YouTube.

[Aswald]

Recently, some of the computers around here gained the ability to run YouTube.

What's interesting about this is the fact that a number of classic arcade games- both actual and emulated- are shown here.

Where else will most people see Space Fury, Time Pilot, Blueprint, Pleiades, and so many others? Snap Jack and Jump Bug?! Man, why didn't the CV have a home version of the former?

This is also interesting if you want to compare home versions to arcade games you haven't seen in years.

For example, I did not remember that the sky colors, for the most part, In CV Time Pilot actually reflect the arcade version. Also, I noticed that CV Tank Wars is very, very much like the old arcade game Tank Battalion.

It also shows how poor some home versions turned out to be.

Buck Rogers, Subroc, Mr. Do!, and a number of others.

On the other hand, it shows how well others came out. For example, Carnival, Slither, Turbo, and Pepper 2. It also reminded me of how much better CV Spy hunter is than the NES version.

Nerds?! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

Nerds?! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

Ouch, seriously though, that hurtz.

Anywho, enough with the small people, Have you never been on youtube before and searched for your fav old school games?

[Aswald]

No, how could I? The computers here just gained the ability to do so properly. Sound and all.

As for a link- to what, exactly? There are too many choices for that. You can't possibly mean that you can't 1) find YouTube and 2) search for these things specifically? All of you must have been there already except for me. The only tip I can give you is to include the company name and maybe date; instead of looking for "Carnival," type in "Sega 1980 Carnival."

It's just interesting to compare home versions to arcade-in-action views. Even KLOV can't let you do that, and what a blast it was, seeing Jump Bug in action!

Never going to happen. At best, I'd do a CV review in motion.

Then again, nope. With almost 70 CV games, it would take too long. A standard website would be best.

He wasn't directing that comment at you.

Watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb_LYmk8lrY&feature=related) maybe it will clear a few things up.

Better now? Clearly your stay here on DP is going to be short, so I just want to make it as enjoyable as possible...while it lasts.

haha, now I'm wondering what your avatar was before you changed it. the way I read it now was a fun little jab at you for having the same avatar. obviously that was not the case when it was first posted.

To whatever will make your first post, uhh, sensible? Or are you just astounded by this new fangled You Tube thing? I just confirmed your original post was from yesterday and not 2003.

I just wandered in here... this is probably the most confusing freakin thread I've ever read.

[ProgrammingAce]

It was June 8th, 1967 when Israel launched a murderous pre-meditated attack on an American Navy vessel.

http://home.cfl.rr.com/gidusko/liberty/

The reason for this post?

Because I've had it.

I've had it with the whole damn Middle East, and the idiots who keep stirring up trouble there, here and abroad. The morons of the 1980s who supported Saddam and the Afghani "freedom fighters." The idiots who all but enslaved us to Saudi Arabia, a most undemocratic monarchy that supports terrorism.

I've had it with Zionists, and their "master race" mentality. During the first Persian Gulf war, one said that we HAD to help Israel, because Saddam was attacking "God's Chosen People." This was not unusual, but nobody said anything about it (hypocrisy). Move over, Aryans...

Israel accepts millions of dollars in aid from us, yet officially won't even admit to having nuclear weapons. The leadership is the equivalent of the pre-millenial revivalists here in America, who support Israel only because they figure that by doing so they can trigger Armageddon, so they can go to Heaven in a puff of $@#&! smoke with the Rapture. They've been planning this war since the 1970s! Insane people are running things.

This attack was supposed to have been blamed on Soviet-supported Middle East nations (Arab). We would retaliate against them ("Operation Cyanide").

But it didn't work. The ship did not sink, and there were survivors.

The cover-up began.

This quite possibly pushed us closer to nuclear war than the Cuban Missile Crisis. And now, those idiots want war with Iran. Think there won't be a draft then? We're already past what we can sustain.

Understand this- we do not have ANY allies or friends in that forsaken region of the world. We should just stop meddling, and say to hell with the whole mess. If we are going to do anything, then it should be an ultimatum: all of you Middle East countries, and YOU TOO, ISRAEL, had better knock it off, or you won't get anything from us. No more fanaticism. No more garbage about "infidels," or zionism, NOTHING- or no more money or aid. Got it?
