in another scheme to part us from our hard earned money ($99.99), nintendo is releasing yet another version of the gameboy advance sp. one with the look of the classic NES controller. along with it they will be releasing classic NES games.

I'm still going to stay with my trusty Nintendo system. I'd like to see 'em do Duck Hunt. I dare them. What are they going to do? Make a gun accessory to fire at the 1 inch screen?

one of the best parts of duck hunt was that crazy laughin' dog.

YES!

people actually LIKED the dog?

what's wrong with the dog? that was hilarious. you miss and then this dog comes up out of the grass to laugh at you! the only thing that would have been even better was if you could have shot the dog.

Hehe... I see I'm not the only one who tried

that is what i mean..... you don't try to shoot something you like!!!

"I like the dog" errr.... "I tried to shoot the dog".... that doesn't add up. That is like me going around and shooting ever hot woman that I see, because I like them so much.

This is why I say I don't like that dog. And I have tried so many times to shoot that S.O.B.

Guy + Gun = Shoot

"Everything the body needs"

jeezus: i guess we're in agreement then. i was basing my like of the dog on the sheer joy of wanting to shoot the bastard.

well.... I'm happy then.


I wonder of they will release "Contra" also?

wow, jeezus, you just gave me an uber video game flashback. contra was awesome.

to bad they ruined it with contra 2, 3 and all the other versions of it.

yeah. NOTHING comapares to the original. what a game.

back in the day, everything was about gameplay. not how pretty or 3d (what 3d?) a game was. gamers of today are WEAK! they will never appreciate the days of one-hit sudden death. a bullet grazed your ankle in Contra and you were DEAD! there wasn't any of this 'life bar' crap.

there are many more things that gamers today take for granted.

--- Infinte continues. What ever happened to 3 lives, 3 continues.

--- (as mentioned) Life bar?

--- (as mentioned) getting shot in the ankle killing you.

--- various difficulty levels. We had one! Hard.

--- more buttons. We made due with 2.... so can you.

--- analog controls. We had 8 directions to choose from. and We appreciated it.

--- saving/continuing. To go to sleep and continue a game, we had to leave it on all night.... save? what save?

--- CDs. We all remember blowing into our cartridege to get the dust out so they would work.

thou speakest the truth! oh man. that's funny. i remember having to leave games on all night so i could continue them the next day.

finally, someone from the old school of gaming who appreciates the finer things in gaming life.

i'm glad you brought up cd though. that's one of the drawbacks of cd video games. you heft it and it will go flying to who know's where and get all scratched up. back in the day, if i got mad at a game i'd take it outside and throw it down into the back yard. by the time i retrieved it and got back inside i was cooled down enough to play again. and did i have to worry about scratches? no sir. blew into it and i was good to go.

Yeah. I remember the good ol' days. They even had 3 games in one!!!

If I remember didn't they produce a brush that would "clean" it out instead of having to blow into it? If not then it must have been something I found around the house in a search of trying to make things more efficient because I would use all of my air blowing into it

yeah, they sold a 'cleaning kit' with cleaning solution and these modified cotton swabs that were flat and wide. but nothing worked like doing it yourself. back then, 'huffing' had a completely different meaning.

cleaning solution = alcohol
cotton swabs = 3 normal swabs pressed together.

and they sold this for like $29, when all you had to do is look under the bathroom sink/medicine cabinent.

and they treated it like an exclusive nintendo proprietary product. "you can only use nintendo authorized cleaning products or it will void your warranty" or something like that. "we use exclusive cotton and alcohol unavailable at your local retailer"

Cleaning Kit

Can only be used on Nintendo® products. Does not clean anything BUT Nintendo® products.

Warning: Solution will melt any other product except Nintendo® products.

no fair chodder. i was going off of memory. you copied directly off the box!

and speaking of contra, here's a comic i just ran across.

"The Architect in his late years"
After the Matrix fails a 7th time it does not reload and the architect is forced to this....

I wonder if the Architect ever had to pull the Matrix out, blow on it, and put it back in?

Hmmm... interesting..... I guess that is what causes the glitches in the matrix
