  1. Full credit to Muddyfunster over at the AtariAge forums. A demo version of Keystone Kapers for the Atari 7800! It looks awesome. https://atariage.com/forums/topic/326855-keystone-kapers-wip/
  2. It plays the standard looping sound as if the ball was hitting all kinds of bricks as the score rolls. In my case, I missed the ball almost immediately after hitting a low brick, so the score and sound kept going for a few seconds prior to my next serve.
  3. 1408 I got one of those weird bonuses you mentioned although I have no idea how.
  4. You guys find a place to post, and I'm ready to go. I had a NA beer for lunch that I hated 🙂
  5. Awesome. I've also been experimenting with non-alcoholic beer for lunch during work because I'm getting tired of the normal options.
  6. Fortuitous timing indeed. I just got a cache of different beers from a neighbor that moved and had to empty his fridge. I'm happy to post reviews here, but no videos.
  7. Cool. I appreciate you guys' ideas and recommendations.
  8. Again, thanks. I just ordered the newer model of kit and an extra sensor for the second door. This guy has a decent video showing how easy it is to install and use:
  9. $40! You just gave me a wonderful holiday gift. Thank you. I'm going to get one of these. Our current opener is a "Chamberlain/Lift Master" brand and it was replaced in 2007. I also see notes that the springs on the door were replaced in 2004. Yes, we've been here a while. We also have a smaller/single door that still has the original-to-the-house opener. It doesn't sound so hot, but it still works.
  10. I absolutely need one of those just for peace of mind. The issue is we have a perfectly fine opener now, albeit with no such bells or whistles.
  11. I need to get one of these types of garage door opener. I'm always afraid of leaving it open (or closing it and then having something cause it to re-open, like sunlight on a sensor or something dumb like that).
  12. Maybe I should turn the volume down. BONG! <Rick jumps and misses the ball>

    I took a lot more pictures. Probably close to 100 pics. The museum is a really cool place. That day I visited, it was mostly empty (maybe a dozen people). So I had plenty of room to take as many pics as I wanted (and also sneak in a few "touches" on the cars I really cared about -- Shhhh don't tell). I would definitely go back to this museum.

    That is weird for sure! I will tell you that the museum is set up for personal events. They have a room for that very purpose, and it was set up for a wedding reception when I was there. I imagine they'll put whatever cars you request in there (for a fee, of course). It looks very much like a marketing photo and maybe a few bucks got someone this type of access. My point being that the museum seems very accommodating to personal requests to bolster their revenue.
  15. This game is a lot of fun. Does anyone else jump when the bricks move down and it makes that sound?
  16. Get a Target Red Card (credit card) too if you shop at Target a lot. 5% off all purchases. It makes a huge difference on big ticket items.
  17. The best aspect of these challenges for me is that "sharing" of help and tips. It reminds me of those old days when friends would get together to play the latest game after school and help each other figure out how to get further along.
  18. The tips were helpful and the game is awesome. I want to spend more time with this game.
  19. I've still got one! You can also watch the movies in reverse, which is hilarious.
  20. +1 vote on highscore.com Such anger with the tartar sauce guy. Chill out with a McFlurry, dude.
  21. Looks like it was a beautiful day. It was really nice here today too. I spent most of the day outside.
