Jumpman1981

There was also Betmax which competed against VHS in the format wars.  Before VHS, there was U-Matic cassettes; those were only used by TV stations but were planned for the consumer market.  You also had the short-lived Cartrivision system, Video 8 and Hi8, the latter two being more for home movies than consumer home video.

I know about the other formats, and I have a Betamax deck and a few tapes. I was just pointing out how it's odd that VHS tapes are always specifically called 'VHS' when there's no real need to distinguish it anymore, as most people probably aren't aware that there were other formats. It's like if everyone started calling Coke 'Original Coke', even after New Coke has fallen into obscurity. 

Maybe it's just for clarity...Some people I knew had Betamax,...But by and large conjuring  memories of the bygone days of VCRs and renting tapes at one of many, many locations...Being Kind and rewinding haha...It only takes the words "VHS Tapes"...Or maybe saying "On VHS"... Good Times though!

Wow, that hand-drawn marquee artwork is very cool to see.

I wonder if there's any differences to the game itself, or if it's just the cab.

There would be an amber alert on the kid so fast it would make your head spin.

Also, Every kid that age has a cellphone it seems so they could just call whoever

among the million options they would have. Like Jay said, the movie would be

over before it started.

Perhaps it'll be set in the 80s/90s like the first movie, just with better effects/acting/visuals and such.

You don't want my opinion on remakes.  Well it's the same as everyone else's but with more profanity and gruesome, horrific, imagery.  Just once I want a remake where they can't use the original title and I don't get my hopes up when I see it on TV....

I don't know...They seemed to have a good time the first time around...

What cool things can we do so we can be the "bees knees"?

I couldn't remember off the top of my head if he was directly referenced in DK Jr. as Mario for the first time.  Yes-- it's shown in the arcade version as the "Marios" pull DK up in the cage.  It reads: GET KEY FROM MARIO.  SAVE YOUR PAPA!

What I want to know is;  Is the game referring to both of them collectively as Mario, or is it only referring to one of them?

Of course they're both Marios, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario as referenced in the Super Mario Brothers movie.

What do you get a wookiee for Christmas when he already owns a comb? It's pretty amazing that was Jon Bon Jovi singing on that record.

The first 5 or 10 minutes was just Wookiee family grunting, right? No spoken dialogue for what felt like hours, if I recall. 

and we loved every minute of it!!!

I thought he just went through the eastern tunnel and popped up in the west? LOL!

It's just a retread of the Wii U game, right?

It's a port of the Wii U game. No new anything at all other than introducing two new playable characters. Honestly, I'm ok with this. F the Wii U, might as well make it completely worthless by bringing over every decent game in its library.

Always. There's always generational loss with VHS.

Let me guess ... ad copy for "PAC-MAN by Atari?"

Except they said it in Japanese, so no one could understand them.

Nintendo has a little over 5000 employees. While people put career ahead of family in Japan, I would think at least 500 of those have kids.

The guy so nice they named him twice.

Fun fun fun, let's have some Supercade fun fun fun!

Saturday Supercade will return after these messages. (Giant telescope swings around, following UFO)

Yeah, mine closed a while back. It's truly a sign of the times.

Mine closed almost two years ago now. Was replaced with a Dick's Sporting Goods.

sears got screwed in a kmart reversal, the idiots that drove kmart into the ground sucked sears dry too.. They all cashed out.

Happy new year!

Wooo!

Bah, 9:37pm here.

Merry Christmas Eve!

11 hours and 53 minutes until Christmas now where I live!

Merry Christmas!

He's just a poor boy from a poor family

Spare him his life from this monstrosity!

I'm picturing a blue Pacer...

Trek is definitely under-served in terms of games. There was supposed to be a Final Frontier game too, but we know how that movie turned out.

The SCUMM-type adventure games of the mid-1990s were wonderful.

I am mildly obsessed with the very free-to-play Star Trek Timelines. I think it's neat. Your mileage may vary.

That would have been better than seeing an upside down Enterpirse warping in Astron Belt...

Star Trek: Judgment Rites is killer.

About time !

yeah! I remember when the 1st one came out... a decade ago, or there about!
