Re: Good anti-theft tips

Nah, she was never convicted. I called the cops when it happened, then supplied the detectives with the craigslist links when I saw them pop up a couple of weeks later (ditto the 2600 I found at the store). The cops basically said it was a domestic dispute and that I needed to take her to court if I...

I'm a huge Beatles fan, but my hatred of all things Rock Band/Guitar Hero far outweighs my Fab Four love. :)

Re: So what kind of cell phone do you guys have?

Cell phones. BAH! Hate 'em. I have the newer version of this phone: http://static.zoovy.com/img/replaceyourcell/-/7/a645_3.jpg ... which is the cheapest Alltel phone you can get. I literally walked into the store and said "Give me the cheapest camera phone you have". Voila. I'll be upgradi...

Re: Good anti-theft tips

Good advice, and it sucks that this kind of crap still happens everyday. One tip I would like to add is to keep a log of all your systems' serial numbers and sticker info. Not only does it make a handy reference, it is absolutely vital to turning up stolen systems once they make their way to the paw...

I hope it comes back as well. It and Retrogamer are about the only two recent mags I read with any degree of regularity.

Very good review Darryl! I had that game when I was a kid and would have never remembered it if you hadn't posted your review.

Re: Let's Discuss why we collect retro games

Great vid Rob! I collect Retro games mainly to recapture my youth. Same reason I still read comics, it reminds me of when things were better. Before I "grew up". It's so refreshing to pick up a game and instantly be taken back to age nine. And overall, the games are just better on the old ...

Re: Etiquette when unsatisfied with an online purchase

Same here. If it were Ebay I would chalk it up to someone that didn't know what they were doing, but on CTCW you're dealing with other collectors who know the faults of the systems they sell and shouldn't be trying to get over on fellow retrogamers. While the two functional problems you have are com...

Re: Light Games projection system

Wow, talk about a rush of repressed memories! As soon as I saw that picture I remember my friend Joey having that system when I was a kid. I remember it not being very fun after a few minutes. Joey's folks ordered everything from QVC (Home Shopping Network) and I guarantee you this is where his mode...
