Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / What is your Favorite Xbox Con...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 14, 2025, 09:16:40 PMWhat is your favorite Xbox Console and console design? For example, it could be the Xbox 360 Halo 3 edition... or the Halo Reach Xbox 360, or any of the other released Xbox Consoles. There have been many console editions released over the years (though it seems all companies are not releasing the custom designed consoles).
There was this Xbox One Crazy Tomb Raider one of a kind console I posted awhile ago that was really cool:

What is your favorite and why? Thoughts... Comments? Post it up!

Arcade / Re: What was your 1st Arcade E...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 14, 2025, 08:53:00 PM@retro junkie --> I have some of those same experiences for sure. I remember Pinball Machines lined up as well. I have had a lot of fun with Pinball over my lifetime. I've had a couple real deal pinball machines as well. They are not always the most fun to keep operational, but are very cool (another story, another time). Now, the driving game... I swear I remember something like this at a bowling alley... but could be wrong.
@targetrasp Dude... I remember Chucky Cheese as well. That one game, packrat... I really enjoyed that as a kid. I'd love to see that Pinball that dispensed baseball cards! That would have been a trip... I never saw that.
In the 80's... there were so many arcades tucked away in hotels, in every nook and cranny at restaurants... it was a wonderful time. I remember Ms Pac-man sit down arcade machines at Chi-Chi's. I would play those as a kid while we waited to get seated. At one of the Holiday Inn's that we use to stay at, they had Golden Axe and RC Pro Am... plus many other games.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Mario + Rabbids Dual Pack - Am...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 14, 2025, 08:38:56 PMThe Mario + Rabbids Dual Pack is an Amazon Exclusive for the Nintendo Switch that contains both released Mario + Rabbids games. I thought we had topics on both of those games on the forum, but we do not!
The games included are Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. These are pretty fun games in an XCOM style... which is a turn based tactical style game. I am a sucker for these type of games.
This pack is a great deal. However, my only annoyance (and it's a big one for me) is that the games are a Code in the box.
Other than that, this is a great collection. Right now, it is $29... it was on sale just recently for about $25. See the discount post in the deals section:

This is a great collection and is a great package of games for a great price. I wish it was a physical release, but if you don't care, pick this up. You might be able to find more deals coming up for the holidays.
If you have these games, post up what you like about them. Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Rick Henderson
Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 14, 2025, 08:26:55 PMRick Henderson... yes, another Shmup! 
Am I on a Shmup kick? perhaps! 
This is a 16-bit styled shooter ... in your typical Shmup format. You can get it for the Nintendo Switch or Playstation 5 in standard edition or Nintendo Switch in the Extra edition. This game apparently was released in the digital platforms on the Nintendo store (and potentially others). This is a physical edition and will be released November 7, 2025.
Below is a screenshot of the contents of the Nintendo Switch Special edition. There's even a floppy with a USB key in the floppy lol.

I'm a bit excited for another Shmup... I like Shmups, shmups are my favorite. I am going to wait though to see if I can get it at a bit of a discount. The Extra Edition looks really cool... though I probably won't bite at that version.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 14, 2025, 08:15:44 PMyeah... I'm with you there. However, I don't think this one will be available for a lower price. I could be wrong... and maybe used in the near future it will be more available. Hopefully that is the case. I am a bit tempted to get it though as I think it'll keep its value well.

Last post by Kinikko - October 13, 2025, 11:57:26 PMMaybe if I ever see it for cheaper sometime, as I've not played the galaxy games. I'm not really a big fan of how Nintendo ports stuff though, they just slap it on a cart and throw it out there for full price. I doubt I will actually ever find it for cheap enough for me to ever want to get it though because Nintendo tax and all.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - October 13, 2025, 11:24:31 AMQuote from: Kinikko on October 08, 2025, 03:42:21 PMKinda why I'm in the boat where I don't particularly care if I join in on the next gen of gaming. I have so much (sooooo much omg) to play as it is I don't really need new things.
I'm in the same boat... as well as a lot of the members here LOL. So many...
I probably have 10 sealed switch games alone. That's not mentioning all of my Steam catalog... or all other systems as well.@retro junkie - I heavily watch diet these days as well. We eat pretty clean and avoid corn, wheat, and many different oils ... plus eat a fairly low sugar diet. This is definitely a more expensive way to eat... I feel tons better though. The only issue is... if I ever get into something that's "not good," man does it hurt.
The prices of all these items are up. Cars and houses = way up. Games = up. Food = Up. Gas... Is about the same... which is a bit interesting... but it's still up here. Restaurants = up a good portion. Education = up. I couldn't believe how expensive shipping is. We had to ship out a laptop for repair... cheapest option was $55-60
