  1. On BittBoy: Double Dragon II Contra 24 in 1 Star Gate
  2. Metal Slug X .. just an awesome game. I goto St. Marks Barcade with roll of quarters to play Metal Slug X. If I don't go with friends I wait until another Metal Slug fan shows up as really need two people to make progress when playing the arcade otherwise it can get expensive. Also the Jersey City Barcade much less crowded and more more spacious has Metal Slug 2!
  3. Oh there is also Defender II which definitely is a different game as the ship are slightly different and gameplay with Defender II is harder than Star Gate. Anyway it's a very nice unit. If you wait awhile and check back I bet bittboy will have a sale. I recall them also having a 2 for $55 sale awhile back. I certainly would not leave it in the car during summer. I will basically use mine on my train commute (about an hour each way). I'll also have to look for extra long USB cable for my car so my son can play in the car. Only bad thing the Bittboy and AtGames Atari Flashback Portable use different USB ports for charging (mini USB and other micro USB)
  4. Yea I have been watching the youtube reviews. Some of them are hilarious. Most only show a few games though. It would be nice to an exhaustive list and a few comments for each game. BTW I found a few more I really liked ..the PacMan is really good and Star Gate is really nice Defender clone also LoadRunner 2 same as first one but different levels.
  5. Today I got my Blue Bittboy for $25.99 at www.bittboy.com. The sale seems over now I see back to $35.99 price. Anyway has anyone documented all the games with a brief description if game is homebrew, mod of original NES game, Japanese version of ... etc. Also if they actually work as say the Harry Potter montronsity is clearly has mangled graphics making it unplayable. Overall I'm very happy but only played a few of them so far ...Super Mario, Contra 24 in 1, Donkey Kong and Lode Runner are really nice. I'm not really that familiar with many of NES games though I certainly know most of the most popular ones in the US.
  6. So do all the hardware cores work smooth with MIST or are most still pretty glitchy ? I'm mostly in the Amiga cores but I'm sure I would dabble a bit with those cores.
  7. After some more digging I think I'm just going to use the Amiga emulator with my Raspberry Pie 3. The consensus on Armiga is not so good UAE emulation on outdated Arm A20 dual core .. Cubieboard 2 board.
  8. I just have a few questions as I'm looking to get an Armiga instead of blowing a few grand on an older Amiga with Vampire board. 1) Is anyone in the US using an Armiga? 2) Is anyone using a simple EU to US Travel power plug converter as the FAQ states just need Travel Charger EU to US Plug Adapter. I just would like to confirm. 3) Will the 720p 50Hz HDMI work with most US TVs and or monitors as I believe most US TV and monitor video is 60Hz ? 4) Any other compatibility issues I should know about ? 5) Any comments on the emulation quality as reviews I have seen mixed reviews.
  9. Went to Barcade at St Marks NYC -- https://barcadestmarks.com/games/ Metal Slug X Chiller -- wow this is really bad Ghostbusters Pinball
  10. That is one great homebrew. It's so close to the original it's amazing. I only very small nitpick. I miss having the explosions on the ground so you can kick you opponent into!
  11. Oh yea I've been working on Infiltrator... man this is a hard game. I even broke down and watched the full play hoping I could pick up on some tips.
  12. Wow that some of the most vile horseshit I have ever tried to watch. About halfway through I had to stop and go to the toilet as I had the urge to puke!
  13. Well they're already basically public domain for personal use. Only technically they're copyrighted.
  14. Haha .. been away a few days so I'm way behind all the Atariage shitpostings!
  15. BiffsGamingVideos, on 06 Apr 2018 - 11:48 AM, said: Huh? I'm pretty sure Cloanto bought the rights to Amiga. They even had a lawsuit with Hyperion end of last year over the use of Amiga. Also I'm pretty sure The Connecticut Leather Company has always owned the Coleco trademark.
  16. Huh that makes no sense. If you are any major metro area you have choices. Oh course the major players control home internet access. They are no small companies offering fiber or cable service because it is a very huge inital cost to deploy fiber or cable to many homes. Duh! The people without options are those in extremely rural areas with only phone or satellite options.. those are people who don't options.
  17. Well I ordered t it a few days ago. The free shipping from China is 15-24 days!
  18. You need to have more money than you started. A few blocks destroyed by the Marshmallow man makes it impossible to have more money than one started with.
  19. Simulation as you are simulating being a Ghostbuster... though Action is a much better description.
  20. Oh that's far too much money for Atari SA to spend. They would look to license an Atari based taco truck and take 20% of the revenue to put the Atari fuji logo on the truck and on the taco wrappers.
  21. Makes sense. Thanks. Very glad to have you as an active contributor here.
  22. Speak for yourself. I like integrated graphics as they are cheaper on the consumer and generally better tested with the implemented CPU and chipsets.
  23. I used the term stupid because he used the term to describe criticism of the Atari SA stock and asked why it is relevant to his post. We already know the poster is here only to promote Atati SA propaganda and shows no actual interest in retro gaming, so in my mind harsh comments from a troll will be dealt with harsher comments. I don't consider a polite response is appropriate.
