it in the first place.

      I was looking at Skyward Sword HD for Switch today, tried to play it a few times on the Wii and couldn't get into it. No reason to buy it again...but there I was thinking about it.

      Been there (haaa...)

    4. Razzie.P

      Razzie.P

      Yeah... I bought Skyward Sword today.  Same as what you mentioned... Have it on Wii, didn't need it again 

       

      I got a problem, am some sort of whore, or both.  Oh well... Gonna go check out this "new" Zelda game

  21. VCS Black Walnut Edition for sale, Retail, Free Shipping.  PM Me.

      Does the joystick spin like a paddle?  Pretty sure I heard they decided not to do that,  but I forget...

  22. I sent a well-packed and addressed TurboDuo to Colorado Springs for repair.  It went to Denver, Pittsburgh, and is now lingering in Massachusetts. WHY!?  USPS can sure give me anxiety.

      I hear ya.  And yet I try to say, Relax,  just make sure it's insured.  But it seems like not all that long ago insurance wasn't some extra fee.  Am I misremembering?   I sent 2 7800s to Canada to be S-video/AV modded and UPS managed to bang up the package ( ? ) and put some serious scratches, with tiny missing plastic pieces on One of them.  But dealing with them was TBH,  pretty painless.  I think If I'd wanted to I COULD have made them get on eBay Buy me 2 7800s, and send those to Canada, etc.  But I'd been so long without them, and hadn't even played a 7800 yet...So I took the cash;  I think They gave me $75 for those scratches!

      PS Keep us posted.   I mean now I'm invested...Gotta know what happens ;)

      Now it is back in Denver, heading south to Colorado Springs (hopefully).  Who knows why it went to Pittsburg and Mass?  My only worry with the extra trips around the country is that it's more opportunity to be slammed about and damaged, so will update for sure when I hear of its arrival. 

  23. Trying to fix a CX-80 Trak Ball for my 7800.  Does anyone offer parts/refurb kits for these? 

  24. Watching Cocoon on Laserdisc tonight.

      What would a 1600 LD collection be worth?  Or worth buying?

       

    4. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      You could spend years selling it and make a sizable profit; but really just a lot of good movies to watch, haha.  The great thing about a bulk collection like this is you could get the discs for pennies on the dollar.  A few hundred bucks ought to get it, 300-600 unless the seller is really stubborn.  Never hurts to ask. 

  25. I was carrying three Painline 7800 Controllers this AM and one slipped and fell and shattered into like 6 pieces on my basement floor.  I hate doing stuff like that.

      Could have been worse.  It could have been your original Pro Controller for the Jag.
