Pardon the mess, but today I've quadrupled my home-office knick knack display capabilities by installing these two shelves.

I pre-ordered the physical release for the Nintendo Switch when it came out. I haven't had a chance to play it. What have you played on it?
-
Mostly, it's fun to read and watch all the history bits.
The coin op games are a ton of fun. There's some obscure stuff on there. But the real prize is Tempest with the VCS spinner. It's a lot of fun to play that way.
-
There's an unprecedented heat-wave here. I've had to move my collection out of the attic. It's way too hot in there for this stuff. Future plans include selling some of this stuff off and moving the rest into the garage (which is far more climate-controlled).

At least you had some foresight and moved your games before it was too late

I have a plan formulated to move garage stuff up into the attic and my collection into the garage. It will take some time, and that's a lot of carrying/stairs. But it's a plan. And I already have a pile of garage stuff to ditch.

Recent pickups.
I've been wanting Colecovision "One on One" for a long time. It's the crappiest version of one of my favorite games.
The Lynx SD cart is just plain awesome.

Hey @HDN, the record player is out. I know you're a McCartney fan, and here's the one actual vinyl record of his that we have.

Funny that you mention this now, as I just turned on a McCartney song for the first time in a while.
I do miss my record player; I've had to put it away for a while to make room for all the Christmas decorating. Your's seems to be of a much-higher quality!
There are a few good songs on that album, "Coming Up" is one, but its generally regarded as one of his weaker albums. I don't think I've listened to that album in its entirety. Then again, they said that McCartney 1 wasn't great, and I rather enjoyed that one. That one celebrated its fiftieth anniversary this year. So, you do you. Don't assume that something is going to be bad because of its reputation. For instance, 2600 Pac-Man. I love that game! Who knows, you might like McCartney II after all (or maybe not).
I think I'll have to give that one a listen at some point. Perhaps I'll enjoy it.
And also, I see "2600 Space Invaders: The Album"! I believe that one's "Don't Look Back"? I don't listen to Boston.
-
This reminds me that I have "The Amazing Adventures of Pac-Man" on vinyl on display in my office. Time to fire that one up.
Honestly, I don't think I've listened to McCartney 2 all the way through. Not my cup of tea.
Our record player has a USB connector, so you could theoretically record digital copies of records. I have never tried that though.
Now THESE ones I think are awesome:

TUESDAY NIGHT CHAT!
I will be in the chat tonight (around 7:15pm Pacific). My goal is to try a few rounds of emulated Cybermorph for the high score challenge. Join me if you'd like to see how that goes. Maybe you need guidance on setting up an emulator. Maybe offer me some tips on the game. Or whatever you'd like to chat about.

It was a beautiful day for a trip to the beach on Halloween. Such nice weather for the end of October. You might recognize this particular rock from the movie "The Goonies".
