  1. I saw the news on an article last night and immediately felt sick to my stomach. I could feel nearly 10 years of my life and times spent on here slipping away in an instant. I can tell you, having spent some time around corporate America, that this is not good news for us, the enthusiasts. The bottom line is money, and getting more of it from people. Mainly mainstream consumers, but also from us, the hobbyists. The winners here are #1--Atari, #2 and to a much lesser extent, Albert. I assume they made him an offer he couldn't refuse. For us, the enthusiast. It's a loss. Already there are less homebrews available, the roms are gone, the Harmony cart is gone from the store. It's a corporate site, not an enthusiasts site. Companies are not so into free. SUCH. A. BUMMER. It's like when a company goes public and tries to drum up excitement among the employees about it....then a few months later the layoffs start inevitably happening because the shareholder is now number one. Our layoff equivalent here are the freedoms and fun and creativity and sharing that took place on this site. I don't blame Albert one bit; money is real, you can use it to take care of yourself and your family, for a better life, etc. I might well have done the same thing. For the community and this forum, I think its a huge and unfortunate blow. Will give it a few months before final judgement, but as mentioned above, indicators are trending in the wrong direction.
  2. Have been playing Doom Resurrection on 32x and had to come check in on this thread. Take your time....everyone is super excited for this an no comparisons will be made; I'm sure it will be awesome!
  3. I owned this once and made that case for it since it came as a blank cart in a carboard box. It's a release candidate build from a show back then. I think I paid $700 for it and sold it for...$700? This guy is clearly trying to gouge for it. I should make an offer for $700 and see what he says..lol.
  4. This is awesome! Downloaded and will read it also; would love a hard copy someday!
  5. Thanks DrTypo! First game for the DrTypo Collection II 😁
  6. It's ironic that Bob Barker lived so close to 100 without going over... RIP Bob!

      Same with Betty White.  Almost got to 100.

  7. Nice work! Would like to order a number of these myself! Thanks for your hard work on these.
  8. I like the "hit a certain pre-order number" before release idea. Something like this; people are going to want the official release for sure. If it happens; day one purchase from me and many others I think!
  9. Come play Iron Soldier and Gravitic mines in the new round/season of the Jaguar HSC, posted today! 

  10. Hey all! I wanted to give everyone a little more time to sink their teeth into these games and get a score up, so the round goes until the end of September, which is a short month anyway. Enjoy! If anyone has a preferred game mode, or finds that defaults don't work (will try soon myself) please post ideas here, the earlier the better. Thanks! -Rick

  14. Just finished reading The Time Machine by HG Wells.  A short but mind-blowing book.

      I don't think I've read the book, but I did see the 1960 movie a year or two ago. Quite good! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054387/

      Oh yeah!  One of my favorite authors!  I recommend all of his main books!  I've read The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, In the Days of the Comet, The Island of Dr. Moreau, Invisible Man, Food of the Gods, The Kingdom of the Blind, Empire of the Ants, The Crystal Egg (A favorite short story), and more!... yet I guess he still has other stuff I need to read!  I better get to it!

  15. Hey All! Mid month I will be kicking off the second season of the year (18) that will last through the end of the year. What would YOU like to play this next go around? Cheers' -Rick
