Congrats!

Awesome!

Congrats man!

It's hard not to say Opie, that's such an iconic role. Happy Days is nearly as iconic, as is American Graffiti. I've really enjoyed Ron Howard as a film maker. My "favorite" role honestly has to be as the narrator on Arrested Development as the show would not be what it was without it.

Oooh, Arrested Development narrator is a great one that I didn't think of!  Nice. 

My favorite Ron Howard role is probably Richard Cunningham from "Happy Days." Opie Taylor is a close second. I have never seen all of "American Graffiti," so I have no opinion about that one.

I don't know what's more blasphemous, it being a Take-n-Bake pizza or the pineapple. Jk.😉

Still coming back to this and thinking this is the perfect night 🕹️🍕

WOW I had no idea! THANK YOU @RickR! The Master System and Game Gear are very similar - can the Genesis Everdrive run Game Gear games also? Can you run Game Gear games on a Master System Everdrive?

Wow, thanks, Rick! I had been thinking of picking up a SMS console, but I will put away that idea. And it sounds like I don’t even need a Powerbase—nice!

I do not know about the Game Gear games, but it is worth trying. 

Nice. I never played this one. 

I haven't either.  But I have quickly learned that Datasoft must have been one of the better third party developers.  Truth be told it is probably because of them some of the 5200 games were even made.

I've been playing more Zorro, and it is an interesting game.  It kind of reminds me of "Bruce Lee" in visual style, but it's definitely not as good.  It's more of a puzzle solving game, which is fine.  But there are issues:

• The music repeats over and over and over.  It will get on your nerves. 
• Figuring out what to do is not very obvious.  I had to refer to on-line guides.  How the heck could any casual gamer back then figure any of this out? 
• Lots and lots of backtracking.  Take this object over there, but you also need this other object, and since you can only carry one at a time....go back and get it.

Glad you got it working.. and just for the price of a battery!  EXCELLENT!

Funny how so many modern things are "broken" until people fix them. In previous generations our parents were able to fix a lot of household appliances and products, and if not they could always call "the TV / VCR repair man" or "The Maytag Man" etc.

I'm with you @Justin.  In a lot of cases, things now use integrated circuits and very "small" designs, making them hard to repair.  But that wasn't the case here.  The vacuum has a clearly marked battery compartment.  All that was needed was a screwdriver and set of pliers. 

I have a lot of these types of "fixed" items in my home just because I love fixing things.  It's fun for me and saves things from going to the landfill. 

The robo vacuum is fascinating.  I've never had one before.  It works a lot better than I thought it would.  It isn't just a sweeper, it actually does vacuum.  I'm sure everyone else already knows all this, but the part that intrigues me the most is how it goes until it's battery runs down and then somehow finds it's way back to the base station to recharge.  There must be a radio signal or something to get it back to the right spot.  I also really like how it goes into those spots that a normal vac can't reach easily, like under the bed. 

This is a really wonderful post @RickR I wish I had seen this on Thanksgiving 🦃

Well it applies EVERY day!  Still thankful. 

Good, positive perspective! 😎

Happy Birthday @CrossBow 🥳

Happy Birthday 🎂

Thank you! It was a very low key and relaxing one and that was how I wanted it. Took the day off from work and played some of the new games I picked up at PRGE.

Hopefully, no one took your mail! Theft can happen. I doubt it happened that way, though. :O)

Oh it gets more worrisome.  The status shows as "delivered" at 5:21pm yesterday, but no sign of the box.  I don't think it was stolen, but rather the mail person must have put it in the wrong box.  Hopefully, whichever neighbor got it will give it to me today.  Fingers crossed!

Saw the other post. Glad you got the GameDrive cartridge. That must have been nerve-wracking waiting for it. Happy for you. :O)

Cool Aquarius! That's not the most common thing to have! I hope you do well in your sale @RickR, good luck 🙂

@RickR That might make a cool blog entry one day, what is the Aquarius like? Does it feel that different from an Intellivision?

Maybe I will, that's a good idea.  But AFTER the sale :) 

Congrats! 

Congrats. BTW, Lakers Vs Celtics on the Genesis should've been Blazers Vs Pistons!

👊 BAAAAD BOYS BAD BOYS

Here here!!🍷

Peace and blessings to you also Rick, very thoughtful of you! ❄️

Same to you and yours Rick.

Very true!

Well put. That's actually true.

Very true indeed!

That's pretty exciting! Are you getting the VGA mod too?

Nope. May as well just play on an emulator if you want a bigger screen IMO. I think the VGA mod would be really worthwhile for those who make Lynx review videos.

The mod includes a complete re-cap job too.

Can't wait to see the results!

Happy New Year, Rick and all of the fine people of atari.io!

Happy New Year!

Happy new year!!

It says he hasn't logged in for 8 days. That's not like him. He did have a gameplay video yesterday, but he might've uploaded it a week ago and set it to publish yesterday. I hope he's just on vacation or something.

I didn't realize he was MIA. I sent him a PM last night but haven't heard from him.

He's a good guy. I hope all is well with him.

Nice! Have you got the tough ones?

No idea.

Cool! I have yet to see a Sears cart in real life.

We have considered adding it to our list after TNG.

I loved the original series. I hope you enjoy it too Rick!

The first episode is excellent. It's been a long time since I've seen it.

Awesome idea. I had eBay to this to me with Argos, kinda. The auction listed the item with a certain shipping amount, but then charged me 3+ bucks more in checkout. Seller refunded it.

I've done this before, and past buyers never even left positive feedback. Felt like a sucker kind of. But best to be honest in all aspects of life.

I left good feedback. I always leave feedback. I think most sellers do anyway.

Sure would like to say I try to keep my giving to taking ratio in the right place, no matter what my situation.

I give. I think.

You guys have the right idea. Trying to give is half the battle.

I'm not falling for the old banana in the tailpipe trick.

Too much Beverly Hills Cop?

Just watched this late last week and still love it! Eddie Murphy's laugh is ridiculous at times though haha

Mohawk and excessive neck jewelry?

GRRRRR!

I will be sure to slip you some knock out drops to get you on that plane !

I can dig it.

How much Doug could a Dig Doug Dig if a Dig Doug could Doug Dig?

42

Same here man!!

I lost that quest, I saw her do it on Fallon with the Roots all using child instruments.

Same here!!

You finally found CV One on One! I remembered you had been looking for that one forever. Now you can play inbred Sneetches basketball!

It's horrible!  I know the CV could do so much better than this.  WTH!  The horribleness makes me love it even more, though.
