I hear you @retro junkie  - There is a Switch version as well:
https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/brotato-switch/

I made some progress on a few different games... very small, however, I started working through the Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration – Expanded Edition histories on the Nintendo Switch.  I might create a topic on this.  It is interesting and you can play games in the history.   I played Missile Command 3D for the Atari Jaguar.  It sure has been awhile and was rough  :))   Yes, I got my butt kicked.   I created a topic on the steel book a few years back, I might create a topic on this.

@BLUEVOODU
BROTATO does look like a game that I would enjoy. BUT, I am not a "Steam Gamer." The gameplay is sort-of robotron-ish....

@BLUEVOODU
been watching an episode daily..........right now I have just started season 4.

the one thing that gets my goat is the background subplot that is dark...it seems to just drag on and on and on and on.....those time wars....causes me to wince and grit my teeth...it is the same crap that hit me in deep space nine with the dominion war.......I hate when they feel compelled to do something like that when they have no creativity to come up with anything else....
bad writers? low on money? I don't know, but it bring down my rating for a series when they do something like this. It becomes wasted time for a series, to me. I don't mind a two part episode. I like the drama and the character interaction. Just give me something better than a continuous dragging dark subplot.

@retro junkie -- that would be a great challenge if that's the case! lol.  I'd love to try this one out.  again, it's probably been 25+ years since I played Final Fight.

At some point, we need a Sega CD topic.  That's one system (and the 32X) I don't hear much about these days.  Sega Saturn, I still periodically hear about from time to time.

@BLUEVOODU

I really don't know why he didn't use source code. He doesn't give a reason. It might be copyright issues on the code? Or he liked the challenge? But the results is flawless. This is totally Final Fight. You would be very hard pressed to find any flaws. I used to own the Sega CD version, but when my Sega CD died, I sold it. I have gotten to the point that when any of these old CD systems die, everything is sold. Not going to invest in something that could die two days after purchase. Too much of a chance to just throw away that money.

We found a good deal on the Star Trek Enterprise complete Blu-ray series and pulled the trigger.  We are just starting this now.  It definitely is a bit dated, but so far has been pretty good.  Scott Bakula... haven't seen him in anything for a while, did a decent job so far IMO.  I'll update more as we continue through this series.  We just finished the 1st couple discs. 

AND here is the amazing theme song!   :great:


I remember @Kinikko liking this song.  I bet @retro junkie has checked this serious out as well.  Anyone else?  What are your thoughts on the series?  Post it up!

Quote from: mastermario on February 12, 2026, 10:19:17 PMI watched it and thought it was a really good show. You can obviously see that Patrick Stewart is aging but the show wasn't focused solely on him and he did a good job considering. I think season 2 and 3 were actually really really good. The only thing I don't like about TNG timelines is everything they've done with Data. I like that they brought back Brent Spiner but I'm not sure that was the proper use of him.

Yeah - I agree on that @mastermario.  It was awesome to see his return though!  Also, Seven of Nine.

@retro junkie - now with this?  Are you going to try it?  :great:

Alright - I have made progress in Geometry Wars: Dimensions on the Ps Vita.  I got stuck on a level for a very long time and gave up.  I finally made more progress there.

@targetrasp and I started making some progress in BROTATO on Steam.  It's a fun game!  It might be up your ally, @retro junkie.

Anyone else making gaming progress? @mastermario @Jack @CreepinDeth

I hear you @retro junkie --> I bet the prices will just continue to rise, including the Super Pockets.  Ram shortages, disk shortages, certain businesses stopping support for the consumer segments... I'm sure higher prices are going to hit.

When is the 4th Neo Geo expansion coming out?  You are making me want this Super Pocket more and more (with the Neo Geo collections of course).   ???
