  2. trying to decide which pre nes console I think is best the 2600 or the intellivision, 2600 has a fuller library and better easier to deal with controllers, the intellivision has better exclusives and more feature rich controls

      I had the Inty first growing up so it has a special place (and I also have no problem with the controllers), but I play the 2600 far more. More great arcade-style games, larger library, etc.

      They're both great but if I had to pick one it'd be the 2600.

      Don't forget that there's M-Network games that are 2600 ports of INTV titles. The game names are different but they do play the same way...

      Hey I make the effort to always talk when I buy any small amount of classic game stuff, and yes sometimes it is kind of like that.

  5. so in one room was the latest and greatest video game hardware and software, in the other a 40 year old voice synthesizer with a trash keyboard and primitive text to voice software. Yet all the kids gathered around the ancient machine to have it say things like butt and fart in a robot voice for hours

      I thought the guy that played Bison was terrific-- absolutely cheesy and hammy, which was perfect for the show.  Otherwise.. yuck!  Great "worst clips" montages on YouTube.

      Felix movie does exist, I have it on original vhs. I was always of fan of the early B&W series when drugs were obviously legal and being used by the animators. The movie aint half bad in that respect. Twisted Tales from mid 90s is excellent and needs a DVD release.

    3. masschamber

      The movie starts with a cgi felix the cat head, I wonder what percent of the budget that used up

      I always love these ads because it's always like it's written by someone with the base knowledge of some Atari 2600 cart practices but not really. Like it mentions it's a graphic label because, hey some 2600 carts we're text way back in the day! But also doesn't know enough that it's also a really common dirt common game.

      No, but I'm sure she would if she could. It is still years away (fortunately) but I wonder if her kindergarten teacher is going to love her for her intelligence and inquisitiveness, or be driven crazy by her never ending well of energy

      Don't remember the sale but I assume it must have been for barely more than shipping costs so probably wrapped the games in bubble wrap then put them in a thin cardboard box.
