Today's Ending: Ikari Warriors 7800

Slingo Yahoo! Games Difficulty: None High Score: 86,000 February 26th, 2016 Notes: I know it's cheesy and based mostly on chance, but I have fond memories of playing Slingo on AOL during the heyday of free disc giveaways that gave you 1000 hours for free found in your local grocery stores. There are other versions of Slingo out there, but for some reason, this version reminds me of the basic, original version the most.

Ep 242: Ikari Warriors

The following games are called for and the rest will be packed up soon for my upcoming move: Winter Games Crossbow Dig Dug Star Wars Return of the Jedi Star Wars Jedi Arena Ballblazer Donkey Kong Tower Toppler Super Huey Jinks Ninja Golf Scrapyard Dog.

Nope didn't involve the Retro VGS guys at all. The holdings company simply licences out the Coleco name, so I'm guessing whoever planned on making them backed out at some point. Perhaps the project ending up being too expensive or perhaps the less than desired sales numbers of the CV Flashback scared them away.

Ep 241: Double Dragon (Sega Genesis)

I'm not going to speculate on what is under the hood at the moment, but I'm sure it is a work in progress so I never expected them to show a finished product so soon. And in the end, it will be the final product that matters and I highly doubt it will turn out to be a re-purposed SNES in a Jaguar shell. I will say this: I think the new price points they are mentioning are great! This is a big improvement over the previous campaign. I would be very tempted to go for the kickstarter if my finances allowed me.

Ohhhhh! Shiny! Thanks Chas10e!

So i am experimenting with a new segment where I will cover retro related toys and other retro related items such as comics, books, magazines, shirts and more. Right now the plan is to do it every other week. Here's my first covering the latest Hot Wheels Batmobile:

Update: Crossbow 7800, Winter Games 7800 and Rampage 2600 have been claimed.
