MrRetroGamer Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 I didn't know Barry Manilow played Vectrex! He writes the songs, maybe he writes the games too?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gklinger Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 These sound fun. Do you sell them with electronic delivery? I've been copying all my DVDs to hard disk to reduce the physical amount of stuff I've got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 These sound fun. Do you sell them with electronic delivery? I've been copying all my DVDs to hard disk to reduce the physical amount of stuff I've got. That would be over 12GB of transfer, probably be easier (and faster) to do it yourself after you get the discs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artlover Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 These are HIGH QUALITY sets converted from the ORIGINAL VHS tapes. Sure you can look at the low-res clips on youtube (that most likely were taken from these DVDs) but this set is a nice addition to any classic gaming collection. Well, for the record, high quality dvd rips (avi formated divx encodes, around 600 megs a piece) used to be floating around on usenet a few years ago. I downloaded them back in Feb of 2006. There is also a huge retro gaming media torrent that is still floating around out there that has them, but it's an old torrent from several years ago and long dead (shame because it had a several boat loads of old classic gaming commercials, demos, promos and stuff too.) Anywho, it's good someone is still making it available since it can't be had anywhere else anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
