adamchevy Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm all about analog crt so no hdmi but I am intrigued by "other upgrades". I have a Sony Trinitron that I will never part with, unless it dies. It came out of a bread and breakfast in eden Utah, so hopefully it didnt see much use. I had to hand truck it down a spiral wooden staircase by myself. It’s one of those 2001 36” Trinitron beasts. A couple skinny little girls helped me lift it into the back of my van. When I got home I invited to of my neighbor buddies to help me hand truck it down stairs into my basement. If somebody wants to try and rob me and take it upstairs without me hearing them, then they deserve to own it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Alexander Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 If you got a trak ball you gotta have Millipede 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ryan Witmer Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 If you got a trak ball you gotta have a Millipede This is a game that has grown on me quite a bit. I didn't like it all that much at first, but now it's one of my most played games. I don't think the trak ball feels quite right in this game, but it's still better than the joystick. Centipede has much better trak ball control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
