Tiny "Game Room" in Grand Hotel - Sunpeaks Resort. 
 
 

 
 
Better Late Than Never ! Last August 12 - 14- We went to Sunpeaks resort for the 7th Annual Sun Peaks Retro Concert Weekend. Upon checking in to the Grand Hotel  did my usual walking around and discovered this quiet and empty little arcade so I just had to do this quick video. I had forgotten all about it as I tend to do once we return from a trip and the excitement wears off. But I was just going through my playlist of various arcades I had filmed when it popped into my head "Hey wait a second, did I ever upload the little Game Room I discovered that weekend at Sunpeaks?" WELL NO I NEVER DID so here it is.  Sun Peaks Grand Hotel & Conference Centre https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Hotel_Review-g499150-d225458-Reviews-Sun_Peaks_Grand_Hotel_Conference_Centre-Sun_Peaks_British_Columbia.html 3240 Village Way, Sun Peaks, British Columbia V0E 5N0, Canada (Formerly Delta Sun Peaks Resort)

This was my review of GHOSTBLASTER HOMEBREW for Colecovision by Daniel Bienvenu. 
 
It was just my 50th video! 
 

 
Original Description
August 26, 2009
MY 50th VIDEO! I am proud to present as my 50th video upload a look at the great new homebrew game for COLECOVISION lovingly created by master programmer Daniel Bienvenu aka newcoleco. Find out more by visiting his channel or blog (links below) and thanks for another great title we can enjoy on our beloved Colecovision's!   Newcoleco/Ghostblaster links: Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/newcoleco

Thanks much appreciated. One thing I love about this forum is the special vibe and feeling of "community" no other site gives me. 
 
With that I would like to show THESE videos I just came across and want to share, now I did NOT create this particular video but it is by a user Daniel Bienvenu aka Newcoleco a amazing ColecoVision Homebrew programmer. We do not communicate much these days but back when I started on Youtube and he was more active on youtube and forums in general he often shouted me out, I reviewed one of his games and we would shout each other out back and forth. He certainly made some surprise videos that always amazed me he took the time to do just as a favour to me. 
 
Flashback 2009, my favourite times on Youtube and back when it felt more like a "community" making friends etc. I was even part of Newcoleco's "Memorable Youtube Moments of 2009", this was early on before I had many subscribers yet people who appreciated my humble videos reached out. 
 
!!!!! NOTE THE VIDEO DOES NOT ALLOW EMBEDDING SO ONCE YOU CLICK IT YOU WILL SEE THE OPTION TO WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In THIS one he created an ANIMATION from my Tag Response Blooper Video (The phone rang to deliver a package as I was filming) to me this was one of the nicest and collect things a fellow youtuber ever created for me. He spent 10 hours on it! Notice the Colecovision to the right and the "phone" I pick up is the controller.

Absolutely nails it.  Also are these "journalist" actually playing on real hardware?  I can understand going out and getting your hands on a NES or Genesis, but to find a real Jaguar in the wild... good luck.  And even when you do, you'er gonna pay big bucks. So are they playing on an emulator?  How good is the emulator?  Are you using the game pad?  Or are you just reciting what AVGN said 10 years ago?  Context is key in reviewing these games, I feel like we do a good job at that.

And let's not forget that killer quote from DeLorean. She nails it:
 
 

HAHA thanks BTB! Let's kick it off for everybody with this little gem:

Thanks for getting the word out, more people need to tune into the Jag Bar.

Its been a while since I played this one, I was pretty shocked at how good it looked.  This was a very special title that came only to the Jaguar and what a showpiece it was.
 
Can you imagine if all their titles were like this?

System seller... I think so! AVP - Get some!!

If you dont already have this game for the gameboy advance, its pretty awesome.  has the arcade tron game in it and Discs of Tron
 

I am glad to see a modern company giving the 2600 attention. I am not big on AtGames in general though. I have a Atari Flashback 2 (by Curt Vendel /Legacy Engineering), the only one but I have none of the rest because from 3 onward they are atgames product and I have no interest personally. To play mobile versions of 2600 titles I prefer to use my JXD s7800b, or even my GPD Q88+ with an atari emulator. I like this much better as I have the option of pretty much ANY 2600 game that has a ROM available but even more important to me especially since my eyes are getting worse is the nice, bright 7" IPS LCD! That is my main problem with so many of these dedicated handhelds for gaming using 5" or even smaller screens. so for all my 8-16bit and Pre-NES gaming I prefer this unit, there are smaller / cheaper options as well but to me an Android device with emulators and built in controls beats any of these AtGames handhelds etc. You might not get the "official" licensed branding but really companies like Atari are nothing more than a license anyway. I will take the bigger screen and option to play entire libraries any day! Maybe I will do a counter video "Why I've no interest in Atgames 2600 Portable!  !" Here are stock pictures of the JXD s7800b as an example. Now I know some will say "But Rob that is hardley as portable!" I suppose but I really don't game "on the go" and really is anyone REALLY using these on the go? Even if I wanted to I got no problem carrying around these devices  I'd rather spare my eyes the eyestrain.
