  1. Doing my ongoing lifetime of sorting through my collection, I just finished putting all my original NES and Super NES hardware, games and accessories and original games all in one big box, at least that I could find at this moment. This does include clone consoles or multi carts just original classic time hardware. There is still space in this box though because I am pretty sure as I go through the rest of my collection I will Be able to add more to this box.

  2. Well......I AM 50 TODAY ! HOLY CRAP.

  3. Occasionally I get in a weird mood and just think F*ck it, I will just stick to arcade games in MAME for all my gaming needs. :P

      I was saddened when I my wife told me about this. 2018 has claimed its first celebrity. Jerry was one of the best and last. RIP Jerry.

  10. Honestly had no plan to replace the old Toshiba 27' Tube Standard def until it literally died but that decision was made for us when relatives visited a few weeks ago and bought us a new 43" 4k Sharp TV. Gotta admit it is nice.

      How does it handle older systems? Does it accept a 240p signal?

    2. DCG

      480p Tubes are still better for retro games, but 4K is better for TV shows. You need both

      I agree, but if you don't have space for both it becomes an issue. My tubes are in the garage and I have a few "beater" consoles that I keep hooked up out there. My "good" consoles are in the house and I use an older Samsung HD TV that still has s-video and component, despite being 1080p. It has a 4:3 aspect ratios setting too and most retro games look great on it. When that dies, it will be an upgrade and I know that some 4K TVs do not play well with the oldest consol...

  11. You nailed it, Sega Spartan? More like Sega Fartin am I right? ENOUGH ALREADY. No amount of petitions or signatures by Sega Fans is going to make the current Sega take notice or give a shit, they are too busy lending their license and IP's to cheap Chinese handheld and clone manufacturers for quick cashing in on Sega fans nostalgia.

  12. Random memory - Back in the day as a kid I would be thankful of 2600 carts in ANY condition even with torn or missing labels, I guess I was more creative and had more time in those days as I would literally create new labels with sticky paper, colored pencils and I would even cover them over top with transparent sticky tape in an attempt to preserve / protect my work. While they were hardly magnificent works of art they were creative and original and damn I wish I had kept them over the years.

      I picked up some like that. My Tutankham has no label. It is sometimes cheaper to get those since some people turn an eye from a game that has poor or no labels. But it is a good opportunity to get titles cheaper.

      Hey, if a game works, I could care less if the label sucks. My copies of Adventure, Galaxian, and Swordquest Earthworld all have ratty labels, but they work perfectly fine.

      Those bad labels are just a sign of love ;)
