Most included that as a "hidden" feature. Many even play SVCD's. Indeed. Actually, I like the VCD format and it is also one of the few retro items it is still possible to find around here with relative ease (as some of my past Secret Santa recipients over here know! ) Edited December 13, 2019 by roberto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister actually called me from a thrift store when she saw the Laserdisc there a decade ago or so. Told her... BUY IT, please!

I'm trying to wait until at least Christmas Eve. I admit the Spousal Unit is twisting my arm to get me to open it. And on a side note I found this funny. I also think it is a fair and accurate representation of how UPS does business... Edited December 13, 2019 by ClassicGMR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBreakout Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Ha! The way UPS handled the package I shipped to Grig last May, I'd say that pic is about right! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen fragments of it, never the entire one. It is a mix of animated and live action, akin to the same style as the Disney movies Mary Poppins or Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Btw it is available on DVD, region 2 which I suppose would require you to have a region free player.

CaptainBreakout Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) *sigh* it's nice to see that image. Although I worry this is going off-topic, on the other hand it seems quite appropriate to do free-form conversation while our packages are either airborne or beckoning us to tare them apart from the other room. Dunderklumpen was awesome. I spent a good deal of my childhood in a remote mountain cabin near a lake in the summer... And while I was in a much more Californian, rather than Swedish, environment, this film felt very familiar. But... Also enchantingly weird. Since my favorite film then was Who Framed Roger Rabbit, this also bridged the gap between urban noir gen-x grit and wilderness mysticism in terms of the toons in my head.

doubledown Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I've never heard of it, but as an NTSC release I could digitize to DVD for you at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I couldn't hold off any longer! I opened it up a couple days ago. Super happy with the Genesis games! So far Championship Pro-Am and Lotus Turbo Challenge are my favorite. And chocolate is always welcome in this household. Merry Christmas everyone! I'm looking forward to everyone's pictures of their gifts. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I received mine in the mail about a week ago. I’ve been a good boy so far, but seeing one already open makes me jealous. Christmas is the best on the Atariage Forums! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emerson Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 My uncle shared this with me this morning before work and it's only fair that I share it here with you all here and now. He heard it on the WWOZ radio station out of New Orleans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFxWv_L9_QY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClassicGMR Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Opened the box today since it was water damaged and everything seems to have survived! When I got it last week the post office left it out on my front step in the middle of the pouring rain. I still won’t be opening it until at least Christmas Eve unless my wife’s pressure gets to me! ?? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMooCowz Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I couldn't resist phase one of opening the box, but did stop... for now. I bet I'll give in tomorrow. Also, I can say to my secret santa that this is too much! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compromise with the wife (and my inner demon as well) - there's 8 presents on that couch so starting the 18th I will open one package a day. By the 25th I will open the last one. I kind of like the idea. Gives me some joy every day and I get to spread it around to you all too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
