Awesome! Don't know what to think about that Sonic trailer though, it was... interesting.

Ok guys. A slight reset. I forgot to mention in this latest giveaway a reminder I do not pay international shipping. Way too expensive. So U.S. addresses shipping is free, but not international shipping. My bad.

So once again...

Prize: Mint copy of Armour-Geddon for the PC. Used only once. Complete in box. Released by Psygnosis in 1991.

First one to answer this correctly wins the prize: How many gas masks are visible between the time marker 1:10 and 1:15 in the new Sonic the Hedgehog trailer?

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Found this battered, but not broken GeForce 256 DDR 32MB video card at a recycle center. It works! It is missing its mounting bracket and HSF. The HSF is an easy fix, but finding the proper mounting bracket might be more of a challenge. Either way, since it is working just fine as far as I can tell, I thought I would offer it up here since these cards can be a trick to find cheap.

Strictly sticking with number games from here on. It's boring, but reliable for me. I only ship to U.S. addresses at no cost. International shipping you have to cover. Too expensive.

Choose a number between 256 and 300. First correct guess gets the card. You can guess every ten minutes.

I already own two 256 DDRs so I'll pass up, but I wish I hadn't missed the Armour-Geddon giveaway, that was a very unique game on the Amiga, whoever got it, enjoy 😀

I actually bought that game over at the Goodwill auction website new in box strictly to archive it's contents for Moby Games as many of the docs and paper materials were missing from the DOS entry. I urge anyone who has boxed copies of games to check Moby Games for their titles and scan any materials that might be missing. Preservation of these games in any form I think is important as we start to move towards streaming only gaming which wont be able to be preserved easily. Mobile gaming is having that problem already. Games disappear forever with very few records of their existence. Sad IMO.

Well, hopefully this wont. I only tested it as far as post and a few basic DOS tests as I did not want to run it any longer since the cooler is missing.
