Hi, all, I have here 4 sealed DS games (more if people are interested in these.) $20 each. They are: Chrono Trigger Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (somehow the box got managed to get a scratch on it even though it's sealed!) Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass PM if interested.

Please do.

Yeah, I know. Maybe it was just my subconscious telling me to keep it...

Since nobody wanted to take me up on my offer, I guess I'll keep the thing. I learned something, though. I thought I had a special Cybermorph controller. Turns out it was actually just an overlay! Oh well, anyway, I took the overlay off, and lo and behold, there was a keypad controller with digits 0-9 and a # and *, just like a telephone, which makes me want to make a game for the Jaguar where you have to call people with the keypad, like maybe a detective game or something. Too bad I don't know how to program for the Jaguar. Anyway, I posted a few games I would be interested in in the Wanted forum, and I thought I'd post it here, too. If anyone has any of these, give me a PM: Bubsy, Checkered Flag, Wolfenstein 3D. I also learned something else: It doesn't turn on without a game in. I thought I had put a game in, but I didn't push it in all the way. I guess there's a problem with mine about the left side, which is odd because I looked in the system and there doesn't seem to be anything blocking the game from being pushed in all the way. I guess I'll just have to use a little more force when putting a cartridge in.

Hi all, I'm getting back into the Jaguar again. Anyone have any of the following? PM me. Doom Pinball Fantasies Wolfenstein 3D

I have a TV/Game switch thingy, but I'm going to keep it with the Jaguar because if I sold you it, then I wouldn't be able to play mine.

Thanks.

OK, it's November 2 now and it says there are no birthdays today. Well, it's mine.

What I'm asking is, when you look at the screenshot above, there are a whole bunch of dots, right? What I want to know is how would I increment the score once a dot is eaten and not when a dot isn't eaten. I'm using Oric by the way.

Hi all, it's time I got rid of my Atari Jaguar since I don't play it. I have absolutely no idea how much this all costs, so bear with me here, that and also I haven't sold anything this big before. Here's what's up for sale: Atari Jaguar system with hookups and one controller Cybermorph Flashback Tempest 2000 (with box and instructions) Flip-Out (with box and instructions) I also don't know how much shipping will be, because like I said before, I haven't shipped anything this big before. I can fit it all in this small box with no padding needed because everything fits in so tight I can barely close the box. Or, this will cost more, I can get a bigger flat-rate box from the Post Office that is, if you want everything listed here. If you just want the Jaguar with two games, I can put some padding in there so it will be protected. Last time I tested it it works, and will test it again tonight, so if you're interested in any of this, give me a PM.

Well, I just got a game on eBay. I don't exactly know what I got. I think it's an Atari 2600 game cuz the picture and the description say it's a 2600 game, but the auction title and the store's description say NES. But I figured for less than $6, even if it was an NES game that it would be a good deal. So, anyway, that's why I bought it from an obviously confused game store. So, what do you all think? I think if I searched "Ikari Warriors 2600" and it came up that it would be a 2600 game. So it will be interesting to see what I got. What do you all think? Digital Press says the NES version is worth $6 loose. The auction # is: 110758184902 so you can all look at it. So is Ikari Warriors NES worth $6 loose?

Since TV Guide has a double issue last week, people will have to wait another week for the answers, as well as another crossword. I am going to get a subscription to TV Guide, still. At least I want to. It's better than the stupid thing that comes in the paper each week, as well as the crossword that comes in it. I also made a little crossword that I tried to have clues related to TV. Well, here it is. And I want to make one every Monday night and post it here, but you know me, I'll probably forget to do this. What a swell time to have a double issue, no Halloween-TV-related crossword.

Bug fix for B mode. Also, I changed the way the block looks for being able to go down or not. This results in the block not flashing a lot when it sets into place. This also means that there's less time to figure out if you want to move it or not. Let me know if there's any bugs or it doesn't work on a Harmony or anything else. 2600tris20111030.bas.bin

I'd have to have two variables of keeping track of the score, one for the actual number of lines so the speed can change every ten lines, and another to tell the computer to change the scoring differently than what it used to do (i.e. make it four points instead of three for a three-line clearing.) If someone would like to help me out by making a kernel in bB that supports two scores (which I bet can happen because I got a version of two scores working in GoSub 3, only using two two digit scores and one six digit score, both displayed at the same time), then I would be less apprehensive about changing the score. Another reason I wouldn't really want to is because it wouldn't be the actual number of lines if I changed it without two scores being displayed.

