I know right! I want more. Either a true sequel or copycats would be fine with me.

WiiU LoZ Breath of the Wild 125 I find this game is hard to start playing. Once I get into it, it is fun, but I rarely want to start it up again for some reason.

A2600 Circus Atari 88 Drive 70 Encounter at L-5 10 Guardian 21 Kaboom! 319 (high score this week 21,948) Kaboom!9 7 Kaboom! Deluxe 15 Sadoom! 10 Sadoom!+ 80 Secret Agent 44 Super Breakout 85 Tac-Scan 43 (high score 252,100) A7800 Crazy Brix 22 Paddles! I played a bunch of paddle games this week. Drive is a homebrew that features the twitchy-racey kind of action I really like. That one is going in my regular paddle game rotation, and I may even order a cart of it from the AA store. Kaboom!9, Sadoom! and Sadoom!+ are hacks that essentially give you harder versions of Kaboom to play. The best one of the group is Sadoom!+ which starts you on level 7 and lets you continue up past level 8 to 9, 10, 11, etc (if you can get there). Secret Agent is an unreleased game from Data Age that is sort of a combo of Kaboom gameplay and Music Machine. I wouldn't call it a great game, but I was pleasantly surprised. They also made a neat little attempt at composing a rip-off of the James Bond theme which was enjoyable.

The latest baffling move is the decision to remove the wishlist feature from the store when browsing on the web or on mobile. What a head scratcher! I didn't think things could get worse, but now my primary method of browsing the PS Store is eliminating features that are on every other online store. So weird.

That's it! I was successfully speeding up and slowing the emulation though, so I guess I ended up pushing both. Anyway, seems like something should change with this setting. I knew what to do and thankfully noticed that there were a ton of screenshots on the desktop before explorer.exe got all borked. Someone else who isn't quite as experienced might actually think Stella crashed Windows.

I was pushing Alt+S and Alt+Shift+S because in the settings I saw that they were used to slow down and speed up the emulation. I guess Alt+S is dual mapped by default? Oh and as you can see, it was capturing more than one snapshot every second.

I was just messing around with the release for the first time, and as I played it generated hundreds of screenshots onto my desktop. I was changing the graphics and emulation settings heavily testing different configurations for Kaboom, so I got more Kaboom screenshots than I can count. This is actually preventing my desktop from loading and explorer.exe from responding at all. I had to browse the folder structure in edge to even figure out what happened. I used the command line to del Kaboom*.* and wipe them all out. Then logged out and back in and things are back to normal, but that was really weird. Is it possible I have some sort of auto-screenshot setting turned on that captures every frame or something? I just installed the software today.

Yeah, if you like having a 1.x second lag (or more) on your video games. If you don't then there are actually very few options. AND - As others have stated, just because there is a coax input for RF doesn't mean it is analog RF. Analog RF is now even rarer to find on a new TV than Composite. Its no wonder since there are no more analog TV broadcasts at all (in the USA). At least I think we stopped that, right guys?

There's a company called "Blonder Tongue" that makes demodulators. I have one of theirs and a different one too. They work ok and take up less space than a VCR, but a VCR is probably easier to find "in the wild" https://www.ebay.com/itm/Blonder-Tongue-MIDM-806B-Agile-Mini-Demodulator/124306383953?epid=1446567379&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item1cf13ce451:g:kPUAAOSwPWtcRi8~&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACYBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkp2NA0WuhQytmt4dbStg00DKhol%2FisLv61qBkfWc7v2nywALcDzGvTR8A6VXttB%2Bl9A64v8IWthpCQcvK%2BL%2FKciK9K%2FUZytyvzIv%2BASxB%2B8cQpx6Dt%2BwrfdYeTU4k8WZ1bg1AC9pD0IbKZfwF2WoYxCLWjKLT%2BBBoLP15uC80DVYerfk7x%2BXXH6vg7pRHfLnL%2BCbEBfC76zlX8yNvIp8gzEpPMtWLYrw8w9IGEZAsbpPfF7Q4RjffNNnmpMf2yBS8HTA%2FKrmbPeMWzP%2BJOeAHF8a25UJkqP94gclsDKLaGjgsg0NDC1%2Bx%2BVBJGAEWAkhewqh0C%2FUzRmKuy7nFAD1s0UMH8T9l44S3n%2FK3v71ennDQwaICUf2kWS0mWMQnRXiZWWOjvBOUWUhUVSGkASHf6C7dQavy8wLlE5Rh8V5VKskfEk5qNOnPJ4Z63Th2opAx2SQxZeO%2FzK97Z4Csc9NkMcN7wexua2%2FUbxyIWQltb9QdE%2Fvwrh%2FU77GL8zuR1k1eOsslNKXmd1RnCh8k5YHxDeOn6kM1EvuEfktttEZQdsmX846cPa5o%2BDcqoSibhXRiM616ZHKEhjJk7kfyjns2B85T8nIoiTLyhBMCfaAXmhbh12JTfDwL1tVjkJnErSHQ3Al3VPMCfXgM3hai21V0A7NIaVO%2FP%2FkPFME9kculagvEOxjr07jLFWz6ndOtqB5UzqzZJOOHty9lMs0kWVKcT5BzsRNu%2F9gz8agwAWglhnz%2FL3XFhKytarq%2Foh6bCzf1|cksum%3A12430638395390de4855c59e45b68c5eccc3c04d5710|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524

