    Yep, I still have my wood-paneled original....and my is subjective, it belonged to my Grandfather who loved gadgets and Vegas in the 60's.....when he found out the base system came with Video Poker and there was a Horse Racing game for it suddenly he's got his friends over showing it off and...

    NVIDIA Shares Blackwell GPU Compute Stats: 30% More FP64 Than Hopper, 30x Faster In Simulation & Science, 18X Faster Than CPUs

    Meanwhile, GTA 6 will launch on consoles at 30fps and will still sell 500 million copies in pre-orders....but every RTX-enabled game will still sell small because Call of Duty and it's ilk are on version 14, and people get enough dopamine hit out of the freebie versions of Warzone and Fortnight...

    Embracer CEO speaks the truth!!!

    I was wrong, I was thinking the Prince of Persia like game I had on Apple II was early 80s....I'm actually kinda shocked it was a 1989 release, that was long after I'd given up on our Apple II and moved on to a Commodore 64/Amiga...the game I must be thinking of MIGHT be AZTEK, for Apple II and...

    Jensen Huang Discussing the Future of AI and NVIDIA

    See: Steve Jobs. It's just part of his brand. Bill Gates famously wears the same Casio Duro Quartz dive-watch every year. Watch stops working, he buys another one. Retail about $60 bucks on sale.

    Embracer CEO speaks the truth!!!

    I'm the guy that preferred the combat to the puzzle solving games. Example, the only Prince of Persia game I enjoyed (beyond the first one, back in the early 80's on either Apple or Commodore....just thinking about that made bats and dust fly out of my ears just now it's so long ago) was the...

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    You have to be a certain age to appreciate the magic of owning a copy of a movie....and that age is old enough to remember a day before VHS Rental Stores existed......back when if you didn't see a movie in the movie theater, well, there's a damned good chance you might never, ever see that...

    Target joins Best Buy and discontinues sales of DVD's and Blurays

    Supposedly theres a 1080p/4k fan-scan of a 35mm print that is available for $25 online.......the problem is the clips show it completely unrestored, and the print is...well, it's as good as the last 'best example' of the film that I saw, which I believe was a widescreen (but not anamorphic)...
