[Renting Arcade Games During Lockdown]

Very cool, enjoy... I wish I had that option.

 

[Suggestion for alternate xbox one headset]

I need a new headset and had been holding off... is it 100% confirmed that any current headset will work on the new XBox?

 

I'm thinking yes, but don't want to spend bigger money on this if it's a short-term investment.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Still playing Rocket League.

 

Started the new Ori, which is good other than some quick freezing moments.  Weird.

 

Getting the new Doom as well, soon.

 

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

I'm moved and unpacked, can sell again if there's any interest.

 

Bump.

 

[HDMI Connection]

I posted this in general, but I'll do it here too:

 

 

I just moved and all my current TVs are missing RCA inputs.  My modified ColecoVision has the yellow/red/white wires.

 

Would this work?

[RF to HDMI converter?]

On a similar note, I just moved and all my current TVs are missing RCA inputs.  My modified ColecoVision has the yellow/red/white wires.

 

Would this work?

[SEGA Star Wars arcade - ever seen it in real life?]

Definitely, many years ago in a Florida arcade.. maybe Malibu or something, I think it was a big arcade that had racing.  I think I played it at one other place as well, but have no idea where.

 

I still have my original 32X and this game, but haven't had it hooked up in ages.

 

[Best Nintendo VS arcade games?]

Widely regarded as a pretty crappy game, I used to play the hell out of Vs. Baseball, and loved it on the NES.  It has tons of flaws, but something about it always had me playing it.

 

A local Pizza Hut had a sit-down dual screen Vs. Baseball, where your points keep ticking down (or up if you scored).. it was definitely a quarter eater. 

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Finished Doom 3 maybe two weeks ago, or so.  What a chore.

 

Didn't stick with Goose like I thought, but will definitely go back to it.

 

Still, as always, mixing in Rocket League.

 

And some of My Friend Pedro.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

As always, still playing Rocket League in small doses.

 

Trying to finish Doom 3.  It's really not fun at all.

 

Will be starting the Goose Game shortly.

 

[Rick and Morty pinball from Spooky]

A very popular yet cultish animated show on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim.

 

[Opcode ColecoVision wishlist....]

Thanks for the quick service!

Will the games still work on a stock CV but without the Phoenix features?

 

3 hours ago, opcode said:

Yes, sure. But if you have a Phoenix you get improved color palette, perhaps better sound, things like that.

 

 

Please, please make these games with your original customers in mind, and the Phoenix stuff second, if that makes sense.

 

I want nothing to do with their stuff, and I really hope I don't feel like an afterthought once these games start coming out.. like "you'll get a great game, but you're getting the real experience playing it on a Phoenix" or something. 

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

I beat both older (pixelated) and newer Bloodstained games, then downloaded The Outer Worlds on GamePass.  Only into it a little bit, not sure what I really think of it yet.

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

Bagman has been sold.

 

 

Thanks to all buyers.

 

[The Case for Adventure as the First Video Game Masterpiece]

I find it interesting the popular choice as a masterpiece is Space Invaders, simply because that was an arcade translation.

 

Could Adventure be considered an "original" masterpiece?

 

I loved Adventure and consider it a classic.  Whether a classic and masterpiece are the same, I'm not sure.

 

[Currently Playing / About to Start.. ?]

Did you not convert sub (if you have one) to GamePass?   The Outer Worlds is on GamePass.

 

[Castlevania Super Game]

That looks great, and the scrolling/transitioning works nicely.

 

 

[ColecoVision Homebrews FS/OBO - CollectorVision only]

Dragon's Lair has been sold

 

[NEW GAME FOR YOUR COLECOVISION : MUNCHER MOUSE]

I had a bit of a scare... mine finally arrived just a few days ago.  That box was in bad shape.  I could definitely tell it was originally packed well and taped well, but it was ripped up in several places, with some denting/squashing apparent.

 

Anyway, once I properly opened it, the game (which was also well protected inside) was in perfect shape. 

 

Thanks!

Haven't played Hollow Knight since..... now playing Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, and as always, a little Rocket League mixed in.
