6s all around. Occasional listen. I loved Frankie Valli when I first got into classic rock n roll, but not so much today. Nothing against him and the music, just kind of moved on.

Yeah, Dave or Optout are in Taiwan, so they may know of some. Not sure about Tanooki. He's a Famicom fan, but he lived in Kentucky, last I heard.

Yeah, the bootleg situation kind of scared me off of buying one half a world away. Doesn't help that Recca uses the most common Famicom cart shell and label shapes. I know the OP wanted the original, but you can get NES reproductions for $30 all day long. Some might even be the "Recca Pure" version that lets you play the second quest hard mode and the Zanki Attack mode right from the menu, rather than inputting codes.

I guess they decided they were out of the news cycle too long. Gotta get in quick before the election shit show.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five are kind of an artifact of the 80s, especially the "message" stuff that was in vogue at the time, hence the title. I prefer White Lines and some of their later stuff. Never been a huge Bruno Mars fan. I think I hear people quoting lines of his stuff more than his actual music.

Reed sets his polls up where you have to vote on every entry.

Yeah, we need to take the absurdity to its limits.

It was a $400 game on the Bay forever. I guess the pandemic made it jump as well. $600 might be the low end going rate for it now. Might be a little cheaper if you find someone in Japan/Asia that can buy and send you one. The official name is Summer Carnival '92: Recca, as it was the second of Naxat's Summer Carnival games (alongside Spriggan for '91, and Nexzr Special for '93, both for the PC-Engine.) They were competing with Hudson's Summer Caravan events.

Tough call. I'm torn between ELO (which is probably what the Beatles would have sounded like if they stayed together into the 70s), Sub-Rosa (which is definitely Beatle-ly circa Magical Mystery Tour), and The Knickerbockers (Ed Sullivan/first US tour era.) Nirvana has too much grind, and most of the others (Byrds, Cheap Trick) I think have their own sound that sets them apart from the Fab Four. I know McCartney wrote Come and Get It, but it sounds more early McCartney solo than Beatles. Everyone compares Oasis to the Beatles, but I never saw that. They actually struck me as being closer to some of the folk rock acts.

Hey, it's no longer jittery! Your smackdown of the game put it in its place!* *In the garbage.

I think he wants you to actually enter a vote.

I had one as a kid that I'd use occasionally, along with manual word processors (Smith-Corona and Brother brands.) Would still use a typewriter off and on for forms that were preprinted before editable PDFs were widespread. Once everything went digital and paperless offices became in vogue, typewriters became endangered. I still have an IBM Selectric somewhere in storage, but I haven't seen it in several years.

Ordinary World is decent. Never latched onto it like I did their earlier songs, though. I can see why people love it, though. The Reflex is pure cheese.

Oh, yeah, that was the shit. No waiting through the beep buzz dial tone of dial up? Pages load in a snap? Videos only take minutes to load instead of all day? Man, holodecks are right around the corner! Yeah, I remember the ads for BMG, and they took potshots at Columbia House. Easy enough for a mod to split it off. Hint, hint.

I remember when people didn't realize there was more to the Internet than the AOL content channel ecosystem, or that there were other service providers. To them, AOL was the internet. And the free AOL CDs? Those were quaint times.

Never ordered from Columbia House or had AOL. Everything else, though.

Reminds me of the time I was at a dog park with my dog, and someone else brought in a Jack Russell. I overheard the following: "Is that what you call a Jack Daniels?" "You mean, a Jack Russell?" "Yeah. Wait, what did I say?"

I wonder if they had to tweak the tile layout to conform to the NES abilities. Also, for some reason, when I click on the thread's latest post, and then try to scroll up, it gets really jittery when I hit the first post with all the map layouts. I'm not saying the game itself is to blame for that, but it's highly suspicious and I wouldn't put it past that game to screw up the forum.

What, you thought I wasn't going to weigh in? The enemy ship spawning thing is one thing I haven't figured out yet, either. I'm not sure if it's RNG or what, but I've yet to sense a rhyme or reason. But that might be my frustration talking. Some of the later levels look absolutely sadistic in their layout. Good for taking one for the team on this, though. If it were me, I'd try a few levels, then take the cart out and throw it against the wall.
