Excellent. Thank you for the quick response.

Where can I buy these patches?

Awesome news Tommy. Sidenote: I was talking with a buddy at work who was lamenting (I was as well) the fact that Castlevania: Symphony of the Night was released for phones for like three dollars and not for the Nintendo Switch. He didn't understand it and then I reminded him of the numbers of people that play video games on their phones and not consoles. I then asked how much he thought they would charge for it on the Switch and he said about $15. I said do the math; that's why they released it for Android and Ios and left the Switch in the dust. I think that there is what cunts like Pat and Ian are afraid of. EDIT: And then the bitch bought it for his iPhone.

I love love love Sid Meier's Pirates.

Star Ship gets a pass because it's a launch title. I am so glad I see someone put Laser Blast on their list. It is without a doubt in my bottom three. It has the worst challenge level in just about any game I've played for the 2600. In one month of playing I had a high score of 1,890. A week later I figured out the trick (maybe from youtube), and I turned the game off around 30,000. Screw the patch. Dolphin is one that sits right near the bottom with Laser Blast for me though for similar reasons. Both games have nearly identical learning curves. I could barely get get more than 6,000 points in Dolphin after playing between November 2018 and July 2019. Then on the 20th I got 16,000 and then 60,000 points. I figured out the trick and increased my score ten-fold. Where this one was different though is that the game eventually got harder and kept me engaged, but I find no desire to go back to it. Although I see Chopper Command as a similar game with the difficulty ramping up, I go back to it all the time. Not really sure why. Maybe because I don't have to invest 15 minutes to get to the hard parts; I don't know. Barnstorming also sits at the bottom for me as well. Got my patch I will probably never play it again. Mega Mania is also close by the bottom because I've never figured out the trick. I can't pass 10,000. Oh, and Fecking Tennis. Feck that game left and right. Funny thing as I look at these games I listed, you'd think I didn't like Activision. You'd be wrong since the games I continue to play are: Beamrider, Ice Hockey, River Raid, Pitfall, Spider Fighter, Defender, Warlords, Berzerk, and Empire Strikes Back.

Space Raiders for the Atari 2600 Final Fantasy and Genghis Khan for the NES Might and Magic 2 for Apple 2e (Europe Ablaze almost would have been a system seller) SimCity, Civilization, Pool of Radiance, and Eye of the Beholder for PC Link to the Past for the SNES Master of Monsters and Buck Rogers: Countdown to Doomsday for the Genesis I skipped the consoles of the late 90's as I became strictly a PC gamer. Medal of Honor: Frontline and Wrath of Tenchu for PS2 Pokemon Diamond for NDS Final Fantasy 1 & 2 Dawn of Souls for GBA (Micro) Final Fantasy 1 for Sony PSP I had Fire Red that I played with the DS and later bought Leaf Green and two GBAs just so I could trade and try and fill my Pokedex/s. Oh, and recently I bought a piece of garbage Chinese Gameboy looking thing that plays a shiteton of NES games just so I could play Galaga wherever and whenever I want. It hasn't arrived yet so I have no idea if it is going to be any good. As I look at this list, a lot of the early games that hooked me were my first exposure to the capabilities of video gaming or the upgrades that the new system offered. By the time it got to the PS3 and Xbox360 though, I got off the new system bandwagon after having collected over 120 games for the PS2-some having never been opened. Interestingly enough, one of those games I bought for the PS2 was Final Fantasy Origins originally for the PS1 (I also bought a PS memory card just for that game), and I think that started my entry into retro-gaming. It was new and better than the original but offered very similar play to what hooked me years earlier. I later bought Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls for the DS and then the Micro to really play it on the go and later did the same for the PSP so I could hack it and install it on a card and not need the disk anymore. I think its funny that I specifically bought two systems for a game that I beat thirty years ago and to this date is the only game I've beaten in every form I could find. I want a patch or something.

Let's get Tommy high and take the Ferrari to a White Castle. Blarneo can sit in the back with Neil. 🤣

Just about done with this three year old prototype. Now where did I put it? EDIT: Sorry guys, too soon?

Sorry not in an E-10 Game.

Hrm, I foresee a Funco Pop of Intellivison's new mascot in the future...

I wanna play Oregon Trail or I'm taking my Amico controller home!

Yeah, my wife and I had tickets for Empire Strikes Back. She and my daughter saw Harry Potter before all this mess started. They loved it.

Wait, two videos and 9 subscribers. Why is this guy a thing? EDIT: Or where is this guy a thing?

E.T. wasn't a bad game. Laser Blast by Activision, now that was a bad game.

I'll have Jalapeno

Gun Nac...

Thank You.

I'm sorry I forgot, is there a limit on the VIP units? I won't have the cash until the first of the month and don't want to miss out.

I'll take you home again kathleen.... One. More. Time.

It already exists https://www.geoguessr.com/ Basically drops you in google maps street view and you have to guess where you are on the map in the lower left. After about fifteen minutes or so I figured I was in Australia or New Zealand. Then I hit on this sign. The big challenge is to NOT use the internet. I've been to villages in Russia on a highway between Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk. I've spent whole nights on one map before.

Sounds like you know how to build a machine. Can you please buyout Atari?

Brilliant trailer. So Much goodness for family play.

Tears. of. joy.

I'd really only be interested in purchasing something I could almost display like a Skylander, Amibo, or Gundam. Nothing big, but something other than a PS2->Switch case. I have hundreds of those damn things. Shoot, on my desk right now I have two Star Wars Heroes figures, one a storm trooper and the other an AT-AT Driver; A small dinosaur that would work perfectly as a Large monster on a D&D battlemat; three Heroclix figures, one of which will be my next D&D monk character; and a skull and a black jaguar that I got from a cruise to Mexico. Oh crap, I also have an Asoka and Anakin Infinity figure by my pen tray and a Joey Ramone POP figure in front of one of my computer speakers. I'd love to add a Running Man™ figure or maybe a B-17 Bomber to my desk. Don't ask what I have at work. Oh crap somebody should ask so I'll tell you all. I have a Dollar Store picture frame with printouts of all the Atari patches I've earned so far on a blue metallic wrapping paper background that makes it all look like a shadow box. I also have three gundam and four Transformer figures. People come into my shop and every once in a while ask about any of them. Yeah, I'd love to talk about Amico when someone asks about, "that figure, isn't that from Atari." And I respond with something like, "Nah, Atari hasn't made anything in years worth a damn, but if you have a family and want to play games together, check this out." Oh, I forgot, people also ask about the Running Man™ hat I wear at work. I just like figures I guess.
