Re: Sprite Castle 025: Radar Rat Race

I feel the need to put firecrackers in my ears after the music from RRR has been stuck in my head for a whole day. Do-Do-Dootle-Do all the live long day. How could they have scored a 100% review with music like that? An envelope full of cash from Jack Tramiel to teh reviewer, I'm guessing. THE KICKB...

Re: YDKF Episode 167: IBM PC

I've searched high and low for some kind of reference to that DOS version but it's just not out there. I can't believe nobody's ever seen it but me and one other guy.

Re: YDKF Episode 167: IBM PC

I saw it in the manual first, that's what made me do on the computer. The manual was written in a folksy way. Something about a file called Alice?, and Alice got loaded and then booted. (poor Alice) I dunno, it was a long time ago. It was like a layman's guide to DOS.

What was the DOS version that, when you hit return on an empty line, would return with 'Yes, Master?'

I remember my mom's XT? had that version. I had never seen it before.

Sprite Castle 020: Little Computer People

This reminds me of that After Dark screensaver. "Mike's So Called Life". That wasn't interactive though, it was just something to look at. I never had this game on the 64.

Man, that King of the Castle contest just got a lot harder!

Re: Sprite Castle 019: Shamus

One other thing I was going to ask about this game. I got to thinking that the whole backstory was made up after the game was programmed. Maybe the programmer designed the game one way but the PR guy thought Space Detective would sell more copies or something and they changed the story without chang...

Re: No Quarter 135: Wall Street

Do you think there is a category of arcade games that would be called 'rebound games'? I mean, if the good machines always have a line in front of them and some kid wanted to play that one good game but doesn't want to wait. Now here's this oddball game that's just sitting there with nobody around i...

Re: No Quarter 134: Crazy Kong

Had to watch a video of this! It is a horrible, horrible game. One thing that I thought was amusing on the first level is the barrels seem to be coming out of Kong's rear when he's facing left. Watch where the first fire barrel emerges from when the level starts. Fart jokes, anyone? THE SOPHOMORIC A...
