Nice! That Neo-Geo Pocket was a definitely a jaw dropper.

Sure! Texas.

Part 2 for those interested.

Stryper!

I'm not familiar with Wii Sports. Never purchased a Wii new. I'm trying to think of my favorite pack-in game, and I guess it would be Tetris for the GameBoy. It was just perfect, and the timing was too.

Wow, I had forgotten that the 5200 went with Super Breakout as a pack-in. I think that beats Las Vegas Poker&Blackjack for worst pack-in game ever. What were they thinking? "Lets put in a game that could be played on a calculator as our pack in to really show people what the 5200 can do!" Intellivision deserves its own share of scorn for a poker game, but it was fun for my dad, I guess lol Heck, Combat was a poor choice for the Atari 2600 if you ask me....they needed something an only child could enjoy. Thankfully my Dad was smart enough to get us Space Battle when we got our Intellivision! As much as I love the Atari generation of gaming, NES and later gens did a MUCH better job with pack in games.

Since you are a fan of Christian music, here's me and the Mrs with someone you might recognize. Also the shirt is a (somewhat) obscure Christian prog band.

I like Altered Beast, I never knew it was considered bad. I loved the arcade version, and the Genesis port was pretty close. It was my pack-in game as well.

Too bad we'll probably never hear his parody of "Live and Let Die", "Chicken Pot Pie". Paul said no to that one because he's a vegetarian (or vegan).

This is a thing of beauty. If you ever get a chance to see Al live, DO IT! It's just an incredibly fun show. Very talented band too.

Intellivision wins for me. The boss level is just too awesome! Edited to add: I haven't played a bad version of Demon Attack. All ports of that game seem to be fun.

Thanks for the trade jmjustin6! Always a pleasure, sir.

Awesome grabs, Brian! Hope you and your daughter enjoy Fix-it-Felix!

Nah, we're square brother! TB was passed on to me and now its in your hands to enjoy.

I worked at C-stores off and on in the late 80s early 90s. Part of me wants to strangle people just hanging out in the store because 2:30 is when I'd be getting some work done! This place had a couple of cashiers working so it wasn't that bad, plus I'm sure being close to Disney World they are prepared for interesting customers.

Looks promising for sure. Glad Richard got to be a part of it before he passed, and it's cool that people will get to see this.

Nah. I doubt it.

Let me know if you enjoy that homebrew! I know its 17/20 and signed! Great stuff, RickR! I'm sure you put some neat stuff back in too!

$360 to $1800 is quite a markup.

I still love ST2, but I do have one example. Dark Crystal was a favorite of mine growing up, and then Jennifer and I watched it together and I didn't get nearly as much out of it. The "muppets" and effects are still decent enough, but its really choppy and so-so story wise. I should warn that the original is a lot different than the JC version (of the Thing). The first one is very much a sci-fi suspense movie, while JC puts the horror spin on it. I actually hear that JC's version is more true to the novella.

I'd check it out. Netflix has done a pretty good job with its originals. I'm still trying to get caught up on Voltron.

The THING (from another world) (1951) Pretty remarkable film if you ask me!

I loved the Fog. I had it on video disc and watched it a lot as a kid. Adrienne Barbeau...hubba hubba!

I loved it too, Rick. I saw this version before the original, but as an adult I liked the original even better. Still, this was a very well made re-make in my opinion.
