      When an eel lunges out and he takes a bite of your snout, that's a moray.

  2. Looks like Commando for the c64 made me go "commando" on my c64 joystick and now I need to replace one of the microswitches.

      Actually, I was just playing the game when one of the microswitches broke. Thanks for the laugh though.

  3. What is wrong with YouTube? 5 unskippable  ads before a video

      If you have an Android phone, then there's Youtube Vanced.

  4. What's the hot Black Friday deals?

      I only went to one store during the afternoon and bought just two games. Beating the ever-living crap out of each other in a free-for-all to get to all the hot deals only sounds good on paper.

      @DeathAdderSF Duely noted. Also is there by any chance a modern clone of the Mockingboard for sale anywhere?

  7. What happened to Gamer Grub? It seems like it one day existed and then it just disappeared.

      I only knew about Gamer Grub from the video Classic Game Room did about it. Never tried it though.

      @save2600 Yeah, it could use some cleaning. It's also missing some of the screws that hold the top and bottom halves together.

  10. Just curious,  When did you get your NES? ...I got  mine in 1988. *

    1. The Mr. Video

      The Mr. Video

      I don't remember exactly when, but I got a hand-me-down NES at around 2010 or so along with a few games ranging from Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt to Deadly Towers.

  11. 7800 Owners!

    What are the most common problems you've had with your systems? I just bought one and I'd like to know what I'm getting in to. Also any game recommendations if my actually winds up working. 

    Thanks! ?

      The Mr. Video

      So far the only problem I've ever had with mine is that the power button is finicky, but besides that, it works perfectly.

      Actually I was only half way through the album by the time I was done.

  13. anyone remember the felix the cat:the movie? I remember it being weird and not very good

      I saw a review for it once. It's hard for me to believe that it was released around the same time as Disney's Beauty and the Beast when it has animation that looks like it was done in the early 80's.

  14. This Atari XE / XL USB Power cord is one of the greatest things I've ever purchased. Now if one could be made for the 7800.. https://www.8bitclassics.com/shop/computers/atari-8-bit-computer/atari-xl-xe-usb-power-cable/

    1. The Mr. Video

      I'm definitely buying one of those, mainly so I don't have to dig out the bulky power brick whenever I want to use my 600xl. They should make usb power cables for other systems.

  15. Bleck-- lowest total score for a SB ever. At least Brady didn't win the MVP.

    1. The Mr. Video

      The Mr. Video

      I have to agree with you. Barely anything happened for most of the game, most of the commercials didn't seem as good this time around, and when it started getting interesting, the game was already almost over.

  16. Been making progress on a new C64 board I'm working on. It's rewarding to see the board getting more functional and I do see it eventually working perfectly.

    1. The Mr. Video

      The Mr. Video

      Right now it outputs a mostly blank basic screen with some garbage on the screen, and if I turn the board on with Star Post plugged in, then the game loads, but looks glitchy and sometimes crashes.

  17. Don't put a glow stick in the microwave and then take it out and play with it

  18. What was the first 8-bit game you purchased? Mine was Protector II for my Atari 400 because it came in a 16k cartridge.

    1. The Mr. Video

      The Mr. Video

      Star Raiders because I needed a game for my Atari 600xl.

  19. Looks like our local FYE is closing down for good. Glad I went today to get the Greta Van Fleet album and also scored the original Transformers Soundtrack on vinyl. Not the new movies, the 80's series!

    1. The Mr. Video

      The Mr. Video

      I remember when my local mall had an FYE. Never really bought anything there, but I did stop by and look around whenever I got the chance.

  20. Let's take a really good paint program and ruin it by making it 3D. Also, let's change all the controls so nothing works like it used to.

      They did a similar thing when they got rid of Movie Maker in favor of Story Remix.

  21. Ugh, my last Betamax player finally bit the dust ... and I have around 60 Betamax tapes to still go through. Anyone have a working Betamax player for sale?

      This status update actually inspired me to work on my Beta player again. Its main problem is with the threading mechanism, but I've been making some process on fixing that.

      Not all of them. Most were made by Sony, but some were made by other companies, like Sanyo and Sears.
