  1. For only $7.50! They also had a Super Mario and a Sonic shirt at my local Walmart...but I decided to only buy these two.
  2. My older son loves those Arkham games. Frankly, I'm a little intimidated by a system that requires me to set up an account.
  3. Completely understand -- no promises. Here are the manuals I need: 7800: Choplifter Donkey Kong Fight Night Karateka Summer Games Touchdown Football Winter Games 2600 Bridge California Games Winter Games Thanks! Looking forward to getting El Boxo de Junko.
  4. At this moment, I'm wearing a Casio atomic watch. It's usually that or an old Lorus Mickey watch I bought at Disneyland in 1987. One of these days, I may have to check out these supposed "smart" watches.
  5. My kids have a PS4 that I've never touched. Why? I have too many older systems and games on my list to get to. Time is limited. It's funny too...both kids are in college now and the PS4 (and PS3 -- also never touched except to watch Netflix) sit unused upstairs. One of these days when I'm not working 50 hours per week, I'll get to it I hope.
  6. I assume no. I've never tried it. But I believe the light guns require a scan beam for proper timing, and these don't have that.
  7. It really is a fun game. I've been playing that and "Strategy X" this evening. Both are really fun. You should share a picture of your hack. Sounds pretty cool.
  8. That TV I purchased turned out to have a 15" screen. The other LCD models I have are 13". So straight into the gaming cabinet it goes. Works great. What I have is an armoire that I have several gaming systems in. I can play, and then close it up when not in use. A great space saver.
  9. What's not to love? I still have HO and N gauge sets. Those tiny ones look really cool.
  10. Add to the list: King's Quest. I've started that and got stuck playing it. I'll get to the ones on your guys' list soon. I can't remember if King's Quest on PC used the mouse like the Amiga version does. Wasn't it text commands only? In any case, the Amiga version is great fun.
  11. Hogan's Alley as a high score squad is a great idea!
  12. Hogan's Alley and Duck Hunt are great lightgun games! I have a TV/VCR combo very similar to that one...the only CRT I still own. Happy 50th! My 50th is also this year. I'm looking forward to asking for senior discounts because I'm a cheap sob.

    Dauber's Want List

    Got a Vectrex, eh? Nice! I don't know how you feel about multicarts, but the Sean Kelly cart is a must in my opinion. I recently acquired a second Vectrex. I was thinking about selling one, but I can't let go of the controller. I wonder if anyone would be interested in a Vectrex without a controller?
  14. I didn't have an NES at the time, but a friend did...and this game was incredible. My main feeling was a little bit of sadness. Why? Because ask most people my age their favorite 2600 game, and over 50% will say "Adventure". But Atari NEVER made another game like it. Zelda was that game. Its roots are clearly seen in "Adventure". I always consider it the spiritual successor to Atari Adventure. So, sadness in Atari never realizing what they had and building on it -- expanding it -- into something great like Zelda and the Zelda series.
  15. We need more people to sign up just to see the next group image he comes up with!
  16. No idea. Reminds me of the book "Ready Player One" where we're supposed to believe a kid can get a perfect score on Pac Man (that means getting every ghost with every power pellet and every fruit on every level). Yeah, right.
  17. Completely agree. It's a great plug and play, but the case is really hard to use. Best way to use it in my opinion, is to place it on the floor and sit criss-cross-applesauce.
  18. A bunch of SNES and NES games for trade (or sale):
  19. Is it ok to make requests? I really like the ArKay model videos. It's obvious that he's an absolute expert at putting them together and especially at painting. Incredible work. Me? I can't make a model without making a mess. It would be really neat to have an expert like ArKay put together a beginners guide to model building. How much glue to use, and how to apply. Any tips to get some good results for a a beginner.
  20. I think it's a great idea. Follow your instincts -- your passion will make it great. Survey filled out.
  21. That's right. If you get the brightness dial and viewing angle just right, it's fine.
  22. Just the sound board of a Game Gear, and it's really tough. Getting the old components off cleanly is really hard because everything is so small and close together.
