8-bit guerilla

So he sold it for 150 and then that dude got 1700 for it!? Bummer. why don’t people look this shit up first, man?!

Wait.. so it doesn’t actually smell like her vajay, right? It’s a joke she made and the title stuck from what the article says. So our topic is bizarre marketing? And I assume in the US? Censorship is totally different here. I feel like weird marketing, (which is a relative concept), happens in most countries, and the US is just hopping onboard more these days. in this new sort of nothing sacred-everythings offensive mentality and how crazy products are, we’ve probably reached a “ where do we go from here?” Issue.

Any ever had an international package held up here? Ordered nov28th arrived here on the 17th of dec 2019 then again on the 20th?, and it has not moved. Reviews on this facility are atrocious and I’m a little worried I’ll never see this package worth 1400$... China post was on it too! two three weeks to get it over sees just to have usps blow it. I’m wondering if it gets a new tracking number once it’s in the states that I just havnt been updated on.

Looks like I got a colony 7

Well wait, what about you? Do you have anything you’d like to share to kick this off?

If we do this here, Put me on the list!

Oh BUMMER! I missed this too! Oh ...well, not really I guess cuz the casual cart collaborative dude is perfect, but I totally would have entered!

There it is! thank you. I swear I looked for it. I’m the same way when I’m looking in the fridge. If you wanna hide something, put it right in front of me.

May have missed the post about an update or the like, but I was just wondering who did the new VGS logo. Looks dope... that is all.

Right. As if it were remastered. I just meant the sound samples sound authentic not reproduced.

I think I decided to go with a Stratovox cab. One, it’s one of the first arcade games with voice sound if not THE first, 2 it has chrome T-mold, and 3 the bezel kicks ass! i have confirmed it’s a stencil set and not a sticker, and boards can be cheap. still trying to find out how many games went in these cabs. Confirmed 4...

Hagane. Just kidding. No one has ever beaten that..... i did beat zombie nation like 9 years ago

You also have to figure that 90% of people through all these time periods acted exactly the same, and booed changes in the new world. My gram died at 96 years old, and she went from horse and buggy to an 08’ Malibu. But she was probably the same person for at least 85 years. technology still moves pretty fast and trends are the shortest lived they've ever been. I bet on paper, it’s moving faster and more drastically than ever. Just look at inflation these days. When we are older(er) and reading about it, I bet they find a way to make the changes more distinct. i used to scoff at the idea of cell phones in my late teens early 20’s, and the most amazing thing a phone could do then was chirp and txt and play centipede. Which would be nice if that’s all they did still in my opinion. (case in point) Also the amount of information given to the people historically was mostly local. If they cared to hear about it at all. So when written about I’m sure new things seemed very drastic and few and far between while new shit was happening everyday. Perspective I guess

Did he redo the music or just remaster it? It sounds identical to me.

A few months ago I acquired an old flat top deep taito cab that was converted to a cyber police ESWAT for whatever reason. Probably happened in the 90s when fighters and shmups were popular, and no one wanted to play crazy climber.... anyway, I want to do a full restoration and revert this cab back to a TAITO dedicated unit. I’m finding it difficult to locate a good archive of TAITO through the ages to figure out exactly what years this older deeper flat top body style was around. Cabinets like jungle hunt and jungle king,elevator action etc are easy to find parts and art sets for, but not for this body style. I’m wondering if anyone knows a good TAITO history reference they could refer me to. I just want to know which games were in these cabs to choose for my project. I know it’s just a stencil kit for these cabs, as opposed to an adhesive style side art, but I want to match color with the appropriate games depending on what I choose. May just say fuck it and make it jungle king anyway, but that wouldn’t really be a restoration... thanks

Some of the funniest shit I ve ever heard of. The entire thing is so awesomely bizarre. These are my people... i wonder why the walls in this kids living room are covered in plastic, like that Huey Lewis and the news scene in American Psycho...

Been trying to get my hands on the roulette wheel

I have a tree of life sized oak tree in my driveway about the same size. It paves the driveway in acorns every other year and there is non stop tree jizz on my trucks all summer. Cut those historic old assholes down!!!

Loose, also I started grabbing ugly games too a little while ago. Can find good prices on mid-rare games that way like this! Check out what I just got in the mail for like 20 bones!

Sounds cool. I’d need a better explanation so I didn’t mess it up but 8-bits In! Edit: formerly daneNES 100% positive NA feedback and my eBay feedback is also flawless

You know... I never considered the monkees until this thread. My sister used to love the show, but I never took them seriously as a band. Just checked em out again and they were pretty awesome! Way cooler dudes than the Beatles anyway..Lennon was kinda a prick. And ringo...well... he’s ringo. Paul and George are alright tho. So, are the monkees basically sober Beatles?

The monkee mobile is volumes cooler than the monkees or the Beatles. Agreed

Sure they did.

I’m in Jacksonville Florida. Rained up until Xmas. Felt like that scene in home alone when they’re driving around rainy Florida missing Kevin wishing for snow.
