I miss the games like Pong, Joust, Space Invaders....

Emulation is a wonderful thing :)

Emulation is cool, but nothing beats playing them on their original platforms ;)

I used to own Nintendo 64 with Ogre Battle 64 well I traded that to get a ps2 cheaper. Sigh I miss the original even if I can use project 64 to emulate it.

Agreed :) I've had a MAME cabinet for the past few years, and it's great - but nothing can really recapture playing something like Gyruss in the original cabinet, in a smoky arcade, with Van Halen belting away in the background. Ah, memories...

Remember when Pinball was the only "videogame" and you had to go to the pizza joint or whatnot to be able to play it?

Back when Atari was awesome and not many people owned one because people thought it would burn out the color in a TV?

Yeah. Those were the days....especially due to the fact that none of these rocket scientists who ask "teach me to hack" were even a preconception.

It seems to me that games were originally meant for skill and now go downhill. Sure, some games are hard, but I haven't seen many that make you think.

Anyone else played Myst?

no, but may I suggest that you take some time to stroll down memory lane with a few of our "Seinor" members... Al, AST, Methuselah. ther're all about the same age, and all old enough to remember that




I know that one is gonna cost me a few beers. but it was worth it

[Ridirich]

I know, it makes ME feel old.

I hope it's either PCB or power supply issues and not the monitor... That's a fun game, and it'd be a shame to lose another vector to a dead screen.

The monitor is fine, but at the moment I am using it in an Astroids deluxe that I bought on saturday. The boards are the problem, and I just found out they are unsaveable, so I don't know what it's fate will be.

I think I may be able to save the astroids monitor, it don't think it's totaly dead.

I went a little nuts on saturday, bought the astroids (not working) for $75, a Spy Hunter (missing boards) for $40 and a Gauntlet:Dark Legacy (fried HD) for $225. Also picked up a Dance Maniax, getting that into the house wasn't fun!

Some people may think I'm nuts, but I think the home arcade is a lot better than a formal dining room/living room!

Marry me...please?

OK maybe not, but NICE collection nonetheless.

I currently have my mini game room proudly presenting
Marvel VS Capcom, FunHouse Pinball, and Spy Hunter - along with my billiards table.

I've run out of funding for more as of now, but as soon as I save up a couple grand, I'm gonna go to another auction and grab a bunch to play around with.

Hopefully I'll get an area 51 just to be able to aim 20 degrees to the left of target, and hit it dead on. Also want to get a few oldschool racers, any suggestions?

NES Open helps the classes go by...

Night Driver, Pole Position, TX-1. For modern stuff, GTi Club.

That takes me back to a simpler time...


I miss playing shining force 2, orignally for the genesis, then was on the sega smash pac vol1 disk, it was a very in depth rpg with an insane amount of charectors to use in your group.

Damn, when Sega Genesis came out, I was in highschool.

Try seeing PONG for TV being $250 for the console. Not even in color.
