  1. EVERY)ONE ! I just purged all my Youtube subscriptions as it was getting out of hand with 800 subscriptions lol. I am in the process of adding back my favorites in case you notice me recently subscribing, this time around I really am being picky, IF you have a channel centered on Classic Gaming and or Computing let me know and I will defintiely consider it THANKS (NOTE: THIS IS NOT A Sub4Sub thing!- no promises)

      I don't get why people expect subs 4 subs

      @Yo-Yo some people are desperate to inflate their sub count, I have always done the youtube thing for my own fun, I only sub to channels I watch and only want people to sub me because they like my videos, sadly many others have a different agenda.

  2. Currently 25c / 77f here in beautiful Kelowna BC Canada, just got back home from a new Italian place where we had Meatball and Sicilian sandwiches and Cappuccino's, we brought home some Gelato (2 flavors Dark Chocolate and LIME ! Have a great weekend everybody!

  4. Just occurred to me my only Trackball is for Colecovsion, I really gotta get at least one for 2600 some day !

  5. My latest friends , just some silly fun......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbkdy_NXlDQ
  6. Oh yeah the original Flashback was really more of a testing the waters device, also uses NES-on a chip with the games being ports, and those included controllers work only with the unit. Later Flashbacks , well the 2 and 2+ were actually really good as they were re-engineered hardware based on original 2600 chipset, even has traces on the board where some modders added an cart slot for very good compatibility with original carts plus you can use original joysticks and paddles. From the 3 onward they were not designed by the same people but most buyers seemed satisfied, they mostly just change up the games list and amount of included titles. I have the Flashback 2 and I am happy with it as a convenience / conversation piece but my favorite thing is using my Harmony cart with one of my original Woody or Vader models.
  7. Seeing Rowsdowers recent handheld pickups gave me the idea to post this, about the only one in my collection and not sure it really fits in the "handheld" catagory as it is pretty large lol (tabletop?) but here it is anyway my look at the Bambino Boxing videogame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynnknsbb1Pg Came across the original commercial as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwt9Lk6e-7s

  13. Awesome NES gaming donations from Warumon ! [video=youtube_share;zkvpRxmmYfI] I have pasted the video description below so no need to view on youtube: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! For those who don't appreciate the narration or my usual rabble !!!!!!!!!! You may go DIRECT to the unboxing / reveal beginning around the 8 min 40 sec mark. Wow! I knew the package was coming and I knew it would have games but what is really cool is it arrived ON MY BIRTHDAY merely by fluke because it came all the way from Germany, was held up in Canadian customs and yet here it is right on my 47th Birthday ! So please share my fun and excitement (and YES I did it right this time without too much backlight washing out the images ) Thanks once again to the generous, thoughtful and all around awesome Youtuber / Retro gamer / Musician and Classic Hardware restorer Michael - "Warumon Gaiden" aka Mr.PastGlory aka Michael.

  14. Heya gang! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoying the Holiday's.! Just had an impulse going through older vids to share this. Never been much into HALO myself but these two videos have a connection to it if somewhat losely lol.: Unboxing my first HOMEBREW! (2600!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTBP00r_q2s I claimed THIS to be my first and only HALO related item as I must of totally forgotten the earlier video lol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqtDV_nnhSA
  15. Yep, I offer you yet another unplanned / unrehearsed video, seems these are what I do most these days http://youtu.be/P1l0CijVXOw
  16. Reboot has released RAPTOR and RAPTOR Basic for the Atari Jaguar, lowering the barrier to creating new Jaguar games. http://t.co/Mlh39kvEtI Hopefully some great things come of this.....

