    Just took delivery of a custom-built Suhr set neck modern guitar. It's amazing!

    Picked up 2600 Sprint Master for a buck. What a great game. Whoever programmed this one really pushed the console!

    Chuck Norris CAN win Impossible Mission on the 7800.

      He can even coax the TIA to output Pokey sound, just by staring threateningly at the console.

    Wife is taking the 3 year old out of town Saturday and Sunday. It's Atari (and sci-fi movie) time!

      Two things: Hug and kiss the wife and the 3 year old until you can't do it anymore - little ones are too precious to miss those things! and then ... PARTY ON, DUDE! Make time for Spacehunter!!! The Overdog will not be pleased if you don't!

    Got 4 loose 2600 carts for $10: No Escape, James Bond 007, Blueprint and GI Joe Cobra Strike. THe last three were marked $10 each, but he gave me the whole lot for $10. Score!

      Nice score. I never played James Bond but Cobra was always fun.

    I love that there are full, hour+ 70s Black Sabbath concerts on Youtube.

      I love YouTube during the times when everything doesn't get deleted. If you find something you like, download it before it goes away.

    Thinking about playing some 2600 this weekend.

      Do, or do not. There is no think.

      I'll have to get back to you on Monday. :)

    Picked up Journey Escape (Data Age, 2600), Space Chase (Apollo, 2600) and Afterburner 2 (Genny) for a grand total of $2.12 at Flea World.

      Nice score!

    Finished another DragonLance book - "Kindred Spirits" the first of six "Meetings" spinoffs. Five more to go...

    1. DamonicFury

      DamonicFury

      Wow, I remember reading the first three of those "Meetings" books twenty years ago! Never did read the second trilogy, but I did read the new Weis/Hickman books when they eventually came out.

  10. BydoEmpire

    At work, eating a falafel sandwich, listening to Steve Vai, and writing Performance Reviews for my team. Good stuff.

    Went to an honest to goodness arcade yesterday. Disney's Riverside resort. It was actually pretty good - played Space Ivaders, Qix, and Millipede.

    1. Metal Ghost

      Metal Ghost

      Cool, they have one there too? I've been to Disney Quest in Downtown Disney. I missed out last time I took the family there, but on my Honeymoon (many years ago) that place was off the hook! Also, about a year & 1/2 ago I was at the arcade at the Contemporary. Very cool place and nice setting....seemed '80's like', whatever that means.

      Haven't been to DQ in a LOOONG time. $48 entry fee is steep, bu they do have a good selection. Here's my writeup on Riverside's arcade: http://www.gamegavel.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5442&p=32188#post32188

    Playing Keystone Kapers on the 5200!

    1. Grig

      Grig

      Fun, awesome game on both the 2600 and 5200! Enjoy!

      PitfallHarry2600

      Have fun! Great Game from the times Activision made good games. Nowadays they just make overrated FPSs

  13. BydoEmpire

    Finally got my Pinbot cart to work on the NES. What a great video pin!

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      yes, and High Speed wasn't too shabby either

    Hoping to play some 5200 this weekend and get a start on the Season 5 HSC.

  15. BydoEmpire

    Decent day at Flea World - no spectacular deals, but grabbed a bunch of NES games I wanted.

  16. BydoEmpire

    Just finished my first Ravenloft book - good, but depressing. Everyone died at the end. Are they all like this?

  17. BydoEmpire

    Played some River Raid on 5200 this morning.

  18. BydoEmpire

    Go Pack, go!

  19. BydoEmpire

    Played 5200 Space Dungeon for the first time today. Thanks Santa (and atari2600.com for their good prices and fast shipping)!

  20. BydoEmpire

    NES Gyruss is a really cool version of the game!

    1. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      Very different then the arcade game, but yes, I agree it's quite fun. :)

  21. BydoEmpire

    Dear arcade version of Frenzy: why do I love you even though you're so freaking hard?

      Except ET

      Well, ET did have that freakishly long finger, so he could probably ... oh, wait, you're saying that the ET _game_ was hard. Never mind.

      Hard games can be fun. I never thought Mega Man was the easiest game but it is still fun to play. I want to see this game.

    Only a few minutes of gaming time today. Atari or Intellivision?

      Intelligent Television!

      INTV! Astrosmash is a good choice if you only have a few minutes.

  23. BydoEmpire

    Thinking of selling a couple of my consoles.

  24. BydoEmpire

    I love classic games because after 30 years I'm STILL having fun with them. I can still get a better score, and even if I don't get better, I still have fun just playing them.

    1. greencoman

      greencoman

      Agreed. I think now I can appreciate them more and now that I feel my mind is not a racy as it was as a kid they became more fun. When I played sonic 2 the fun was just beating the game. Now I think I will set out to get the gems as well. I know how you feel.

       

    2. PsychoKittyNet

      PsychoKittyNet

      Agreed.

    I cracked open my first beer at about 2pm, but stopped after that one.
