Gunboat is ok. Falcon is functionally ok but very boring save for the last mission. There's worse on the PCE.

Instead of posting shotty photoshop, I should actually sit down and play the game for more than 5 mins. Not that i'm missing out or anything, but I'm sure the humour would go further.

QUIZ TIME:

10 points: Name the full title and publisher of the TG-16 game that the "Funboat" image is from.
(6 point bonus: What was the "list price" of this title?)

15 points: Name the pcefxer who recreated the "TG-16" font used in the image.
(6 bonus points: What is the official name of this font?)


REMEMBER: Cheaters cheat themselves.

Lonely Guys blurry sports illustrated fun time adventure
Excite software
$150 in 1993 or about $254 in today dollars

The official tagline was "Now with 500% more blur"
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

You say "blur" I say "pixelation"

Hahhahahhhaha.

If only!

Personally, it wasn't until the interwebz in late 90's that I learned about obscure TG-16 stuff.

Also, I honestly forget the name of the forum member who made the font I have been using so frequently (I have it noted somewhere, but not on my phone, apparently).
