General Discussion / Re: Merry Christmas 2025!
Last post by retro junkie - December 26, 2025, 11:24:36 AMSo I am pathetic when it comes to playing Wac-A-Mole! Is that what you wanted to know? I can't even get passed the first level. All you have to do is wack enough moles to score enough to end the level. How hard is that?
Moving right along................
My haul for the season is as follows.........
You cannot view this attachment.
So happy to finally have Collection of Mana with three games included.
Starship Hector, how many times do you sort-of avoid a game because the title just does not appeal? This is a good NES shmup.
Two Famicom games, I have been wanting the Mario 3 for the Famicom and of course you can't go wrong with a little ninja game
Yoshi puzzle game, matching different falling objects, plus a Game&watch gallery 3. This is my first game& watch game, embarrassed to say. And it is addictive............
And DS games, OMG is a puzzle game, you advance through a haunted house by solving puzzles, Mario vs Donkey Kong, also a puzzle game, Taito's Exit, another puzzle type game, and of course Whac-A-Mole
apparently there is a need for practice in whacking these moles................................

General Discussion / Re: What is your Christmas Mov...
Last post by retro junkie - December 26, 2025, 10:33:12 AMWe have a whole collection of movies that relate in some way to Christmas. We start each year on December 1st. Maybe with the cartoons, like Charlie Brown Christmas, each night we have one of these. Frosty the Snowman, and there is the enchanting The Snowman, which is one of my favorites. The Grinch will be one night. Movies start entering at one point, like the Cranks, Arnold's Christmas movie, and the Santa Clause, Bishop's Wife, Christmas in Connecticut, A Christmas Carol, more than one of them will be played including the muppets. There is one that we searched for years to find on DVD that I remembered as a kid and that was Truman Compote's A Christmas Memory. I am not talking about the remake. I am talking about the old b&w original one. Found it on eBay. There is something about that short movie that is so relatable to me that goes back to my childhood. We will continue watching Christmas stuff until New Years day. We may not get to all of them this year. Maybe next year there will be different ones on our lists while some will be skipped over only to be viewed the next Christmas.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 26, 2025, 10:16:29 AMlol... if you wish to create that topic, @Mai Valentine , go for it! That also makes sense!
I am listening to wherever I May Roam by Metallica right now. I started learning more of this song on Guitar. There are parts MANY MANY years back I already learned and now I'm going through many songs and learning the parts I never really was interested in to be able to fully complete the song and get out of the "riff mode" that I was in for so many years.
@Grindspine - I need to do this with Korn Blind. Thank you for sending the tutorial. I need to restring the Dino for A the A tuning... and get the rest of that done so we can jam out. We need a guitar topic.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 26, 2025, 10:06:48 AMYou know @targetrasp ... you're right. that's my bad. I guess I'm starting to forget some things... I just passed my certification, so ... I will blame that for losing other knowledge. It's like Rocko's Modern life when the book gets shoved in his head and ... assumably ear wax shoot out of his head and the dog eats it. It could be brain goo... and in this case, I'm going to state it's brain goo lol.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 26, 2025, 10:04:24 AM@targetrasp how much has the price crept up? I was thinking of jumping into this... but the collection is starting to burst at the seams as well...
@retro junkie - those are awesome built in games! 1944? I don't remember that one. I remember 1942 and 1943... 1943 was my favorite. However, 1944? What's the story behind that one? Might be a good topic too lol.

Super Darius is the arcade game. I like the Darius series. If you have played one then you understand. To me this one is arcade hard.
Paranoia is an acid trip. It is a really freaky odd distorted bug type enemies, sort-of flying eyeball stuff, shmup. Different weapons pick-up. I want to say that there are some influences of Gradius but that does not even fully explain.....Salamander maybe..... It is hard to explain. I love it. I used to play it all the time years ago. But when you put something like this aside, you lose that edge of experience. Back to square one.
Gate of Thunder is my favorite on the TG16 CD games. I was greatly disappointed that it was not included on the TG16 mini. I was expecting that more than Lords of Thunder.
Son Son is a platform game. Your character has a weapon, like a stick. I guess it is a rod or martial arts pole. You can be hit several times then you dead and game over. Hit by one too many drops of water, you're dead. You pick up fruit and stuff hidden on objects that you smash, adds to your score. It is a fun little platform.
The one thing I love about the retron GX is I can mix and match the TG16 and PCE games using one system.
