Thanks for the info Dweller. I'll poke around. You'd think there would be a site for that for folks that lost their original materials and just wanted something to print out as a reproduction.

To save everyone the trouble Misophonia is a phobia of the sound of food in someones mouth.

 

LOL.  You must have a severe case or I just never noticed.

thanks...i forget most people dont know what Misophonia is. Yeah it can get pretty bad for me. I don't go to theaters often because the sound of people crunching on popcorn the whole movie drives me crazy. I recently just asked a local theater if they have any wireless sound solution that works with headphones. Was so happy to hear most theaters do for hearing impaired folks but also works with folks like me.

Sounds of people kissing in shows/movies gets me annoyed too. 

Had this for the longest time..as a kid I always tried to make sure a radio/tv was on while eating dinner with the family...silence with just forks off teeth, swallowing and lip smacking were too much for me to deal with.

Weird thing is all these sounds don't bother me if I'm making them.....or a hot chick making mouth sounds lol.

if i had to pick my least favorite character it would be George....watching him eat on the show absolutely disgusts me and triggers my Misophonia...i have to fast forward through parts of him eating.

Some games whose soundtracks I loved for Genesis and Sega CD

Herzog Zwei

Thunder Force II

Thunder Force III

Whip Rush

Revenge of Shinobi

Midnight Resistance

Shadow Dancer

Streets of Rage 1 & 2

Super Hang-On

Robo Aleste (Sega CD)

Ecoo the Dolphin (Sega CD)

I never beat an arcade game. I mean, sure, getting through OutRun but that doesn't really count. I'm talking about finishing a game like TMNT, Simpsons or getting all the way through MK

Was wondering if there's a site that has high res scans of console pack in materials...manuals, coupons, ads, flyers, posters and all that stuff.

I'm weird...I watch Seinfeld or King of Queens every single day lol. Either I watch it or its on as background as I'm cooking or computing. Have each show ripped to my hard drive in HD

Breaking Bad was my first binge show experience. LOVED it. I think I finished the 5 seasons in about 2 weeks.

I love finding a new song and loving it! Nothing lately but here's some tracks that I either heard on a tv show/movie or happen to hear on a youtube video or something.

FOund it looking for an aquarium video

heard it during a funeral scene in Sons of Anarchy

heard it at the end of an Eastbound and Down episode

Currently playing:

Overwatch

Battlegrounds

Battlefield 1

Doom

If you're lucky enough to find a mall with an arcade, most likely it will be filled mostly with ticket redemption games. Only 6000 tickets for a pencil? Cool, let me spend $27 to win that.

I remember going to Epcot in the mid/late 90's and their Innoventions center was a huge Sega setup with a bunch of Genesis, Saturn and Arcade games set up. Was great.

Street Fighter 2 and all the Mortal Kombats, pretty much any fighting game.  The arcade I used to go to had one of the big screen setups in the front so whatever the big fighting game was would be on there.  I remember Mortal Kombat 3 being on it for months and always being packed.

 

I always loved the beat em ups as well.  TMNT, Simpsons, X-Men in particular.

my bro was pretty good at MK2. He was in a tournament at the mall arcade and got pretty far until a little Asian kid beat him.

I loved Bad Dudes.  I have so many memories playing that game in the arcades.  

You just reminded me of when I used to work at a resort as a kid and always heard this game in the rec area back in the 80's lol.

How could I also forget Daytona USA. Loved the multiplayer versions.

I would watch people play Dragon's Lair but was too nervous to play it cuz it looked hard. 

Did anyone go to Chuck E. Cheese as a kid? That place was the bomb in the 80's.

Sad to see arcades gone. Was cool to see how console translations would match up to the arcade version. 

What games do you remember always playing when you went to an arcade back in the day

Tempest

Ms. Pacman

Digdug

Xevious

Outrun

Turbo Outrun

After Burner

Super Hangon

Terminator 2 pinball

Never really played MK in the arcades cuz I stunk at the game.

Some memorable moments

Playing a tank game where it was a green unit that had two grip sticks for each player to control the tank. Was an top down view that looked like Atari 2600 graphics.

popping pacman into my atart 2600 and thinking "what the hell is this crap?"

popping in Super Thunderblade into my new launch day Genesis expecting to play the aracde version that I loved at home, booting it up, getting past the title screen and then thinking "what the hell is this crap?"

so all should be up by next week? el-oh-el

I have so many games for Xbox, 360 and PS4 that I've never played the single player campaign for. Usually buy a game just for the multiplayer portion. Have pretty much all the CoD and Battlefield games that are pretty much "new" since I never played the damn SPC for them!

Thought of this today because I preordered CoD:IW for the MW remaster. That will be the first game in a long time that Ill play the SPC for. Waiting to get my projector back from being repaired before I play it though...probably in a week. Ain't nobody got time to play on a spare 42" i'm using for now lol.

Maybe that will put me in the mood to finish off the MW, Black Ops and BF series lol.

I looked into all that but don't feel like spending the money and not completely sure how they all work and how to exactly use them or if I'd have to modify my consoles. So I just use EmulationStation on my Retropie'd pi2 with scanline overlay on...looks good enough to me.

A bunch of 2600 games are in the Falcon and Dynomutt tin lunchbox i used to take to school back in the day lol

Bored and reading old threads. Wow, seems every forum has that one a-hole that thinks he knows it all. Had one on the one forum i'm always on...all he did was butt heads with everyone and was just a miserable person. Worst part was that he was 1 of 3 owners of the forum. The other 2 owners bought him out and kicked him out. 

Googling this guy FuSoYa but not seeing anything about him. Any update about him in the past 7 years?

If its bad to bring threads back from the dead let me know and I wont do it again.

wondering how they'll grab game screen shots in high enough quality to print full bleed pages/spreads without a million jaggies. For illustration purposes on the web its easy but print is another story.

The Poconos...if anyone knows where that is in PA.

With all the chatter on the web about Nintendo "possibly" having a hand with the removal of the Nintendo Power collection on Archive, we go back in time to Nintendo vs Video Game Rentals!

 

 

 

I'm on an hour long youtube loop so far watching this guys videos now lol. Good stuff.

I think i did a mortal kombat one to send into Gamepro or was it EGM that had the envelope art? I wish i took a pic of it for memories sake before mailing out.

Commodore Vic 20.

Blazing fast 1.02 MHz processing.

A whopping 5 KB of RAM.

And Gorf - my favorite game for years.  Closely followed by the Vic 20 Donkey Kong.

 

A 286 PC with 5 1/4 floppy disk drive, 20 meg hard drive and 1200 baud external modem.  I don't recall the other specs - I may have never known them, actually, as it was an old PC gifted to me by my Uncle - but connecting to the local BBS after upgrading to an internal 2400 modem was ANSI menu bliss.

so cray to read the specs of computers from a time not really THAT long ago. When bored its always fun to look through old Radio Shack catalogues online.
