I like that Arachnotron, keep up the good work and do a Shambler next.

Righto, so the first wad was just what passed for good at the time, but ultimately isn't remarkable in any particular way. Eggplant's wad was not bad for a first try at using doombuilder.

As for Straydog, a lot of effort obviously went into the scripting and the whole thing oozes 90's game atmosphere, but it just isn't that interesting. I'm not gonna talk shit about the controls, because that's on me and not the wad. I feel like it needed to change up the gameplay a bit. Add some different types of tanks to use, add some more enemies with unique attacks, maybe use the tiny guys with rocket launchers less often too. I'd rather there be a couple of health drops for the tank than a repair gun which lets you heal it to full. Very slowly. It's also another one of those things where the creator hamfistedly adds a storyline about contemporary politics. I'm not arguing about whether he's right or wrong, but I just don't think a Doom wad where you're trying to entertain people is the right place to put your political opinions.

Anon's out for now. Catch you guys later. I promise I'll fix Nightbot later.

I get autobanned because my IP has a history of sending spam or some shit. Good thing I have a dynamic IP.

A guy was selling a lot of Atari stuff, he must of had 6 Atari 2600 including Jr versions

I already have a 7800 so I cleared him out of games\controllers
35 Atari 2600 games with some repeats
A few coleco/magnavox games
2 quickshot genesis controllers, an Atari 7800 controller, and a bunch of driving pads and paddles.

All for 40 bucks, it was great

Okay so Snatcher works as an ISO.

Holy shit that sound quality. I know it wasn't supposed to be impressive by today's standards, but for a moment there I feel like being back in the 90s hearing CD audio for the first time. Maybe because I've been playing Genesis games with poor audio repeatedly before this. So the sudden improvement impressed me.

Anyone know if a CSO adds a lot more loading time? Because it's half the size of an ISO and really saves space.

Can someone recommend a good, safe soldering iron to use on a PCBs. I'll be replacing the caps on my Vectrex soon and need a new iron.

pic unrelated.
