^And a bit edgy...the calling card of the 90s.

I think the last YDKJ game I played was the iOS version from 2011. I didn't know that YDKJ was still around with this Jackbox deal!

So, is Jackbox the old "You Don't Know Jack" games from the 90s???

I guess 4. Though, I have not beaten any of them. My first RE was the Director's Cut of RE1 when I got a PSOne as a college graduation gift. I could never get through the game. All of the back tracking and, what seemed like, downtime between encounters to me was super boring. I tried playing it again when the remaster came out on XBox One...I got pretty far...probably the farthest I ever got, but just stopped due to life and then erased it off of the XBox's hard drive. One day... Anyway, the most fun I have had is probably with 4. I like the atmosphere in it. However, to this day, I still have never played RE2 and just got the remake for Xmas for PS4. I haven't installed it yet, but it is on the docket to play this year...sometime.

Oh yeah...that IS awesome. The screen really pops. The only console meant to be played in the dark???

You discovering Pepper II in/around 2015, some 30 years after it released in arcades, impresses me.

@Mega TankLet's just try Game 3 right now for me.

Yeah, I have a few of Binary Star's offerings. He is a good guy. I won his contest he had many years back for the Vectrex 2014 Xmas Cart with USB port for decorating your Vectrex for Xmas. Only 11 of the USB carts were made and I got number 11 from that contest. He even included the USB-powered, light-up Christmas tree to place on top of the Vectrex while you play. Some of the other, older Vectrex collectors were mad that they did not get one of the first 10 via pre-order, and then even more mad when I won the 11th by random drawing (and I only dabble in Vectrex collecting). Unfortunately, I don't do Facebook, and get most of my Vectrex news from AtariAge.

Sure! Thanks. I appreciate it.

I'm not getting these newsletters, even though I have signed up for them and nothing is in my trash/spam folder! Hmm...I got the Game&Watch one, but none of the others since.

6 for me. It is good for what it is, given how awesome vector games were back then. I have a Vectrex sitting behind me in the next room. Hasn't been played in over a year, but fun to have. The very small homebrew scene for it (over on AtariAge) is pretty good too.

I didn't get a chance to vote in this poll, but would have given it around a 6.5 or 7. It was the console that brought me back to console gaming after being exclusively in PC gaming for about 6 or 7 years. But, after getting the GC and having many college pals playing Halo 1 over system link networking, I moved promptly over to the original XBox soon after. Nowadays, my GameCube is mostly used to play GameBoy games with the attached GameBoy Player peripheral.

Gave it a 9. I was, of course, a Nintendo fan boy...but when Sonic 1 and especially 2 came out, I salivated for the Genesis. And then when my brother and I learned that only the Genesis version of Mortal Kombat was going to have the fatalities, that was it for us. We pooled together years of Xmas and Birthday money to buy a model 1 Genesis right before MK1 came out for the system. It came with Sonic 2 as a pack-in and then a rebate to get Sonic 1 free in the mail. The month after, I think my dad bought MK1 for us, after he saw how we worked together to purchase a Genesis. We had a SNES before (and, of course, a NES and Atari/Coleco Gemini), but that late summer 1993 made me a Sega fanboy for a few years before going to exclusive DOS/Win95 gaming. Coupled with getting a Sega CD that Xmas of 1993 too, I greatly prefer the Genesis/Sega CD combo over the SNES to this day. The score of 10, however, will always be reserved for the NES!

How far from Cincy are you...being in Indiana?

And that reminds me... @Bearcat-Doug and other Cincinnati crew...once this COVID crap has subsided, we should do a meet up at one of the Arcade Legacy locations!

Wow, awesome! I hope he gets the new Northern KY location open soon! My family and I loved going to the old place!

^Is it? There are three Arcade Legacy arcades here (I think the Kentucky one is supposed to open in a new venue soon). I don't know the owner personally, but have had dealings with people who have. Pretty cool if the Arcade Legacy owner is here on VGS!

We have a cab here in the Cincinnati area at Arcade Legacy: Bar Edition. I haven't been in awhile, even before COVID, but it is a pretty big Killer Queen scene, along with pinball, at the place.

My dad is a retired CPA and he does our taxes. I will let him know that he may be able to send it forward with e-filing? I am not sure if I want to be in the "beta batch" though. I don't want them screwing up my return or my new kid's stimulus!

Awesome that you have an Arm Wrestling! You don't see those very often. Another KLOV hotness cab. As you can tell from my avatar pic, Punch-Out!! is also on my "dream list" for future cab acquisitions. Oh, and you can't go wrong with Track n Field...especially the cocktail/island version (like Atari Football...where you stand up to play!).

Lunar Lander... Zoo KEEPER! Mr. FRICKIN' DO! You have some of the KLOV hotness right there. Mr. Do...man, if I could ever find one of those in the region at a reasonable price...

I am ready to file, but can't do e-filing until February 12??? Man, I am getting a huge return and just want to file NOW!!! Got to claim the 4th child we had last year right before the pandemic hit the US (literally, the first week in March he was born was the last week of normalcy), so getting his stimulus money along with the big return.

I still can't believe you guys haven't tried Killer Queen Black on Switch! EDIT: Oh crap, right above me! @drxandyI had mentioned Killer Queen back in the fall, but it seemed not to get any traction. VERY FUN arcade party game on the Switch! And yes, it started as an arcade game back in..2018?...2019? That version is 10 players and there are only a couple cabs throughout the US to play it. If you ever get a chance to play the arcade version with 10 people...you'll have a blast!

^Thanks! Ready to go!

@Mega TankIt says I haven't purchased that map yet? I am sure you explain it somewhere in this thread, but is there something I need to turn in with my D12 coins?
