I love the Intellivision. The biggest downside - for me - is that most of the early-midlife games are 2 player. I could fire up my ColecoVision or Atari and play when I was by myself but Mattel insisted on too many multiplayer games early on. Some of my favorites to play: Advanced Dungeons & Dragons©: Treasure of Tarmin, Advanced Dungeons & Dragons©: Cloudy Mountain, Microsurgeon, Space Battle or Space Spartans.

As stated - Unreal Gold is free on GoG.com. So at 12:00 EST on 5/24/2018 this goes away.

Sorry... should have said Best. Controller. Ever.... for $20. I wish I had the $90 to buy a pair of the PRO controllers.

Yeah all I know is one day I might wake up and find my system updated because Williams suddenly decided to release their own collection and had the Williams Legal Goon Squad force Pinball Arcade to remove their property that's no longer under contract. I'll leave it blocked.

I read that article and immediately made sure the pinball executable is blocked in my firewall. They're not "down-dating" my Pinball Arcade.

Best. Controller. Ever. Beats my PS3 controller hands down.

OMG I CAN HEAR THIS!!!! I HATE YOU!!! :-P

1) The gum-chewing bastard that snaps it. I have a guy at work that snaps his gum EVERY SINGLE TIME. I want to shove a rope down his throat, pull the other end out of his anus and tie him to the rafters that way. 2) Being late. I got into the habit of telling my wife to be ready by 6:30 when I want to leave by 7:00. Most of the time we make it... 3) People that don't silence their phones in obvious situations. We play bingo at the casino. It's not like playing at church (HEY! Another place to silence your damn phone) - you need to hear what's going on or you could miss a win. Right in the middle of a number call this dink's phone makes the most obnoxious noise. Then again... and AGAIN because he's in a texting match with someone. Then HE gets mad at ME for asking him to silence his phone. Vibrate works just as well and doesn't disturb anyone. 4) "No offense but..." how can that sentence end in any other way except being offensive? "No offense Bob but you stink like last week's fish catch rolled around in High Karate then fell into a litter box." "Gee... thanks for caring Tom. And not being offensive..."

Billy Mays (R.I.P. ya loud bastard)

MWUAHAHAHAAHAHA!!!

Fixed it... Here's a good one for you all - Yahoo "news" stories. You know the ones where the title is the whole story and some schlub did no research or article writing whatsoever. Usually a grand one liner then some face-rolling on the keyboard.

Top 25 movies that didn't suck!! #9 will shock you!

eBay - RARE!!!!ONEONE111!!

"LOL" - biggest lie on the intehwebs... Watch my wife text LOL all the time and I KNOW she didn't even chuckle. 'nuff said.

I was going to try it with the 3B+ but I also have an X-Arcade joystick to mod. Since I KNEW the 3B was compatible I just put that one in it. Adultery is right though I think they'll have updated scripts soon but nothing as yet. (Well TBH I haven't checked this weekend since I had to work.) I was originally going to go with the NESPi case but I like the fact I didn't have to attempt a physical mod to get a safe shutdown and, well.... I like the SNES better than the NES! Sue me. EDIT: I think that some of the reviews are saying the Kuma 9000 doesn't work with the 3B+ because of the new PoE pins next to the GPIO pins. These 4 pins block the massive mega-ultra huge heatsink from being mounted.

Not so fast...

Well on the Tankstick on my Arcade cabinet I use the bottom 4 buttons for shoulder buttons when needed but, more importantly, I use them for the universal exit configuration in GameEx. On the Solo? Pretty sure there are a ton of buttons to configure them to. ------------------------------------------------ EDIT: I forgot about my Super Kuma 9000 case! Came in yesterday and I had it up in 10 minutes. Case includes a custom board that connects to the GPIO which adds functional Power and Reset switches. The shutdown script installed fairly quickly. I REALLY like this thing! Only $19.91 on their homepage and Amazon.

Got my hands on an X-Arcade Solo today. Only thing missing is a DB9 Male/Male coupler. Once I get that in I am going to drop one of my Raspberry Pi systems in it and a fan.

So I got a very nice surprise yesterday. My Pi 3B+ came in already! It only shipped from Massachusetts so being only one state away I got it in 2 days. Here's my post from Atari Age on the things I noticed so far:

Yeah so I have been contemplating buying a 3rd board to use in a different project now that I have this stable. (Wife stole 2nd board for her own use ) SOOOOOooooooooo........ Since I was spending the money anyway I bought a Pi 3B+. Should be here today. Now I just need to wait for them to develop the newer RetroPie build. Apparently this board either won't run on Jessie or just doesn't like it but now it needs Stretch. I already bought a 5v/3A power adapter so now this board will get that one. Bah... who cares? I have the new board coming and will be ready to go when they release! MWUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! EDIT: ALL RIGHT!!! Got my package yesterday afternoon... I ordered a Pi B+ instead of a Pi 3B+. Stupid fast fingers ordering before reading thoroughly. So that one is going back and the new one is already on order. Should have it Thursday-ish. Revel in my stupidity!! I know I am...
