Hm, doesn't China run PAL too? I would think the pirates were just as much for the "internal" market as for export.

That'll definitely stop customer complaints

Found it.

I thought there was an article a year or so ago about that - IIRC the gist was that people still didn't know exactly how it worked.  I could be mistaken, I'll look around.

And yet a groundhog can always predict the coming winter with such accuracy...go figure!

If I was a meteorologist, I would just say "the temperature is between -200 and 200 degrees" so no one would accuse me of being inaccurate

ah yes; the dreaded semicolon.

@DragonGrafx-16 I am so going to post that on our work chat.

Already have the "real deal", and tho there are thousands, there are still only "so many" different carts out there.

So, like the Everest thing-"Because they are there".

Collectors collect, it's really, REALLY a ridiculous thing, and I'd love to bag on people for doing so, but...

The bug bit me several years ago, lol, I'm now one of those crazy people, "happy accident".

Gotta collect 'em all!  

His answer made me spit out my drink.

I was wondering why the O/P posted such an odd question, and then I saw this in his profile: InterestsMaple Leafs fan.

Yeah I like the Maple Leafs, even though they're the dumpster fire of the NHL. 

Yeah, the sentence was a little garbled. My bad.

All this wasted bandwidth because no one can understand the intent of the question? Ridiculous.

It's not about understanding, it is about encouraging people to think, before they type.  The internet is full of garbage sentences and people always say "Well, you know what I mean.".  That is the wrong approach and you will turn into a full on mouth breather over time.

My bad. I couldn't see 'em on my end so I thought no one else could see them. 

Also, ignore the 36 scores. They're not mine, I don't know how they got there.  

Since the upgrade,  I'd say there's been lots of times when people's Status Updates appear to make no sense unless you click on it to see the pic

Wait,  Gabe from Welcome Back Kotter?

I mean the only good thing about this year so far has been the living tombstone uploading music to the youtube channel so yeah maybe

I gotta say no also. Enjoying each day as it comes. No fast forward please, only rewind.

Something very interesting is supposed to happen around the middle of this month (September 2020) and near the end of October and near the end of December, so I think I'll stick around to see what those things are.

Unless you're in Europe I'd go NTSC...

Yeah I'd go for NTSC As Gold said.

I agree with the others, depending where you live makes a big difference (well did for me). Im from Australia and collecting for PAL just sucked from my experience. I still had alot of PAL carts although many titles were just hard to find when they're relatively easily found in North America. Sold my collection off 6 years ago and haven't felt much regret especially as Stella suits my needs anyway. Having said that id like to get a RGB modded 7800 or 2600JR from the States, Euro controllers and a Harmony cart so i can play all the games and homebrew in NTSC format on a real console. Issue i have is shipping costs...

Any polygon 3D fighter.

I thought someone tried to make a Zookeeper port. And Robotron, although someone called that "the flickeriest thing I had ever seen".

My Favorite Answer to this Question is still STAR CASTLE,  because that was the one we kept coming back to,  back in the day.   So NOW,  I keep my copy of STAR CASTLE ARCADE handy to show what is possible with some ambition, good coding,  and modern technology!

Bungies Myth II: Soulblighter online/multiplayer mode. 

Age of Empires II

Mind

Cokepsi

7-up.

I'd have a tab if i had one but if i had to choose between the two, pepsi. pepsi is just better.

@Random Terrain That's just extra flavor in my eyes.

Green Olive. I once ordered a pie with triple green olives from pizza hut.

Mushrooms!

I thought i'd enjoy a nice... Venetian blinds demo.

Yes!  I've been working my way through Lode Runner for the Atari 800 again, and I finished Level 150 this morning.

I did...Zaku and Odynexus (wip) on my McWill LCD modded Lynx II.

Be glad we're not limited to 9999 like Asteroids on the 2600   Or 255 like the mazes in PacMan,

That's why even though I score a million,...My score shows 1.

Not sure why it sometimes shows 20, and my game only lasted 17 seconds, though

Haha! 

A lot of games will even stop at that score count-I started calling any game that "stopped" at a certain score point "Nine Lining it"(even if it wasn't actually nines...). I think it stuck, at least with a few friends!

I used a stack of quarters as a counter, to keep up with my rollovers on Burgertime(MAME), still have all seven!

(Actually, eight...I was overly optimistic, I suppose...)

On that game in particular-someone with a score of 1,000,001 points is going to tabulate on the games scoreboard as one point, so someone with a ten thousand point game would still have the high score...

"Good" players would just play to the late 900k's, and stop playing, to get the top scoreboard spot on a machine.
