That’s true, if the people don’t buy it will not succeed.  I must admit though I’ve been using the Onlive micro system and so far I like it.  The convenience and pricing is spot on the only issue I see is that they don’t offer the latest and greatest games available right away and the majority of gamers want the newest now.  Now I know us collectors and hoarders of video games may resist at first but we don’t make up the majority, the majority of gamers are going to hop on the cloud gaming wagon because it’s so convenient add the fact that you can take your game saves with you regardless if you play on the micro system, PC, tablet or smart phone just too many benefits in cloud gaming to ignore.  Once Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft jump on board and cut the cost of needing to develop a more powerful console, well there’s no turning back.  It’s happening and like I said way back it’s happening sooner than we think.

More evidence that cloud gaming is going to take over sooner than later, once the big three jump on the cloud that’s where it will be.

I’m going to go with Sonic Spinball because it doesn’t have the candy cane stripping and the tiny writing at the bottom of the spine like Beyond Oasis and Castlevania  and the Sonic Spinball title isn’t centered on the spine.

Hardware and Tech / Destroyed a Atari 2600 Jr

« on: May 15, 2012, 11:36:53 am »

I was in the process of converting the Atari 2600 Jr. to use RCA cables, I was all done but while testing it the board slipped out of my hands and landed on the metal shields.    Looks like the audio and video touched and of course the audio being amplified so it blew the video.  So I have sound but no video, looks like I’m looking for another Atari 2600 Jr.  I all ready have a wood grain Atari 2600 converted I just like the smaller profile the Jr. has.

I only have one thing I can think of right now, actually it comprise of multiple items.  It would have to be my five Capcom Steel Battalion setups, that’s right five controllers five Xboxes networked and five TV’s and five copies of Steel Battalion and Line of Contact.  I need to pickup five LCD TVs to replace the tube TVs.

Not sure if any one is using Onlive but I’ve been using it now for a few months and so far I like it.  They now have over 200 games on their $9.99 service and a lot of them are some of the cool Sega Genesis games like Shinning Force, land Stalker and Wonder Boy everyone should give it a try, at least try it for free.

If they were cheap it would be cool to make a wall mural with the cases, tile a small wall with the cases and back light it.

I tried to warn you all back when I saw the Onlive system, cloud gaming is coming sooner than you think.  Love the convenience hate the fact that were loosing physical media like the music and movie industry, going to miss seeing people waiting in lines at Best Buy all night to get that must have new game.  It's all coming to an end, we no longer have to leave the house.  :'(

I thought about it again and realized that I would need separate software to map the buttons, can’t do that on a console. :'(
