Atari 5200 Guy

Wow.  I haven't seen this game since the 1990s.  It was nice to revisit it.

Yea, the Famicom, while basically an NES, actually uses a slightly different Power Supply than we do here in the USA.  That original power supply is only rated for 100 volts.  American standard power outlets provide 120 Volts.  You'll fry the adapter and the Famicom if you try using that.  
Power Supplies that will work with your Famicom are model 1 Genesis adapters.  I've even heard of some using a power supply from a Sega Master System.  So if you have any adapters that can power those then you could use those on that Famicom.  I'm jealous.  Nice Famicom!  I've been after one for years now.  Very nice.  Got any games for it?

Would love to play this on my GBA but I have an emulator setup now.  Thought about ordering it since it is a cheap game but shipping costs more than the game.  Count me in!  I haven't played this game since I owned an original GB about '88 - '89.  I had this game but it was the least played.  I played Castlevania and SML more.  I think this is the only console I played a lot of Tennis on as well.

Here's my attempt.  3,879.

Unfortunately it's emulated   The good part is that I got my Sony Mavica FD camera working again.  It wasn't wanting to read disks.  Taking that thing apart was a nightmare as I didn't want to ruin it.  Everything inside was layered like a sandwich.  And seemed like a million micro screws.  
Wow.  I just noticed I have an Atari I/O anniversary coming up.  Has it been 4 years already? 
 

This game is fun.  I like it when the bricks scroll.

1987...just two years away from when Alleyway was released!  Nice score, AC!

Yea.  I can't come close to the score I made.

Turtles in Time, if I'm not mistaken, has a SNES-ized version of Pizza Power from the Turtles album.  I think it's that one.  And you can't go wrong with SF II.  I prefer the Genesis' SF II CE myself but that's just me.  SNES is in great shape, too!  Nice find.

I had a Virtual Boy once and actually enjoyed it.  Mario Tennis and Galactic Pinball were my favorites.  I had Wario Woods or World (??), too.  I think I found Red Alert on clearance.  Actually, I remember getting all of it on clearance for $30 from Toys R Us I believe in Arkansas when I visited my mother decades ago.  I wish I still had one.  I loved it.

Well, we got snow the night before Christmas...I mean HALLOWEEN!  Geez, man.  Temperatures were barely above freezing so my wife and I stayed home and played the Bloody Harvest event in Borderlands 3 which ends sometime next week.  The "rewards" we got were not that great, though.  Got maybe one or two legendary items one of which is a Torgue shotgun that fires lasers and rockets simultaneously.  That was probably the best reward during the event that my wife and I got but that came from an enemy, not a boss or loot crate.  It goes through the ammo quick, though.  Was taking down a boss with it, doing good, half way through the gun went "click" and my character said "Out of AMMO!"  D'OH!  Yea, got our butts stomped after that gun ran out of ammo and no vending machines were any where close by.
Hard to believe another Halloween has come and gone and Wal-Mart had their Christmas stuff setup like a week before.  Now we get set for lots of turkey and then a visit from the man in the big red suit.  Man the holidays come and go so fast these days.  

That GG box looks like it got some water damage.
@RickR Yep.  A 2600 with all the essentials.  Ms. Pac-Man, too!  That Super Mario Land looks like it's from a different region.  Japanese version?

Well, unfortunately, I could not dress up last night. But, I watched "Stranger Things" yesterday on Netflix with my girlfriend, who just moved in with me. She move in yesterday of all days. It was fun. Also, I played "Dragon's Lair" on my Jaguar CD, just as I said I would. Although I did not get very far in it, I enjoyed it. I have not played the game in a while. I have finished the game before and rescued Princess Daphne, but it has been years since then. I am pleased that my Jaguar CD works so well. I think that "Dragon's Lair" would be a great game to play for the Halloween season. It is about a haunted castle, after all. Thanks for letting me share.

There's a house down the street from us that puts on a heck of a display at Christmas time and this year they are doing the same thing for Halloween.  Everything is in sync with music which they broadcast over an unused radio station.  So my wife and I might go and check that out.  Dress up?  Not sure.  Where we live trick and treating is considered soliciting so we don't get trick or treaters.  Not entirely sure what else we'll do.

Now that's funny.  

kinda catchy, eh?  Maybe I should have told my wife this when I met her.  Take me for a 10-day trial, get your money back guarantee.    Just kidding.  10 days have turned into 10 years.

I first discovered this song shortly after Mom passed.  I had moved in with my Grandmother and was cleaning out and remodeling her old small workshop that once belonged to my great grandpa.  There was an old stack of old vinyl albums with most of them without any sleeves.  I asked her about them and she responded that they were mine handed down from my Dad when he passed...they were just forgot about.  So I went through them.  This one was on an old K-Tel album.  So, I setup an all in one stereo, you know the ones that had a record player, 8-track, AM/FM, and played the record while I finished up the workshop.  This song was on it and became one of my favorites.  There were a bunch of others that were good, too, but this one stuck with me.  A real toe tapper.  I kept the radio in the workshop and added florescent lighting.  I could see!  Better than a single light bulb stuck in a corner that shocked you every time the chain was pulled.  I'll have to see if I can find those other songs that were on there I liked.

I would but I'm strapped.  The most I could do is flood my YouTube with new videos.  Each video has a link below them to help StormSurge reach his goal.
