Of new homes and video games.

Of new homes and video games.
As many may know I am staying at a friend's house while my new one get's finished.

Anywho, He has that all in one retro battery operated joystick with 12 retrto games in it.

Galaga is my favorite. This version has Pack Man and Dig dug too. So when I am not posting online I'll be there playing those old games since he has no cable.

Actually pong was 1970s, I started playing video games, as much as I always sucked, in the 80s. So while I knew of it, I did not play it much because the time I started playing video game programming and graphics had avanced.

Indeed it did.  I recall when the first machine was installed in the game room of the Student Union.  Always a line to play it.  It was quieter than the pinball machines.

Anyone familiar with Galaga, explain this.

Ok you know how those big ships at the top come down and one makes a tractor beam and captures your ship and takes it back up?

Ok so at first, it was letting me do that, but after a few games it was still taking my ship, but made my ship red, meaning I could not get it back. I know the game is over if you get captured on your last ship, but I don't understand why it went from giving the captured ship back to me, to making my captured ship red.

I adore MS DOS.

I've been loving playing Magic Carpet Plus lately.
