I thanked you at the end of my latest episode for your help. Thanks again! I wouldn't have figured it out!

I thanked you guys in the closing credits of my latest episode. Thanks for your help!!

Sorry about that! I had to pull the last video because there were some issues that I overlooked that I caught when I saw in on Youtube. Anyway, here the real episode. Please feel free to share your stories about these games. Many of them I played in elementary school on the old Apple IIe computer.

https://youtu.be/XLpNaT6aWqk In my latest episode we discuss children's and educational games that were on computers. A good deal of the episode deals with games made by MECC, the company most known for Oregon Trail and Lemonade Stand. Did you play any of these games back in the day? Let me know, I'd love to hear your stories.

I am interested in purchasing a Famicom. If it has some games, that would be nice, too, but not important. I'd like for it to have both controllers. Please let me know.

You were right! It was Little Computer People! I think you'll be my go-to-guy if I need any C64 help!!

Thank you! I'll check it out.

I have tried several different versions of the bin file of Wizards of Wor for the 5200 and on all of them the controls don't work. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you resolve it?

My neighbor had a game on his C64 about 30 years ago, and I don't remember the title. It was with a little man that walked around a house. You could give him commands like "open the door", "go to bed" etc. If you gave him a command he didn't recognize he would talk to you in a robot sounding voice. For some reason I think the game was called "House" but I'm not sure. Does anyone remember the title?

Thanks for your help, everyone. Some of those I've played before and some I haven't. Wizball is a great game and totally addictive! In the future I'll check in past threads to make sure this wasn't covered somewhere else. God knows I don't want to hurt someone's feelings.

Hopefully someone can help me with this! Back in 1984/85 we had a couple educational games on our classroom computer. Of course back then all the schools had Apple II computers only. Both of them were math games. One you were in a haunted mansion and had to solve math problems to get from room to room and then get out. A lot of the problems were set up like this: 3 _ _ =10. Like you had to determine the order of operations as well. The other was a dinosaur game where you would answer math questions and the dinosaur would "fart" (I'm not kidding) on the questions you got right. Anyone know what the titles of these games were? My wife was a teacher she suggested they might have been educational only programs that weren't available to the general public, thus why I've had a hard time finding them. Although I did find the game "Oh Deer!" and I think it was educational only, too. But that was because I remembered the title!

I just got a Commodore 64 with just about all the games. Can anyone recommend which are the best games? Some of your favorites? Thanks!!

In the latest episode I discuss some handheld and plug 'n play games that I own. I review them and tell you whether I believe you should "buy 'em" or "bop 'em". If you have any suggestions for others not covered in this episode let me know. I am considering getting the Intellivision version, what do you guys think of that one?

Does anyone have the overlays for the Kid's Controller that they would like to sell? Or are there any artists out there that would be willing to make them for me? Let me know, please. Thank you!!

I agree with what everyone is saying. To be honest, I have to say that this is probably the rom I would like to see the most. It would be nice to be able to get a customized cart, like having my daughter's name on it (she's also a gamer both classic and current), but to just be able to play it would be great. In one of my videos I put a link to an online version that someone made. Here is the link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/49004598/fullscreen In regards to the other "missing" roms, hopefully whoever has them they will release them soon. I personally would like to play Mark of the Mole (huge Residents fan here!) and Golden Skull. It's been a lot of fun getting to play some of these unreleased games and then talk with you guys here and on my channel. I'm glad I got a chance to play Pink Panther, as it does live up to the hype and was way ahead of its time. It is a shame it can't be dumped as I'd like for everyone to get a chance to enjoy it. Still, I hope that someone will release the rom of Birthday Mania if they can't or aren't able to put it on a cart. I think many of you, like me, are just looking forward to playing it.

has anyone heard anything about this? We were talking pretty frequently and then nothing.

I didn't get a PM from you. I found a great set of controllers from someone. Thanks anyway.

In the latest episode I discuss more rare and valuable Atari 2600 games. Most of the games in this episode are actually really cool and fun. I know, that isn't usually the case with most collectible games, but most of these are. There are a few that if they weren't valuable I would gladly use as drink coasters, such as Q*berts Qubes. What a bad port of a really fun arcade game! My opinion of course. I will be doing a part 4 soon, as folks really seem to enjoy these episodes. I have to thank the living Atari 2600 price guide and encyclopedia Dave for once again helping me out! Enjoy!

Those look great. How much for a set?

Are there any artist types who could make me the overlays for Magicard? I'd be glad to pay you for your trouble. Thanks! Anthony

Wow. thanks for all the info. Of course you know, I will have to do a followup video...

In the latest episode of my channel, I discuss early video games that were programmed by women. Of course I have to mention Carol Shaw and Carla Meninsky but there were others that broke the sex barrier in the video game world.

In the latest episode I discuss the legendary arcade classic Paperboy. I compare and contrast the original arcade with its various ports. These are the early ports, as of course this game continues to be ported to this day and probably will as long as there are game systems. Which was your favorite port? Let me know as I'd like to hear your views on this game, and please don't forget to post memories as I'd like to hear about your own experiences playing this game. Thank you.

Colors aren't a concern at all. As long as they work. Thank you!

Okay I'm interested in two.
