Weird, someone approached me recently about this and came across a sealed "Special Edition" copy marked 0/10 (or was it 0/25?) They wanted to know if it was worth anything, and I said I'd ask @Ferris Bueller but I think he hasn't logged in for a bit.

SECAMWorld will be the bees-knees.

Also, to add, we need proof of "Flush" or "Square" copies of Rad Racket, Tiles of Fate, and Venice Beach Volleyball

Well hot dog. Thanks

It's'a me! You're welcome, and merry christmas I'm not sure who my SS was either, but thank you for the Game Console Book 2.0, the ornaments, the candy, and the donations to charity! You're awesome whoever you are (I never got my box from shipment, I told my wife when Secret Santas come in, to wrap them up as gifts for me!)

I won’t remember to reply to you unless you @ me again, but I do have a list of these in my PC. My unlicensed data isn’t as comprehensive as my licensed stuff though so it might be a little outdated

I'm pretty sure, Final Fantasy easily has the biggest NES manual, unless you count the manual for Racermate Challenge.

For what it's worth, My mint CIB comes with the following: Standard Items Box: NES-FF-USA, Oval®, 4-Line Warranty w/ Mexico, 00523 Date Manual: NES-FF-USA★, Oval® No Date Cart: NES-FF-USA, Oval®, Gold Back Label w/ 07 stamp Inserts NES-FF-USA(A) Poster NES-FF-USA(B) Poster PMG-USA Nintendo Power Ad Packaging Nintendo Non-Foil Dust Sleeve Blue Foam Spacer Standard Large Hole Bag Standard H-Seam Cellophane

You'd be surprised. *counts money*

I have no problem with young teens looking at adult content, as long as they have some sort of respect and dignity with themselves. But the interactive aspect of Twitch is just a recipe for disaster. Grooming, and brainwashing kids for cash is one thing, then the warped sense of reality teens will get in how the sexual aspect of a relationship works...no, sorry this is wrong on all levels. Porn shouldn't be interactive, ESPECIALLY stuff that's accessible for young teens, and even preteens. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it seems outlandish and outrageous.

Uhh... This is actually a problem. My preteen nephews love Twitch, I guess I know why now.

Thank you @T-Pac for the gift. You're one of the best things about VGS and I hope you continue this tradition next year. I love every little piece you let me have, and p.s. I still have the custom little envelopes you make too. They make for great storage!

What kind of idiot would do THAT.

It's mentioned in this article by Michael Cowen on NECSUS https://necsus-ejms.org/interactive-media-and-imperial-subjects-excavating-the-cinematic-shooting-gallery/ He also includes a diagram from the January 1892 publication of "La Nature", a scientific journal popular in its day. This diagram shows the idea of mounting a camera to a gun, and attaching its trigger to the guns trigger to take a photo of your target.

I agree, but I like to play this game with @DefaultGen to find the earliest thing you can possibly stretch your imagination to apply as the EARLIEST "Video Game" He claimed Nimatron (1939) as the first computer game, and I claim El Ajedrecista (1913). He claimed Bertie the Brain (1950) as the first video game, I claim "Automated Video Projector Shooting Galleries" (Pat. 1901, circa 1913-1915) He claims "Stick and Rock" (~10,000,000 b.c.e) as the first GAME, I claim "Stick" or "Rock" (~10,000,050 b.c.e.) In all honesty though, I think there's a little seriousness to my claim though. The way the machines work is as follows: A film is projected onto a paper screen, with either an animal or an enemy combatant as your target. The player shoots their target, and when the bullet penetrates the screen, a trigger behind the screen pauses the video, and shines a light from behind to show if you've successfully hit the target. The game operator will then spool out more paper and the game can continue. To me, that technically is a type of game that both meets the technical definition of Electromechanical Game, and Video Game. It just lacks any computational element. It's pretty sophisticated for its time really.

https://patents.google.com/patent/GB190114871A/en July 22, 1901 the first LITERAL video game was patented. This meets the definition of requiring a video screen. To exclude this, you would have to exclude a PS5 connected to a project, but also count it again if it's played on a TV. These shooting galleries were popularized from 1912-1915 too, so they had a history that's been long forgotten.

Did all my Christmas shopping in one go. Terrible mistake, because now I missed out on "the shopping season" and my wife said "we haven't even shopped yet" ....so basically I spent an extra $2500 this year for Christmas, since she's gonna do her own thing. Credit card debt here we come. I'm a dumbass for thinking I could save money this year.

Meh … bring back snack wraps please

From what little I know about Haiti right now, I understand that it's basically being run without a functioning government right now? As in, it's basically a low level anarchy over there at the moment?

[R E S E R V E D] Probably gonna just continue my last year goal

Yes. Spoiler: Once again, no where near as much as I wanted, but more than I thought I would get done!

That’s pretty much what I noticed too. Not so much the loose Miracle Piano, but it was never on my radar for some reason. Also, I think PAL folks in English speaking countries flip for cardboard HES stuff too.
