    I think one of the levels was a brothel. I could be wrong. It’s been a while since I played it.

    I finally have my own copy of Pokémon Sword after starting a game on my daughter’s copy during Christmas.

    Could an NES game really be cursed?

    The first game system I had as a kid. The Coleco Gemini.

    The Gemini was a 2600 clone that Coleco created back in the day. They had their own system, the ColecoVision but they also made games for their competition. Donkey Kong was on all three systems, but looked best on the ColecoVision.

    The one I had came with both, Donkey Kong and Mouse Trap. Mouse Trap was a lot like Pac-Man, just replace Pac-Man and the ghosts with a mouse and some cats. The mouse could collect bones to morph into a dog and go after the cats. The arcade and Coleco versions had a bird that could kill the player in either mouse or dog form, but it was gone in the Atari version. The mouse could turn into a dog at will at the push of a button, provided you have bones in reserve. You could also shift walls in the maze at the touch of a button.

    This game needs to make a comeback. In fact, all of Exidy’s games should make a comeback.

    Pretty much, except the knob at the bottom that didn’t do a thing. Another complaint is that the controllers broke to easily. Fortunately, Atari controllers worked great in this thing. I even had ColecoVision controllers with a number pad on them. Coleco had crazier controllers.

    I’d never heard of this movie before. Funny how life works like that sometimes.

  18. If you use Netflix look up Bandersnatch it’s concept is you as a watcher partaking in the show by making interactive choices determine the fate of the main character, I advise you to google it after you’ve ran through it once because the amount of paths you can take and outcomes are wild bringing many different endings I think you and I think @auron79 would enjoy it

    Sounds cool! Netflix has a few shows like that. They had Minecraft: Story Mode on there that my daughter loved.

    Has anyone played the Mario Kart arcade games? I love the series but have yet to touch the arcade cabs. One just appeared at my bowling alley a few weeks ago.[​IMG]
