  1. It's a toss up between Combat, and Astroids. E.T. was pretty epic though
  2. I asked sent them a message about the subscription and got a clear response withing an hour.
  3. Like 22nd ave and 53rd or so
  4. Not my game room, (i'm at work if I remember I will take a pic of both my game rooms later) however this is an Awesome Bar in my hometown of Kenosha WI. It has all kinds of arcade machines and pinball machines set to free play. You can go drink a few beers and get your Retro-game-on
  5. Luckily I have a local store that deals exclusively in table top games and Retro Video gaming. He has all kinds of great stuff! Colosseum Games in Kenosha WI https://m.facebook.com/colosseumgamesofwi Very honest reliable guy. I am sure he could ship you what ever you were willing to pay for.
  6. Mario Kart Maker would be sweet! Makes me think,is "Excite Bike" the first game to have a design your own well anything feature? I cant think of a game before it that allowed you to do so.
  7. I just pledged moments ago. It was pretty unclear about how many issues a year to expect, when to expect them. We'll see. Hope all goes well.
  8. Those are fantastic!!! I have a little 8-bit Mario figure like that but not on a warp pipe
  9. One was a pink lemonade bubble gum flavor (never had that one) and the other was Straight bubble gum flavor. Very sweet, as a kid it was perfect. Not sure how I would feel about it today.
  10. This was one of my favorite sodas as a kid. Didn't get it much because it was very hard to find. Also does anybody remember trying to collect all of the Pepsi Cool Cans?
  11. saw thie at Toys r us not long ago. I regret not getting it because I planned to on my latest trip there and they were sold out.
  12. Not a big fan of DLC. I do have to say that at leas with the wii u you can often buy an amiibo for extra content and then you get a little keep sake statue
  13. Ah, scanned the heading too quickly. Last one I bought was a 3dsxl for my son. Last one I got was a wii u last year for my birthday
  14. Battlefront....I returned it. before that Fallout 4. For Christmas my wife got me Splatoon and Mario maker. And for my wife's birthday I got her Donky Kong Counrty for wii u. She don't get it till next friday though.
  15. Not enough advertising dollars to be made. Their advertising dollars are better spent popping up on your social media feed than trying to reach the niche audience that would prefer a hard copy. Thank god I can still get all of my horror magazines delivered to my front door! I like the cost and convenience of being able to find stuff on the internet, but there's something about holding a magazine. The smell, the excitement when you look in the mail box and the latest issue has arrived. I find that I get exposed to more things with a magazine subscription as well. I paid for it so damn it I'm going to read it. As a result I often stumble across awesome stuff I never would have known existed had I just googled stuff I already knew existed. If I have a magazine I am going to turn every page. On a web site The odds of me clicking every link are slim to none. Plus nobody wants to take their greasy runny morning dump with their laptop, they need a magazine dammit!
  16. Hi all. I am a new member as of yesterday. I do a retro gaming podcast with Miketheratguy called "The Contra Code". I also play in a band, and I teach "Culinary Arts" at a technical high school. I read comic books. I like fishing,movies,and I have two wonderful kids. I have been playing Video Games as long as I can remember, starting with the Atari all the way to the present. I currently own a wii u, ps4, and a very nice gaming pc. My favorite console of all time it probably the Gamecube. My favorite current console is the wii u. Favorite game of all time is Mortal Kombat II, and currently am really in to the elder scrolls, and Fall out games.
  17. I really wish Nintendo Power still existed. There has to be a market for it.
  18. Quite often. I have a crappy old tv set up with all my old consoles. Play the Gamecube a lot! A lot of various Mario parties, and A lot of Mario Kart Double Dash. My three year old likes to walk around Animal Crossing, he calls it Animal walkings...stupid kid
  19. Let's just be glad they're not some gamer kid's beefy gamer moobs!
  20. One big reason is nostalgia. I used to be an EGM subscriber. When I moved out of my mom's house at 18 I chucked them out. I really regret doing so, and it will be neat to be able to look through all then old issues I once had. Also I do a podcast with Ratguy and we are thinking of doing an episode all about the classic gaming mags. This is a great resource. Will surely give a shout out to the website!