Man you guys have really started stinking up this thread with your own farts

100% - here is a story that proves your point: https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1025766/1-500-Slot-Machines-Walk Those guys tried very hard to release a high quality mobile title and no one bit. So, on a whim they created a system that would auto-generate terrible slot machines every day. The story was surprising to me, but fits with your point perfectly. Same story different format: https://www.gameinformer.com/2019/10/10/how-two-developers-made-a-living-with-awful-games

I like this picture much better

Nice stock photo. You are great at "Internet!" Also, you know your Sh!+ based on all your other designs, but rein it in a bit. Maybe you are right about a passive controller, but you need to account for the 3 buttons AND directions. Build one yourself for real and then show us what can be done. Mine was certainly no innovation. It required power for the gate to handle the signals for directions. I chose a design that already incorporated batteries to compensate.

I built one once. It was a PITA. I still play with it. My advice is to abandon the 16 directions. If you want 16 then play with the original controller. This thing is awesome for Dreadnaught Factor and some others. I've thought about making more, but I don't know if the effort to cost ratio really makes sense. I believe @grips03 has made more than a few and perhaps could be persuaded to make more. Send him a message to find out. I probably couldn't be bothered to make one for less than a ridiculous amount of like $200. You'd probably hate it at that price too.

Seems wrong, but ok

Now THAT is the type of story to show up for. Brilliant! You just made my day, week, year!

6 months? The thread is from 2016 Buying patterns for modern systems have changed in the last 4 years as GamePass is paid for and dominates my modern gaming. My Steam purchases have tailed off because so much is readily available on GamePass. Vintage purchases are about the same as 2016. However COVID has spiked prices and interest for vintage stuff. I buy homebrews for old systems and make the occasional hardware purchase. It probably evens out, but I'm trending modern at the moment. Steam gets confusing because there is more and more vintage stuff there. I recently purchased the Genesis collection for example.

I'll add that if you think about gaming world-wide and not just in the USA or "global north" than an even larger percentage of gamers are playing on mobile because it is likely the only platform they have . . . or can afford . . . or have ever experienced. The $$$ signs in the eyes are huge when you think about the market.

Does that work? I've been unplugging the HDMI cord every time.

I could swear that I watched a video of your interview. I was talking to someone from Brazil recently and thought about it. Went to find it and came up empty. Is a video of this interview "out there" somewhere?

A2600 Circus Atari 49 Encounter at L-5 32 Kaboom 132 personal best 29,562 Tac-Scan 76 I was inspired by @Nintendo64 and got out Kaboom and some other paddle games. I got a new personal best on Kaboom, but I was going for 30k, so I fell a little short. Tac-Scan and L-5 are recent acquisitions, and although I had played them before, they are nice carts to have. Tac-Scan especially is such a nice and unique game for the era, and the 2600 version is a great port. I like to play Circus Atari on game 4. The rounds are long and you can kinda chill out and just play.

Looks like you were working on some paddle jitters there.

The same guy also did Forbidden Forest: and Slinky

I finished the story in Resident Evil 7 for PSVR. I also played through the free DLC. I had a lot of fun with this game. It was a great update to the RE formula and a very enjoyable game to play in VR. The free DLC was pretty awesome too. It was the perfect little topper to play after the end of the main story. Edit - Corrected to RE7

You guys should consider a Windows port of this for Steam. I know you'd have to drop the licensed characters, but the sheer rarity of being able to play this game at home would definitely help sell it even if it didn't have the Pac-Man licensed attached.
