[Did you know Impossible Mission was impossible because of a bug?]

Obviously someone figured it out or they wouldn't have fixed it for the PAL version.

[How do others here feel about this? (Atari XP cash grab)]

I find it weird.  They made less than 10K on this.  That's probably why they couldn't be bothered to get some actual product to take pictures of.

[Finally got my PS5, anything I should know before I set it up?]

It's nice to see these things are finally available to add to cart on the Sony website.  At least the one that comes with a disc drive is.  Digital edition is still sold out.

[Disc drive for Series S]

The only thing I've read is about a patent they obtained, no actual concrete plans.

[Groovybee 7800 Games Reviewed!]

Monsters was a port of a BBC Micro game when Mark was tinkering with creating software to port those.  As far as I know he never finished it.

[Games you wish had come out on the 7800]

A Punch-Out clone  (Fight Night is awful)

A football game that didn't suck

A baseball game that didn't suck.

Sirius and Plutos

[Donkey Kong XM Pre-order and demo]

I doubt Al wants a Nintendo game in his store considering their history of C&Ds.

[Ignored/blocked users are visible post-update (bug?)]

Would also be  nice if we could auto ignore topics from people on our ignore list if that's possible.

[Do you think it was intentional on atari's part to make the cart slot tough to fit third party carts?]

Not sure why they'd care either way if third party 2600 games fit in the 7800.  They wanted to sell new 7800 games.

[Ignored/blocked users are visible post-update (bug?)]

I've noticed the same thing.  It's pretty much like the first post.  If I click on the options and tell it me to show the post then that menu simply disappears.  I also deleted one person from the ignored listed and re-added them with no change.

[Developer kit Xbox-x]

You should go here https://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/id

[We need to talk about Lunar Lander]

The Kansas Cosmosphere (space museum) had this game so I played it there as a kid. Enjoyed it and it was definitely difficult.  Then again that's what quarter suckers are designed to do.  Seems like a good game for the 5200.

Heck, they should sell a 2 TB expansion also. 

There's a 2TB card now.  It costs almost as much as an Xbox Series X.

[Ha! They are 'Monsters', not 'Ghosts'!]

All I see in the video is a guy who did a good job researching his topic and presenting it.  

 

 

[Pac-man on Steam]

I've never had a problem controlling the game with my Xbox One controller. Any place it says to press enter I just press the 'A' button instead. should work just fine with an Xbox 360 controller as well. 

[Lucasfilm Press Conference Pass]

I doubt they would have killed the 5200 if this even had been on Friday May 4th instead.

[New Pinball Arcade from makers of Williams Collection]

Zen has Indiana Jones at $15 by itself. I can see why Farsight never bothered.

 

Also if you buy it for Pinball FX 3 your license won't transfer over to the new version called Pinball FX.

[Microsoft to acquire Activision Blizzard in $67 billion deal]

What I find weird is this means Microsoft owns everything Sierra and Papyrus sold.

[Should i get a series X? Pros and cons please]

I got a Series X at release. I moved my USB hard drive from my Xbox One to my Series X and it played all those games just fine without any hassle.  Xbox Series S/X enhanced games are required to be on the internal hard drive or official expansion card.  You can back up those on an external USB drive but that's it.

[Forza Horizon 5- needs no introduction]

The clean racing award only means you haven't run into any solid object like a wall.  It doesn't care if you bump other racers. There's also a way to Fast Travel to an event but I can't seem to figure out how to do.  Then again I enjoy driving around randomly more than doing the actual events.

 

Google tells me this is how to unlock fast travel:

 

Quote

Fast travel has a steep unlock requirement in FH 5. You’ll need to complete an Expedition, then spend 2 million credits to buy the Baha region house. After that, you’re free to fast travel there, to any other house you’ve purchased on the map, or to any of the fast travel boards you’ve smashed on the world map.

 

FH4 had awesome graphics and this seems like more of the same with slight tweaks.

[Should i get a series X? Pros and cons please]

To me the no disc drive isn't as big a deal as the fact the Series S has a 512gb hard drive.  The 512GB expansion card is $140, the 1TB expansion card is $220 and the 2TB expansion card is $400.

[Any "fix" for the slow download speed?]

That makes me wonder if they throttle silver accounts.  Otherwise I can't imagine why they would throttle someone. Glad it got taken care of.

[Boulder Dash Deluxe - (by BBG) - (in VCS Store)]

This was made available in the Steam store a few days ago.

 

[The twisted story of Mystique and Playaround revealed]

Somehow I didn't know the Bachelor game exists, just the other two garbage games.  Really well documented article. I thought it was pretty cool that @rolenta still had the business cards from back then.
