  1. Watched Halloween III earlier tonight. Great movie on it's own.  Anyone know what kind of computer was used to create the flashing magic pumpkin.

      Pretty high res for 1981. 320 width, maybe even 512.

      Underrated Flick!  I like it better than a lot of the other chronological Halloween movies.

      You can't go wrong with the Sliver Shamrock theme.

  2. Can't beat final battle without getting k/o to get MEW in Smash brothers and no one gave me any advice in the switch forum.

      bradhig1

      I can't even beat on easy because either final boss uses either diagonal or ring lasers which kill me no matter what my health is at. 

  3. After hearing about the incident in a Target parking lot over sports trading cards I am afraid of toy scalpers who might want to shoot me trying to buy a 2021 castle grayskull playset.  I never had the original one.

      Aside from I should think that would be a rare thing (incident I mean)...Have them put it in a big bag so no one can see what you've bought;  Problem solved.  Or just order it online I guess.

      Never bring a gun to a card battle.

  4. Part of me wants to kill the creator of Marble Craze because I feel they are trying to kill me with insane difficulty.   Can't remember which paddle does what at times , can't stop rolling in time , and can't move slowly enough to complete the levels.  I don't think anyone have completed it  Is getting easy enjoyable games to hard to ask for anymore?

      I gave up on the game. There were certain elements about it (beyond the controls) that were unfair. (Such as restarting you prior to an obstacle that you already cleared, situations where your timer could just run out over and over, etc.) More frustration than fun for me. But I know some people really like it.

      I tried to hack it in Stella but couldn't get the timer and lives counter to stop

      I got all the eggs in duck attack.   Marble Craze is like Adventure 2s death after being eaten once by a dragon with no reset option.

  5. nothing on but the mayrid of corprate name bowls on.  Do we really need soo many?

  6. Prices for the newer Nintendo 3ds XL with the camera knob above the buttons and new 3d sensor are insane on Amazon and Ebay  Anyone know where I can find one cheep?

    1. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Good thing that I bought my NEW 2DS XL when I did.

  7. been playing GTA V on Xbox one.   Can't get Duke of Death car or Dodo seaplane without being a returning player which means having to play the game on xbox 360 first and then on xbox one.  I don't wanna buy an xbox 360 and 360 version to get those vehicles and the stock car races.

  8. could you make some Star Raiders overlays for me?

    1. pboland

      pboland

      Please check your PM's.

  9. Could I get some new Star Raiders overlays for the 5200?

    1. wongojack

      Send a message to @pboland

    2. ten-four

      ten-four

      Sorry, I do not make overlays at all.

  10. I wish there was a playthrough of Marble Craze, Adventure II on the 5200, and Toyshop Trouble on youtube sadly there are none.

      KevinMos3

      I finally played all the way through Toyshop Trouble around January of this year.  It's gets extremely difficult and sometimes seems to be as much luck as skill.  Love the game though and my wife really likes it too (although she prefers to watch me play than to play herself).

    2. bradhig1

      bradhig1

      and a playthrough of secret quest as well.

  11. I can't stand it when people celebrate someone getting banned from here like rjchamp3 when Albert said congrations.   I makes me sad.  I politcal and reglious discussions don't bother me execpt flamewars.    Not much bothers me anyone after all the pain and suffering I have been through my whole life.  I am scared I might get banned someday.

      Look, if it reduces your anxiety somewhat, it generally takes quite a bit for Albert to get the ban hammer out. You're relatively new. I've been here since ... uh ... 2004-ish, I think? And I can guarantee you that I'm not the only one who's let his emotions run away from him sometimes. Yet most of us are still here, with very different political opinions. You have to bear in mind that any forum's success lies with its members. I have noticed that a few have drifted away after getting involved in political arguments on here.

      Yeah,  Avoiding Religion & Politics, and personal attacks on other people shouldn't be too hard...

  12. While watching an old episode of concentration I saw TV games matched and the prize was a Coleco Telstar.

      I have the faintest of memories as a rugrat watching the Jack Narz version.

  13. Another Rubiks 4x4 wasted after an edge pop causes the whole thing to fall apart.

  14. We had a Tornado Emergency here in Kansas last night and there was another one in Ohio. People in Ohio were getting killed while idiots whinnied about some reality show getting interrupted

      Our little town was hit by an EF-3 last year, so I can sympathize with everyone in harm's way. Stay safe!

      I worked at a TV station in Kansas for 10 years. Every time there was severe weather, we got bombarded with phone calls from people angry that we were interrupting their program when they weren't in the path of the storm. If I had a nickel for every time I had to explain to one of those morons that our broadcast signal didn't cover only their house...

  15. When games become chores in there own to beat they are not fun anymore even Nintendo's game like Super Smash Brothers Switch and Hyrule Warriors. Beating the story is as irreverent as beating one level. Why can't get game have only a handfull of unlocks and story mode instead of being over padded with unlockables , grinding, and too much work.

