It’s another one we played for free a bunch when the bowling alley my dad managed was broken into. They had ripped open the doors to get quarters so we could just trigger a bunch of free games that morning while the police investigated.

It’s great! lol, I said Popeye so much it sounded weird. So in the song we say it like pup-eye, but for the chicken franchise it’s pop-eye. Clearly I was in the pup-eye mood.

That’s awesome, so you no longer have the old plug and play? Bummer.

Awesome. I'm watching your newest Famicom Disk System fix video right now!!!

This guy says so many funny and wrong things!

I hope to find a full copy cheap someday. It’s not bad at all.

@@RetroGamingNook it’s not. Is a really good game. Played it nonstop. Great memories indeed.

Yup, this was a division of HSN over here. So, I don’t recall watching The Day After, but I was aware of it. I’ll look up the TV listings in the Google newspaper archives tomorrow for when it was on to see what was on the other stations. I was probably watching the A-Team or something. I do remember they were always scaring us kids about nuclear war in the 80s. I’m sure I had a few sleepless nights thinking about it back then.

@@RetroGamingNook 1983 was it's release. It was shown in the uk a month after apparently. Lol, yeah, they loved to scare us too. We had those drills in school about hiding under your desk, or if at home you get in the doorway, lol. My grandparents still had a bomb shelter from the second world war, although it probably wouldn't have done us much good, lol. Our town was hit by the luftwaffe in WII so most houses had bomb shelters dug in the back garden's.😂

@@TheRetroManRandySavage This is interesting. So looking up the old newspaper listings for my hometown, this ABC movie ran Sunday night opposite a US/UK mini-series called Kennedy on NBC and the TV show Alice on CBS... Based on that maybe my parents were watching it... We would have only had one TV at this time. I'll have to watch the whole thing to see if it brings back any locked away memories. I will definitely also check out Threads.

@@RetroGamingNook dang! You can find, "tv guides" going back to 83? Yeah, I doubt my dad was watching it. He was probably in the pub when it aired, lol. Doubtful my mum watched it. I definitely wouldn't have. I didn't start watching adult stuff till about 85 when my dad had me and my sister watch, a nightmare on elm Street, poltergeist, and terminator. All I remember watching before 85 were cartoons, sesame Street and fraggle rock.😂 I haven't seen threads either. I'll watch it after the day after. There is about 30 minutes left of that. I'm just about to finish it.

@@TheRetroManRandySavage yup, google newspaper archives has most of the news papers digitized for my home town for my whole childhood. I go back to see where I saw a movie if I can’t remember. It’s crazy to see ads for stores and the malls that are gone or local news stories from when I was a kid I didn’t know about. All the funny pages are intact too.

Right on, thanks for watching. You could find one for free eventually, but the bulbs are expensive unless you get a lucky deal like I did recently. Now, the geometry on these can be wonky and they are loud and run hot. Also the component inputs on mine have failed which sucks. So I’m just keeping it alive and using the 1 HDMI because I do love its smooth look and the speakers are killer!!! Cheers.

I purchased this version because my original copy was stolen with my car cd player and about 20 other CDs. At least something good came from that.

I do feel a little sad for anyone that does not have those original arcade sounds from the 80s or 90s in their memory banks.

@@RetroGamingNook me too. Those were some great times, eh.🙌

On a Windows PC they recommend the A7800 emulator. Yeah, it’s awesome. MegaMania by Activision on the 2600 was clearly inspired by this game.

Games made like this proves the 7800 could have been a “slight” challenger to the NES if they would have released it in 1984.

@@RetroGamingNook yeah, I agree with that.

Thanks! I have never actually played on a real 7800. Maybe I’ll find one this summer at yard sale. I do wish I had one to enjoy these on, but they play great on the computer through emulation anyway.

Thanks for watching! I love the retro feel...🎳 I recently purchased the mid-90s retail copy off ebay, it works on both older Mac and PC.

