It's been awhile since I have played any mobile / phone games.  I was playing Zinga Poker and Minecraft on the iPad and iPhone.   Every once in awhile, I would break out Candy Crush like @mastermario lol  ;D

It's been awhile since we've had a mobile game post.  What are you currently playing, what should others check out for mobile gaming?

Thoughts, comments... post it up!

@AngelBob -- this is probably a long shot.  Checking in -  Are you still playing Ingress?  I hope you are doing well and see this ping.  Would be cool to see you come back.

you know what, @retro junkie, we definitely need a new topic.  Shall we create one?

Arcade / Who Still Owns an Arcade Cabinet Today?
July 12, 2025, 09:37:04 PM
The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years.  I still have my MVS single slot original Neo Geo MVS cabinet.  I have not played it for more than 1 hour in the last few years.  I turn it on to ensure the monitor and everything is functioning well.  It has an original working CRT monitor... which takes about 10 minutes to warm up.  It looks great after warmup (pretty standard).

Do you own a cabinet?  If so, what do you rock out?

Arcade / Do you still Arcade?
July 12, 2025, 09:35:21 AM
Kicking off this new Arcade board!  It's been awhile for me ... but there are a few places that still have active arcades around here.  Have you been to an arcade lately?  IF SO, what have you been playing

Thoughts... comments... Post it up!

Yeah - Nintendo prices just don't fall LOL...  ???

I don't see discounts on Switch 1 prices as well.  I upgraded my original Switch to the OLED version.  The original Nintendo Switch is 7 years old?  2017.  Joy Cons were sent into Nintendo and fixed.  They work pretty well and have been working.  I might be interested in parting with it... maybe not as well.  I need to think about it - if interested.  Boxed... box might be a bit sun faded.

Anyone else looking to pick up a Switch 2?
#191
ok - so the grind is pretty hard?  That was my worry on the Lunar games.  If I remember correctly, that was a thing in the past.  They are definitely great games.  Hard to put a ton of time into them with life as is and current gaming ADD  ;D

Who has been playing Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2?  I believe at least @Bomber Man and @CreepinDeth has been lol  :great:

The open world is pretty cool... interesting in how you switch between objectives and challenges while driving in the open world. I have very light experience so far... but watching and playing more.

Outside the $80 physical media cost ($50 with Switch 2 Console Bundle)... what excites you about this title?  Anything giving you pause?

Does it blow any one else's mind that "remastered" could ever be added to a Crysis title?  ;D

Well... this has also been released for the Nintendo Switch. It was released a long time ago - July 23, 2020 and I totally missed it.  I am going to give it a shot... just because.

It's still about $40 and is on Amazon and other stores (Amazon affiliate link):

It has been confirmed - Nintendo Switch can run Crysis lol  :great:  I am pumped to try it out.

Have you played Crysis on the Switch?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Old post bump - has anyone tried this out?  I have yet to try it.
#196
I had a whole response I was writing and lost it.   :'(   This will be the shortened version.

Neo Geo cart games back in the day were super expensive as well... while SNES games were in the $49-69 range, they were going for $150 each.  There was a Genesis racing game (Virtua Racing) with the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) chip that I think debuted for $99 if my memory serves me right.  I remember back in the day... I was like "$100... what the heck?!"  Star Fox with the SFX chip was $59.99.  Those were expensive... but I do remember some sales... also remember mowing many yards to purchase more LOL.  :happydance:  N64 games jumped up to the $75's if I remember those right.

Thank you for the heads up on Bangai-O.  I have one excellent in box... I might look to lighten the collection soon.  We will see.

It is awesome to see the home brew communities. I was trying (way back on the old store) to give a platform for home brew communities to launch titles for different systems.  It didn't work out at the time - long story... but it was an interesting run at the concept! Glad to see they're still live and well.

$80 for Mario Kart world is a bit pricey... though the arguments for inflation aren't wrong... it still doesn't take away the sting of the game prices.

LOL @Grindspine ... great reference.  We need another cook out with huge prawns again. Or whatever those large shrimp are.  I haven't seen them for a long time.  It was at least a few years before covid

I ended up watching and watching.... and watching for a discounted price on a Physical copy of the Playstation Vita Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours.  I found one a couple or few years back.

I'm happy I bought it new on the drop... as it was a one time opportunity.  Funny enough, I've only played it a few times... but it was a great snag. :great:

I Am doing a necro bump on this topic.  I know we had a couple other topics on the Vita... but this one needs a bump.

You are 100% right on that.  If you look at Max Cavalera from Sepultura / Soulfly, Metallica, Megadeth... Anthrax... Offspring... basically any bands LOL.  This getting older stuff... what in the world.

On 07/02/25 the forums were upgraded to the newest version for some bug fixes and security features.

* Yesterday and on the weekend, I did a bit of SEO work to start trying to get the forums moving forward.
* Today, I added a feature that makes the URLs a bit prettier... we will see how that goes. 


Please let me know if you see any issues and/or have questions.  I am continuing to perform upgrades and add new features.
#203
LOL  :'(   @targetrasp come on buddy!
#204
LOL man.. what an epic ride though.   :great:

DONE ... DONE... on to the next one!
#205
lol @retro junkie --> In this case, you won't want WEP.  It's been hackie hacked.

As far as the refund... good idea!  However, I'd say... don't be afraid to try again. Just ensure you get it from somewhere that will refund in case there is an issue.

At this point, game offerings on the Nintendo Switch 2 are pretty light. However, what games are you looking forward to that have been announced?  ALSO... what is your dream list of Nintendo Switch 2 games that you would like to see hit the platform?

After the current upgrades, I'm trying to get back on top of the social logins.

Has anyone noticed any issues with the Social logins?  do you still use them...etc?

Quote from: CreepinDeth on July 04, 2025, 11:12:30 PMIt's possible the game sat around not being played by the original owner and then probably sat around some more until you bought it. Not sure if you can fix it. I would recommend returning it if the return policy is still in effect.

^ That's a good idea just in case!  Might as well... and try it again with another cart.  If there is something wrong, you can at least get your money back.

General Discussion / Re: Trying out a New Theme
July 04, 2025, 11:19:48 PM
Quote from: CreepinDeth on July 04, 2025, 11:08:08 PMI actually do like it a little more than the previous theme. I think the previous theme, although decent, felt a little outdated.

yeah... this one is growing me.   The last one was the standard SMF theme.  It was a little outdated... however works well.   Unless you mean the last theme that we were using before the issues hit.  That one did feel a bit outdated as well and had a few formatting issues.

I'd like to find one that's better than a little better though.  I am thinking we will start here and start to grow as this theme works 100% - no tertiary issues right now.
