I Found Some Cool Stuff in the Fanatical Very Positive Mystery Bundle
Every once in a while I get lucky with a Mystery Bundle, and I have to say I got super lucky with the Very Positive Bundle... No AAA titles here, but nothing that I have in my Steam library and a couple games I'm really excited to check out!

🍎 How to FORCE Remove Launchpad Icons for Deleted Apps Faster Edition!🍎
zhlédnutí 469Před dnem
How is this still a thing? There is an annoying problem where launchpad will list apps that are long removed from the system. Worse yet it does not give you the ability to manually remove them. Annoying. Here is the fix: No extra software required. This is a faster way to do it from my original verison. This is for newer versions of Mac OS. Check the original if you are running an older Mac: cz...
You Probably Should Get This Bubble Bobble Sequel for Nintendo Switch

Parasol Stars could easily have disappeared from history: Released towards the end of the 8-bit era it never appeared on the SNES or the Genesis, but fortunately for me it got a US release on my Turbografx 16 (Not a lot of TG games got released here) and remained on my most-played list until I parted ways with the system. So anyway: This game is great. Absolute win. Less than $10 which is a gre...
🕹️ Sorry Atari #74: Fatal Run is Pretty Darn Good on the Atari 7800 🕹️
zhlédnutí 900Před 14 dny
There is a whole lot more to Fatal Run then I expected... It's not as much racing as racing against time. The process of upgrading to progressively better weapons, repairing your armor and weapons and keeping your gas topped up as you get closer to the goal of saving the planet is pretty engrossing: Much more than many 7800 titles. Pretty solid! Questions, Comment or Hardware/Software review re...

Man, 3 years later and they still don't let us play CODM on Mac with M chips. This corporations are deeply annoying.
Srry not helpful to me cuz I don’t own pc can’t it be possible to do in console since it’s android
At a price of 39.99 I am not shocked it only has 73 reviews. I mean it don't look bad at all, but that's a lot for a niche indie game
This may not work on some earlier OS versions. You can try the older video if this did not work for you: czcams.com/video/E0Ra3MN0JLo/video.html
Your video made me decide to try it for super crazy rhythm castle - which I got. My games were really similar to yours Strategic Command: World War I Death Squared Joggernauts Lost Castle Super crazy rhythm castle Tormentor X punisher Osteoblasts When Ski Lifts go wrong Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo Fallout: New Vegas Not to bad I think
I wonder how many different games are in the pool for this one. As I recall the Ski Lift game is pretty cool as well. Nice!
That’s dog abuse, Poppy told me so 😂
Behind the frame looks interesting
These bundles get worse and worse over the years
Strategic Command: World War I, Alfred Hitchcock - Vertigo, Valfaris: Mecha Therion, This Way Madness Lies, GoNNER, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Virgo Versus The Zodiac, Kathy Rain, Karma City Police and Retro Machina. Im gonna try 4 of them.
Decent haul! Gonner is a fun game. I'm surprised it did not get more press. Retro Machina looks pretty cool too!
What a win. 10 games added to the collection. Super Crazy Rhythm Castle is probably the best game there, depending on the controls. I’m a big fan of rhythm games. Switch favorites being Theatrythm, Superbeat Xonic, Hatsuni Miku and Taiko no Tatsujin (needs drum set). I also like Rocksmith on PS4 (needs guitar).
Second
Fanatical for the win! Such an awesome bundle!
Certainly helpful! Thank you!

