Andromeda Stardust Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 In Videogame Hell, your only console is the WiNi (Weenie): Supplement your purchase with the Gina controller (long "i" as in "eye"). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 In Videogame Hell, all your consoles are SNES 2s in disguise...that are incompatible with SNES cartridges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 This thread is hilarious. I didn't get a chance to read through everything, so hopefully these aren't repeats: I finally receive the 7800 XM, but all the 7800's are broken. The only game I have is Decathlon and I end up breaking every joystick playing it. The only TV available has constant screen roll and the sync controls have been broken off. I'm forced to where headphones and only play online listening to 12 year olds curse and make constant racist and homophobic references. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In Video Game Hell you are mandated to get rid of every single video game console you own and replace it with the Coleco Chameleon. And the IRS makes sure you have it in your possession when filing your taxes, or else you get fined heavily. "The Affordable Console Act". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In video game hell, your collection are taxes annually. CIB Water World? $100 per year! Stadium Event? $10,000 per year! Gold NWC cart? $100,000 per year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lendorien Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) In video game hell, you only have Mario Party for the N64 to play, but the controllers thumbstick is already busted. In Video game hell, the only game you have to play is actually HELL on 3DO. (Anyone remember that one?) Or worse yet, "Plumbers don't wear ties." In Video Game hell, all those Sealed CIB games you own? Yeah, empty boxes. Better hope no-one ever weighs them. In Video Game hell, your "toaster" NES behaves like a real one and burns down your house. In Video game hell, the only place you can ever find games is at thrift stores, and they're always over-priced by about 850%. In Video Game hell, you walk into the thrift store at the same time as a guy is walking out with the score of the century And you probably only missed it by like 10 minutes.

Andromeda Stardust Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 In Video Game hell, you own every Atari game ever made, but only an NES to play them on. And no NES games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Video Game Hell... I'm living it now! People flaking out last minute or not following through with purchases they promised to make good on. Even though they had you hold something for weeks until they got "paid". And purchasing collectible items from idiots that don't take the time to respect the things you bought to package appropriately. And purchasing things from people that purposely mislead you by way of description and/or blurry photos as to the condition of their flea market/pawn shop junk. And being told that what you bought for x amount of dollars is worth nothing and receive a lowball offer. But based on previous and current sales here or elsewhere, you know they're full of shit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Video Game Hell... is when you purchase a multi-cart or mass storage device for your favorite vintage computer or game system, but then realize (through no fault of your own as NOBODY on the entire interweb bothers to relate a total sum of facts) that hardly anything works with it. And to make matters worse... requires a PeeCee running DOS or Windoze to "translate" the file or disk image into something your favorite vintage computer might be able to make heads or tails out of... but only if you're lucky that day. And the moon is just right. Solar flares down. During the vernal equinox. And salmon nearby swimming upstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Videogame Hell is when you insert a game and you have to sit through hours of manufacturer/programmer splash screens- and pressing any button won't skip them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800fan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Video game hell is invention and evolution of electronics never went past 1970's Pong stuff so you're still limited to 2 players games on black and white screen or limited to text only games on computers.

Doesn't sound so bad to me, provided there's someone to play with. Otherwise, yeah, that could get pretty boring. On a related note, I'd sell my left nut to the Videogame Devil for a Computer Space cab*. (*Which works perfectly and is in excellent physical condition. Nice try, Videogame Devil, but you're not getting my left nut for a broken down heap of shit.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it requires weird 4 phase 543 volts AC operating at 36Hz to power it so you got no way to play it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the moon is just right. Solar flares down. During the vernal equinox. And salmon nearby swimming upstream. I don't buy any ROM device that doesn't support drag and drop ROMs onto Fat32 formatted SD or Compact flash card. If it requires unsigned drivers or isn't 100% plug and play on a modern 64-bit Windows install, I will not buy it. I am lucky the CopyNES and Retrode works without drivers on 64-bit Windows. Now somebody create an Atari dumper that interfaces with modern PC. Someone is working on a Raspberry Pi Atari dumper that would be cool... Sorry for going OT non hell-related post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 You'd think it was awesome then, having nothing to compare it to! Haha let me rephrase that. The only version AVAILABLE would be the original 2600 version. You would have full knowledge and memory of all the others, from the original arcade to Pac-Man Battle Royale.

7800fan Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 In video game hell, homebrewn and hacker community are frowned on and viewed as scammer because everyone who promised new game or new gadget took money and ran like candle who first developed Lynx LCD replacement hack. I believe he still owes some people either the LCD kits or refunds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
