Atari 5200 Guy

I do believe the Jaguar has more secrets than Santa's bag of goodies.  Always cool to see more stuff turn up about the console's history.
 
It amazes me how the Jaguar and the 7800 were both programmed on ST computers.  I wonder what Atari would have used for the 7800 if it remained under Warner's ownership?  I don't think the ST would have been thought about nor exist.

Question for anyone that may know.  What are the dimensions of the profile cover photo?  I know the size limit is 511MB.  I need the X and Y limits, please.  Thank you!
 
 

Well about 3 week ago inwas told that the game shop i frequent was closing at the end of august. They said i was able to get some signs and boxes from them for pretty cheap. Im pretty happy with what i got buy im sad that i no longer have a game shop to go to anymore. This one was about 5 min away from me and the next one is over 45 min away.

That Jungle Green N64 is extremely rare.  Hang on to it.  We have the grape one.  Those are really cool.  Controller looks to be in great shape.

Yes!!  Chat is back.
As for the issues I mentioned...was just small things I noticed.  Web design college training did teach how to spot issues if nothing more.  So far every time I have visited the site it has been using a secure link.  The Thrift Store thread corrected itself after I posted.

I have to admit that for a pack-in game it was one of the better games for the 7800.  It was also the reason I wanted a 7800 when I seen the box on the store displays.  Lots of 7800 memories brought up with this game alone.

Wow!  Cindy Morgan!!  She made it back into the real world?  LOL.  Just kidding.  Cool to see that she was there.
 
And, Tempest 2000!!!  I'd be there just for that!  And the Project Pinball booth looked interesting.  Make's me wish that Pinball Arcade could get back their licenses for Bally/Williams machines.  I've still got the ones I purchased but missed those I was going after.
 
Looked like an awesome event.

Speaking of Netflix...boo hiss at Nintendo for discontinuing video streaming services on the Wii after Jan. 31, 2019.  They could have at least kept that part going.  That's how I watched Netflix on my old CRT was with a Wii.  I know things can't always last forever but they could have kept that part.

Not sure if this belongs here or not but I just recently discovered an online TV service that is actually free...and decent.
 
Pluto TV!

I've been watching it on my Android tablet but I think they have other ways to watch.  Not sure if it's on Apple or not.  
 
Been watching a channel called the "Asylum" and they played an airplane movie a while back which I already forgot the name of.  A commercial airliner goes through a storm to be taken back to WWI times.  Not great but not bad either.  
 
Just thought I would mention this for those who might be curious.

As long as his creations continue to entertain he will always be remembered.  Thank you for the memories and encouraging the imagination of this person's mind during childhood.  I don't know how many times I dressed up as Spiderman and pretending I could climb walls in the house when I wasn't allowed outside.  The comic books kept me reading at an early age.  You will be missed but I have a feeling your creations will live on for many generations to come.

R.I.P. Mr. Lee.

Stan Lee, the legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics whose fantabulous but flawed creations made him a real-life superhero to comic book lovers everywhere, has died. He was 95.

On his own and through his work with frequent artist-writer collaborators Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others, Lee catapulted Marvel from a tiny venture into the world's No. 1 publisher of comic books and, later, a multimedia giant.

Lee's fame and influence as the face and figurehead of Marvel, even in his nonagenarian years, remained considerable.

Stan, rest in peace.  You're sure to be remembered by many for the joy you brought to our lives with the universe of characters you created... Excelsior!
 

Sadly I never did get to meet him. He was in Atlanta at Dragon Con one year but that was the year I couldn't go and I heard the line to talk to him and get an autograph was 2 hours plus. Truly a great man and he will be missed but never forgotten. R.I.P.

Very sad.  But he had a good life and will be remembered for a long time.  R.I.P. 

Oh but the family did go live on youtube playing Tetris if you dare to watch it.

Improved my score a bit.  Made it to level 11, too!

65,177. I can't seem to keep it together at level 8 or 9, but I've been playing a lot on my PSP and 3DS, and I think I might do better at those higher speeds on actual hardware. 
 

Perhaps. Would like to have the NES ROMscanner but those things are very hard to come by. I believe they were only sold to stores selling NES games at the time. It was never commercially available. Bummer. The ROMScanner for a VCS would be cool, too.
