That's strange, they weighed it and shipped it rather than doing the flat rate? Saving 10 bucks is great.
Nice picks too

GYCW is back with one of the most overlooked conversions of all time, the infamous Atari 2600 E.T. was actually ported to another system!

Yeah, that's what happened. LJ07 originally posted about this in the Atari 2600 section, but I politely pointed out the fact that MaximumRD already beat him to it. I guess the two threads got merged afterwards. -

Don't think I'm being rude man, because I'm not trying to be rude. Someone already made a post like this on here a few days ago. Sorry.

MaximumRD reacted to Ballblaɀer in E.T.'s Unknown Port | GYCW
This is fantastic, thanks for posting it. Three gripes with an otherwise great and entertaining video review:
1) One *can* catch Atari's E.T. before hitting the bottom of a pit and "beam out" before hitting bottom if there's no phone piece there, and in fact it saves a ton of energy since hitting bottom subtracts 269 energy units. Granted, none of this is documented in the instruction manual. But ideally one should levitate during a fall into EVERY pit, and gently lower oneself to the bottom if needed.
2) Atari's E.T. *does* include a way to turn off enemies (choose Game 3 to turn off the Scientist and the FBI Agent, keeping only Elliott).
3) The quoted review doesn't say "inspired by", it specifically says that E.T. is "similar in format" to Adventure and Superman, and it is. They all have game "maps" traversible in four directions, something not common at the time.
In summary: OUCH. Seriously though, this video BE GOOD.

MaximumRD reacted to RickR in Your Console Restorations and Mods
Got my modded Vader back from atarilbc today, and it is totally AWESOME. Look at the red-glowy goodness of that red LED. The composite picture is sharp, the colors are vivid. I LOVE IT. Very nice work. Thank you so much atarilbc.
As an added bonus, that joystick came via a trade with ataribrian, who did the microswitch mod on it. It works really well, although it's kind of weird to hear clicky noises coming from a CX40! Thank you for this joystick, it's great!

MaximumRD reacted to Sabertooth in Zaku - One. Last. Time.
Zaku by Super Fighter Team is one of the best games available on the Lynx. It has great gameplay and amazing production for a "homebrew" and outshines most retail releases. The problem is that only 600 copies were produced and they've been sold out for a couple of years. This means that the only way to play Zaku has been to pay eBay scalper prices. The Lynx players who missed out around the globe let out a cry. Fortunately, Super Fighter Team answered their call. Today, they announced that they are going to do a second run of 400 copies of Zaku. The price is $58 shipped in the U.S., $65 worldwide. All of the details are here: http://www.zaku-lynx.com/purchase.htm
I am not at all affiliated with SFT. I just think that Zaku is an AMAZING game and want to get the word out. If you're into Lynx, you owe it to yourself to grab a copy. Check out this youtube video (not mine) and judge for yourself.
