  1. Next time you need to make a call, watch six hours of Schwarzenegger movies, eat something insanely deep fried, and drive around in a lifted Ram 3500. That'll have you talking like Brad Garrett in no time.
  2. I really liked Letters from Whitechapel, a strategy game where one player is Jack the Ripper and three to four others are the police. I have a friend who is into games that I like to call "resource management" games, like Civilization and Cosmic Encounters. I think they get kind of boring if you're not well versed in them.
  3. I never really got the woman/cat meme, but then I saw these.
  4. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/company/1143-nintendo?platform=0&year=0&region=1&devpub=0 ?
  5. I think I saw Braveheart post in the sealed collecting forum. Daria's been pretty busy with her YouTube channel, so she wasn't posting much lately. Hope she does show up at some point.
  6. Yeah, Blade Buster came out in 2010, developed by the High Level Challenge project. I remember everyone was like "Woah!" when it hit the scene.
  7. I've definitely had an interest in them in the arcade and in looking at consoles that I didn't own that had a lot of shooters. Definitely got into a lot of NES shooters just from liking 8 bit NES graphics in general.
  8. I like that one because the controls are smooth. It's fun to dodge stuff.
  9. Even if some were on the up and up, enough scams exist that there is no way of being sure that the one you enter is legit. Raffles themselves are shaky enough grounds legal wise. There's a reason NintendoAge banned them, and why they are banned here.
  10. I have a friend who insists it's not Christmas season until he hears the following three songs. The Kinks - Father Christmas Trans Siberian Orchestra - Carol of the Bells Bruce Springsteen - Santa Claus is Comin' to Town
  11. Gun.Smoke, yes, it scrolls. It basically uses a modified 1942 engine. Guerilla War is a run and gun, IMO.
  12. Standard platformer - Super Mario Bros Action platformer - Ninja Gaiden Run and Gun - Contra Adventure - Crystalis (almost went Zelda, but Crystalis is just more refined) Shooter - Gun-Nac (it's just too fun, and not too hard; Life Force would be another contender) Standard puzzle - Tetris RPG - Final Fantasy Racing - Eliminator Boat Duel (or Formula One: Built to Win if you want to stick to cars) Sports - Tecmo Super Bowl, Blades of Steel, or Baseball Stars (sports are so different, hard to pick.) Strategy - Uncharted Waters (don't know this that well) Gameshow - Jeopardy or Super Jeopardy Point and Click - Maniac Mansion Pinball - Rock N Ball Arcade - Donkey Kong Jr or Ms. Pac-Man Tengen version Casino - Vegas Dream Zapper - Duck Hunt or Gotcha I forgot Beat-em-up. I'll throw in River City Ransom.
  13. I can also recommend some more obscure ones if you want to delve into the Famicom. Stuff like Cosmic Epsilon, Attack Animal Gakuen, Exed Exes, and B-Wings.
  14. If I can beat it, anyone can beat it. It just takes persistence.
  15. Gun Nac (though a tad easy) Zanac (though balls tough) Recca Gradius II 1943 Darius Gaiden Blazing Lazers Crisis Force Uchuu Keibitai SDF I can go on and on...
  16. At work we start putting up holiday decorations on December 1st, but we have several faiths represented, so it's more of a winter celebration. We generally leave them up until Epiphany (January 6th), as that seems to be a nice day to put them away. Holiday parties usually start around December 1st, with most in the first two weeks. Most people are traveling or with their families after that. Growing up, I do remember my mom's coupon club had their annual holiday/Christmas party generally in November, usually before Thanksgiving. It was the only time they could get everyone together. But I remember it being strange to hold it so early.
  17. You might look into a roller mouse. My assistant at work got one when she was developing RSI (carpel tunnel and tennis elbow.) She got used to it quickly and now won't use any other mouse.
  18. Yeah. It was very good for pictures and variants. Not so good for info about developers.
  19. My cousin and I were playing Madden 93. It was my game and my Sega Genesis, so because I logged way more hours, I was able to beat him most of the time, even if he played as Washington (the overall best team in that year.) My game room was an upstairs loft area where the staircase to downstairs and the rest of the house kind of rose out of the floor. No guardrails or anything, just a rectangular opening with stairs going down. One day we were playing and it's the most intense game ever. Leads constantly changing. Turnover city. Finally he gets an interception, runs it in for a touchdown and manges to hold me before I can score again. He leaps up, does a victory lap around the loft ... and promptly runs into the hole and falls down the stairs. He wasn't seriously hurt, maybe a bruise. Surprisingly this didn't convince my dad to put up guardrails.
  20. Serious answer, any number of people are capable and have the tools. The one thing they most likely don't have is time. Even just the NES had some 1000+ games if you included variants, regional differences, and all the unlicensed stuff. You're asking for images of every cart, box, and manual? And we're not just an NES, or even a Nintendo forum. Sega, Playstation, Xbox? It's going to add up fast. It would have to be a group effort, and someone would need to spearhead it. Asking someone else to do it is a good way for nothing to get done.
  21. That Mario_Friend1982 guy seems well on his way to making some kind of database. There's the rub. Hardly anyone does. If you mean a duplicate of the NintendoAge database, keep in mind that thing evolved over years, and still wasn't 100% accurate in the end; the developer section was woefully and hilariously bad. And the rarity section was a point of constant differences of opinions. I'm sure at some point a reasonable database will be constructed.
