Disgaea 4 is the only one of those I played. I used to like Rampage in the arcades and played Rampage: World Tour on the Midway collections. Haven't played the Wii game.
I never even heard of the 2600 games. I did play a 2600 game called Tutankhamun which I believe was a 2600 version of a Konami arcade game.
My laptop is 7 years old and falling apart. I might get a new one, but it'll probably be a more utilitarian machine since I don't really game with Steam. I've seen the gaming laptops though, they look kinda cool.
That's awesome. I'd love to have a DK ornament for my tree this year.
I'll have to look into the Dig-Dug cabinet. It's cool you have a full-size Dig-Dug machine. Someday I want a full-sized DK machine, LOL. Since this company and Johnny Turbo's Arcade are bringing out Data East games, I'm hoping that Atomic Runner Chelnov is in the works for a Switch release.
Solaris was really good for a 2600 game.It was the last 2600 game my childhood best friend got before he got a NES. It was a better Star Raiders sequel than the official Star Raiders II from Atari (which started out as a tie-in to The Last Starfighter). Smart of Doug Neubauer to hang on to the rights to the game, but I wish we'd get it on one of the regular consoles.
When I was a kid, I always wanted the Coleco tabletop arcade games even though they were primitive even by the standards of the early 80s. Every once in awhile a friend from school would bring one (usually Pac-Man or Frogger) and we'd all crowd around and play it. These mini-arcades look cool enough, and I've seen them at Target, Walmart, and at Toys R Us before it went belly-up. Unfortunately, I doubt they'll ever have the games I'd really want - Nintendo's arcade games - in mini-arcade form. In particular, I'd love to have a minaturized Donkey Kong machine with the marquee and bezel graphics and all that. I'm just glad that Hamster finally brought DK and Mario Bros out on the Switch so I can play them there. I also liked the design of the old Dig-Dug arcade cabinets made by Atari, did they have those there?
I have the Atari Flashback Classics on PS4, but I kind of want them for Switch since I've already got so many classic arcade games on Switch. Cool that volume 3 has 5200 games. Still no Solaris though. Guess they couldn't get Doug Neubauer on board. :(
Cheetos and M&Ms when I was a kid, but when I was a teenager, those PB Crisps snacks that Planters made. They were like 3-D Nutter Butters.
I never was dedicated enough to get a CRT for retro-gaming. I know a lot of people don't like how pixelated older games seem to be on HDTVs, but I never noticed as huge a difference as others. I guess I also have memories of my first big-screen TV, which was a 36 inch Toshiba CRT. Moving that TV was a three-man operation. Ugh. Even in pawn shops CRTs are getting tough to find anymore.
Between Arcade Archives, Johnny Turbo, and Namco Museum, however, I have turned my Switch into quite an old-school arcade, albeit one that can also play games like Breath of the Wild and Doom, LOL.
I went to Disneyland when I was 5. I can't remember much about it.
For some reason I thought you went to the actual Disneyland, LOL. I know there was a Universal Studios game on the Gamecube. You basically did janitorial duties to unlock stuff.
Punch-Out, Xenoblade, and The Last Story. Skyward Sword with optional motion controls.
I tried Fortnite a few times. The only way I've ever made it into the top 20 is by hiding out and doing nothing until the radiation storm kills me, LOL. I guess it's not bad, but it's definitely overhyped in my book.
Hospital food is definitely overpriced. When my dad was in the Maricopa County Hospital in Phoenix I always went out and bought food for the family. The hospital also played Brahms's "Lullaby" over the PA system every time a baby was born.
I wondered how Labo worked. It's not my cup of tea, but it's a pretty novel concept. Reminds me of peripherals I used to see in the 80s.