Could Frogger and Space Invaders be the 7800 versions?
Best info I have on them is that they are Android versions. The 7800 never had an official Frogger release although there is a really nice homebrew named Frogee. I have heard of folks pulling the APK's from the gold console and running them on Android consoles, but I cannot confirm that. Might be a fun thing to try with my hacked up OUYA.
@@Retr0Rob Yes, they are running Android, hence needing an ADB driver to add more ROMs. I love the Ouya idea.
I had a friend that their label was that bad
Thank you for the review! I just have a question, for the RGB options in the software, can you actually setup two different colors for the effects? For example, in the breathing effect, there's an option that says top color and another for bottom color, so,can you set up pink for top and teal for bottom?
Nah, I’ll play Gimmick 2 instead
Makes you think is there anything actually on the cart with all that downloading?….
One must wonder...
Does the ESRB not even try when rating these old games? How the heck goes a game where you shoot other drivers with machine guns and missiles get an "E" rating?! Even Sonic Racing games get an E10+ because there's weapons that make the other cartoon animals spin out. But in Fatal Run, you blow up other cars in big explosions... That kills people! No, I'm not all up tight, or offended, I just think it's funny how inconsistent the ERSB is.
I honestly don't think there is any kind of actual standard at all. It's self-regulation so basically its a free for all as far as I know.
@@Retr0Rob With big major titles, there seems to be a fair amount of consistency. At least in my experience. But with indie or republishing old games, it's all over the map.
Did you have to download the whole game?
I'm pretty sure!
Can never go wrong with Pac-Man! This was awesome!
Since i got the new Fatal Run 7800, i have a new appreciation for it
OMG, I remember playing this game on Amiga in the early 90s ! So many fond memories :)
That shouldn’t be that hard to remove icons…
Came here to check if you can finish track 5...thanks for answering that. Kind of annoying! I've got to the 3rd lap, but that's it
i might actually get this
the gba is the first time i payed doom 1 and 2, and this was maybe 2 years ago. i really enjoyed it and feel almost foolish for waiting decades to finally play the first 2 games
Still worth it though! There is some great level design in those games.
Thank you, man. I was about to switch to windows
Okay, I’m getting how it’s a spiritual successor to Bubble Bobble. The Parasol Stars I played on MAME, you use the same guy with the umbrella to create rainbows to traverse up the stage. The further up you go, the higher your score. When I saw this on the eshop I thought this and that were the same game. I was wrong. This has way more of a bubble bobble feel to it. Then again as a single screen arcade game, it could very well have been a spritual successor to Dondoko Don or Fairyland Story which are also Taito games.
The one with the Rainbows is Rainbow Islands: Which is Bubble Bobble 2. As is Bubble Bobble Part 2. Oh, and Bubble Symphony. Yup! There are 3 Bubble Bobble 2's. There was also 2 Bubble Bobble 3's: Parasol Stars and Bubble Memories. Don't even get me started on Puzzle Bobble (Bust a Move) Now the reality is basically some sequels were made for the home market and some are not. Parasol Stars is actually the direct sequel to Rainbow Islands. Inin is the Switch publisher of Parasol Stars. It was developed and published originally by Taito and Ocean (Depending on platform). Working Designs published it in the US but it's the Taito-developed version. I always meant to do a video on that lineage.
Inin Games published Parasol Stars. I say this because they also published the Ninja Jajamaru games, the Turrican Anthologies 1&2 and Ultracore. With the exception of Ultracore, which is a bare bones game, you have the same menu options as Parasol Stars. Save states, load states, and video filters.
Definitely going to be getting this! Looks incredibly fun!
Definitely worth the $10. I paid $100 on TG16 lol!
its still there, idk what im doing wrong
White lines of speed are too ugly, I want scud race on my dreamcast 😢
I love the fact that the game is CIB and priced right. Fun looking game with a lot of depth.
I have zero bad to say about this game.
It's always an incredible feeling returning to a game that you haven't played in so long! This was great Rob!
Never saw this gme before
I just want to hit 200 games on steam, this is all i need lol, thanks for revealing the games so I know that I won't get stuff that I already own.
I did hit 200 games, didn't get a badge lmao so I need 250, 30+ games away.
If it wasn't for game pass I would stick to my OLED deck.gabe need to find a way for gameepass to be on steam or Linux for that matter
At the Repair Shop, if you drag the arrow to the 2 images of your car you can see what parts of the car need repairs. It displays a % of the health of each section of the car.
Great info!
Fun times & love your channel!!!
Thanks!!
maybe i get it later
You know you want it NOW! Atari addiction know no boundries.
I fundamentally disagree with you, manual and the game mechanics. 🤪I do get into as many fights as possible in Fatal Run. Sure, the medicine isn't going to get there in time today. But I'm looking to the future, where the road is free and clear of those other cars and the medicine can get there more freely the next run. It could (it actually can't') happen! Plus, don't install machine guns on my car and not expect me to blast every car in my way. I don't even know if those other cars are bad guys. It's the post apocalypse and I have machine guns on my car!
Way to play the long game!!!
