Apparently we are as good as James!

nathan,

Is that California Games?
Coz when I was playing it against my brothers, my score/time was always relative to "twat" and "knob-head". 🤔

nathan,

@ausretrogamer
Ah, very good. 👍
I'm at that unfortunate point in my life where, as a retrogamer who emulates everything on his PC (and GP2x).. I just have too much stuff. And I'm not investigating systems I never had, though I'm sure I'd enjoy the heck out of them, just because I don't have to time. 😋

That said: I'll reconsider this position when I retire. 😎

The first Sony Walkman (1979), the TPS-L2 , it’s still as beautiful as ever. 😍

@ausretrogamer yeah I just looked it up. Very cool.

nathan,

@ausretrogamer
I’m on-board with most of the features they put in this beastie. But.. separate volume controls for left and right headphone? Sure, they can be operated together. But that’s something I would’ve simplified to a single, more robust, control. 🤔

This may be controversial, but we’ll call it out, ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕖𝕟𝕘𝕖 𝕠𝕗 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝔾𝕒𝕥𝕠𝕣 is the best Game Boy pinball game, period!
Oh yeah, and 𝕮𝖆𝖘𝖙𝖑𝖊𝖛𝖆𝖓𝖎𝖆: 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕬𝖉𝖛𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖚𝖗𝖊 is absolutely rubbish!

@ausretrogamer Revenge of the Gator was my first video pinball game, and I love it to this day. I played it again early in the summer, for the first time in decades, and it's still excellent.

I also had Castlevania Adventure 30-odd years ago, and I think I beat it. I'm not sure that can be taken as an opinion on how good or bad it was, though. There were Game Boy games that I remember playing a ton - Cosmo Tank was one of my favorites - that aren't considered all that great.

disidro,

@ausretrogamer totally agree on the pinball game! I had it on my OG Game Boy in the 90’s and I still play it today from time to time

@imalcolm great memory! It was Asteroids that caught our eye when visiting a local department store. It was instant love.

@ausretrogamer
Cheers! Asteroids is still a dyed-in-the-wool classic for the system. 😀

@ausretrogamer I remember seeing this game in magazines of the day and being blown away.

After playing it, the best compliment that I can give is that it looks great in screenshots.

Getting a bit lazier in our old age, so emulation on the go is the way to go ;-)

@disidro it’s the AyaNeo Air. It runs most GC games (haven’t tested them all though). There is the option to crank up the TDP to boost performance, but battery life is significantly reduced.

@disidro you are welcome 😊

We couldn’t resist, we bought @AntstreamArcade - 𝐿𝒾𝒻𝑒𝓉𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝒫𝒶𝓈𝓈 𝐸𝒹𝒾𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 for our Xbox Series S!

First game we had to play?
No, not Galaga, it was Double Dragon!

@ausretrogamer is this a buy once kind of thing? Or is it subscription based or something?

theboyrichjohn,

@ausretrogamer I'm really interested to know how you find it. I'm tempted myself, maybe by the annual sub first of all to see what I think of it and how much I'd use it.

Kmart (Australia) electronics department was the coolest place to check out in the 80s

@ausretrogamer I loved going to the Kmart computer section in the 80s. I may have written the following on their Commodore 64s:

@apzpins I’ll have to check how many they have now as it seems there’s a few more since the last update.

@ausretrogamer I had one of those red Speedkings BITD for my Amiga - looked great but functionally absolutely terrible.

@ausretrogamer Same gameplay as Game And Watch? The DK Jr looks to be the same as the GW I had back in the day.

@danielbowen yeah, exactly the same gameplay
