Yep, lots of tolls here in NE USA too. PITA and can be pricey.

You can get a dongle for that I assume? So you usually connect the iphone to a stereo? I usually just use Google Home Mini smart speakers around the house. They are wi-fi connected and are robust. I hate using Bluetooth speakers.  I listen by telling google to play Pandora -- Blue Oyster Cult or whatever, or I will open up Pandora app on my phone and select a station. But a physical stereo is nice too -- larger the speakers the better.

@jd_1138

I awakened as I remembered I actually had to remember I have a physical

stereo in my livingroom … ?

@bluejay

Do you have youtube-link?

No idea - wasn't playing then

@Stephen

No arcades in the 90ies?

How did you get through the decade then …? ?

Started driving in 91, had a big block 400 to race all the ricers that were popular at the time

what happens if he spills coffee on the panel?

@masschamber

I’d guess his life-support system would go bonkers.

Another thing I’ve wondered about is if one of the read buttons on his chest-panel actually is an off-switch…

I mean, what if he and Palpatine gets into a quarrel?

@Frozone212

Ok, but since AI is still not understood as to outcome of how the programs thinks, one may develop an AI with limits of scope (without knowing anything about programming, I think this is what you say - lock its direction of tasks).

Another thing is simply that nothing dependent on energy/electricity, deprived of its energy source will  continue working.

How do we get rid of the SpaceLaser's though?

@CPUWIZ

How many are there of those?

Only thing I’ve seen are Laser-cannons on board battleships designed to take out missiles.

Not quite sure we should immediatly get rid of them.

@ClassicGMR

I’m not so familiar with the other Mario Golf games out there, but I had my fun with this one.

So perhaps I have too little background of comparison, but I really thought it was fun.

Guess much is personal taste.

Sorry it didn’t do for you: put ‘em out on ebay.

It would have been hard to improve on the 3ds's asymmetric online multiplayer tournament mode (think trackmania)--so they decided not to include anything remotely fun like that. The single player campaign also looks weaker than average for the franchise, and super rush mode doesn't even look like golf. maybe there will be dlc to fix it, but that's not selling me a game I should have been a slam dunk for day-one. As is, my price for it is $9.99 and if that sale never comes, I won't be heartbroken since it appears to be the series' lowpoint.

Still better than most of the dreck that comprises the sports genres.

@Giles N Beaverton, OR

Very busy this Summer...but doing well.  You?

@GoldLeader

Some tough days now and then, but enjoy the good weather in my part of Norway.

But I spend lots of time on phone and the net with friends. Spends much time with my family of origins… and listen hours and hours on music … (what should I do without music?)…

Yeah, and I’ve gotten my first vaccination.

Second will be Sept.17th.

We’re getting there…

Flush it down the toilet.  Test passed.

I saw Dimmu Borgir play in '99.  And again a couple of years later...

Damn!  Hard to believe that was 22 years ago...

Time flies.

This is from 2018.

Yeah, it concerns ‘Tunnel Runner’ one of the Top Titles for the 2600...

More garage-trial&error

Metal stuff (kopi) 2.m4a

It’s all very improvised & ad-hoc...

But garage-band enables people to get somewhere, and thats good in my opinion...

As I try to get sleepy:

More Metal Ideas.m4a

@GoldLeader

I’ll recommend Scrapyard Dog, Blue Ligthning and Dracula (If you’re into point and click adventures).

@GoldLeader

- - - did I forget ‘Gates of Zendocon’; its great!!

Anyway, heres a decent remastering of Nosferatu:

A lot of Master System games either had flicker & slowdown, or ran choppily due to the large sprites being background objects.

I don't really think it's fair to compare the 7800 to either even if you're looking at the superior aspects of the system. The NES and SMS were perfect for platforms and beat-em-ups as they had hardware scrolling registers. The main point is different generations of hardware and each system had it's pros and cons. Personally i love them all for different reasons.

@TwentySixHundred

I sort of agree.

I’m actually a sufficient fan of the SMS to have obtained a modded version with region-switch and FM-sound-chip.

I do however think of the 7800 as same gen. as the NES and SMS, but as you said they have individual strenghts and weaknesses.

Consumption is life.

@Keatah

yeah, sort of, but not easy to ‘consume’ a non-operative piece of software...

Just take one for the team..

Favorite?  I bought one when it came out and I have yet to play one game on it, that makes me want to keep playing for more than 5 minutes.

I just love it... the colours, the style, the silly music, the silly costumes giving new abilities ... everything about it really...

... and with save-states its even better as I don’t have as much time to play now as when I was like 13-16...

(when I perhaps should have worked a little harder on school...ahem)...

That's it, I am leaving!

@GoldLeader

Sorry to hear about the non-functional 32X.

I really hope mine will work.

I ordered it from UK.

It was a seller-modded/refurbished console, able to switch between PAL and NTSC.

Got Star Wars, Afterburner, Virtua Fighter, some Mech-game, and a few other titles.

I saw that Darxide was sold from the United Arab Emirates for 7300$ (!!!) on eBay...

Which, in my humble opinion is a tad much for a rather obscure game, even if good...

@CPUWIZ
You can only share how your day’s been before you run...

I’m not into enforcing opinions on the Sega 32X...

(... even though I’m curious...)
