can't that stupid troll spend his time on some other site?
I use small flathead screwdrivers to open up gameboy games. but a dead battery is no reason for a game not working, at least on classic gameboy, it just won't save your game. try blowing it.
@vasilis CONGLATURATION !!!
YOU HAVE JUST COMPLETED A GREAT VIDEO.
AND PROOVED THE JUSTICE OF OUR CULTURE
NOW GO REST OUR HEROES !
:-)
@AmbossDerRabiator At least you don't have to wait for it to load. (my internet connection is horrible, especially with HD)
The only difference between the trolls here and those doomsday cult people is that there is a definite date(, which is unknown,) at which these people will finally shut up and that is when the AVGN Movie will come out. Doomsday cult people are like "awww nothing happened... hm maybe next week". Only way for trolls not to shut up is to found a "no AVGN movie society" parallel to "flat earth society". If I had a time machine, I'd go back to 31.12.1999 just to watch their dumb faces when nothing happens after the clock strikes midnight.
btw. for good monitors, try dumpster diving. Some firms have their own dump, if they happen to do CAD, they are likely to throw away old CRT monitors which are still functional and have A-Class characteristics.
@Mike Matei: Do you happen to know or have a copy of "Spacetrek"? If this movie was just a tiny little bit more cheesy, it could outrank Plan 9 in the "so bad it's good" category. This movie has no logic holes. It has no logic (unintentionally, of course) (in Germany we say "logic holes" instead of plotholes). Best thing is it plays in the future and the space ship's computer is an Atari Stacy, which, at the time the movie was made, already was a rare antiquity of a laptop computer.
One more thing: If you have it, take care of your VCR. My copy has tape of so inferior quality it didn't work with most of my vcrs, only an old Grundig back from the early 80s when they were still being made in Germany (not Japan) did play it.
there must be a way to hack the vibration alarm of cellphones to produce different tones, then accept midi files. On the right surface it might sound similar.
@CharlesCortes erm. I got some Fairchild Channel F games with the price tag still on. Yeah, they're as expensive as today. 50 bucks for 2k of game code and 5 minutes until you get bored (>>IF<< the game was fun at all)
a ninja game where you play Golf at the same time? What's next? A Mario game where you play Tetris at the same time? Oh wait...
(I'm referring to Tuper Tario Tros.)
love the scene in the beginning where he's ranting about Dr.J and Mr.H and he's trying to stay in character while stroking his cat *awww cute*
while(true) kaka dookie buncha' shit;
@HakumenKing101 How much are diapers? If I really had to spend this much on a public toilet, I'd really consider buying some...
just a few weeks (less than a month) after christmas was over, some stores in Germany already had easter stuff.
and the superior PAL color system makes it much easier distinguishing between enemy projectiles and the background (see 3:08) they are actually bright orange. Also, tube TVs rule.
Just beat the game. No emulator, no cheats. Just a regular NES with a turbo controller (the FourScore's turbo feature, to be exact). Took me 1h15 and 3 or 4 continues. The last boss was at least SOME challenge compared to most of the other bosses (some of these should be in the top 10 easiest video game bosses).
Maybe it helped that I live in Europe (50Hz) and there was no speed corrected port of Silver Surfer here so it played at 5/6 the speed (just a little slower).
Btw the ending suckt balls. You get some dialog which you can't cancel (and takes ages) and then you see the Silver Surfer Logo (same as on title screen) with just "THE END" below and a (lame) spiral of stars in the background.
Watching your own shots helps a lot detecting walls. It's so unclear at what is background and what is foreground. What were they thinking!?
playing this game (the N64 not the C64) must really be a pain. If you need money, just sue the people who made it.
60Hz is bad enough if you want your brain to fuse the images, but in Europe we have 50Hz. I tried the Sega 3D Glasses for a few minutes at a Classic Computing Convention with no success at all. It was just all flickery.
@MichealKing He'd better rewrite and reshoot Episodes 1-3 to make them as good as Episodes 4-6 (although this will never happen)
get yourself a truckload of blank 5 1/4 inch disks, build an X1541 cable and download them all off the internet.
damn even blank disks are hard to get in huge quantities nowadays.
You can of course copy the tape games from the internet to your tape recorder using AudioTAP (check polarity first), but just the copy process let alone testing the games would take a few years.
Wait! There's an SD Card adapter for C64 cartridge port. Get yourself one of these and you can put them all on an SD card. Should even have fastload and 1541 Emu disable (for games without copy protection), so you don't have to wait ages for the games to load.
While you're at it, download some recent megademos to rid yourself off the prejudice that the commodore 64 is primitive.
James could have included "Castle of Deceit" in his Action52 review. It plays just like the Action52 platformers (like Ooze) except you don't have to tap the jump button, you can hold it. But B jumps and A attacks (reverse button bullshit), the graphics are better than A52, the music is worse (has about the same quality as the gameplay in A52. mute the tv for your ears sake) and the game sucks buttfucks.
I played it for maybe 5 minutes. You get the key, you die, you lose the key, the key doesn't come back, you reset the console (or emulator) you get the key, you don't die, you find a door that lets you in, there is a room with a key, you get it, it doesn't let you back out, you shut the fucking thing off. Only good thing about this game is I have to mention the enemies try to avoid your attacks and their AI is pretty decent.
@myself: Lickle is "Little Samson" in US.
