Oh dear, that game looks bad! Positively hilarious! Did you play it through? I hope not... No, I didn't. Once you reach the second stage, like in the video, it gets stupid hard. Not hard in a good way either. Between the choppy animations and really bad AI, if you can call it that, the farthest I …

Ok. Next on the list. A 200GB SATA drive formatted and tested. What was the last computer photo I put up on Vogons with Skeletor on the screen? First right answer gets the drive. Guess every 10 minutes. Lower 48 states only please. Filename hd.JPG File size 1.78 MiB Views 960 views

Absolutely beautiful condition. I would have driven far for that as well. P.S. - Does it not have graphics capabilities? Skeletor should be on the screen my friend. 😀

I see. It did not look familiar to me and I see why. I like the screen and color scheme.

Back in the late 90s a company in Orlando, FL came across a hoard of brand new Amiga 2000 HD models sitting in a warehouse if memory serves me right. They started selling off the NIB systems for just a few hundred bucks at the time and would even customize them. I bought one, played with it for six …

I finally HAS tEh joystick for my old PC that doesn't suck. The CH Flightstick Pro. My favorite X-Wing joystick from my all time favorite joystick company. It works great! It was covered in some yellow goo, but I cleaned it up with contact cleaner and alcohol. I might have to go inside though to …

I like that hard drive pedestal holding up your floppy drives. Use what you have at hand. Nice looking system. :lol: Thanks, was wondering if someone would notice. The cable Radio Shack put in there is so short that it's nearly impossible to run them out of the system. :angry: I am sure you are …

I bought that game back when it was released. ^^^^ I don't remember it ever having those sort of install issues with hidden files, etc., but it has been almost 25 years since I played the thing. I do remember being more impressed with the packaging more so than the actual game. Even back in those …

I just love old offbeat shareware floppy disks and CDs and I ran across this one in a thrift store the other day. It even advertises three of the titles are fully registered! Ooooh boy! I uploaded a video of one of the fully registered titles called True Blood despite there being no blood in the …

Installed a new CD-ROM in my Pentium 75MHz machine. I was hoping the aqua turbo button would match the power button, but close enough.. :) Maybe I'll plasti-dip the power button if I can find the right color. http://i.imgur.com/pbN05Zel.jpg I am not one to tell anyone what to do with their hardware …

Getting ready to get back on the road which means it's time to thin out my retro collection down to what I actually want to keep. Have three Dell OptiPlex machines that I am disassembling and all parts are spoken for. Two Gateway computers which are G6-400s I am parting out since they have nice …

I've done that. Skipped on a hardware item only for it to haunt my dreams and I go searching for it later. Half the time it's gone by then. Anyway, nice case and at least it got rescued.
