The only problem with Midnight Mutants would be Al Lewis's likeness on the artwork and in the game. Commando is of course Capcom. My first ever acting gig was a small role in a movie with Al Lewis. I remember sitting at the table with him for hours, both waiting to do our scene - we were waiting until the wee hours. He was a lovely, lovely guy. He offered me chewing tobacco. I was 14! Haha. He told me he never watched anything he was in, I was fascinated by that but now I understand it. I was a huge Munsters fan so it was so cool to be able to spend that evening with him and then even be in a scene with him! Al said to the other folk we were with "You watch this boy, he'll be famous in a year". It was 18 months later that I landed a core cast role in a TV show that still runs to this day. I was in it for 13 years and I literally couldn't go anywhere in NZ without being recognised (fame sucks, btw). Al was only 6 months off. Haha. And now I'm a poor game dev... RIP Al Lewis. Such a legend. I need to play this game now... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fame may suck, but you could tell me your real name and I would have no idea who you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not be a conscious thing but I use them for that. The 2600+ one doesn't fit when it's plugged up though. lol I cut into the plastic to create “flaps” so it does 👍 The 400Mini cables connect below the cover so I don’t need to do that, but then that doesn’t really need a cover anyway 🤷♂️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
