That’s my favorite track on this album. The energy is killer.

My money is on people continuing to attack Jewish businesses and institutions after everything is over because they got the ball rolling.

I like that early videogame systems had a lot of the kinds of games you might also see as type-in BASIC programs. Hangman, mastermind, memory, that kind of thing. It’s quaint, but I also remember that stuff legitimately counted as computer entertainment. Guess the animal was dope!

The Golf n Stuff in Ventura had it in the 90s. I always associate its attract mode music with Gauntlet Legends because you could always hear it over the GL cab while playing.

SV has often been at odds with the entertainment industry though, less so recently

All the footage of Lynx Roadblasters on YouTube is way too fast because most emulators don’t run it correctly. I remember Mednafen does though.

What does everyone think of this one? I love Paradroid and Uridium, love the look of this one but never was able to really get into it. Supposedly the best way to play is pretty exploit-y.

I like the Need For Test Drive genre

I need to try Eagles. We had Broadsides and it was pretty cool for the time.

I like the funky art design in Whip Rush for the Genesis

Really there needed to be way more back view vehicular combat games in the 80s

I pulled over and called 911 during my first panic attack. I was having insane physical feeling symptoms.
