  1. Thats good to hear, We can always use help in any way possible!
  2. Ok so over the weekend I started playing Space Invaders Extreme for the Nintendo DS. Now I grew up on these games......I had the Atari 2600 with Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Defender ....etc. I dont remember being into Space Invaders.....Asteroids was more of my game. Plus I loved games like Combat and Outlaw. So back to my point, This Game Rocks! The music is up tempo and keeps the adrenaline pumping, its probably one of the best remakes of a game I have ever seen. I highly suggest picking up this game for the DS or PSP if you have a chance to! You get different power ups in this version, Blue ones give you a big blue laser that can clear entire columns, Red ones give you exploding shots, and Green ones give you a spread laser. But just because you get an upgraded weapon does not mean you are going to find this game easy! I am stuck on Level 4 right now!
  3. Born in 79 , had a Atari 2600 first.....then moved onto a NES shortly after
  4. Blame my girlfriend.....I asked her to take pictures of everything I want to sell and she hasn't yet!

  15. Go for it, Keep me posted on what torrents you create and where.
  16. I just started playing it tonite, Cant do too much since I dont understand Japanese.....but fun none the less
  17. Agreed! But here is the problem......up until last November this is how we operated......Our releases were put up on Mininova and we ran a private FTP server. Guess what the number 1 problem was.......Only myself and a few others seeded! Now it was fine for a while, but when I am running a FTP server and hosting torrents.....it kind of gets to be a pain in the butt when you see that people cant even seed for a day.....they immediately jump off at 100%. Plus every time I wanted to play on Xbox Live ....I would have to shut down everything! Which would lead to 10 posts about why downloads weren't working. So last November we moved to hosting the releases on this site, and posting them to Rapidshare for people who don't wish to donate or participate in the forum. Now I have ABSOLUTELY no problem if a user wants to distribute the Retromags releases through Torrents, DC++, P2P or Newsgroups.....the only thing we ask is that you don't modify the releases and release them how they are presented.....For example if a release is coupled with a .NFO text file....we ask that you distribute them together.....and if at all possible when you create the torrent you put a click able link in the description field that links to this site. If you back pedal through the last few months of posts, I have been actively looking for members that would be interested in creating torrents .....we would love to have a multitude of members that would take our releases and place them on Mininova, The PirateBay, [censor bypass], Demonoid and BlackCats......No one has really shown an interest helping out with this though.
  18. I can protect my dashboard while making it easier to remove labels
  19. I just had a good idea for how to remove address labels from magazines before scanning. I am going to try it this week and see it it works.......The idea is to leave magazines in my car during the hot summer days......I know the inside of a car gets up to 120 degrees.....and it should weaken the bond between the label and magazine. I just had this idea as I was taking some magazines out of the car that had been on my back seat.....will keep you posted
  20. I keep bouncing all over the place with my Retro Purchases.....These are on my hot list.... Factory Sealed Dreamcast 3DO FZ-1 Sega CD Sega Nomad Nights into Dreams Daytona USA More Atari 2600 games Atari 5200 System Atari Lynx version 2 Atari Jaguar Turbo Grafx 16 Neo Geo Colecovision Any Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania games I am missing Virtual Boy Jet Set Radio We will see what I find a good deal on first
  21. Plus they were very kind to mention us in one of there magazines Although last months issue mentioned Magazine collecting and we didnt get a shout out
  22. Here ya go! http://rapidshare.com/files/121769536/missing.zip.html
  23. I dont think I added any of the guides yet to this new system, Feel free to upload them if you want.
