not sure what to do with both of these, should they both be deleted?

Ha!  I've been looking at building a computer with windows 3.1. I would love to play some of my old floppy 5.25 Disks on a old machine. Good luck with your build and I would love to se pics. I think I may have found a computer that I may be able to do that with but not sure yet. I do have a computer with windows 98SE for some classic gaming but to have one that would play with the old floppy's would be great. Good luck with your build.

If I remember correctly, the controls were bad and the camera angles were not all that great, but it was a fun cheesy game if you like that sort of thing, you know so bad and cheesy that it's good.

I've done it a few times and the people I offered more money to were quite grateful, I did ask to speak with them outside and offered them a price before the game store did. I've also done it at a pawn store. I don't see anything wrong with it, I just happen to be there at that moment when someone came in with games I wanted. I don't spend all day there waiting for people.

Personally, I've done it at least once but only after the customer turned the store's offer down.  Strange thing was, the guy acted like I was trying to sell him drugs when I offered to pay him more money than the store - he acted really funny and said he'd just keep them (didn't even let me make an offer).  *shrug*  And that was a GS where I knew the manager pretty well, and he flat-out told me he didn't care just to handle the transaction outside.  Oh well.

I've had the same thing happen to me also a few times. It was like I was dealing drugs. The guy ask me to go to his car to finalize the transaction. He opened the trunk and everything. I thought it was strange.

Classic Video Games / Re: Game Gear vs. Atari Lynx, Who Was #2?

« on: April 30, 2014, 04:47:20 pm »

In my opinion I think the Game Gear won the overall second spot in sales but if we are talking about my opinion on who should have gotten second, then I would have to say the Lynx. I just enjoy playing the lynx more than my Game Gear.

This is the oldest TV that I am currently using, I do have a TV from the mid 80's with dials on it, but it doesn't work very well. I also have about 5 Commodore 64 Monitors and about 10 Similar type of monitors, and 2 CRT HD TV's which are heavy as hell.
