I also don't own a steam deck, but I think it's a really cool concept.
But on the topic of emulation, I've tried so many different types of stand-alone emulation and end up disappointed in some way most of the time. Batocera Linux is my latest attempt, and it seems to be working OK. But little issues like how 7800 emulation puts the reset button as the triangle on a PS3/xbox controller by default. So you're having a great round, and go to hit hyperspace except you hit the wrong button and OH %!#$&! RESET! Exact same issue on PS1 Classic mod.

Janeway should’ve been dragged in and courtmartialed for what she did with Tuvix. Abominable. They could’ve Thomas Rikered Tuvix and returned the other back to Tuvok and Neelix. Nobody thought to take a deep breath, do some research and figure this out? Just unreal. Says a great deal imo about Voyager that Tuvix became one of the top episodes for reasons other than what the writers intended.
She also could have used the technology to create some new crew members to replenish those they lost. After asking for volunteers of course.

Saru is a great character -- probably my favorite in Discovery. Played by the great Doug Jones.

I had it set up a while ago to play ST games (after I sold my real 1040STFM). But I have a different PC now. It took me a bit of time to get MESS up and running for 7800 "Beef Drop" challenge yesterday.
I'll take a quick look later this week for the ST again. It isn't too hard. You'll need whatever BIOS files are necessary, and there are full archives of those on archive.org.

MESS would. You can use mappings for ANY type of controller.

I can't think of any songs off the top of my head, but I do have a food dish -- chicken fried steak.
This was my go-to breakfast for who knows how long until my eldest son was old enough to share my food. Every time we went out for breakfast, that's what he wanted, so I ended up ordering it to share it with him since he wasn't big enough to eat it on his own. After a while, I got tired of it and ordered something else for myself. We took home the leftover chicken fried steak. My eldest is now 23, and I have yet to order chicken fried steak breakfast for myself.
Sorry for derailing this music thread with a food response 😂
This reminds me of when I first got married. My wife and I were saving to buy a house. We lived right next to a Fred Meyer store. So we'd buy the 3 packs of Fred Meyer take/bake pizzas because they were cheap. NOT like a Papa Murphy or what you might expect now, these were essentially about the same quality of frozen pizza only refrigerated. Anyway, once we finally bought a house....NEVER AGAIN with those lousy cardboard pizzas! 🙂

I may have misread -- here's one I'll NEVER get tired of. 🙂

I think Tuvix needs a hug more than any of us.

I'll probably go with the Irem arcade collection
YES! This is a great one. For whatever reason, I always thought Moon Patrol was an Atari game. But nope. Irem. It is still a lot of fun!

Hopefully not much longer! My order was on 7/19 I think...so I'm not sure what the order of shipments really is.

NICE collection! Let me know what you are going to open and try next. Maybe we can do another "Let's All Play" with whatever you choose. Even if it's the Data East collection you've already started.
I've been going back and forth on whether to get an EXP. While I would like the ability to update my games, I find it wasteful to not simply enjoy the original Evercade handheld that I have.

I recommend playing Star Castle with a Starplex controller if you have or can purchase one. It’s my go-to for this game, Asteroids and any side-to-side shooter like Space Invaders. I have several in my collection, but this loose one was my first purchase ~2008 and still works as designed to this day.
Oooh, good idea. I hadn't thought of that. I have a Retrogameboys button controller for Asteroids. I'll try that. Thanks.

I will!
Draconian is probably my favorite homebrew so far. Astoundingly good. I love the speech. It's easy to find a difficulty level that I can deal with, plus it ramps up very fairly.
Star Castle is also really good, but boy is it difficult.

Wow! That would be something incredible to see in person

AtariAge order finally arrived!
I like to imagine what would have happened if these two had been released by Atari back in the day. I think we all would have lost our collective minds.- TrekMD, Sabertooth, socrates63 and 1 other

This one is a bit lowbrow from my usual postings...but too funny. I had to post.