I just got a bunch of stuff for my birthday from my party I had today because my actual birthday is Wednesday and they didn't want to celebrate it then because they all have to go to work the next day. The most interesting thing i got is a DS game: Plants vs. Zombies. Just for a lark, I went online to see if there were any more regular DS games I should get before it dies, and to my surprise there actually are some. Here are the ones I want: Professor Layton and the Last Specter, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Max and the Magic Marker, and Dreamworks Super Star Kartz. For my birthday I also got a whole bunch of jack-o-lantern related stuff I asked for, along with a Bible and a Koran. I'd like to read up on why the Muslims want to kill us. I'm not really a religious person at all, I just got the Bible so I could have one in the house in case I wanted to look something up. I like watching those nutcase ministers on TV that say god talked to them because it's amusing. But that's all I'll say about that here...

OK, I am making this program where you're moving a thing across the screen. What I want to do is figure out whether or not the thing moving hits a dot (it's like pac-man) and if so, add one to the score. Basically, what I want to do is like so (which is not valid BASIC): IF PLOT D,E,"." THEN H=H+1 Well, can you help?

That guy's handwriting makes his f's look like p's. I honestly thought he said "We'll see who has more 'pun'."

US only please.

bump.

Tetris Axis was a "bonus" review, mainly because I wanted it so much. I will still be having a 3DS review every Monday. Just got back from the store with another brand-new 3DS game to put up a review for on Monday. I don't want to tell what game it is yet, but I will say it's kind of a fitting game to be reviewing on Halloween. I also got my book I ordered off eBay (it's about damn time, too! I think I ordered it a week ago.) So that's what I've been up to today so far. I will be celebrating my birthday tomorrow (it's actually on Wednesday, 11/2.) So happy birthday to me.

That is, if it's not terribly expensive. Ever since I heard about one, I've always wanted one. I'd also like some games with it, too. Anything, I don't have anything. PM me if you have one.

I wanted Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions for the 3DS, but it's $40! Why?! Almost every other 3DS game at Best Buy was $30 or below. More like "Expensive Buy" if you ask me, especially with all those DVDs of boxed sets and laptop computers and cameras and iPods and stuff. I did get a box set, though: Every Planet of the Apes movie (which was less than $40, mind you!). Sometime when I'm really bored and have nothing to do for like 10 hours, I'll sit down and watch every single one, one right after another. I already bought The Exorcist to watch on Halloween. Now I also have 5 ape movies to watch. I had the original on VHS, but now I have it along with the four other ones, on DVD, the last two of which I have never seen. I love the POTA movies, and am skeptical of the Rise one that just came out. I bet they had to put a lot of sex in it, which would actually be kind of interesting if it was man/ape sex, but it probably isn't. Sex with monkey makeup on. I don't think I'd like the remake, either, they probably put a bunch of sex in that one, too, although I don't see how. I guess they could have sex on the spaceship, or maybe the apes could mate, but I bet there's too much sex in every movie nowadays, which is sad because movies used to be fun. I will write a funny movie with no sex in it one day. I bet the script has to be at least 100 pages, though. I'd like a movie script book. While researching Beavis and Butthead, I saw MTV Books made a book of the script of the movie. Too bad Borders is gone. Now there is no store to buy books in this town (no Barnes & Noble or any other thing.) I guess I'll just have to be content with The Exorcist and my ape movies.

Why not? Because I don't want to nor know how to pay for games online. I love the fresh factory-sealed smell of a game once it had been opened. I love taking the cellophane off in anticipation. I love going into the store to look at all the games and then handing the clerk $30 for a game. All that will be gone, the clerks will be out of a job, and I'll have to figure out how to download stuff online without a "hot spot" or anything like that around. Imagine going into a Starbucks not liking coffee, sitting down with a latte that I probably won't even drink just to use their free wi-fi. The world is going nuts over this crap. And it won't stop, either. My god, I sound old, don't I? I'm only 28!

Divide that price by 100 and you'd get around the right price for it!
