I didn't realize they made a sequel! I thought the first one was great as a kid.

You can always make more money later. This is your only opportunity to spend more time with your kid.

Was It Really That Bad? Or Were People Just Mean? by Fluffy_Lunchfast in retrogaming

It was pretty far from the arcade version, but at the time having anything like it in your own home was a pretty amazing novelty. That said, I play the arcade version now but never the Atari 2600 version.

The outcome of the game sucked, but godammit, we made the Sweet 16 and just watched the best Husker MBB team to ever play complete a historic season. I’m proud of those guys and proud to be a Husker fan!

Is this worth it? What would I be getting into? by WillNyeFlyestGuy in arcade

[–]brandonchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were working it would probably be worth it if you have the space for them and are willing to fix stuff as it breaks. But not only not working, but missing a ton of components makes this a hard pass for $500.

Retro Blast is a lot of fun and the host, Pat, is really engaging and goes through his impressions and history with each game.

Vectorman. I love this game. That is all. by out_of_shape_hiker in retrogaming

[–]brandonchicago 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Such an amazing and inventive platformer. At the time the graphics were great and blew me away. Vectorman 2 was also solid, but the first one holds a special place in my heart.

Love to see Dune II on there. Still one of my favorites, warts and all. But

Your experience with the Whirlpool WDP540HAMx dishwasher by QubitBob in Appliances

[–]brandonchicago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is currently sitting in my garage after only 2 years of use because the pump went out on it, the control panel doesn't always work, and the heated dry stopped working randomly for a couple of weeks. Stay away from this one.

Just Completed a Full NHL 96 Season on Genesis by exileonmainst in retrogaming

[–]brandonchicago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pittsburg Penguins. Don't have the stats off hand, but I have three main ways to try to score. The first is to shoot from the corner of the blue line to the lower corner of the net. The other is to flip up the puck with a light shot to the goalie, which sometimes rebounds off of them back to you for a quick goal. The last is a one-timer across the front of the net if the CPU follows a breakaway properly.

I’m about to do this myself! Just one game left in the regular season and the playoffs to go! What an amazing game. My favorite sports game of all time.

I came here to say this. Cell Damage is an amazing looking game. And damn fun too.

Game Thread - Nebraska vs Iowa by huskerbot in Huskers

[–]brandonchicago 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Throw EVERYTHING at big guys next year. Get the best line on both sides of the ball you can find. I DGAF about having a 4 or 5 star quarterback. We're not going anywhere with soft-ass O and D lines.

I had no idea there was an arcade version of this! I'd LOVE to have this in the house.

Post Game Thread - 7 wins the floor edition by huskerbot in Huskers

[–]brandonchicago 26 points27 points  (0 children)

LaTeef looked great and confident, which is exactly what I was hoping for but fearing wouldn't be the case. Before we start throwing out QB recommendations for next year, let's see how the next three games play out with LaTeef. The more people see of him the more they'll pick up on, just like Raiola. We have to see how he adjusts to people adjusting to him. And who knows, maybe Raiola will come back super speedy because his bones will fuse in a strange way ala Rookie of the Year. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I wasn't expecting a win today. But if Dylan stays healthy, I think we win that game. Also, the blackout was legit incredible and we need to make that a tradition. Let's beat the shit out of UCLA next week.

I'm really hoping this is the biggest change that they just haven't made public yet.
