Unbeliever

That's Unbelieverble!

Me Too!  Next year for me is 20 years.

Congrats!

@PacManPlus Thanks! Same to you. 

I suddenly want to know more...What did ya play?  Ms. Pacman?  Pitfall?  Demon Attack?

I answered with some rousing games of Ms. Pacman, and several exciting rounds of Missile Command...then topped the evening off with Phoenix. It was a good night...

Well, Diablo III would be considered "simple" I suppose, from what I've read. Treading into battle seems like you take very little damage and kill everything that moves. I'm not sure if others have had this experience, but last night when I played (on normal), it seemed harder. Maybe the last update balanced this more? It feels more in line with Diablo II now versus what it was a few months ago. I was actually having a struggle taking down some enemies, even "normal" ones. I was ecstatic about it, actually!  Maybe it was my imagination, but it played more like Diablo II. 

@Unbeliever there is literally no cap on difficulty level, so you can certainly take a ton of damage. At higher levels, my Demon Hunter gets one-shotted quite frequently. 

That's good to know. I guess I've just been playing it safe. Time for that to end. Then here comes the complaining that I keep getting killed!

Sounds like "Among Us"

Sequel to Bomber Crew, which I heard was an excellent game.

Thanks, retrorussell! 

You're welcome!  I know how easy it is to panic on that game.

Very easy, I'm afraid. When the monsters start whipping around, my pulse goes way up. lol

There's something cathartic about endlessly blasting robots.  I like the aesthetic of Berzerk, too, both on the Atari 2600 and 800/5200; I find the dark background, stark colors, and sparse sound effects to be very absorbing.

Yeah.  Doomsday scenario is the ticket.  I may die, but I will take some of 'em with me!

So much fun (and failure) trying to pull off the "robot shoots through the no-neck" human trick. Sometimes I get lucky...

Welcome Back Kotter

I was very impressed as well.  Everything Defender should have been on the Atari 2600.

That's one of those games that I was always jealous a friend had and I didn't.

New consoles are just too much of a hassle anymore. With confidence I can say that the Amico is going to be the last for me. Modern console that is.  

Phoenix, Amico, Evercade, Turbografx Mini, NT Mini Noir...These are "Modern Consoles" to me!

I'm just losing interest. My Xbox One S is more for media these days than game playing. Maybe being home all this time from being furloughed has changed me, but I seem to appreciate the simpler consoles more than ever.

I was gonna ask if you really really like it. But that goes without saying.

There's nothing like going back to a gaming system that has stood the test of time. It's always been my first and favorite experience into the gaming world.

Me too!  Plus Tons more on the Harmony cart and AA homebrews!

I still have a ton of boxed games to collect out there.

Gotta agree. Like most people, I resist change, and I didn't care for it at first. But it has really grown on me and I can barely remember what the old site was like.

I agree. I've forgotten the old system, but it's been awhile since I've been here.

I don't believe it

Ummm Hi! Welcome back...Welcome back Kotter! (du du du da da d a da welcome back...(doo doo doo) ) haha That was a great show...Well I do say Welcome back...and did I notice?...Errr...Hell I'm sometimes lucky if I notice what day it is

Well well, thanks folks. Good welcomes. Glad to be back with my Atari family.

No kidding! I just started playing the original Dead Space for the first time last week and it's pretty terrifying. Horror games don't usually make me feel uneasy while playing them but Dead Space is something special.

I will add though that at this point I'm about 2/3 of the way through the game and it is getting REALLY repetitive. I'll still see it through to the end, but I do like Dead Space: Extraction on the Wii more for focusing on the scares and action and doing away with the endless fetch quests.

Need to get it for PS3. I though Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii was pretty damn good too!

little and big!

Yeah, throw the Wii in the mix, and I have plenty of games to play.

Today: Turn your Pi into an emulation system.

Two decades from now: Run an emulator for Pi itself through your bioport.

CRT all the way!

On any CRT, it looks great. On an LCD, not so much.

I always thought it looks great either way...just different.

Yeah, it's a major time sink. But a fun one.

Just made an additional character with the few others I'm playing at the same time.

The Wii Sports games are great. The Sonic Games available on Wii are pretty good (Secret Rings has really poor motion controls though.) Namco Museum is good too.

I've always just thought Wii Bowling was fun as shit! ... Sometimes it's the simple pleasures...I still have friends who drop by every so often and recommend we bust out the bowling...

Bowling, Boxing, and Baseball on Wii Sports were the best!

Once your real close it tells you to go ahead and call it VCS.

We've had a falling out as of late. That level of trust might be awhile.

Ahhh. Vader.

I was going to do the same thing today but then i realized it was 90 degrees yesterday and i live in California. Think i'll just skip it altogether.

Good luck!
