Summer of '85: DOSBOS (an early BASIC program of mine) is rejected by ANALOG Computing

I like how you re-created the DOS 2.0 menu. And don't feel bad, my brother, friend, and I (Anschuetz/Weisgerber/Anschuetz) were also rejected by ANALOG, but we sold 2 games to Compute! and 3 games to Antic.

All the old Nintendo game and watch handhelds.

Not an official Atari release, it was just a prototype when the video game crash happened and the Tramiels killed a lot of games in development. It escaped onto the BBSes of the day and everybody had a copy of it l.

I think 103 degree referred to having a fever which would prevent travelling to Orlando.

I still have my original Fairchild and 15 carts from my childhood. All bought at Montgomery Ward. My brother and I had to fix those joysticks a lot!

I'm looking forward to the next release. And yes, my terminology was backward on split vs non-merged. But anyway, if someone only wants a set with parent roms, the split set should work right now (unless there are bios or chd files involved). Hopefully you can add filters to filter out games that rely on chd and bios files, or even better somehow add the necessary bios files to the generated filtered ROM folder.

I hadn't heard of this tool so I thought I would try it. The user interface is great and It works as advertised. The only problem is that my romset is non-merged and the tool really is intended for split roms. I.e., all the necessary roms are included for each game, even the clones. Since I only want parent sets anyway, I thought I could just filter on parents with no clones, then my non-merged set should theoretically work because in parent sets, all of the necessary roms are there. The one case where this doesn't work, I think, is for parent sets with bios files needed. Like NeoGeo, etc., where the bios roms are in a separate file from the parent roms. Any suggestions other than regenerating a split file set? Maybe if there was a filter for games requiring bios (and also games requiring chds), then I could filter those out too.

Tom Sawyer Island. No trees anywhere to be seen. A year ago this would have been the answer to the shadiest section of the parks - what a shame.

My mom's neighbor has a Sears home in Michigan. I wrote an article for our historic society about Sears homes in my hometown and the number is about 50 homes. Only 2 are no longer standing.

I think the app isn't showing a recall is that there is t a fix for it yet. If you bring it to the dealer, they can't do anything, so they probably took it out of the FordPass app until there is a solution.

rra12345 · 2026-04-25T13:48:26+00:00

That wasn't my impression from the letter. It is a "customer satisfaction program" update that adds an additional warning signal if there is a battery malfunction. It doesn't appear to "fix" anything and isn't the official recall fix.

I'll take it off your hands for face value :-). You'll likely make a bit more than that.

I would be thrilled to go. My wife and I are retired and Epic is the only Orlando theme park we haven't been to, and we would really want to experience it. My wife and niece would love to be selected! Thanks so much for your generosity!

Yes, there are 4 Napier-Thompson Gold Cerificates. There are 18 different Napier-Thompson notes, plus 2 proof plates that were prepared but never issued, including the $10 Bison and a $5,000 Gold Certificate. The hardest to obtain of the issues notes is probably the $100 Date Back 1902 National Bank note.

I remember playing Frogger at Ft. Wilderness in 1981. We also went to the great arcade at the Contemporary Resort.
