    I watched it and I though you were fair in your review.  This version is not as good as the Lynx version but it does fill a gap in the 7800 game library.  The system needed more games like this one but with more sophisticated gameplay to be able to compete with the NES.  I think what Bob accomplished with Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest is a good example.

    Commie Mutants is a fun game but you have to be careful with which power ups you choose.   If you use them all the game gets boring fast because you can beat the aliens rather easily.  🙂
    The SuperCharger is awesome!  It's too bad it died due to the crash.

    The 2600 Jr.  I like the aesthetic of the console and how it fits with the other Atari consoles.

    Love the Super Charger. Communist Mutants from Space is my favorite Starpath game. Btw, I purchased an Arcadia Corp. Super Charger catalog and to my surprise, it has an offer for a Full Color Communist Mutants from Space poster. I was not aware that a poster existed. I love this artwork. Does anyone have or ever seen the actual poster? I'm willing to pay $7.00 for it. 😉

    It was my understanding that the Buran never flew with a Cosmonaut, only an unmanned test because (1) they never trusted it and then abandoned due (2) to lack of funds, mainly due to Ronald Reagan trapping them into spending tons of money on their military and to counter the fictional "Star Wars" program, which led to internal issues like a stagnating economy leading to civil unrest coupled with Gorbachev loosening the grip with restructuring and openness leading to them losing control about a year later when Boris Yeltsin terminated it after the fall of the Soviet Union.  So if I were to assign blame, it was Ronald Reagan that did the program in.

    That looks really nice imho, hope it serves you well. 
     
    Totally had that and enjoyed it, as well as a very similar-looking Microsoft version, but this one I had for years until I literally wore it out. Today I am using the cheapo generic small keyboard that came with our newer LENOVO Legion Desktop,🤷‍♂️ it's "good enough" as our keyboard space is constrained.  Never had anything too fancy or pricey, the previous main desktop now used as a secondary bedroom PC came with more RGB options but I STILL swapped it out with one from a couple of spare Lenovo Business Keyboards my wife got when they upgraded them from her IT job, no flashy lights or anything fancy but good quality well working since they were for the office. As well admittedly besides a couple of mice, I been pretty lucky finding either wireless Logitech mice in our electronics recycling over the years, I assume upgraded but they were still like new so score, missing only the dongles but they synced just fine with the universal Logitech dongle I had from a previous peripherals as they accept several peripherals simultaneously.

    Oh and FYI THESE are my original carts, not much but a couple of nice titles, I cannot play Japanese Mahjong even if it had an option for English I don't know the game and a couple are GBC but I have the GBA SP to play those.

    You may be surprised.  It helps your wrists and it is easier to adapt to than you think.  I cannot get used to the ones that are curved and split.  Like this one...

    Well I posted my third review yesterday.  Despite my love for Scrapyard Dog I did what I consider to be an objective review.  Maybe I was too harsh on it?  You'll have to let me know. 
     
    This Thursday I'm posting a brief Overview of the Atari 7800 Flashback aka the only flashback with 7800 games.  The end to that one might be a little silly but whatever. I guess I have to take risks. 
     
    I'm feeling a little burnt out on videos after the marathon of getting two ranking videos out so hopefully I can get my mojo back for next week. Regardless stay tuned!  It'll either be really good or so bad it's good lol

    Oh yes, there are several.  There's one of some adventurers who went there without permission and even stayed overnight!  As it turns out, there are regular patrols that go check on these so those guys had to make sure they were well hidden.
