Hey, I was a regular in that other thread until many months ago. I didn't know anything but the drama and no real information coming from the company and umm... (I'm not sure what the rules are about mentioning him. LOL) things just felt off and I got bored. But I gave up after the end of the year release miss. I also haven't gotten any refund back. I remember making an offhand joke a long time ago about how this sounds like the Homer Car... Little did I know it was more of a vanity project that I thought.

I don't know how many times I've heard the stupid line "But how do you know you don't like girls if you never had sex with one?" I also don't need to shave my ass and sit in a bowl of gin to figure out it would be painful. So there's my answer.

When I was in the Army stationed in Germany in 1985, I saw a copy of "Drachenfahr" in an electronics/record store.

@Tommy Tallarico would know the answer to this.

"worriors" What are they worried about?

Why does Ian look like a screaming protester at an abortion clinic?

RIP Neil.?

Let's see... In not particular order... Burgertime Lock N Chase AD&D Cloudy Mtn Demon Attack Atlantis Pitfall! Skiing Vectron Mission X Sub Hunt I wish I could've had more (like Pac Man, White Water & Dreadnought Factor), but I was a poor high school kid back then. See my "violent death" post on what happened to my Intellivision back in the 80s.?

I was 17. I prolly gave you a swirly* in the Boy's Room. ? *not really. I never did that.?

It's a mind set meme, more than a generational thing. It's a critique of those who refuse to learn how a computer works, remember passwords, how to use an Alexa, can't help but download viruses, yell when a nephew tries to show them how a computer works, and passes on political outrage BS spam full of lies on Facebook... then decide to lecture younger generations on how they don't know how life works, having avocado on toast, or how easy it is to get a job when they don't realize that ATS resume gateway computers reject 90% of resumes submitted online, and that their college education costed 85% less than it does today.

I think the religious references & iconography assigned to any guidelines or rules of '10' is pandering to those who need to nod in approval.

This was the late 80s and they were 9-13 years old and hated my sister. Bullies actually. Rowdy and always fighting. I haven't talked to them in 15 years. Mom divorced their fath... anyhow, I'm blabbing too much. If I could use profanities, they were just little sh*ts! Maybe they did it so they can get a Nintendo NES. I dunno. And Vectron was one of those games. ? She's getting an Amico. Shh, don't tell her.?

I was actually talking about Vectron. Their only game in the "Arcade Network" they made. It's a weird game. Its strange play mechanic puts people off, and it bears very little resemblance to Tempest which is rumored to inspire it. But it is unique and hats off to the designer who came up with something so off the wall.

You never gave it a chance. ? It is an acquired play mech, but with time, it's much more playable than Auto Racing, which is unnecessarily complicated and unrewarding.

That is my favorite 80s controller by far! Only to be overtaken by this one in 1990. Both of them. Every game. Yes, even Zelda & Metroid.
