Consider it added! I never even heard of it.

I'm not sure either. To be honest, I've never made it through the whole first stage yet on MAME. Atari I made it through all 3 I think one time, but I don't remember what happens after that. Good score by the way! Keep yourself from being beaten! Updated OP, DB, RSS

I'll take it all the same! Never mind, looks like you already bested your best! And it bumped you up a spot, always a plus! Updated OP, DB, RSS

Stargate SG-1, if given the time to watch by anybody who's into the genre, is one of those shows that really took advantage of being televised. When you look at it, the movie was awesome for it's time. It opened a whole new idea of what the pyramids could have been used for, the idea of the "Gods" truly existing as flesh (although with robotic masks), and just the premise of being able to travel vast distances through a gate was epic. Then came the show. It could have been cancelled right away. But the network execs gave it a chance, it blossomed, and I think is actually BETTER than the movie. Sure the movie was big budget, mostly paying for actor's wages and special effects. But when you look at the show, they were able to go different planets all the time, and more fully develop the whole "gods are actually aliens" bit. Then because it's a drama series too, you could build better characters and have more emotional attachments to them. I was sad when it was cancelled. But when Atlantis was still going strong, it was just as good. A new cast, more like a "Deep Space Nine" type show where the action happened THERE rather than going out looking for it (although SG-1 became more of a protect Earth type show later). What I was really shocked for was the cancellation of SG-U. They didn't give it the chance they gave SG-1. I think it had the potential to be even greater than the other 2. Here we have a story that involved a derelict ship, out in the middle of who knows where, that is crewed by people that don't know how to use it that shouldn't even be there. The discovery of using 9 points on the gate and an alien attack caused the people to jump through the gate to escape death. Then once they get there, they find a device that allows them to switch bodies with people back on Earth, so people can "stay in contact". They're looking for a power supply to get home (like ST. Voyager). But somebody on board doesn't WANT them too and has a secret agenda. What stunk on the show was the poor casting with people that couldn't act. The story was good, a typical sci-fi idea. I just felt like it wasn't given the opportunity to run a decent story like SG-1 did (hell, SG-1 spawned 3 tv movies..). Anyway, don't get me started on SG-1 (and Stargate in general). I own the DVD's of the entire run from all 3 shows. It's a great bit of sci-fi. But like I said, only if given the chance to be watched. Sure it's recasted, but honestly.. I think the new cast was better anyway (except for the control room guy, he was in every episode and even the movies, and was the only person not recast although I don't think he had a name until nearly the end of the series).

Crazy Kong will probably NOT make it to the lists... it's basically a recolored version of Donkey Kong with changed audio. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Kong As for Kicker.. are you referring to just KICKER, or MR. KICKER? I'm assuming the first one, but just want to be sure.

WHAT?!!! No kidding! Nice score runs guys! Especially you Cynicaster! Welcome back to the comp! Updated OP, DB, RSS

Yeah, those aliens sure aren't very humane are they? Updated OP, DB, RSS

I'm going with an RMA replacement for the time being. I just think for future purchases I might have to go with WD. Their RMA process is painless though, and free if you don't want them to send you out a replacement drive first (otherwise it's $11.95 for the return label/packaging). I was quite happy with this drive too, to the point where I just installed my 4th one yesterday (which prompted the discovery of this whole mess). I'm really finger-crossing in hopes that this was just bad luck, and I won't end up replacing more so soon. I'm mostly upset with the fact that I've only had it 208 days, not even a year, and it comes with a 5-year warranty. The manufacturer stands by it to run 24/7 for something like 114 years (1M hours, link), and I ran it maybe 10 hours a day if that. Maybe I should look into the Enterprise class NAS rather than the entry level NAS, as they can run in larger +16 bay enclosures (I have a 24-bay one). All the same, when this was finally said and done, it had 1,327 "unreadable sectors". SMART data revealed as 72 Reallocated sectors, and 1,255 in Pending/Uncorrectable.

Aww man, so close to J!!! I wish I wasn't having Home Server Admin problems, I'd like to to try playing this again. Updated OP, DB, RSS

I hate this game so much. If it wasn't for my OCD of having EVERYTHING, I'd delete this thing. I still can't get anywhere near the top 10. Updated OP, DB, RSS

Why do I always seem to have the worst luck when it comes to hard drives? I spent last summer/fall building this brand new server, with brand new everything (case, psu, cpu/ram, etc). I've spent the bigger bucks buying true NAS server-grade hard drives. Now you know what I wake up to on my day off? An alert saying one of those NAS drives is experiencing difficulties and needs to be sector-checked. So I spent the last 9 hours running a sector-check, get up to around 97% good, then all of a sudden I'm hit with over 100 unreadable sectors... back to back to back. According to the server, I've only owned this drive for 208 days. I'm probably going to RMA it with Seagate and get a new one. Trouble is, I can't really afford the space to backup the un-duplicated files. That's why I got this drive. UHG. Just looked, I'm now at 133 unreadable sectors. NOPE, make that 147. Why does this happen to me? Did I do something wrong to piss off the computer gods or something?

Nice posts guys! I'm glad the old favorite of mine is turning lots of heads here too! Updated OP, DB, RSS

I wondering where you were at MO! Glad you found us again! Updated OP, DB, RSS

I think that's why a story like Amelia Earhart would work. About the only other thing they could do that would fit that time frame would be make something completely up. I mean, they did the Cup of Christ and Ark of the Covenant. Maybe another Biblical treasure, or they could Atlantis or something. Or maybe he could find whats on Oak Island.

LOL.. Im not THAT bad am I? I just like the movies, and every time a better version came out I would get it. Speaking of which, guess what my seedbox just picked up that was leaked online today? I know what I'm watching tonight!!!

LOL!! Give the guy a break. I'm not all about busting GC's chops. Updated OP, DB, RSS

Welcome to the board. Kind of nerfed about your first post mentioning something about racism, but whatever. Hope you enjoy your stay, and we look forward to having you here!

Always a plus! Feels great to beat a personal best. Updated OP, DB, RSS

Naw... Updated OP, DB, RSS

You guys are both awesome as far as I'm concerned. Updated OP, DB, RSS

It's not your NES' Shinobi, that's for sure. Updated OP, DB, RSS

Holy Moly! It's Yung-Jedi, back from the dead! Glad to have you back. Not a whole lot has changed since you left. We finally got a new GOTM going, and a new thread dedicated (and pinned) to suggestions for future polls/gotm. Feel free to take advantage of that! GC has been kinda out, so I've had to step up. That's one of the reasons for the new thread and the GOTM delay (since he was pretty much controlling all the new content). In any case, I'll say it again. Glad to see ya and hope you post some new scores soon! Updated OP, DB, RSS

Heh I forgot about my HAN AA score. I wonder if it's still in there. Good times.. Nice entry! It's not in the Top 10, but I know with practice you'll be knocking all of us down. Updated OP... (DB/RSS not needed)

Nice to finally see you on board! Updated OP, DB, RSS
