teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[NightWolve]

Prepare to taste justice...SHOVEL JUSTICE!! I beat the first level again (as I did at Best Buy when I first played it). I didn't realize how much more it borrowed from Zelda II besides the down-thrust sword attack & bounce as those enemy knights that you had to jump over and attack from behind in a certain, planned way or with the down-thrust are here too! They require a bit more patient strategy over the usual brute force, let's-get-on-with-it way... Nice challenge, but when you're lazy it could easily become frustrating as it was for good ole Zelda II.

It's more than just a nod to classic retro gaming goodness like Megaman, Zelda II, etc. it actually had help from the original Megaman composer, Manami Matsumae, who wrote 2 tracks for it, so FYI!!! That also heavily influenced my decision to buy it even with my backlog and limited playtime.



Can you dig it ?? The last knight that made fun of his shovel, well, he's not laughing anymore, let's just put it that way...

Not much going on. Got his from a buddy of mine who's saving monies for new tires.
Looks like this unit could work to hookup my Dreamcast VGA to S-Video or component to my Toshiba CRT. So far I only tried with an old PC and an HDTV and it looks fine. I'll be home on Wednesday and try with the CRT.

I can't see 'em either.  It appears you have to be signed in to google to view 'em.

I can't see them as well and I am signed into google. The plot thickens.

Gotta be invited to view?  All I know is I'm like Shultz and I see nothing.


The family's old Atari 2600 has come home to roost with me.  It's a four switch woody model with a couple paddles (borked), a pair of third party joysticks (also borked), a covered storage thing, two game folder thingies, and a few games (see below).  After cleaning, two still aren't working. 

Asteroids
Barnstorming
Centipede
Combat (DOA)
Crash Dive
Defender (DOA)
Donkey Kong
ET
Frogger
Journey Escape
Jungle Hunt
Kangaroo
M*A*S*H
Missile Command
Pac Man
Pitfall
Q*Bert
Stampede
Super Breakout (seems to work, but I've no paddles with which to fully test)
Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back
Towering Inferno
Wizard of Wor

Ok, so this is the unit I was talking about the other day. The KW-PCTV-1600, VGA input then an output of either RGB, Component, S-Video and Composite. Tomorrow I'll try and see if it works with a Dreamcast and a Toshiba CRT (480i component input) and see if it's any better than using the regular composite cable.



This time I'm using flickr and http instead of https

Its design makes me think of the ten key pad.
