    RickR got a reaction from Lost Dragon in Nintendo Announces the Mini-NES, w/ 30 Classic Games   
    That's exactly right.  There was one recently that really made my blood boil.  "Everything you learned in school was wrong!  Jupiter does NOT orbit the Sun."  All this sensationalism because the gravitational midpoint of Jupiter and the Sun falls outside of the Sun.  An insult to everyone's intelligence.  And there is nothing we can do to stop the dumbing down of the country.

    Because real journalism is now a rare thing.  Doing a little research, spending the proper time to give accurate facts....all no longer done very much.

    Here is the actual article that links to, from WGN TV. It discusses the same Mini-NES with 30 games built in. The complete first sentence reads "Fresh off the success of Pokemon GO, Nintendo is launching another retro gaming product for the holiday shopping season - a mini Nintendo Entertainment System with 30 classic games built in!" Why "OMG Facts" used a different picture I don't know.

    OH MAN!  I ended a game with a score in the 160k range...but ended up pressing the button and erased the score!  Oh well.  I did manage to do THIS:

    Weird thing about this heavy sixer...it plays on channel 2 only.  No switch.  No channel 3.

    "Fresh off the success of Pokemon Go" leads me to be skeptical.  They have nothing to do with Pokemon Go, do they?  Licensing only.

    148493.  HOLY CRAP!  You were right.  It gets insane after 100k.  I switched over to a real 2600.
