    I really would have thought the high score enabled FujiNet games would have had a larger impact on the High Score Club here on AtariAge, but it seems to have gone completely unnoticed, or ignored...

      At least I made the leaderboard on ATASCII or whatever the name of the game was, that was cool :D

    Every few years when I go on a Dreamcast kick, I always wonder why I play anything that's not Dreamcast.

      I miss the Dreamcast games but I miss having friends that would come over to play them all with me more, as that's what made it one of the best gaming consoles of all time in my view. Those were the days... some 20 years ago now.... :: sigh ::

    Give me one of your best 'one liners' to be used for a Jag game before preparing for battle, losing and winning....

    If a game company were to just make fun games with long play times, multiple endings, good replay values, and addictive multiplayer environments, but and I cannot stress this enough, not make you need a new video card every year, do you think they would make more or less money?

    1. Clint Thompson

      Clint Thompson

      There's enough developers in this world to have both thankfully. I didn't need to upgrade my last video card for almost 5 years but that only works if you get the top of the line video card. Even then, I didn't need to upgrade... but I did.

    Realize I'm a little late to the FujiNet game but considering we're talking about using A8 devices in 2023 anyways, would have expected a minimal turnout for on-line gameplay. Ghost town...

      @bent_pinyeah I’ve created a thread and followed up two weeks in a row. Net result: Zero. I suppose maybe a monthly planned date well in advance might work. I’ll give that a shot.

    I just bought an ultrasound printer. Surely this is (ab)normal behavior but there are reasons and it's most definitely not for ultrasounds. Though I suppose I could setup shop for that too now lol.

    Some kid who goes to the same hagwon that I go to was tested positive for COVID. School immediately made me go home and I’m required to have a swab stabbed up my nostril again. Good thing I’m vaccinated I guess, although I probably won’t be allowed to go to school until I’m confirmed negative.

    one day, nintendo is going to piss off a bigger fish and then they'll be in trouble. their constant lawsuits are the reason all the talented modders and artists are working for Valve and Sony.

     

    Sure, you can work for Nintendo but why? They support creative freedom but damn all if you try to go it alone with their software. Information should be free and they are making Tandy's mistake all over again.

     

    The TI-994/a failed because Tandy refused to share anything and insisted on being the sole maker. Nintendo is going to fail if they don't stop suing people and sites they have no business going after. 

    I'll work for sega before i work for Nintendo

    Crazy to see external CD-R prices of 1996 being $1,295 and realizing the media is officially considered extinct amongst the clould-streaming world.

    1. Clint Thompson

      I mean the cost of a new CD burner in 1996 being that expensive and now it's only of use for old relics like us ;)

    I woke up and my neck hurt. I have been awake for like 6 hours now and it still hurts. It's, well, a pain in the neck.

      At least it's not a pain in the ass? That could be slightly concerning lol

    Reading programmer's source code notes can be very telling of who they are and also entertaining. Example:

     

    Someone: see if level should change

     

    Jeff Minter: this connects the x and y naughty points (and) all source files named after animals lol

     

    :lol: love it

    I grew up on the NES, Genesis and Windows 98. I played Tomb raider III, Bugs Bunny Double Trouble and Bible Adventures, So believe me when i tell you that I KNOW THE MEANING OF PAIN!

     

    The opposite of pain is Space quest and Sam and Max hit the road. that's just mental torture, that's fine

      @digdugnatge agreed, using the older stuff (especially during a time when $4,000 multimedia computers were just starting to come out) really makes you appreciate it all so much more when you actually get to it. I'll never forget talking to my 'girlfriend' over the home landline phone (I was a kid at the time mind you lol) and hearing the Super Mario Bros music in the background. Admittingly I was a little jealous but she graciously described how beautiful the game was while allowing me to listen to the music through the phone lol 'Oh, you don't know about the under water level?!' ?

    I'd love for Sega to re-release the Sega CD as an all in one unit that combines the 32X, CD and main genesis on an ARM64 chipset. Everything else, sound and graphics untouched. Maybe give the option to enhance but leave it otherwise. Games are on SSD and usb.

      @Curious Sofa I owned a Jaguar when they were talking about releasing the Neptune but I would have bought one had Sega released it. Mind you, I never owned a Genesis before that either. Though I did want one for Sonic years prior and a Game Gear was my alternate wish list item if I hadn't gotten the Jag.

      It was only painful because Windows 98 would sometimes take 20 minutes to get up and running to where you needed it to. Imagine growing up with a TRS-80, ASCII or text adventure games and only getting to play an NES at friends house instead of owning one.