I believe it's actually reverse of that since this game is based on the original Ten Pin Alley. BCPB definitely uses the same engine but tweaked to be better. and those physics would eventually be used for Fast Lanes/Strike Force Bowling

@@ChanceOfOne344254 Strike Force/ Fast lanes definitely use the same sound effects but I'm not 100% the engine/physics are the same.

Thanks. I have at least another couple videos worth of games I own. These have been fun going way back. BTW, I’m loving your content! Cheers.

That disc was in my LucasArts Archives I collection for decades... I never looked at it before this year. It was originally made for Windows 3.1 and Mac System 7. My iMac is dual boot 9 and X. Now I'm curious too if it will run on the Bondi Blue iMac as I ran this one in a VirtualBox instance of WIndows 95. Cheers!

Oh, nice.

It came in a collection of Lucas Arts games I have from the 90s. I never looked at the screensavers till recently.

Thanks! I will be checking out your C64 gameplay for sure!

I was surprised I liked it better on the Atari.

I’ll be playing Phoenix next time for sure. I have about 18 more arcade ports I own. I looked up that there’s about 50 more I don’t own!

I’m one of the freaks that like ET. I used to watch my brother beat ET in the early 80s. I do love the modern home-brews too! I agree, they have made amazing ports and new titles. Thanks for the comment!

@@RetroGamingNook Oh I Still Have My 7800 & OG Copy of E.T. My Youngest Lady Loves it, She and I also beat Simpsons Arcade Together, Great 7 yr. old Memmory for Life

Correct, you need a primary GPU. You may need a different set of drivers depending on the card model and OS (maybe not). It could take some trial and error... It really helps to have that little Donut program, or one like it to easily test if your Voodoo card is working. Make sure you scan your drivers and downloads from any site before using them. I use VirusTotal online. Good luck!

Yeah, it’s been delisted from many other game services. But they’ll release it eventually again.

@@RetroGamingNook I really liked the game back in the day.

I still need to get one of those evercades.

I’m having fun for sure.

Simple game, but fun. I sure am glad to have found a new cheap OEM bulb for this TV, I missed playing games on it.

I was not good at 720° but it was wicked fun in the arcades. Plays decent on here. The wife is hungry = Priorities Cheers brother!

I still have both legendary compilations, MIDWAY ARCADE TREASURES 1 and 2, for the PlayStation 2 😺👍🕹️. And i'm not gonna lose them 😹🤘!

I’m looking to pick that system up as it’s been on sale lately. I have Kaboom for my real Atari, it’s a classic!

Yeah, I can respect the graphics produce on an Atari 2600, considering the massive restrictions, but gameplay always wins out. I always appreciate you checking out my channel!

Thanks. I was dying to get a ColecoVision, but my dad got a Color Computer.. oh well. But I was living near the malls and Service Merchandise had one set up. Played plenty of Donkey Kong and Pepper II on it.

🤔You mean you discovered you have been doing it wrong all this time? lol.

I didn’t know there was a Mac version. I would love to try lay it on the old G3.

@@RetroGamingNook I remembered all the music and sounds of this game.

It’s been super fun so far. BTW, I am watching your new video right now… I would love FDS!

Haha, yeah. Thanks. I think I lost about 4 strokes between both of them from mistakes. But I had a ton of fun playing both characters! If someone could hack Mean 18 someday to include wind. I bet it will happen.

This little fella is going to be trouble. He has more personality than me. lol

I still play it a few times every year since we got an NES in ‘87.

I think you will win.😂

@@TheRetroManRandySavage I like the WIN WIN situation

Ok…Thats cool. That’s the incentive I need to try harder. Thanks a ton. I’ll probably play it for a while today while it’s still out of storage with fresh batteries!

That could work if I’m not too aggressive. I kinda wish they had put a screw threading on the bottom of plug n play games like cameras have to affix them to some sort of base.
