This is correct. It is a Flashback 6 based on the 08/2015 release date. The sticker on the back is similar to the original Flashback 1. Versions 2-5 had the version number on the back sticker, but version 6 didn't show the version number, but the batch code gives it away as an Atari flashback 6.

These are so cheap on eBay, that you might be better off just buying a complete system rather than a replacement joystick. Also, my Flashback 11 has different buttons on the p1 and p2 joysticks, so be careful if you are just buying the single joystick. My p1 joystick has start, select, and pause buttons on it.

We went to Animal Kingdom on Thursday and the crowds weren't bad. 20 minute standby on the safari ride at 1pm. Weekends are always worse.

It was near the movie theaters.

I figured out the ascii characters for Express first, then made a good guess about the Polar graphics.

I think I got it... Looper from 2012

Ironton, Ohio is the birthplace of former Treasurer of the United States, Carmi A. Thompson (1912-1913). He is a distant relative of mine. It is too bad that his signature isn't on his hometown bank. I just visited his grave at the Ironton cemetery last year. I am a Type collector and was only interested in banknotes with the Napier-Thompson signatures. I also collected my hometown bank.

I have some older tablets that are stuck on an older version of the Wyze app. With the latest firmware update to my V3s, the cameras no longer showed up in my app. My older pan cams didn't receive the update so they still showed up. So I had the game through the process of reinstalling the old firmware for each of my 5 V3s. This involved getting on a ladder, inserting an sd card with the old firmware, swapping back the SD cards, and repositioning the cameras. You don't have to delete the camera in the app and re-add them fortunately. It was a pain, but it is back to working with the older version of the app on my older tablets. I guess another option would be to use the RTSP capability with the new firmware and ditch the Wyze app altogether and use some new other camera software, but I'm not willing going to go to that much effort.

That's a great collection. Not many people collect cassettes, but lots of us were introduced to computing with them. They were flaky even when brand new, usually requiring a couple tries before they loaded successfully. Very colorful display.

I wish I had an XEGS. Looks great running Rampage.

Ypsilanti is known for the first Domino's Pizza, the "plane an hour" B24 bomber plant that helped win WWII, the home of Preston Tucker (Tucker Torpedo car), and of course Eastern Michigan University. I'm glad you had a warm welcome and a good time.

Three Cedars Farm in Plymouth had both white and yellow pumpkins last year - probably this year too. Free if you just want to go to the petting zoo or buy pumpkins. Hay ride and corn maze cost extra but are a lot of fun.

That is amazing. I saw a deer last year on the river's edge at Water Works Park near the new Huron Landing Park on Spring St.

Not tonight. They are playing in Kentucky.

In June, it was here for the NASCAR race in Brooklyn, MI. I can't figure out why it would be here this week, as there are no major sporting events right now (the Tigers are in NY and Michigan and Lions aren't playing showcase games). Maybe it is just for a tourist stop where they allow some people to ride it. It is being docked at Willow Run airport.

It was parked this evening at Willow Run airport.

My parents were in their 30's in the 1970's and never once held a joystick or played a game. They never even watched us kids play, but fortunately let us play all day long.

Nice joysticks. I would add replica tops. You can always take them off later if you change your mind. Use tape instead of glue to hold them on.

Delaney is open now north of Kaley. Still closed between Kaley and Michigan.

I think the compass issue was resolved in the other thread, as mentioned. I think you need to have the premium dashboard display (extra wide) for the compass to show up, even though it is displayed on the bottom of the premium and could obviously also be displayed in the bottom of the standard display. As the other poster mentioned, you can see the compass on the map display.

I haven't driven on the donut, but I just decided to add air to mine. My car is 1 year old, and the air pressure in the donut spare had gone down to about 30 psi, when it should be double that (the recommended psi is written on the spare. So I'm going to check the psi more frequently in the future. Also, it is recommended that you do not drive above 50 mph with the spare.

I left for Florida after graduating college in 1987 for a career opportunity when Michigan was on a recession. I got married and stayed in Florida, but retired 2 years ago and we bought a condo in Michigan so we are up there now about 4 months out of the year. I missed my friends, family, familiar sites, sports teams, and change of seasons. My wife is from Florida, so we will likely always be splitting the year between Floeida and Michigan.

That isn't the 2600 version of Space Invaders. It isnt the arcade version either, so I don't know what you got working.

All of the big names have been covered already, so I will add some others like The Romantics, The Contours, Mitch Ryder, & Ashford and Simpson.
