And yet, there's Pokemon Puzzle League. Never say never. 998199[/snapback] Ah yes, that's the entire reason I purchased the dr. mario/puzzle league gameboy cart! I superior game, to say the least. dr. mario, is rubbish!

Ace of Aces Dark Chambers David's Midnight Magic Desert Falcon Fight Night Food Fight Gato Hardball Lode Runner One on One I think that's it. 995762[/snapback] One on One, Hardball, Lode Runner and Dacid's midnight magic? That cant be right! All those games are avail on disk and work on a standard 800. 995832[/snapback] And don't forget Bruce Lee.

I'm 34 hours in and about to go to XXX island and fight XXX with the LVL 50+ SHADOW LUGIA!! It's a LOT more fun than any other Pokemon game I'd played before. There are two camps of Pokemon fans: 1. Those that like a good, well done RPG 2. Those that enjoy watching small furry amimals fight to the death. I'm a little of both!! Enjoy the game, see if you can find Ash in it!!!

Good point! On my PSONE, I have a soldered in VCD playback board that does MP3's too. the picture quality on a TV is ok, but on that little (official) 5" screen it looks great. I just checked with www.toysnjoys.com and www.lik-sang.com (my 2 fav. importers) and neither one has it! Good luck finding one if you do want to go that route.

Of course if you want to get technical for analog outputs, silver is better for audio anyway!!!!!

As far as being normal CONSUMER grade cables, they are 'espensive! But this is BAD!: http://www.audiocubes2.com/category/Cables...udio_Cable.html It's $800 for a 3M length of AUDIO cables!!

I'm mildly curious what Monster has to do with RCA jacks... Interestingly, it seems a lot of the sound issues on the NEX(and other NOACs) is due to a simple reversed pair of bits controlling the square wave channels... might could fix it with a small external logic "patch" that swapped the 2 bits on the way in. 994903[/snapback] Good question! Monster Cable makes cables. Some of the best consumer grade cables on the planet!!! They are over shielded, no RF interferience, and the video 2 and 3 series have VERY secure tight connections that will NOT accidently come unplugged. Every system that can use them, has them! My modded Neo-Geo AES has video 3 going from the S-VHS connection into the switchbox, etc. The PS2 has the Monster Game component cable going directly into the TV. The GCN has the Monster Game S-VHS cable going into the swithbox. All of the way down to the NEX which has video 2 cables going into a different switchbox which in turn goes into the TV. Trust me, once you go monster, you NEVER go back!!! Even my PSONE with LCD screen's input has a Monster video cable hooked upto it when I need to use the monitor! Monster cable is GOOD!!! 995172[/snapback] Thank you for copy/pasting an ad.And you still haven't answered my actual question. Your previous post implied Monster cables were ALL it could use, as opposed to RCA cables. BTW, Monster is well known as over-hyped, over-priced, and covered with bald-faced lies to confuse the gullible. 995383[/snapback] copy/pasted an ad!?!? YES my evil plan is almost complete!! {cue evil laugh!} It was not an implication, it was a requirement for ME. I have high standards, lots of expensive toys (my collection is insured at $32,000) I used to live in a condo almost directly under a big power tower thingy. When I lived there, I got RF interferience out the yin yang. While going to college I was working part time for a (then) giant retail store. Our MC rep gave me a set of V2 cables (I'm cute, BTW!) and my VLD player had no sparklies after that! From that point on, I replaced all of my cabling with the good stuff, and a Monster Power line conditioner for my plasma TV. Should I of thrown out $300 of cables and bout the cheap ones when I moved? I don't think so. Are they over hyped? Of course, what isn't... Do they lie? See above! Are they necessary for everybody? No, but they were for me. Are they worth it? Depends on your needs/equipment/budget. Is life too short? No, so everyone should smoke/drink/and play as many video games as possible to shorten it!

Not true. DVD's were conceived sometime around 1994. The first DVD players were released around the same time as the N64. One of my dad's friends got one. 995196[/snapback] The MLB on my Sony prototype board is © 1993 and I sweet talked or Sony rep out of it in 1994 when they announced the Toshiba standard would be used. ALSO that's why Sony was kind of slow to enter the market as were columbia/tristar, etc...

Intresting points. Hmmmmmmmmmm................. I like the turbine connectors that STAY CONNECTED no matter what. I love the warrenty service on them AND the excessive shielding prevente ESD which means my cats aren't chewing on cables anymore. Besides, I can afford them.

