  1. Long awaited Atari Flashback Portable is here

    in Atari Dedicated Consoles

    Greenween gave me the greatest surprise by sending me one of these.  And I absolutely love it.  The more I use it, the more I love it.  THANK YOU GREENWEEN!!

     

    It's kind of funny how I completely skip and ignore the built in games.  Has anyone tried those?  Phooey, back to the SD cart full of goodness!

    The Frogger port is excellent.  Actually all the built in games worked great, I played some Video Pinball.

    I absolutely love mine.  

     

    My Sega handheld is great too, but some Sega games just don't work as a portable game.   The Atari is perfect for it.   Simple, fun games you can play on the go.  

    By the way, the entire ROM collection from AA takes up a little less than 10mb.    I'm using a 128mb SD card and its perfect.

  5. Must Own Intellivision Games?

    Thanks for all the recommendations guys! I went to one of my favorite local retro shops and dropped about 30 bucks today on a bunch of loose carts:

     

    Demon Attack

    Atlantis

    Beauty and the Beast

    Locomotion

    AD&D (Cloudy Mountain)

    AD&D Treasure of Tarmin

    Vectron

    Locomotion

    Night Stalker

    Burgertime

    Ladybug

    Lock N Chase

    Mission X

    Bump N Jump

     

    Treasure of Tarmin and Burgertime were both about 6 bucks, and Beauty and the Beast was 5 bucks, Demon Attack was 2, Atlantis was 3, and the rest were all a buck a piece! I'm going to post pics of my collection as it stands now in another thread.

    You may want to just print out a copy of the overlay for Tarmin.   I've played that one for hours and hours and I still have to look at my overlay sometimes.   You got a nice lot for your buck man, congrats and enjoy!

     

    Ladybug for a buck was a steal, that one is 15ish usually. 

  8. Thrift Store Finds

    in Price Check!

    Just found out i cant play 3DS games on it though. My plan was to play smash Bros. Oh well. I can play GBA games on it so thats a big plus

    Yeah the DS Lite is GBA and DS, but there aren't THAT many great ones on 3DS in my opinion, GBA is the library to have.    15 bucks boxed is a SUPER deal too!

  15. Rogue One - A Star Wars Story

    in Television & Movies

    Spoilers allowed.  Be warned

     

    I just saw the movie, and I absolutely LOVED it.  I'm dying to know what you all thought.

     

    I loved how they set up the story for "A New Hope".  I loved K2.  I loved the acting.  I loved the use of old footage (how the F did they do that with Tarkin?)  I loved that they had the nuts to end it the way they did.  Vader at the end...chills.  And the very end.....extra double chills.  WOW. 

     

    Disney can milk this cow for as long as they want...if they keep the quality this high, we are all in for years of treats.

    Yeah, the stuff with Cushing was amazing wasn't it.  Graphically they are getting better at playing with that stuff like they did in Tron: Legacy with Jeff Bridges.

     

    K-2SO is great, perfect empire snark.

     

    It's a little choppy at first, but when it kicks in its great.

  17. Forbidden Forest - C64 games could be scary!

    in Commodore

    Posted · Edited by Rowsdower70

    One of the games we would frequently play with my buddies with Forbidden Forest, and to this day I consider it a remarkable game.



    The C-64 with its legendary SID chip could produce some amazing music, and one of the keys of Forbidden Forest was its creepy musical score (written by the programmer Paul Norman).   This, along with the ambient graphics (good but not great, however extremely effective) made for a very tense and enjoyable experience.

    The graphics had a nice parallax scrolling effect, the monsters were all very creepy (with their own theme music), and the gameplay was solid (although maybe a bit frustrating at times with aiming).

    I remember completing the game by beating the Demogorgon was very satisfying

    This game had a sequel, but I found it to be sub-par compared to the original. 

    Any other fans of this game?
