Starbuck66

I still wish they'd make a flashback with a cartridge slot.

I've had Zaxby's and loved it! I never had the opportunity to try RC, but if I'm near one at some point I'll definitely give it a try.
 
We are just starting to get Chick-Fil-a in Michigan; I think restaurants are set to open early next year. There was one across from our hotel in Fairfax when my family and I were doing DC for our vacation a couple years back, and we ate there for dinner the first night, and had it for breakfast 3-4 times during our trip. So I'm a little excited :-)

If you couldn't tell from my name, HUGE BSG fan, and I'm in the both camp.
 
To be honest, I wasn't pleased when I heard some of the characters were going to be gender swapped in the new one (especially Starbuck), but the pilot looked so good, I had to watch it. After seeing Starbuck punch out Colonel Tigh, I loved new Starbuck just as much as old Starbuck.
 
I still watch the old show from time to time. It's campy as hell at some points, and I still chuckle when I see the same reused space battle shots over and over, but it's definitely more family friendly than the new one which is a big plus for me.

Loved HaCF seasons one and two! I haven't had time to take in season 3 yet, but I plan to at some point. Great show with some great characters and addicting story. I wish AMC would make more shows like this and less shows like Walking Dead.

My last flight to Disney in Florida back in August, my wife, daughter and I all took our 3DS's on the trip. We played some Mario Kart 7 using my daughter's cartridge and download play while we were at the airport. Had a blast! Got airsick on the plane though, so no 3DS for me during the flight :-(
 
I have a DS multicart, so it varies what I play and when, but it makes my 3DS the system of choice for me when I travel.
 
I also have a PSP, and if I'm really into a particular PSP game at the moment or want emulation, I use it instead.

Thanks Rick, sounds like a plan! I haven't tried MAME stuff on it yet, so I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.

Hoping someone here can share some insights on this, as I put up a post over on AtariAge 4 days ago and have yet to receive even a single reply.
 
I have a Pi 1 that I'm running Retropie on, but it seems like the majority of the games I try on the SNES and NES have serious sound issues. The sound is slow and choppy. I also get some gameplay lag in SMB 3 and SMW.
 
I didn't know if this is a horsepower issue? I had heard of minor issues using the Pi 1 for emulation, but nothing this bad. My other thought is that I need to tweak some settings in Retroarch?

Hi Phil, I just want to say my daughter and I love your reviews! It's great to see someone on YouTube so devoted to reviewing titles on the 2600. I'm also thankful for the "no swear" part of your mission; it's great to be able to watch your reviews with my daughter without worrying about foul language or adult innuendo. CGR does a good job showing the Atari lots of love, but his scope is so wide it can be a while between Atari game reviews. Other retro YouTube channels just tend to ignore or rag on the Atari. So thanks, and I look forward to future reviews!

Both! Although Battlestar Galactica came first :-)

Congrats on the additions on the way! I'll also be sure to pass your hello along :-)
 
We were both glad to see 2600 Ghostbusters get some love in your review; it's been a must play Halloween game for us for a few years now. We're both dressing up as Ghostbusters for Halloween this year (she's dressed like the girls from the remake, I'm dressed like the guys from the original), so we've been playing all the Ghostbusters games, good and bad. I have to say I enjoy the Atari one more than the NES one; it's easier to forgive gameplay shortcomings on the Atari than the NES. It's definitely a game I wish I had a heavy or light sixer for though... Having to fumble with the difficulty switch on the 7800 is a bit of a pain.

Just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to everyone. I love all things Atari, and I'm very into retro and modern gaming. My consoles range from pre-crash to Xbox One.
 
I live in the West Michigan area, so if I have some Midwest flavor or tendencies in my posts that's why :-)
 
Hoping to contribute where I can, and looking forward to learning more from other members about this amazing hobby!

I love Adventure, and it's must play for me every time I fire up my 7800, my Flashback, or Atari's Greatest Hits on my DS. Can't get enough of this game!
 
My daughter always calls the hero "Mr Dot," and says that he's Link's grandfather. I kind of suggested the premise of the game being similar to Zelda to get her to try the game out, and now she's as hooked as I am on it :-)
 
Thanks to all who posted links to hacks and variations as well; I'll definitely check those out!

I haven't played the 8 bit version yet because I'm worried it will ruin the 2600 version for me. I did play this a few months ago and struggled with it, but I remember enjoying it and being better at it when I was a kid. Seeing this thread makes me want to give it another go :-)
