    What version of GAME SHARK is mostly likely to work on a Playstation 2 used for PSX games?  I have CDX 3.3 and it doesn't work..

    Ugh... NO idea how to properly set up controls in Eternal Champions for the Sega CD using a keyboard (emulator is Kega Fusion).  I want to set up kick buttons for A S D (ABC on Sega pad) and punch buttons for Q W E (XYZ on Sega pad).  Any ideas?  I'll post this on a Sega forum as well.

      Oh jeez.. never mind.  I went into controls in the emulator and actually PULLED DOWN the tab for 3-button control pad to find.. drum roll.. 6-button control setup!  Once I mapped the controls to that the game responded correctly.  How about that sh*t!

    I hate how a dishwasher that normally does a great job just decides one day to basically take a crap on your dishes, no matter what dishwashing liquid/pod/rinse agent you use.

    1. retrorussell

      Thanks for the suggestions folks.  I almost never have this issue; I don't get spots ever, but once in a great while it just doesn't remove food chunks.  I make sure to rinse the dishes really well before putting them in.  An hour might not be long enough sometimes I guess.  I hope Cascade is one of the better pod brands; that's what I'm using.  I'll look at the video and link; thanks very much!

    Should we play Ward Zapper, Copper Command, or Wizard of Woz?

    Do people hump because it's called hump day or is it called hump day because people hump?

    Before Family Guy's "Blue Harvest", before Robot Chicken, before Spaceballs...there was the 1978 film "Hardware Wars"!

      @GoldLeader @Keatah @Steven Pendleton @ls650 Thanks for the suggestions!  I will make Blasteroids #20 on my top 20 list.

      That's cool!  I remember one year I went to a nickel arcade and my stepmom didn't give me any money for games (bitch) and an employee felt bad for me.  They gave me a buck worth of nickels!

      @GoldLeader Yeah, unfortunately I only do 20 per year of the 80s.  So.. I'm kind of debating between Blasteroids, Twin Cobra, Galaga 88, Black Tiger, Street Fighter, Dragon Spirit or APB for #20.  Though I like the first 2 best.

      @GoldLeader Thanks for the feedback!  Twin Cobra was a pretty popular shmup by Toaplan/Taito/Romstar.  Nice power ups and great music.  I'm doing a top 20 series of arcade games and I've got: Double Dragon, Contra, Operation Wolf, After Burner/II, Rastan, R-Type, Shinobi, Bionic Commando, Tecmo Bowl, Rainbow Islands, Darius, 1943, Karnov, Heavy Barrel, Alien Syndrome, Thunder Blade, Road Blasters, Pac-Mania and Xybots.  Then it's down to either Blasteroids or Twin Cobra.  Xenophobe almost made it but I didn't like it as much as other folks; same as Galaga 88, Black Tiger, Street Fighter, Dragon Spirit or APB.

    We lost my brother today. I’m devastated. He was (and is, and always be) my best friend. We were like two peas in a pod. I remember us sitting in front of a giant, wooden  Sylvania tv, and playing Atari Smurfs together, and him gleefully grabbing the second controller of the Intellivision, and deliberately killing my guy off in AD&D. He thought it was funny to have the blobs kill me guy off. Lol

      I think I may have made a Philly thread somewhere-- someone else may have too.  I should rummage around.

    Without a proper steering wheel (like emulated) Super Sprint is DAMN hard.

      @GoldLeader Of course, playing the follow-up doesn't really make you feel like a Champion.

      @GoldLeader Yeah, I have fond memories of SPRINT 2 as well   It was one of the first racing games I ever played as a kid.  I used to like the word grades (given for your score when time runs out) you could get in Atari/Kee Games racers back in the day, like "SO SO", "GRANNY", "ACE", "GOOD", etc.  As much of a bitch SUPER SPRINT or CHAMPIONSHIP SPRINT were, at least if you screwed up time and again, the computer would "dumb down" for you and the race would get easier.

      @BydoEmpire Yep; I remember that well.  I'm glad the Pacific NW at least got a championship for the first time in forever, but I do get sick of the Seahawks and their whiny coach.. and ALL the breaks they get their way.

      The 2003 Divisional Rd vs. the Eagles has to hurt too-- allowing a 4th and 26 conversion in regulation to allow the Eagles to send it to OT.  Ridiculous.
