Great episode. Never heard of it, but I know of Avalon Hill from their strategy games. Learned a lot and want to try it. It sounds interesting. A bonus to this episode, I got to listen to it in the great Atari dumping ground of Alamongordo. Sadly, no Atari here that I have found.

If I had of known cafe du mont was on your bucket list, I would have sent you stuff when I was there before Christmas for work. Great episode, again a game I have never played.
Cheers,

StormSurge,
I agree with your except I stayed with PlayStation because of a love hate relationship I have with Microsoft. I think people don't like the modern games because of the time involved to play them. I just finished uncharted 4 on the PS4 and it took me probably 20 plus hours as opppsed to the pickup and play of space invaders or PAC man. I also think people just need something to bitch about and are only fad followers. I think true old school gamers are like you and I will always collect/play every system we can and find things we love and hate on all of them. Damn you flicker. We have a love with being able to watch as the systems grow as we grow into older kids. These negative types don't appreciate where we came from and where we are going. Imagine a full vr verision of adventure. Right now the fad is retro games and we see that in the price of the original games and hardware plus all the new old systems. It will pass and the really gamers will still be around to carry on as these fad followers move the next fad and we get to enjoy the things we have always love.
Just my two nickels as Canada no longer uses pennies
Cheers, Magoo

Very cool! What is that next to the Atari Force comic? I've never seen that. It is a 5 language catalog. I never seen when till then either.

Cookies turned out all right. Maybe a little less oven time. I used a mix of dark and semisweet chips with pecans and it is a good combo.

My order showed up today. No they are not all cib games. It is an order of boxes and manuals to make cib games. I have a lot of loose carts which will now have homes.

Sky Racer. Of course I am a flight simulator. Maybe not a flight sim but a Japanese style adventure game like Zelda where you have to save the princess from the evil sky clan and capture their super racer to make your escape. Hence sky racer.

Another great episode, the history of the cartoon and arcade was a nice touch. Reminded me of the propaganda cartoons made of Popeye during the war.

My that would a space verision of adventure using the star raiders pad to simplify the controls. Try to get to your home world through trading and solving different puzzles.

Ferg,
One of my New Years resolution is contribute feedback after years on the sidelines, so I figure this is a good place to start with Popeye. I have this cart and had a chance to play it at work on my modded Atari jr. I occasionally have to work 24 hour shifts where we are waiting to respond to calls and yes we can sleep. So there was a lot of time to focus and play this game. I must of played with my new cx40 clone joystick and the best I could ever do was about 15 hearts on the first screen. No matter how many times I tried I had a tough time getting the timing down on the bottles and seemed to die all the time. I even read the manual because I have the physical copy to try and do better.
I watched to No Swear Gamer video you posted and agree with his review, though I never played the arcade verision to compare with the 2600 verision. Overall, I liked this game, graphics you could tell what was what and the music was fairly recognizable for 2600 sound in my opinion. The flicker didnot really bother me but I can see becoming annoying if I got past the first screen. I would play this game again and it would be a good challenge game for the video game nights occasionally host, where we sit around my garage with adult beverage, multiple friends and consoles trying to out score each other on different games.
To answer your question from the Christmas episode on how I like Adventure. I love it. I have always loved the challenge of solving those style games and would hav lov d playing it if I had it when first got my system back in the ferg. Sorry couldn't help that, but I love that phrase.
Thanks for all you do and my 2018 be even better.
Cheers,
Mike