  18. I have two TG-16's, both do composite A/V without the official add-on as they have been modded. No original HuCards (I gave those away ) which is fine since I have a TurboEverdrive so I can load any PCengine / TG16 game up and play on the TG16! Some great games for sure!
  19. Not a planned video at all but as I was downloading some games anyway figured I would switch on the camera and talk a bit about my JXD s7800b ANDROID GAMING DEVICE. Also I demonstrate some ZELDA A LINK TO THE PAST - GBA Emulation as well. Thanks for watching! http://youtu.be/AR2_Qq0QI2s Well what the heck, here is a 2nd unplanned video, seems the Dreamcast emulation was running pretty good after I downloaded IKARUGA for Dreamcast so I thought what the heck, I'll share a bit of that one with you all as well. http://youtu.be/-3IdVZ-egt8
  20. Thanks for all the support ! This is an older video but got to talking about the item and wanted to share. older vid of mine, still one of my favorite things I EVER bought for classic gaming! http://youtu.be/3VIf6_Ui3iE Here were my follow up vids! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKEZNeMUaTA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgRZWyppHY4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vQMELJGtqw HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM AS MUCH AS I ENJOYED MAKING THEM.
  21. I have been asked quite a bit about my own thoughts and impressions since doing my Colecovision and Intellivision Flashback unboxing video. Damn crazy views I got on that one compared to my usual numbers. Anyway, I just have not had the time or opportunity to plug my own back in BUT I can tell you from the info I have seen from others videos and comments etc, I will offer this: Colecovision FLASHBACK: Sadly, the controllers are not interchangeable with the original ones, they were originally suppose to be but a last minute decision (likely to meet a quicker release ) changed that. The emulation is even worse than on the Intellivision Flashback. One real example is THE HEIST by Microfun on the Colecovision flashback pretty much running at 1/2 the original speed UGH! Not only does that kill the once fun and bouncy music but it kills the pace of the game, that is the worse of it though, the rest play OK. If your expectations are not too high (IE: you are not expecting a perfect representation of the original games) for the casual retro gamer just looking to quickly and conveniently relive some Colecovision fun it is not too bad a deal. Note also a dude on Atariage offering a sticker set helping this unit look much closer to the original design of the Colecovision which is nice as AtGames seemed to put less effort in this area than they did for the Intellivision Flashback. That said my original Colecovison, accessories and 128in1 cartridge isn't going anywhere. Intellivision Flashback : Same issue with the controllers not being interchangeable with the originals (though a dude on Atariage offers adapters to fix this issue allowing you to use the Flashback controllers on original Intellivisions) Games play a little better than compared to the Coleco FB however a true fan will still notice some quirks especially in the audio department compared to the original but nothing too drastic. Again, for the causal player just looking to plug n play for some Intellivision fun not too bad a deal. I DO hope to get some time to myself to actually hookup and play to demonstrate for you all personally some of what i have reported here. Don't wait for me if you are on the fence for either of these though as you can find plenty of videos demonstrating all the new Flashbacks that are very thorough. Bottom line, these are not for the "purist", you guys can just stick to the original but the price point and all the included games means it is really marketed to those that had one as a kid and passes by seeing it on the shelf and they think "HEY! I remember having a Colecovision / Intellivision, this looks cool!" it is NOT for those who have the original hardware / games unless you are the type of collector who just has to have everything regardless or just want as a conversation piece etc. Had the games played more accurately or the controllers been compatible with originals right out of the box it would have been a no brainer, as it stands though you can decide if it is worth it for yourselves.
  22. Description: Intellivision & Colecovision UNBOXINGS ! Finally received the Pre-Order I had made several months ago! Though tempted to cancel due to some details that later came to light I decided to just wait it out and today I received both of the latest Flashback units from AtGames. These were purchased online from ToyR'Us in the USA and shipped to me here in Canada via iParcels (who seem to have done a fine job overall) I give lots of narration and details so please watch and listen and see for yourselves exactly what you can expect should you decide to pick either of these up. These units were about $40 USD (corrected from my video commented) plus an additional $35 to have both units shipped to my address. I mention both pros and cons of these systems as well should you be interested in the cables/adapters to make the Intellivision Flashback controllers compatible with the original console Buy the Flashback Controller Adapter Here:[/size] http://intellivisionaries.com/flashback/ *Contents may differ according to retail distributor. http://youtu.be/ARdkHjDJTVo
  23. I like it enough that I will keep it and even consider some more titles, to be fair I don't get much play time and have not used it since making that video.
