  1. I mean, I never thought about it before, but it did turn out this way...
  2. And here is my second "real" score: 648. Game 1/A/A. I love this game so much and I'll tell you my tips. Use the subway to get to the jail/daily planet/phone booth. Just memorize (or write down, you can kind of see my notes in the picture 🙂 ) which color and direction. Go UP inside the subway to cycle through the colors. Once you get this down, you'll be zooming to the right places very quickly and efficiently. Use x-ray vision from WITHIN the subway to figure out where everything is (to make your map) AND to find the criminals and bridge pieces. You will almost ALWAYS find everything you need using x-ray from within the subway. Move up/down mostly. That's the easiest way to find the subway entrances Carry Lois with you. That makes you impervious to the stupid kryptonite. The sound is annoying, but it 100% will lower your time. When you drop her to take a guy to jail or whatever, go back and get her once you are done. Greenween got it right....do the criminals first, then assemble the bridge. If you are a beginner, play 1/B/B a few times to make your map and figure out the game. 1/A/A is a lot harder, but once you know your way around, is really fun.
  3. I've got two scores to post. This first one DOES NOT COUNT because I used the pause cheat. It is really fun to try this, but the scores do not count here. I got 1 second, but it is possible to get 0! For fun only, here is my 1 second score:
  4. Wow, I've never seen a box. Sweet. I have a few of these, and I agree that they are great
  5. It's a time, isn't it? So 11:14 That's pretty dang good if I remember correctly. Nice job!
  6. Watch the @nosweargamerreview on YouTube for help.
  7. MP3 players can play WAV files. I think you can make games as big as you like BUT only be able to work in the 6k chunks that would fill the supercharger memory. Some games were multi-load. Example: Escape from the Mindmaster would load in each level. Or Dragonstomper loaded in the cave sequence when you got there.
  8. I may have mentioned before...I keep an old Sandisk MP3 player with all the game ROM files (in WAV format) in the same box as my SuperCharger. It feels so good to see those bars slowly move inward while loading games.
  9. The one nearest me when I was growing up was the very first to open and last to close in Oregon. The building is still there, all fenced off and closed. Depressing. There was a fire there started by homeless people a few years back. Anyway, I remember that K-Mart store from my childhood. The little merry-go-round outside, the ham sandwiches from the in-store deli, and a killer electronics section with Atari and Mattel kiosks. Great place.
  10. 🔵 BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL! 🔵
  11. I meant the sit down style cabinets. But I do remember the Pac Man and Defender ones. I remember the sound effects were really great.
  12. That's really cool. Imagine a little mini arcade full of these. Star Wars, Pole Position. What else?
  13. 🔥HOT Deal Alert! 🔥 Atari 400 mini again...this time from Atari themselves.  For $90.

  14. I know this one is silly...Data instead of Doom. But can you imagine how much fun this game would be? Star Trek weapons and enemies, while Data makes smart-@ss comments? Definitely would buy.
  15. In regards to our recent high score challenge for Genesis Ghosts and Goblins.
  16. I still haven't even removed the cellophane wrap from my 7800+ yet. But I do appreciate that link. It is on my list.
  17. Interesting timing! I just hired a bi-monthly lawn service to help me out. First time I've done that. When my wife was sick, I kind of lost track of the yard mostly. I mowed, but the beds are all full of weeds and it looks really bad. Hopefully, these guys will help get that under control and take a load off me, as I'm still pretty fatigued from the prescription I've been on for a few months. So yes, I make the same face as you when I look at our yard. The first visit will be tomorrow.

    FS: PS ONE

    Great deal for a really nice system. You don't realize how compact these are until you see one in person. Also, they made an attachable screen for these that make it a very cool portable system. I'd be all over this if I didn't already have one.
  19. I was six, and yes, my parents took us kids to see it in the theater! I'm sure they had zero idea what they were getting into. If I recall, that was the first and LAST time my mom ever when to a movie theater with us. 🙂 Anyway, I liked the movie a lot. That head jump-scare part made me jump. Otherwise, no lasting impact to six-year-old me. However, I think my older brother was very freaked out for a long time about going into any water.
