@ Felsir and ToddH - Great to see old faces dropping in! What a long strange trip it's been. You still vectorizing Felsir? drV- Yeah, it's huge fun to see the kids clearing levels and learning tricks I did when I was a kid. The other day my son was playing Mario Bros. with my daughter when she had to go finish some chore or other. Rather than lose their accomplishment of getting to "the fly level" together he showed her where to position her character at the lower edge of screen where the turtles/crabs/flies never go so he could keep playing without her losing her lives. I never knew that trick, it was like watching some other kid at an arcade and picking up tricks. Silly but fun. My son is going crazy to play New Super Mario Bros on Wii and I should really just cave and buy one. Been toying with setting up Dolphin on Mission Control, but my core duo can't play it any faster than 30% speed. Need to upgrade to an i7... |

I just popped in for a moment and decided to check the thread for old times sake.... DUDE! Congratulations! Such a labor of love. A true testament to the BYOAC spirit! You sir should get an award.... like a lifetime achievement Mamey or something! It must be such a relief to finally have the machine done. Now, how much time do you spend playing on it? :) I miss talking with you man. Great times! |

Long time!! I play on it probably every other day. The kids play more than that... As much as we let them. Actually using it has been one of the bigger surprises, as I thought it'd mostly be a conversation piece/nostalgia shrine. For me it helps that I got Donkey Kong II and there's no continue game, so playing feels like it did way back when. |
