Make sure you check what your charging for shipping as well as what you're paying - US shipping rates got a nasty hike again. Almost paid $48 to ship a $45 console across the US. Obviously I canceled the purchase. Last week the quote was $22.

Thanks. I missed the email on this one but I did manage to catch your post in time and snag it. Just late with the thank you.

One of my favorite arcade games of all time. It gets at least 15-20 of my tokens when I go to Funspot. *not my video*

I have had zero issues with any of this. For what it's worth: I absolutely love my Switch. I have been playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and it is amazing. Granted... it is Skyrim and you can play that on any refrigerator or the GPS in your Honda Accord nowadays but wow... portable Skyrim rules. I also have played through Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and I absolutely loved that as well. That is a great strategy game and, even with the comic relief and weird characters, it was really tough to play through and makes you think about what you are going to do. Mario Kart is... well... Mario Kart. It's a good game but it always is on any console. As for the console itself there is nothing better than being able to take the Switch out of the dock and play the exact game from the exact spot you left off at and just go. I thought it would be off-putting to go from my 32" tv to the portable screen but it doesn't bother me at all. I haven't bought Zelda as yet(still on my wants list along with Golf Story) but soon. My $0.02? Totally worth it.

Sweet. I missed this one. Thanks!

I don't see a Colin McRae game in there but I do love off-road/rally racers like Dirt.

Nostalgic pinball at its finest. The tables aren't complex but they definitely are fun. This was the first shareware program I ever paid for!

I WANT that cheeseburger!

I have a cabinet with the X-Arcade Tankstick but I really love how the Xtension sticks look. I've been thinking about getting one more and more lately but 1) I have a great stick and 2) I can't justify the cost to my wife (yet). How do you like the feel of the Xtension stick? Love the cabinet and would buy that with it if I have the cash when the time comes! I have one of theirs and it has been nothing short of awesome.

Went today! Will go again Wednesday.

I'm actually on vacation right now - about 200 miles from my video cabinet - but I just downloaded a free editor. I can get you the exact name when I get home. It's quick and easy. It loads the video and you just move the sliders to where you want the vid to start and end, click process and voila! All cropped and ready for previews. That but Google is your friend!

I usually steal a YouTube playthrough and chop it down to what I want.

Ooh Commodore64 build with a rebuilt keyboard so it works as a USB keyboard. I like it!

Would love to see some pictures if you ever document them. I think someone here linked this project some time back and I REALLY want to try it with a Samsung GX (for maximum geek-ness!!) :

Whaaaaa?? I like this one and the "woody" kit they sell as well! These N64 cases look really cool! Affordable too. Etsy TinyTendo N64 case

This is still one of my favorite builds even though it is 4 years old. BenHeck of course.

Bah... technical blah blah arf woof blah jargon... PLAY THE HEAVY SIXER. It's the best console ever. $5.00 to replace that difficulty switch if you're into it.

This is actually why you could play Atari 2600 games on an Intellivision or ColecoVision. It's also why the Coleco Gemini first hit the market. The 2600 could easily be built using off the shelf parts from any Radio Shack at the time with the exception of the TIA chip. That was the only part that was proprietary and Coleco had Motorola engineers working on their clone that worked on the 2600. It was such a grey area that Atari and Coleco settled out of court because - in my opinion - neither company was on solid ground. Did Coleco infringe on the patent or did Atari build such a simple, basic machine that anyone could put it together by writing their own code to simulate the TIA chip? All academic as they settled the case, Coleco paid Atari some pittance royalties and both companies made a ton of cash for another year before everything crashed. Mattel went one step further and designed their own circuits - lawsuits threatened but nothing was even filed by Atari. No leg to stand on - again my opinion.

*cough* *cough* Seriously though - Glad you got it figured out and, hey.... we all learned a few things along the way! This was a great ride. Sixers (whether Sunnyvale or light) are always preferred in my opinion. Seeing all the switches standing tall ready for use is just awesome. Also, try using a Space Shuttle overlay on a 4-switch - it sucks. Or - even worse - playing your Atari games on an *GASP* Intellivision!!! P.S. - Peter Cullen was the Morgan Freeman of the 80's wasn't he? His voice was everywhere!
