  1. Gotta try this when I get the chance. My 1020 has been collecting dust because only the red pen works. Looks better than the Pilot BPS pen refill method since you don't need the original pen cases.
  2. Is that a Vectrex inside of an arcade machine? It has four buttons and a joystick like a Vectrex controller and it has a vertical monitor like the Vectrex.
  3. If you're going to talk about lost Taito games then you might as well mention Vertexer. Despite it looking like the middle ground between the original F-Zero and F-Zero X and having dazzling sprite-scaling effects, the game did poorly in location tests and was shelved. The game itself is unplayable in Mame but you can listen to the original soundtrack online.
  4. At this point, people will do anything to make bank off of hunks of plastic with a bit of electronics inside. I wouldn't be surprised if people found out how to make counterfeit grade boxes.
  5. Fun fact: The Gameboy version of Race Drivin' was developed by Argonaut Software who also worked on X with Nintendo, which would explain why the game runs so smoothly.
  6. Hi, I just got my copy of Baby Pac-Man in today. When I tried playing it, it would boot to the Atari logo, but after that it would display a black screen. I'm not sure if my cartridge is defective or my 7800 just doesn't like the game. Has anyone else had this problem with either this game or homebrew in general?
  7. Got my first round in today! All of the 2600 games work fine, but for some reason Baby Pac-Man for the 7800 boots to a black screen after the Atari logo. I don't know if it's my 7800 or the cartridge because I've never had a 7800 game not work like that before. I also don't have any other homebrew games to try right now because my second and third purchases were not delivered yet.
  8. Got Bust-A-Move aka Puzzle Bobble for the SNES a few days ago. It's easily one of my favorite versions of the game because you can use the shoulder buttons to make fine adjustments to your aim. Are there any other ports that have that feature?
  9. I always thought that Asteroids' extra life beep sounded like it came from the kitchen area at a McDonald's. They could have at least sped up the beeping so it sounds more like the arcade version.
  10. Continuing the yearly tradition of playing Nintendo Ice Hockey every December. The game often gets overshadowed by Blades of Steel, but I think it holds up pretty well as a simpler, more arcade-like take on the sport.
  11. Was away from home for a few days, so I played this one on my hacked 3DS. My best score so far is 397,940. It's kind of weird how touching the Kailo in the arcade version automatically ends the level while this version lets you kick it around.
  12. Now that someone has mentioned it, is modding the N64 for RGB worth it? My SNES looks amazing with RGB, but the n64 relies a lot on trilinear filtering for its textures and I'm wondering if RGB would make it look like a blurry mess.
  13. I am currently in my 20s and got my 600XL during my teen years when I was really into pre-crash gaming. Like the C64, I mostly use it as a games machine although I do occasionally diverge into the more utility aspects of the Atari 8-Bit.
  14. Unfortunately, it's not something that "no one cares about." It's not just Nintendo vs. Sega either, I've seen people arguing online over Amiga vs. Atari ST. Maybe it's because I didn't exist during the 90s, but I seriously do not understand why some people want to revive asinine schoolyard squabble so baddly.
