    Turns out it's Swedish, but apparantly my Danish buddy can read that language as well.

     

     

    Spel i kärlekens tecken - Tomas "Xtrmntr" Andersson

     

    Games in the sign of love

     

    Helger är av tradition nyhetsfattiga, men denna lördag torde slå någon sorts rekord i fråga om brist på spelrelaterade nyheter. FZ-bossarnas oxpiska viner dock obönhörligen, så håll till godo med denna nyhet som inte har något som helst med PC-spel att göra.

     

    Weekends are rare on news, but this saturday all the gamingsites was beating that - absolutely no news that was related to PC gaming but the FZ-bosses had this one :

     

    Ni som varit med ett tag minns konsolen Atari 2600. I forumavdelningen hos AtariAge, en sida tillägnad den klassiska spelmaskinen, meddelar en kärlekskrank individ vid smeknamn pmpddytim att han ämnar fria till sin flickvän med hjälp av spelet Donkey Kong. Planen är att flickvännen efter att ha klarat första banan av spelet ska mötas av ett frieri. Den gode pmpddytim vill ha hjälp med att klä sitt frieri i passande skrud. Fram till den 17 april har alla som känner sig manade chansen att skicka in sina förslag. Vinnaren kammar hem 25 dollar att investera i AtariAges online-shop.

     

    You, who has been into gaming for a while remembers the console Atari 2600. On the forum at AtariAge, a site dedicated to this classic gaming machine - a user in love named "pmpddytim" declared that he would propose to his girlfriend with the help from Donkey Kong : The Plan was, when his girlfriend manage to get through the first round of the game, she would be met with the proposal. The good "pmpddytim" would like help with suitable clothes and up til April 17 you can post your suggestions. The winner will get $ 25 to invest in AtariAges online-shop.

    I think "suitable clothes, should have been "suitable label".

    You can slide the cover down by inserting pretty much anything that will fit (I usually use a toothpick) into either of the slots on both sides of the longer slot that the pcb goes through. As far as cleaning goes alcohol and qtips works on 99% of the games I've ever cleaned.

    I just recently converted a dead arcade machine into a MAME cabinet. I guess I've got the bug to do custom vintage game stuff right now. The VCS project is still at a pretty early stage right now - just a lot of stuff scattered all over the bench. :D

    I mounted mine to a board too. Seemed like a good idea. This junior isn't going back into it's case. It's part of a Self contained VCS project that I'm doing right now. Eventually it will have an LCD screen and custom made arcade style controls all in one enclosure. I'll post pictures when I'm a little further along.

    I still prefer my take-turns approach to picking games.

     

    So do I. No fuss, no muss. I sayyou get to go first since it was your idea.

     

    (Like, both people will just get the same score for that game and we'll move on).

     

    Again, simple is good. This seems like a reasonable enough plan to me.

    Those are good choices. I think the first game should be a really common one that everyone who wants to partipate is likely to have. That way we'll have more people who want to get involved with this.

     

    Since we're just going on the honor system I don't see rolling the score as a problem, just add up your final score with whatever the game's highest pre-roll score is. I can't imagine that anyone here is sad enough to cheat on this little contest.

    Gah! I fold like a cheap card table. PM me your address and I'll snail mail you the payment.

     

    You had to post pictures! Looks just like the one I got for my 9th birthday. 8)

    We signed up for the do not call list when it first became available. Our telemarketer calls have dropped to almost zero. The only one we were still getting was from SBC trying to sell long distance service. After two calls a day and with me telling them I'm not interested every time I finally exploded at them the last time they called. Used quite a bit of "not for prime time" language and treatened to call my lawyer. Suddenly they don't call anymore either. So there you go. A combo of signing up for the do not call list and over the top hostility worked for me.
