[Idea for a new game]

Oh so like the Advance Wars series.

Voila, not walla.

[The OFFICIAL AtariAge SECRET SANTA 2015 Thread]

I'm not even going to pretend I'm waiting for Christmas because I already busted open the box to see what loot came my way. Man was this an impressive find!

 

 

I picked up the Missile Command LCD game first and I smirked when I saw the little red joystick poking out of the wrapped item. I had a Super Breakout like this. The next thing I picked up was a small square, and when I felt the speedbump ridge on one side, I ripped that right open like an ecstatic kid because I knew it was a game gear cartridge, which could only mean...a Game Gear!! and another GG game!! and then a 3DS game!! SCORE! not to mention the nice little Christmas card from "Santa".

 

I've already given both GG games a go with six fresh batteries in the system, which works flawlessly! I'll enjoy 3DS Shinobi very soon, possibly tonight!

 

Thanks, SS!!

 

 

afterthought: man, i wish i would have christmas-wrapped the items I sent to my person, and put in a card. That was really a nice touch.

my SS recipient finally went out today, and when i got home i had a SS package waiting for me! i'm checking to see if it says "don't open 'til xmas"...

[Oldest Christmas-Themed Game?]

^ 34 years ago and not very old? lol that makes me not very old! thanks!

[bluetooth Atari CX-40 ?]

if you're referring to original hardware, yeah, i have all that too. i was a purist until we had a kid and i was forced to put all my shit in storage. so until we move into a bigger house, i have to cycle out systems and also rely on emulation to maximize my game availability.

[The OFFICIAL AtariAge SECRET SANTA 2015 Thread]

i got all my stuff together. just waiting for a box i can use to ship. (my wife buys a lot of crap online) LOL.

[bluetooth Atari CX-40 ?]

[bluetooth Atari CX-40 ?]

other than this crazy mod, is there any known development on a non-usb bluetooth version of everyone's favorite retro controller? i'd love to pair one up with my tablet.

[Most unreliable/problematic video game console you ever owned?]

my old game gear sucked. a lot of blue or white screens of death, even after using the cleaning cartridge and cleaning cartridges.

 

and my sega saturn and the failed battery modification.

5. Jaws (NES)

 

I'm pretty sure I've beaten more than five games so far this year, but I've only noted four previous to this entry.

 

There's nothing really special about this game but I enjoy stabbing that overgrown guppy in the face with my boat. I learned today that the highest level you can power up to is 9, and then you earn another strobe at the price of 10 conch shells from then on. I cleared the game on power level 8, which is a personal best. When the power level is that high, you face shark after shark after shark while trying to take down Jaws at the same time. Good thing I had a turbo button. I bet power level 9 throws in those "heat-seeking" jellyfish too. I barely ever find the submarine. I think it's usually in the rightmost section.
