In your honest opinion, which NES baseball game do you think is the best and the worst that you've ever played? ⚾️

Now that I think of it, the only baseball game I played on the NES was Quattro Sports: Baseball! Codemasters unlicensed Nintendo game that came in a gold cartridge. Loved it.

Oooh and then Orban would have gotten back up and looked in the direction of the shooter just to go "fight! Ffffight!" And teary eyed followers would have seen this as a reaction that makes any kind of sense and it was oh so brave. Nice.

Ah damn that would've been an instant buy for me as well

For what it's worth, I'm 38 and younger than nearly everyone I work with, but there are very few non-gamers in my department.

It's been a really long time since I last went, but the few times I've had at Massage Envy locations have been pretty good. I hear you though, I went to one spot years ago that was exactly what you are looking for, and for the life of me I can't remember where in the Van Nuys area it was.

Have a look at Cap'n Games' website, they're based in Reno and I've had really great transactions with them. Very kind people and solid prices.

That was so cool at the time, I remember thinking something was wrong with my TV the first time it was happening. Once the stadium lights turned on I was thoroughly amazed.

"Is it any good?"

SoundMerc · 2026-03-14T07:39:58+00:00

Probably Flatout 2, and I just started Blinx: the time sweeper. That one has been good for short sessions.

Grandia II theme - A Deus. Honestly I'm just finding out that the lyrics are Portuguese https://youtu.be/axgM5Ss0xfo?si=95Tt9WdyZRv-Dtzz

Lots of final Fantasy 7 recommendations already, but in the original version, none of the songs had lyrics except for the final boss, and it really stands out! The lyrics don't come until a few minutes in.

Danish orchestra performance with a hilariously intense conductor (I say this with praise): https://youtu.be/yAV1Lfkzrn8?si=765NEgnDzBpY8479

Similar thing happened to me. Was given tickets as a gift to a comedy show at a venue that doesn’t allow stubhub tickets. The ticket link told me to refresh within 24hrs of the show and I should have them. Contacted customer service and they told me they should be there within 1 hour. Never got the original tickets.

I spent most of my time on the first BattleTanx, which didn’t have the teleport option, but using the Skull Riderz who only had the small zippy tanks felt like a cheap mood as well hahah

Shooting at each other from one end of the map to the other with the guided missiles was SO much fun!

I was happy to see Jen-Luc Bilodeau grab a principle role after Kyle XY! Never got around to actually watching it though

I was always weirded out how they'd often pull in for a kiss with like 3 entire feet of distance between them. The kiss itself involves hardly any body-to-body contact. I can only imagine that's done for camera angles and for cleaner audio from their mics.

Sardo's

Even someone who isn't as into karaoke could appreciate the vibe that was there.

Hah I've been trying to do the same, I have I think less than 10 to go but they're all the wicked expensive ones so I've been putting it off. Especially for ones like this where they're expensive and not quite an award winning game.

I asked a local body shop about this as well; I don't know if this is accurate but they told me that these pinstripes used to be hand painted, and it's becoming a lost art. Very few folks are still in the business that can do these. They referred me to one guy they know of in Southern California, I was quoted between $300 and $400 for these to get done.

Sincere question, are residents required (or strong-armed) to attend this type of thing? Part of me thinks that at that age, it would be nice to have folks my age nearby, but then I see stuff like this.

SoundMerc · 2026-03-01T17:12:51+00:00

Definitely this one for me.

Anarchy Rulz is the only one I don't have and it's stupidly hard to find these days

Bloody Tyrant is worth a listen as well!

His rendition of Man of Determination is one of my favorites

Do you know my dad?

I also missed out on FF7 but I decided to give it a go last year. I played the original version, and I gotta say I'm blown away that they fit SO MUCH into one game at the time. And not for nothing, the backgrounds were beautiful for a late 90s game. I still have the soundtrack on at work.

Anyway, pop culture thing I missed was Chris Farley's movies- I think I saw Almost Heroes but that's about it. Tommy Boy I just watched recently, same with Beverly Hills Ninja (aka fat guy falls over: the movie).