      Super Smash Bros. is all about multiplayer for me... always was.

    3. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      Thinking more about it, most of the Switch games I own are fairly linear story-driven affairs. Doom, Sonic Mania Plus, Fe, Night in the Woods, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and Resident Evil: Revelations 1 & 2 all fall into that category. Basically just steer clear of multiplayer focused titles like Mario Kart, Smash, and Splatoon and you should be good. =)

      i bought SSMB in December- i unlocked all the fighters, but i'm frankly bored with the game.

  16. Lots of classic Scifi on tonight. Comet is running two episodes of Space1999 and MeTV is running an episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th century. I expected the shows to look grainy but they look good as new.

      Wow, I love both of those shows. They might have used film and when they did a DVD release went back and scanned them at a high resolution. I know I was blown away by the DVD release/clean up/look of the original Star Trek TV series.

    3. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I don't know about "Space: 1999", but "Star Trek" and "Buck Rogers" both look amazing on Blu-ray (there are a few specks of dirt here and there, but they're few and far between). In contrast, newer shows from the 80s and 90s often look a lot worse because they're limited to tape transfers.

    4. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      The older shows look better on Blu-Ray cause they transfer the film stock instead of video tapes. But on TV channels they're still in SD format but still look good.

  17. The night the Ultimate Easter Egg in Haunted Adventure Trilogy was found

      yes I am. Could someone tell Attwong

  18. Just beat Darker Side of the Moon and it's insane. After 30-60 minutes of yelling I made it to the top of the building. I have 510 moons so far. No sign of the Apollo Lunar Modules anywhere.

  19. Just finished Super Mario Odyssey and beat bowser on the moon. Bowser get a life you stupid reptile and leave Peach alone.

  20. Can't understand why pairing of fictional characters is sometimes called shipping?

      I heard the term "shipper" back in 1999. People who wanted Skully and Mulder on the X-files to have a relationship were called shippers.

    4. Bakasama

      Bakasama

      You never heard of "shipping"? I hang around fandoms for newer cartoons. That term pops up alot. Still, they're one of most toxic aspects of fandoms. Ship wars among Harry Potter fans wasn't pretty.

  21. still can't find ultimate easter egg in haunted adventure trilogy. rom dumping didn't help. can't edit the blue stairway screen on game 3 so I can go off the right side of the screen.

      Back in the day, Easter Eggs could take forever to find. Some are 30 to 40 years old when they're finally found.

      I found the initials in Yar's Revenge in the 90's! Only now can I look up how I did it!

  22. Why did they have to put the trackpad in front of the keyboard on my laptop it keeps getting in the way and causing the pointer to move and text to be highlighted.

      You can change the sensitivity of it in your control panel.

      I meant touchpad.

       

    4. TheTIGuy

      TheTIGuy

      "TrackPad" is technically correct depending on the manufacturer.

      ALSO, this question is a bit stupid, as there are rests on either side to prevent this.

      AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T WANT ANY OF THIS STUFF, there are USB mice. YOU HAVE OPTIONS.

  23. I thought about apologizing to the group about the easter egg problem but I don't think it would do any good. I wanted to be apprericated for what I found in that game and hoped it would inspire others to get out their copies and try to find it again. Attwong last said think more old school exploration in that haunted house map in game 3 I don't know it that meant adventure exploration or haunted house exploration.

      I thought about shoving a weasel up my ass, so I did. Do I regret it? Yes I do. Why am I asking questions and answering them? I don't know.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      IMO an apology Never hurts, though it might not change minds. But you should apologize because you're sorry, Not because you're worried about the way people perceive you.

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      That said, THIS could be a turning point in your life! Time to be Master of Your Destiny! An Easter Egg is supposed to be icing on the cake not a raison d'être. So you've found your White Whale, Your one armed man. How do YOU win? It's like in Wargames. You don't Play! (Put another way, Enjoy the game, But the Easter Egg? As Osgeld said, Let it Go!!)

  24. I did get my old account working again after getting into the email account it was linked to. I checked all the PMs looking for clues I thought I lost to the easter egg. Nothing there. I am not going to use it cause I am using this one and don't want to create confusion.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I'd say play the game for fun...And then if you happen upon the Easter Egg, it's a bonus.

    2. Random Terrain

      What was your old user name?

  25. NO MORE EASTER EGGS IN HOMMBREWS PLEASE AND NO MORE CONTESTS CAUSE NO ONE INVOLVED IN THE TESTEING OF HAUNTED ADVENTURE TRILOGY WILL RELIEVE THE SOO CALLED AND NO EXISTENT ULTIMATE EASTER EGG. THERE IS NO WAY TO FIND IT WITHOUT HACKING THE GAME.

      I feel like I am the only one trying to find it anymore. I thought posting those screenshots and videos would encourage others to look for it

      bradhig1

      I suffer from Anxiety and this game and its easter egg are causing it to go crazy. Somebody dump the game and hack it to find the egg thats the only way anyone is going to see it.