Of course let us not forget that the original Playstation *WAS* supposed to play the DVD format disks. In the begining there were two warring camps: 1. Sony 6" disk larger capacity 2. Toshiba 5" disk smaller capacity They went with the Toshiba standard and the HUGE opening on the original Playstation, as well as quite few prototype Sony DVD players (I have one!) are all that is left of the original 6" DVD video format!

That's S-O-R-R-Y Hope that helps!!!

I bit my tungue so hard it's bleeding!!!! mmmmmmmmmm taste of blood................. I just bought a nex and it works fine for the 30-40 NES/FC/FDS games that I own. My original NES was in okay shape considering I'm the original owner and I don't abuse my stuff. I also clean the connector, etc... Once I find someone to do a SVHS mod to the NEX, the NES will still hold it's place of glory next to my TV. BTW the NEX uses the same Monster video 3 cables like everybody else. I like the NEX, it's a modern retake on the NES. It works well enough, with a few flake-outs. It's no worse than running Nintendo's Gameboy Player!! It seems to be a well engeneered console. I am *NOT* the target audience for this unit, but I love it! (37YO F, single, gaming addict, Mac user,jogger, etc...) When I come to work every morning, 2 of the 7 sites I hit every day are both AA and IGN. I swore off www.spong.com about a year ago because they suck, lie and then suck some more) IGN has their issues, I hated the NEX review too, but I like the way they cover the new stuff. And until the NEX, they handled most other retro-friendly things well. Read the ATARI anniversary, NAMCO museum, INTELLIVISION lives, ACTIVISION anthology, TAITO legends, and KONAMI collection reviews to see. Their forums aren't as good as AA's (of course ) but I usually just hit PS2, GBA, DS, REV, GCN, and gear anyway. Sorry guys, I just had to vent!!!

so true!!!! You have to turn it on. But for the 7800, it turns YOU on!!!

What I've seen reminded me of some of the Atari Jaguar's original 2D games: nice for what they are, but not as polished as the "brand leaders" out there. Anyone else give this game a spin? Anyone find it to be worth twenty bucks? If I play this ROM a little more, I'll probably end up buying the game just out of guilt, and to support the concept.... 993230[/snapback] yes I did, returned it as it sucks, picked up Pac-Man Pinball which doesn't suck as bad!!!!

Incredible!!! I'm getting a DS next week, and this thread (thank you!) answers a question I had. Can they both peacefully co-exist, yes they can, how do you switch between them??? BTW, I'd have Mario Kart in the DS slot and Dr. Mario(which I hate!)/Puzzle Leauge(which I love) in the GBA slot. or Activision Anthology!!

Impressive swag!!!! must...have...Onimushu sake set!!!! ALSO I collect old psx enos lives promo stuff, remember "r NOS" Have any of those items, I have 3 different tshirts, a poster and a keychain?

it used to be visable??? It seems so.................unfinished! Everything else at AA is polished and as complete as possible. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm AND you can't post here!!! Only PPL that joined on August 9th. (my B-day!) can talk on this topic!

It's about bloody time!! All other sites that I've gone to looking for 8B info, pale in comparison to AA's format & layout. So........................ Let's get those screenshots, reviews, and cart scans sent in! Whooo-whoo!

That's what the shift key is for. The keyboard is scan-code based, not ASCII. 990400[/snapback] If I'm not mistaken, it's how all 8B ataris are (except maybe the GS)

That's what we've been trying to suggest... rather than add ram to the cartridges themselves, make them small and try to tap into the power of the Xboard (128K memory upgrade). 989880[/snapback] OR.............. the 16k prototype board shown on atarimuseum! OR............... find some way to integrate extra RAM in the actual cart Seems a better idea than performing surgery anyday!!

After a quck scan of the 7800 FAQ here at AA, it shows that our beloved 7800's only have 4K! Will the cart with OSS BASIC and videowriter have any additional RAM??

I hope the GCN vesion is better than NP rated the DS. That one's on my Xmas list... Did you buy the newstand copy or do you get ti delivered? Jsut wondering if those stickers (cool eh?) are in the newsstand version or not. 987560[/snapback] I got mine in the mail, and yes the stickers kick ass. 987784[/snapback] Great issue, the stickers were great, the poster *might* actually get framed!!

------ AND BE takes paypal, this guy on ebay doesn't. Which is prob. why the auction didn't do very well. That and the commons....

That's it for me as well! Who will be the first to write the first adventure game, the first database, the first graphic demo, etc. Allan 988237[/snapback] I just hope it's a REAL language like on the C-64, 8B and not a educational toy like the 2600 BASIC! ALSO- is BASIC written in-house, or out sourced?
