    Sounds like the Chameleon 64.  You can use that as a upgrade to a real C64 or a C64 clone by itself.
    How are you dealing with the shortages going on?

    Selling off my game collection rarely has gotten me anything.  Seems like you have to have a popular item at the right time.
    ..or be Jaguar related.  Had to sell my Skunkboard to make rent once. 😕

    Facebook marketplace works fine IMO.  Just specify in your ad that you accept cash payments only.  "Block" anyone who offers you anything you don't really want to deal with.  That way they won't bother you again. 
    I also like Craigslist a lot. 
    Ebay works too if you are willing to ship.  The fees are high, but you can sell things for a much higher price here.  So it ends up working in our favor IMO.

    slobu reacted to socrates63 in Visiting Thailand   
    My wife and I left Seattle on Monday and arrived in Chiang Mai very late Tuesday night with a short layover in Inchon Korea. We are one third of the way into our trip and are heading off to Bangkok tomorrow. This is our first time visiting this wonderful country. This trip uses up the last of my airline credit that I received when I couldn’t use my ticket to go to Japan last summer.
    As advertised, the food is amazing and amazingly cheap (to us anyway). My favorite so far has been the street food stand where we had our first meal here. The food was great, and for the two of us, it cost 110 baht (35 baht to US$1).

    I didn't understand the nomination process this year.  That factored in to my Atari 2600 titles not getting voted on.  A couple might have gotten disqualified due to technicalities.
    I am grumpy about it due to my own failings and lack of traction in the scene.  But, feelings pass.  Actions last.

    I need to order it.  I love dragons, so this game is a must-have for me.

    Hey there! I’m Gemintronic the developer of those two games. Thought they were destined to be cart only so I was surprised when I discovered they were on the VCS storefront! Hopefully more actual 2600 games get the same treatment. All the code, graphics and sound were done my me. Some screens in the hardest difficulty of Retro Game Quest are procedurally laid out. However, all the room layouts in C@tacombs of Chaos are procedurally generated. A little ashamed that some aspects of our games require reading the manual. Pick up and play is a hallmark of pre-Nintendo gaming. In Retro Game Quest when the timer turns purple you can press FIRE to fly through walls. Also, the red bar at the lower left hand side in C@tacombs is your life. If you pick up a potion you may press FIRE heal your HP. I reached out on Facebork if you have more questions 🙂

    I subscribed to your channel so I can catch yer videos.  Hopefully I can provide some useful input and see if you're interested in checking out any new games I cook up.
    Usually I collaborate with John Hancock on games.  He gives me a theme to go for and I whittle it down into something that I can actually program 🙂  He brings carts to expos and charities.  I self publish doing as much production myself as possible.  These last three releases are unusual in that he bought the publishing rights outright.  So, that's why you see them on multiple platforms (physical cart, digital download and VCS).

    Awesome! Nice to meet you. I'm guessing you worked with John so he could publish your games? I didn't know who made them or when so I wasn't able to report on that on my Atari news show, "That Atari Show" & "Atari Newsline." If you'd ever like to come on the show to discuss these games and talk about how you worked with John I would love to hear it. Great games and thank you!

    Thank you, Sir!  That means something from a connoisseur of retro gaming like yourself 🙂
    I think 8 Bit Milli did good with his first published 2600 title.  Usually he does Coleco stuff. 
    Got nothing but positive feedback on the game itself.  Though, since Zero Page homebrew reads the manual as they play, there was some anxiousness on my part during their stream 🙂

    My wife and I enjoy PICARD having been big Star Trek TNG fans, we've yet to watch any this season only because we have a long list of shows and movies in our viewing line up, likely we will wait until all episodes have aired and I will collect them all at once and add it to our weekly viewing at some point. I was intrigued by the trailers and defintiely look forward while also not reading too much of this thread. IN THE MEANTIME however 😁
