[I give up programming]

Eh... NEVER GIVE UP!! NEVER SURRENDER!!

 

If you need any advice or help with understanding programming I would love to help. I'm currently teaching some of my kids BASIC and love to talk about the ideas we come up with.

 

Even if you are quitting for a bit, don't give up forever.

[Thunder...Thunder...Thundercats...Hooooo!]

I still get teary eyed when I hear the 'Jaga' music. Just like when Optimus Prime died...

 

 

*hair standing on end!

 

 

..and..tears.

 

 

And here's a bonus that never came here...

 

 

MIND BLOWN!!

[That was fast]

The XBOX is just a computer. It's what I would consider the Dreamcast II. The DC used a proprietary GD-ROM that ran with Windows CE. The XBOX is just a 733 Intel P3 with 64 megs of RAM an 8-10 Gig hard drive, Nvidia graphics, etc. I put a chameleon mod chip in mine to use the EvoX front end and a bigger hard drive. I have a ton of emulators and games on the drive and hundreds of backgrounds and fun programs. Many of the launch titles were by Sega and I just feel like the correlation between Microsoft and Sega makes it seem like the Dreamcast II that never was (4 ports, online, Sega launch titles, DOA III, odd analog and thumpad placement, etc...). Resident Evil Code Veronica is excellent, as are so many other DC games. It's such a great system. I even have an NES emulator and tons of roms for the DC. It plays very well. There was an SNES emulator made but it only ran well with overclocking, which I wouldn't recommend on the DC.

[The genius of the ActionMax.]

My brother and I had an Action Max and several, uh..cassettes. I thought it was creative and fun! The Top Gun rip off was probably my favorite. I think we had all the games (only a handful, right?). Now what really was a total blast and was just like the Action Max only one step better was...CAPTAIN POWER! You shot at the screen, there were multiplayer modes (three vehicles with the ability to tag the screen), and you could fire the ships at each other without using tapes or a VCR!! After one ship got hit too many times the pilot would be forcibly ejected from the ship! Laser Tag with toy ships, so to speak!

 

Action Max Games (Wiki):

 

"In all, five VHS cassettes were released for the system: .38 Ambush Alley, a police target range; Blue Thunder, based on the eponymous; 1983 Motion Picture. Hydrosub: 2021, a futuristic underwater voyage; The Rescue of Pops Ghostly, a comic haunted-house adventure; and Sonic Fury, aerial combat, bundled with the system.

A planned sixth cassette, Fright Night, was unreleased at the time Action Max was discontinued."

 

Captain Power Games (Wiki):

 

"

• Future Force Training

As you prepare for your flight training as one of the Soldiers Of The Future, Captain Jonathan Power himself takes you on a simulated flight mission aboard the PowerJet XT-7. This tape was included in some editions of the XT-7.

• Bio-Dread Strike Mission

This is the real thing! Your target is a massive Bio-Dread military industrial complex—which is manufacturing robotic troopers. Corporal Jennifer "Pilot" Chase and Captain Jonathan Power will be flying with you. Human survivors are depending on you!

• Raid On Volcania

Soaron is leading the attack, backed up by hundreds of Interlockers and Phantom Striker jets! Captain Jonathan Power, Major Matthew "Hawk" Masterson, Corporal Jennifer "Pilot" Chase—and you—seem to be hopelessly outnumbered. In desperation, the team targets the battle computers in Volcania. "

[[Cancelled] Cat Quest for NES]

Well, there's always the 2600! Welcome home. It's a great idea whatever system you choose.

Alien Banana Ants Are Nice!!

Cool!

[The Story of Stay Frosty 2, Part 15]

The only thing I would change is the part where playing the music too loud causes all the stray dogs in a five block radius to encircle your house and run in a counterclockwise ring..

 

..just kidding, the game is a radical feat!!

[I'm going to open it!]

I always hold the box up in the air with the razor right next to the tape and say out loud the value..say.."TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS"..and then snip the tape and say "WORTHLESS!!!" It gives me great joy. I find that playing with things makes them truly worth more. I also like to hold my face really close to sealed packages and then right as I rip them open take a big deep breath and go "FREEEESH AIR!! AIR FROM LONG AGO WHEN THE WORLD WAS CLEAN!!"
