[Opcode Status Update July 2023]

Received my DKA & Moon Cresta yesterday (had Gradius).. thank you very much.

 

Didn't get a chance to try DKA yet, and I'm going to feel sad taking it out of the wrap!  But very much looking forward to it.

 

[Nintendo being the first and (probably yet) the last who licensed a bootleg game]

Late her and off-topic, but does any of this tie into the game (I remember seeing maybe ONE?)  Kongorilla?  or Congorilla?

 

I barely remember it but was the DK style, and I think you could walk through the gorilla, not die from touching it.

 

[And so Dino Eggs begins]

I haven't tried the rom, but I'm thrilled to see this is in development.  I played Dino Eggs a LOT back in my C64 days!

 

[Mattel Intellivision fans, do you care what happens to the Amico?]

No.  Maybe GroovyBee can make some games for the Amico, though, it it ever comes to fruition.

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

Worth a bump, I'll listen to any offers.

 

 

[Intellivision Expansion Module for Colecovision]

Wow.  Very interested!

 

[Your Favorite Arcade Games For Halloween]

No need for Halloween necessarily...

 

But arcade Splatterhouse and C64 Friday the 13th

 

[Mass Effect Remastered]

I've already played this more than I thought I would, and yes, it looks very good.

 

I've enjoyed hearing the main characters' stories and intros, etc.. but like I said, the other stuff, I click on just to fill the codex and move on.  I'd also forgotten how much I enjoyed hearing Wrex speak.

 

So far, fun.  I hope I stick with it.

 

[Can someone explain all the various subscriptions?]

GamePass Ultimate has allowed me to try a ton of games I never thought I would.. and some of them I've liked a lot.

 

And when I didn't, uninstall and move on, no loss.  I love it.

 

[Mass Effect Remastered]

The Microsoft Rewards timeframe for bonus points was nearing its end, so I figured I'd eventually buy it... so I bought it.  Started off with ME1.. this will take me a long time, with limited gaming time, like so many of us.

 

So far, it's nice to go back.. but the first time around, I actually clicked and listed to all the conversations and backstories and codex info etc... I'm kind of clicking, then blowing by a lot of it if it's not important info.

 

[Mass Effect Remastered]

I'm still waffling on this one.

 

I originally got Mass Effect, not thinking I'd like it.  Then i loved it, and played it multiple times, and eventually won on the top difficulty setting.

 

Played ME2, though I can't remember if it was once or twice.

 

Played ME3, enjoyed it, that was enough.

 

(bought Andromeda when it came out but didn't play it very much).

 

 

So... not sure if I really want to go back and do it all again...

 

[New Project: Conversion of Kangaroo Arcade to ColecoVision]

Hope you feel better soon.

 

These really look great.  I always loved this game.

 

[CLUB COLECOVISION]

Off topic, but I sent you a PM recently, and just sent an email to cotegamers, please check when you get a minute.

 

Thanks

[The Three Stooges]

I remember playing this on my friend's IBM and enjoying it.  Then when I finally found it for my C64, it moved ridiculously fast and was much harder and I barely touched it.  Fun game though.

 

[In memory of Rosa Nely]

So sorry for your loss, so sad.  Many condolences.

 

 

[Cyberpunk 2077]

You pre-ordered it for Xbox One. There is no Series X version.

Semantics.  I pre-ordered it ON my Series X and play it on my Series X, it's just not optimized for it yet. 

 

[Cyberpunk 2077]

I still don't know much about it, but with all the hype for months, I figured I'd pre-order it for the Series X.

 

The Rewards points punch card was a nice bonus.

 

Didn't get a chance to play it yet.  Will try after work.

 

[Are you impressed by the PS5 or the XSX so far?]

As stated before, the Series X "came" with the hundreds of Xbox games I already had, and could still play.  Bought the new COD, even though I don't play that series much anymore, more for zombies with friends.  However, between new or old games on the SSD, the load times are awesome.. so nice to play a game within a a few seconds.  And quick resume, where applicable.

 

Will get Cyberpunk soon, as well.

 

(and as a side note, an added bonus is doing Microsoft/Bing rewards for awhile and saving up points... bought a shock blue controller, a new rechargeable battery pack with USB-C cord, and COD was free as well... all those for no cost.  Was nice.)

[new COLECOVISION homebrew game announcement - November 27, 2020]

Ordered!  Thank you.

 

[Xbox Series X]

Got mine yesterday.  Runs near-silently and fast.  Didn't have a whole lot of time with it yet though.

 

 

[Adventure: Sword with a giant point or giant handle?]

I always assumed the "point" was the tip of the sword.

 

Do the dragons die if they touch the "normal" side of it (if you're holding it from the pointy end)?

 

Do they only die if they touch the "point"?

How can something that hasn't been released impress me?
At this point it's all marketing.

You've never seen game trailer, a movie trailer, a TV show preview and thought "That looks interesting" even though it's not released yet?
