I think I should play some "ice" based games today! 

What a depressing Valentine’s Day. It’s been so long since we’ve been quarantined. I imagine we’re all struggling right now. Hang in there; it’s almost over.

Tonight, Atari 7800 Forever takes a look at the unfinished Tetris clone: Blocdrop! http://www.atari7800forever.com/blocdrop.html

It's Feb 2 -- time to re-watch this film:

Just bought a crazy nice lot of boxed Atari XE games!

Today's quick sketch, his Spidey sense is tingling ! 

Wondering if I did something wrong on here.🤔  I posted something only for it to be hidden and needing moderator approval.  I'm confused.

Happy Monday, everyone!  This one has been cracking me up since yesterday. 

💻 I remember the days of AOL chat when most people couldn’t upload or send pics online yet, and so you just had to guess if a girl was attractive based on how she described herself and whether she had a cute screen name like “AbercrombieGirl17” or something.

The first girl I ever had an e-relationship with I met on Tumyeto Skate Chat (long gone website) in 1996. Her username was “*~luckycharms~*or something. Talked on the phone with her every night for months and had no idea what she looked like until she mailed me a letter and photo

Have some of my STATUS posts been removed? 🤔

Just a couple quick silly sketches on the mini iPad with my Apple Pencil. I always seem to have a basic idea what I’m going to do but then I just sort of see where it takes me so here’s some silly comic character type sketches. 😜

🤔 Why was Mrs. Roper always so hot and bothered?

Retro TV shows! Three months ago in early October 2020, I ordered these DVD sets from ebay. For a month, the tracking number indicated that USPS hadn't received the package from the seller. I believed the seller when she said that she did ship, but what can you do? After I waited a month, and without fuss, she gave me a refund. Today, out of the blue, they showed up in my mail box. I already bought them from another seller on ebay couple of months ago. These are in better condition than my other new and sealed sets. Anyone want to trade DVD box sets of old TV shows? 🙂 

After re-acquiring a tube TV and appreciating how it does wonders with older games and media, I've re-embraced DVD content. Many old TV shows are only available on DVD, and I've purchased a several (Munsters, I Dream of Jeannie, Bionic Woman, 6M Dollar Man, My Living Doll, some Korean shows) during the past six months after holding out for Blu-ray releases.

A quick review of the "Super Mario Bros Game & Watch".  One of my kids got one as a gift, and I've borrowed it while they weren't looking.

Quick summary:  It's awesome.  Worth the price.

My opinion is that Super Mario Bros on NES is a masterpiece.  The colors, the music, the level designs, the bright graphics.  All perfect.  And this little device captures all that.  At first, the controls seem a little slippery, but that's just because the screen is so small.  Once you get used to that, it's all good.  The screen is nice and bright.  The music sounds great.  It's so well done. 

Bravo to Nintendo for doing nostalgia products with such high quality. 

I've seen a lot of complaints about "no kickstand".  Really?  OK.  If that's all there is to complain about, I think it speaks highly about this product.

2 new crew members.  Both engineers.  LaForge and O'Brien. 

Happy New Year! We are now only 63 years away from the great robot takeover...

Pretty pumped that Pac-Man publisher Bandai-Namco reposted my Pac-Tree on their IG and Twitter!  Totally made my day!

😛😎 Holy crap Cyberpunk 2077 is 🔥🔥🔥

TUESDAY NIGHT CHAT!

I will be in the chat tonight (around 7:15pm Pacific).  My goal is to try a few rounds of emulated Cybermorph for the high score challenge.  Join me if you'd like to see how that goes.  Maybe you need guidance on setting up an emulator.  Maybe offer me some tips on the game.  Or whatever you'd like to chat about. 

Every year at about this time, I get super nostalgic for Metroid.
