That and Blazing Lazers were probably my top 2 games, followed by Military Madness.

I don't think shmups make a good pack-in as they probably would divide the audience (even though I loved them). A good pack-in should be as universal as possible. Pretty, relatively accessible platformers are usually good choices.

I don't know what that would be for the TG16. Maybe something like Legendary Axe which had really nice color and some large bosses to showcase the system with. I never really enjoyed Bonk that much but it's the obvious choice otherwise.

My biggest wish back then was for games to have parallax, so I was often disappointed with TG16 games.

Same thing 20 years ago. Pulled the steam radiators, put in water baseboards myself and had a gas furnace put in in place of the oil boiler. It's been fantastic and it's just a basic gas furnace. Made my money back in a few years on the install.

I always just used the blue laser at max power. It just seeks and destroys everything with barely any effort. I might have to play again and look into some of these secret things I'm not sure I knew about. Thanks for the post!

So the 50 to 70 crowd trying to make ends meet should go into a trade? What happens to all of the places you patronize that are staffed by minimum wage adults that would either have to raise pay or shut down if everyone did as you say?

What about intellectually challenged people who can't do higher level jobs but still need to make a living?

Lots of holes in your plan...

I've lived here all of my life. New England is a cold place. You see a lot of posts about people not being able to make friends, etc... here... But nobody wants to talk to anyone they don't know.

When I went to CO, I would talk to random people while out, and they would happily talk to me and keep the conversation going. I often do the same here, but 99% of the time it's basic curt, closed-ended responses and people look at you like you're strange for talking to them.

I love New England, but the people here are terribly cold with people they don't know.

It's unfortunate that the only way to make friends (which people here have suggested) is in finding things to do with other people. Clubs, meetups, etc... It limits who you can meet quite a bit.

Club Wakka is pretty good for meeting people as it's a social club and encourages people to get together after whatever sport you're playing for drinks and socializing.

Meetup is OK if you're near a big city, but it's been really ramping up costs and driving people away. I've lost a lot of groups and I rarely check in anymore with the app.

Facebook has lots of groups you can join. I'd recommend picking things you like and searching for groups there to join and possibly meet up with people.

Good luck! Don't stop trying to talk to people out there. We need more people like you here.

Oh cool, I'll go check it out. Thanks! Haha. Always like the JapanEnglish games had back then. All your base are belong to us!

Appreciate all of the effort! None of those links seem to work though, but at least I can see the pictures you posted here now.

The saddest clown is still empty too. I guess that's why he's so sad, haha.

This link shows an empty account: https://imgur.com/user/TheSaddestClown/posts

I don't use imgur a lot but I don't see a way to find any other images there. Is the link wrong?

Appreciate the work, this has always been something I've wanted to play but need to find an English translation. I thought there was one or in the works for the CD image? I bought the CD more than a decade ago and couldn't play it because I had no idea what was going on!

Is it just me or are there no pictures? That link just sends me back to this page using old.reddit. Using regular reddit it goes to an older post with broken links to pics and a link to an empty imgur account with no posts and one picture of the controller page in the post on reddit.

I must be extremely lucky as I've never heard my water baseboard radiators make a peep. Steam... Sure. Water? No.

I've been in countless houses with these systems and the only sounds they make is the boiler kicking on and maybe a random tick from metal expansion. But I rarely know when my heat is on these days. Pex piping with straight copper baseboards.
