RickR got a reaction from socrates63 in A quick review of the "Super Mario Bros Game & Watch". One of my kids got one as
Thank you for the kind words.
I feel like a lot of collectors are going to keep this thing in the original box anyway, which makes the kickstand even more pointless. I do get that it's a feature missing that the original G&W had, but to me it's of no concern. Hey, I'm also glad they skipped the LCD screen from the original design too!

You got it. It's an Intellivision multi-cart.
I'm planning on getting a CRT out to try this out sometime soon. Right now, our dining room table has a new computer for my wife on it. Until we get time to get her VPN installed and swap it out with the old PC in the office, I'm on hold. After, I'll use that space to play some intellivision.

From what I know, it's like the Harmony cartridge but for the Intellivision. It lets you play rom files, so you can play homebrews and store the entire official Intellivision library on a single cartridge. I hear the Intellivision homebrew scene is quite vibrant. I missed out on the early batches and ordered this. Hopefully it'll come in 4-6 weeks.

Wonderful little review in your status update @RickR! Describing Super Mario Bros. as a "masterpiece" is just perfect. I'm glad to see they did a nice job with this. It's everything I would've wanted back then! Loved your final thought on the "no kickstand" comments. Some classic gamers feel like they have to always have a snarky comment or something to criticize or they're not getting their name out there or having something to say. Sometimes it's okay to just love something for what it is.

No, Rick! It was Fernie Sanders! He is staying inside for the winter so he doesn’t freeze over.
Argh. Too many puns today!

Your assignment is to write an essay comparing CV Donkey Kong vs. 5200 Super Breakout as pack-in games.
I'm kidding! No assignments! Enjoy your time off.

RickR got a reaction from socrates63 in Ho ho ho 🎅 🎄 We got our first snow ❄️ of the season! It looks like a few inches piled
I will find time to put that ROM file on my Genesis everdrive. I also need to pull out my copy of 2600 "Stella's Stocking".

No snow here. But we had heavy rain this week. And that rain and cloud cover brought our temp up the 50's.
That Genesis game looks like fun. Thank you for posting the link. Maybe we should set up a mini high score contest with that game for this week.

RickR got a reaction from socrates63 in Two of Nintendo’s most-hated systems finally meet. Wii U and Virtual Boy unite! This
Yes. I got one 15 years ago or so. It's one of my favorite systems. The 3D effect is really well done, and the graphics are a lot better than I expected. They also nailed the controller, which is very similar to the Gamecube controller.
They should have called it "3D Boy" instead of "Virtual Boy".

You got a Virtual Boy, @RickR? You da cool cat 👍😎 I've really enjoyed the 3D in 3DS games.

Not in 3d?
I have a real Virtual Boy, and it's the red graphics and working 3D that make it special. This game in particular needs the 3D to get the full effect of what they were trying to do. It's so cool when your eyes have to shift focus when jumping from front/back and vice versa. I'm going to guess that without 3D, the game is a lot easier and loses what makes it so unique.
