82-T/A

Please add me to the pre-order list.

Dude... guess what was in my mailbox this afternoon? The box I shipped you. LITERALLY, the font for your address... not only was it in hte proper section (the only section), but it's 100 times larger than the font of my return sticker (the little free ones you get from Wounded Warrior). The digital code is actually metered for your address... HOW in God's name, they decided that it was supposed to be shipped to my house (less than a mile away), is beyond me. Completely absurd. So I took it back and asked htem, and the guy was like... "Sorry... this is emberassing." So, you should get it like a day later. I mean, I know shipping was free anyway... but still... thought you'd want to know. I just don't get how they could have screwed that up.

Crazy... I remember a few years ago... some guy in China or somewhere bought out a storage unit with 100s of these brand new in the box. I bought one... never opened, for $35 shipped. I sold it 6 months later for $50 cause I was like... what am I going to do with this???

Thanks!!! I'll download it when I get on a computer.

Hahaha... man... I really want you to be wrong. But I'm becoming more and more sure you're right. I'm never going to see my $250 again. Lol...

Hah, sorry... if I find more stuff, I'll post it, but I'm pretty much getting near the end of stuff that's free or blow-out. Maybe in another year or so if I decide to blow out my 7800 games.

The "holy grail" for playing vintage computer games is the Roland SCC-1. There's one on eBay right now selling for ~$730. It's not mind, and I have no intention of ever selling it, but yeah... I just realized I had no need for the Roland Sound Canvas that I had. And... one thing I found frustrating about the daughter boards is that they are not natively General MIDI compatible. Like, for example... Wing Commander, Ultima 6, and the old Sierra Games simply cannot use the Roland card in native DOS mode.. (you have to window them through Windows and have the MPU401.DRV installed). But it will still work for the newer DOS games like... Wing Commander 3, or... Ultima 7, or games like DOOM and some such.

I was walking down the street and saw this super hot girl off in the distance. As I got closer, I realized she was speciously attractive. As they say... good from far, but far from good!

Thanks, kind of sad... but you know... I can't keep two of them. And... no point in using the brand new one when I have my original and it works!

Damn... that went quick. Someone bought it with the buy it now...

So... I'm a troll now because we don't agree on politics? You should be able to not let my preferences affect your ability to associate with me on a video game message board.

On my phone... so not sure if you're getting my reply. I don't know if that is the one in talking about. There was another SF3 game too. Any chance I can get a copy of that whole source folder? Do any of the images in that source match what you see in the video? I have the SF3 tech demo... and its not the same one as in the video... also, think it runs in Windows.

No! This is good stuff! When the aliens come millions of years from now, and they find THIS thread, which was incidentally stored on one of the raid drives from Albert's system... that had been encased in mud from the horrific Austin Mudslide of 2029, and this thread is still continuing... they can use it as an indicator of what life was like on Earth...

Hahah. Glad your common sense won. Man, I JUST bought the entire Ultima 7 series on GoG because it was $0.89, and then also bought Ultima 9 Ascension because it too was $0.89. I actually didn't have Ultima 9... never bought it, but I did have the Complete Ultima 7 on CD already.

Yeah... I realized after I'd been saying LAPC-1 over and over... that what I actually have is the Roland SCC-1. It's an 8-bit card, does native MT-32, but also has the Sound Canvas sets too. This one... I have that in my Pentium 2 Server, it's a dual (cartridge) P2 with 233MHz chips, and a bunch of other stuff. It's an ACER ALTOS 1000 mini-server. It has a bunch of PCI slots... I "THINK" an AGP slot, if I'm not mistaken, and a bunch of 16-bit ISA slots as well. I have Windows 98 SE loaded on it, booting into DOS automatically.

We were using Tortoise SVN... and honestly, I don't remember any of the unit or class/include names. We're talking almost 2 decades ago... I've gone through all my drives. I just cannot find it. I really wish I had it still...

Which, by the way, is an awesome game! I never played Downfall, but I did buy Downfall+ when it was for sale on cartridge... it's awesome! While it seems light and fun... there is a sense of eternal despair when I allow myself to think about the fact that I am in a free-fall into a cave, and unless there's some magic where I come out the other side... I know it's simply a matter of me forever being stuck in the pit.

Hah, that's not what I meant... oh well. My wife's a Democrat, so I'm used to this stuff.

Yup... my Diamond Monster 3DFX already sold, just blew it out for $15... already in a box at the post office. Roland is still sitting there, but it's already got 3 watchers and has had like 30 views. My original KayPro 8088 (brand new) just sold for $475... didn't even sit in auction for more than a few hours... was pretty shocked.

Woah dude... not everyone here has the same views. Can we just have a little fun and not get so angry? Not quoting... just in case you want to delete all the stuff you said so we can keep this thread light and fun, and not get it locked.

Back in the day, they used to come with some really cool stuff. There was one... anyone remember Sentinel Worlds - Future Magic 1? My brother got that for Christmas back in like 1988. It came with the game, a t-shirt that said "In a battle helmet, no one can hear you scream!" (haha)… a poster that said the same thing, and then a novel. All of it is gone, except the manuals and floppy disks. But I've been trying endlessly to find the novel that came with it (paper back). I'd like to just read it, and then unload it.

Done and shipped!

Damn... this didn't even last more than a few hours on eBay and someone did the Buy-It-Now. Sold it for $475 buy it now. Now I have to ship this beast... I'm going to miss it!

Don't hate me. I've had it for a long time... https://www.ebay.com/itm/273440905235

I couldn't help myself... I put it up for sale. Still going through stuff, I'll let you know when I find the IBM / Crystal one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/273440905235
