Nothing like putting on 4 hours of game sack to fall asleep to.

I'm so glad you kept doing your thing when Dave left bro.i miss him,but this is by far my favorite channel on the tube.thanks joe.

[@SuperPhunThyme9]

Odd that he hasn't even come back to visit. Him and Joe have always been 💯. I know what the reason normally is, but i'll leave that secret to the RP-ers.

I stood in line at my local Walmart (in Las Vegas New Mexico) for 5 hours, to get the Original Xbox on Launch day, I got Halo and NFL Fever. Such a cool console and great memories.

[@bionicgeekgrrl]

This brought back some memories. I had a Toshiba msx 1 back in the 80s. But in the UK most games were on tape instead of cartridge, had a lot of fun with it and wish I still had it as it was the first computer I had (alongside a oric), so have fond memories of it, though I don't recall most of the games showcased here, perhaps we got a very different collection? Interesting point about Microsoft's investment in the msx, they wrote the basic on every system and also supplied the basic for a number of other systems including apple 2 and others. They also made addon boards for the apple 2 back then as well.

[@tylersays-]

This is like nostalgic comfort food for my brain.

[@WhiteNorthStar1]

"With the backlight, the screen was almost visible." Solid material... fun!

I especially like the sound effect of the driver shitting himself when you wreck. Now that is what the snes was made for lol.

[@deku812]

RE: the 2016 SNES episode, I think there are enough games left out of the SNES overview to do a part 2. I remember spending entire summers engrossed in KOEI's simulation and strategy games, and it even got a port of an Amiga game called Utopia, which was like a Sim City x RTS. Of course there were also lots of RPGs and multiplats to cover.

[@Nick-qy3hu]

I'm going to start with, "Pilot Wings" kicked ass. 🙂 I will continue with, Actraiser 1 and 2 were awesome. The gliding in part 2 worked well. It served it's purpose. 🙂 They were both excellent but difficult games that I haven't seen the ending for...

[@Grind24hours]

299Ks! Awesome! Almost 300, let's have a grind-fest when you're there. Favourite SNES -game: Chrono Trigger! I am downing a few beers watching Joe and Dave, two of my favourite KZbinrs. Keep on grinding, guys!

In the Analogue NT Mini section they talk about the fact the company is planning adapters for other systems. By now they have adapters for cartridges for the Game Gear, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Atari Lynx and Turbo Grafx16. Systems now go for $220,- Adapters go for $30,-

[@stevenstark-com]

for secret of mana, the problem is that you're not playing with friends, this one uses the multi-tap for a multiplayer rpg where you can play as any of the characters at the same time. that's what makes it good.

Hey, when you were mentioning the RetroUSB AVS, at the part where you saw the FCEUX filter and didn't know what that meant, that's the name of a pretty great standalone NES emulator. I reckon that's the default colors before you apply color filters in the emulator. Some people, like myself, prefer it for whatever reason. Just thought I'd mention it!
