    Home Game System in the 80's What did you have?

    80's... hmm... Atari 2600 (heavy) TRS-80, (Not technically a game console, but that's what it was used for mostly :D) NES, Gameboy, I had almost every Nintendo console over the years, except for the virtual boy. It wasn't until later that I branched out to the Sega Systems. The only system I...

    Any Shenmue (for the Dreamcast) fans here?

    Shenmue was the main reason I got a VGA box -- just so I could experience the game in all of its glory. The game was way ahead of its time in my opinion (as was the Dreamcast itself) Shenmue is a love it or hate it game for people... I happen to love it... but I must admit that I've never yet...

    Nintendo is re-releasing a mini version of the NES

    I'll be getting this on launch day with the extra controller. The Trifecta of Zelda, Kirby and Super C is what did it for me. :D

    Fortress Gamers.....

    Thanks for that. I don't seem to have the folder that you are specifying, but I did check each of the config.cfg files that I could find, and none of them are set to read-only. I still haven't solved this issue. My video-drivers are the latest versions. I can still play, it's just that the...

    Dedicated Servers

    Made a note of that UT2004 server. Am always looking for new places to play that.

    Fortress Gamers.....

    So, I found my old HL: GOTY disc with TFC, but when I tried to register the key on steam, it said that the key was already registered on another account... I do not even remember doing that, but I am downloading fortress forever, which looks as good if not better than TFC. I'll give it a spin...

    Fortress Gamers.....

    Heard a lot about the Battlefield series, but never picked up any of the games. Not sure why, as I love FPS games, just never got around to it I guess. How does it compare to something like CoD or Americas Army?

    Fortress Gamers.....

    Will do later tonight when I get home. Keep in mind that I haven't played in years, so I'm sure that I massively suck + don't remember the map layouts anymore. Right now I am having some display issues also. The game seems to want to default to 800x600 @ 16:10 aspect ratio (???), and whenever I...

    Fortress Gamers.....

    Okay I just installed steam and tried to login, but it's telling me that because I am logging in from a new computer I need to "grant access" by entering a code that they e-mailed to me (at the abandoned email account ofcourse) so it looks like I am a special kind of screwed here. I can make a...

    Fortress Gamers.....

    I still have my original Half-Life GOTY disc with TFC on it. Assuming that version works on Windows 10 x64, I could probably play it. I may try logging into steam with my defunct account/email address and seeing if I can change it without validating first. If I can do that, all would be good...

    GB or GBC hidden gems?

    Operation C is a very good GB Contra game. King of Fighters '96 is a great GB fighter with nice art style and animation. Snow Bros. JR is a nice port of a Snow Bros game for the GB.

    Fortress Gamers.....

    I used to play TF ad TF2 several years ago. Not so much anymore because the games are tied to my abandoned Steam account (the e-mail address I registered with is not even active) I love pretty much all shooters though: Quake, HL, UT. I had a lot of good times as the engineer and sniper in both...

    Well, it finally happened...

    Heard back from the Tech Factory. They said and I quote: "Hey, so we have figured out to the best of our ability what is going on with the unit, we are sorry it took longer than expected but we have rarely come across a problem such as this. Basically somewhere on your motherboard there is a...

    Well, it finally happened...

    I have some issues with the "launch console is flawed" theory though. It doesn't really get Sony anything. All it would do is discourage early adopters in the future. Unless ofcourse you are not suggesting it was a purposeful conspiracy, but just a result of less-optimized hardware. If that was...

    Your desert Island game

    If I have Internet access: Pretty much any First-person shooter if no Internet access: Roller-Coaster Tycoon. Also, I see YieArKade mentioned Super Mario Maker, could you please give your opinion of how it compares to Lunar Magic? I would like an opinion from someone who has actually used both.

    Well, it finally happened...

    Just updating this again, because it's turning into a saga (perhaps I should secure the movie rights). TechFactory repaired my PS3 and also mentioned that they had to replace the PSU due to overheating issues. I had already bought another PS3 to play during the repair period. Today I was...

    Well, it finally happened...

    I hear you, and I know as others have mentioned it's better to have separate consoles for these types of things -- and I see the wisdom in that; but right now it's just not feasible space-wise. Plus there is a certain neatness to having everything in one unit which I do enjoy. That being said...

    Well, it finally happened...

    Just an update to this thread to let you all know how it's going.... I scoured craigslist to find a local shop selling any chrome PS3's because my intent was to have a spare unit while I sent the other one in for repair. I found one and tried to restore my system backup from my original unit to...

    Well, it finally happened...

    Man, that's a real bummer. I'm sorry to hear that -- and no offense, but I hope that is not the norm for a professional shop repair of a PS3. I am going away for labor-day weekend, but when I return, I have the option of sending mine in for ~$100 which is still less than I would spend to get a...
