Was lucky enough to have a sit-down cabinet version of Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator (Sega, 1983) at a local arcade. Very comfortable with the controls built into the chair. Along with having set all the games to free play, the operator had the volume cranked on this one so Nimoy's voice would resonate inside!

Been happy using a no-name "DC VGA Box" with different CRT displays (CVBS/S-Video/RGBs/RGBHV), and OSSC. Was easy enough to add a 15/31kHz switch. Haven't noticed any problems with the image, crushed blacks or otherwise.
More than one A but you are not among them! I don't often see movies on the big screen, in part for fear of something like this. Think you handled it gracefully. I might have walked out immediately and asked for a refund.
Gonna go with Donkey Kong (1994). Made for a handheld (Game Boy) but also prominently features an enhanced mode enabled by running it on Nintendo's Super Game Boy accessory for the SNES/Super Famicom (actually mine's an SGB2–even better).
Nice pick! Was my first experience playing a Rogue-like game, though I wouldn't know that term for at least two decades.
Also happens to be a technology specialist, a pilot, and one who must suffer (amputation).
I'm as old as my tongue, and a little older than my teeth.
To be fair, there was a glowing red arrow in pursuit.
Gift-wrapped with a card and all, decades ago to my former significant other. That it was so long ago, and that I don't remember what the present was would seem to speak volumes against the significance. Damn my cold heart!
Last time I felt like giving somebody a gift was three years ago. Burned a DVD of Spicediver's fan edit of Dune (1984) and sent it to an old friend in a case with a printed color slipcover. With the first part of Villeneuve's adaptation set to debut I wanted my friend to see this great version of a flawed film we enjoyed together in our youth.
Few months ago I gave a few Famicom game cartridges to a former co-worker because his wife collects Hello Kitty stuff. Not really being generous; was happy to get rid of them as those characters kind of give me the creeps.
Really enjoyed re-watching this series! Very dense and intricate in terms of setting and story lines compared to other science fiction shows on air at the time. Even if I wasn't so young then I believe I would have had difficulty following along week-to-week. Now, if I'd known about usenet...
Is it required to give them useful data? Thinking of using an old smartphone with bogus personal info, single-purpose email account etc.
