While NES is old, its still by far my favorite system in terms of technological dominance of the previous system. Before NES, we had atari 2600 where you're looking at games like Combat and Asteroids. They're fun for a little bit, but in the long run they get boring. NES had the ability to deliver side scrollers where you didn't see everything in the game initially. NES games are even superior to a lot of today's garbage being churned out. We're learning just now that 3d isn't always the best medium for games. And even when it comes to big productions like WOW which can be fun and addictive, it just isn't as pulse pounding as Contra or Castlevania. The most important skill involved in a modern MMORPG is patience. Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.

It's funny because people cover up more now than they did 30 years ago. I think we are headed to head to toe bathing suits again. I mean look at the swim trunks, or more like swim pants, that guys wear today.
Closed AccountJul 11, 2010
Not sure why you're getting buried (except maybe we're way off topic) but I've been saying for ages that we live a much more prudish lifestyle than people did 30-40 years ago... There may be more skin in the media, but the way people actually dress IRL is totally opposite of that... Think about 80's mini-skirts, 70's tight pants (although I doubt anyone misses seeing a guys moose knuckle while walking down the street), or 60's free love blah blah blah... We're the most uptight generation since the 50s when it comes down to it... Your example of swim pants is dead on, a few years ago dudes were wearing speedos to the beach (again, no one misses that) but now it's all board shorts that fall at least to (if not below) the knee... It's funny how "older people" freak out about how over sexualized things have become when if you really look at it the opposite has happened...

Funny how men have become so ashamed of their bodies and yet our society complains of how we have made woman so self-conscious of their bodies. I can go on and on but I'll leave it at that.

Actually I did, and by world 3 I'd have gone from sitting down to standing up in front of the television playing. In fact, if I remember correctly I never sat down playing Top Gun for NES. That game was so anger inducing trying to land on the aircraft carrier.

I went all out building a MAME cabinet. Now it's more of a pain than anything. My wife is starting grad school next fall, so we're moving and can't buy a house yet. She is annoyed by the machine because it's huge, I'm annoyed because I have to move it. I really suggest having an almost permanent placer for it before you build.
mtxrawkusJul 11, 2010
Or do a bartop MAME. I build a full-size and gbarger is experiencing the same problems as me. Its all worth it though when you fire it up with some buddies and a case of beer.

I used LuSID's arcade design with some design changes. I made a keyboard drawer, along with making the bottom of my cabinet a drawer instead of just a door. I also used maple plywood instead of mdf. Keep in mind with plans to keep in mind the width of the saw blade. Lusid's plans didn't take that into account. Then do some Photoshop work to make your own marquee and control background if you want it.

You can't retroactively judge someone in the past. By today's standards almost all clothing from the 60's-80's were downright retarded.
Case in point: I (for the first time, I know, I'm late) just finished watching all the old Jason/Freddy movies and literally every person is wearing a sin against fashion by today's standards. Short shorts, cut-off shirts and tight jeans that they tuck their t's into. And those were the tough guys of the flicks!
