  1. 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.
  2. 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?"
  3. so all should be up by next week? el-oh-el
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 2600 5200 Intellivision Coleco Vision NES SNES GameCube N64 MasterSystem Genesis SegaCD Sega 32X Game Gear GameBoy Lynx Vectrex NeoGeo Saturn Dreamcast Wii WiiU PSP Vita Xbox Xbox 360 PS1 PS2 PS4 Some of those were friend's consoles. I still have my 2600, 5200, Genesis, 32X, Power Base Converter, SegaCD, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, Xbox360, PS2, PSP and PS4 A bunch of 2600 games are in the Falcon and Dynomutt tin lunchbox i used to take to school back in the day lol
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. The Poconos...if anyone knows where that is in PA.
  10. I'm on an hour long youtube loop so far watching this guys videos now lol. Good stuff.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. I remember seeing those as a kid in a store called Caldor in NJ. My buddy had a C64 but I could never figure out how that cassette tape drive worked. At least I think it used a cassette. I only saw his computer once during our friendship. Otherwise we played Atari 2600.
  14. Visited GF's family last week. Went into their basement and saw a barely faded SNES sitting there! I was jelly want wanted to accidentally put it in my bag before we left lol.
  15. Always had consoles as a kid and never had a computer until i was 22 years old in 1995. Apple Performa 6200CD 75 MHz PowerPC 603 processor, 8 MB of RAM, a 1.0 GB hard drive and a 4X CD-ROM drive in a compact desktop case. This model also shipped with a 15" Apple color monitor and an external 14.4k modem. I think it cost about $1200 back then at Sears. Oh the memories. Then moved to PC in about 1998 I believe. Having a computer also meant finally getting on that thing called "the internet"..lol. Bored one day I wondered if there was any naughty things on the internet to see. Typed in free xxx pics and it was downhill from there lol. The days of waiting for interlaced JPEG photos to load from top to bottom and 30 second videos taking 10 minutes to download and a resolution of 320x240 or whatever it was.
  16. Nice! And only 4 short years later Imagic was gone.
  17. My old 2004 Dell that i retired in 2011 had a floppy drive
  18. lol i used to work at a print shop and me and the other dude were like "WWWOOOOWWW" when we got a ZipDrive that used MASSIVE 100MB disks.
  19. Cleaning out a closet I came across one of my old CD cases. So many demo discs from my PC Gamer sub back in the day. So weird to see demos that actually fit on a CD rom lol For some reason I also thought of a couple top down shooters I downloaded I think back in 2000-2001 that were so cool for that time. They used the modern tech then for a 3D look to game play. They were Star Monkey and Ultra Assault. Re-installed them and brought back memories playing them about 15 years later.
  20. Was gonna reply in there but i see its locked. Just curious why. EDIT: I just noticed that all the OP's threads on this page are locked.
  21. lol, yes you're right. But those Ecco tunes are perfect.
