Flojomojo Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I saw him in the premiere of this play many years ago. He was Barry https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boys_Next_Door_(play) He has some range, which you can't see in those films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 According to Wikipedia, he has been in quite a lot, including Spin City, which I never watched, but I only know him from Ferris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro-Bit Generations Star Trek Generations Star Trek Voyager Spaceballs LOL Spaceballs, so dumb but I like it. Tim Russ, who was Tuvok the Very Serious Vulcan on Star Trek Voyager, had a little part in Spaceballs. https://youtu.be/g3iFJpGJiug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onmode-ky Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Time has passed. Tumbleweeds and cobwebs have settled in. But I still have hope that the Warriors of Light any owners of retail Generations units can help confirm the platforms for these 18 remaining titles: - 10-yard fight -- irem - argus -- jaleco - astyanax -- jaleco - exed exes -- capcom - exerion -- jaleco - field combat -- jaleco - formation z -- jaleco - higemaru -- capcom - image fight -- irem - kickle cubicle -- irem - kid niki: radical ninja -- irem - major title (listed as: major title golf) -- irem - r-type iii: the third lightning (listed as: r type 3) -- irem - rocky rodent -- irem - rod-land (listed as: rod land) -- jaleco - sonson -- capcom - totally rad -- jaleco - zippy race -- irem Also, I still need playability test results for Gadget Twins and Onslaught (i.e., do they even start?). I am more of a Star trek Classic kind of guy (up to Start Trek 4) ..... "what does it mean: exact change" kind of guy. I always liked my STIV:TVH reference in this 2013 post. With the revival of my quest to identify what's in the Generations, I apologize if I lead anyone out there to quote Bones when he responds to Chang's "I am constant as the northern star" in STVI:TUC. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) onmode-ky -- Maybe you should just get your own system?

OldSchoolRetroGamer Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 onmode-ky -- Maybe you should just get your own system? Has anyone confirmed whether not this thing will play roms off the SD card? In reviews I have seen it does not, just used for saves, this is the type of thing that if it DID load roms you'd have likely heard it from someone by now. According to this recent review it likely wont even be used for any type of upgrades either which sucks because apparently it is pretty crappy overall with bad sound and timing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGPWJIMbFnc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird how he harps about how nice the controllers are. I found them to be pretty bad honestly, and no options to use alternative controllers...

StopDrop&Retro Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Am I the only one that keeps an eye on this thread because I'm waiting for the $20 fire sale to start? I genuinely wonder how many they've sold in total. I seriously doubt it's over 1,000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I've seen at least one somewhat pleased owner. http://videogamecritic.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=147520#p147520 He recognizes that it's imperfect, but doesn't seem nearly as annoyed by the issues as others have been.

That's totally consistent with the tone of the videogamecritic site -- tons of variety and things to try, kind of a celebration of the eclectic. I had a buffet-loving friend who was fond of saying, "quantity IS quality!" What better way to generate 100 Twitter-length capsule reviews for the site? The TinyCartridge impressions and review were similar -- "this isn't GOOD, but I like it anyway." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I don't know if that applies to THE retrogamer or classic gamer.. But it definitely applies to the reviewer. So much regurgitation and repetition happen with reviews it's boring just plain meh. And to properly review retro things you have to have direct experience with them. Not just plug'n'play for a day, but have played with them repeatedly for real fun outside of the review. And preferably back in the day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yeah, I'm personally getting tired of "reviews" that are essentially a regurgitation of the press release. Good recent examples are the NES Classic and Retro Bit Generations. Lots of videos on YouTube, lots of blog posts, but very, VERY few actually telling me how it looks, how it sounds, etc. I want to compare the audio on the NES Classic with the original. I want to see the slowdown on the RBG. I don't need five people showing me it has HDMI. Thanks, I already knew that part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
