Some devices have a secondary sometimes non removable battery, that can retain things like clock/alarm settings while the primary batteries are being removed/replaced.

it is a handheld, game and watch. not to be confused with wrist watch, more like a pocket watch.
and yes by all means make more posts. i made this post thinking it would be mere trivia, but i've now learned how close i came to destroying my stuff. and i doubt i'm the only one. people on
Snowflake commented on blog entry A mildly curious mystery in Snowflake

Agree with John but whats going to change here? Basically Data you're just saying let the best player play and if they can get anyone else to play with them get a two, three, ten player score? Makes no sense but then again what does with any of these rules/etc....

I play 1943 with Brian Kuh from time to time. We are both great at that game, but when you play second player you may find it a bit difficult at first because of the odd positioning of the controls on arcade (second player is really off to the right, not much room.I say the game should keep going after

I like the universal rule, but I think Admin here is going to only going to apply that to new tracks. My guess.

as a side note, nes had a snap on shell joystick. intellivision has something simliar. believe it or not, as crappy as it was, i needed it for level 11 battletoads.
the snap on joystick absolutely helped with corner, despite it introducing slight lag due not really being connected but just pushing.

yes, the typical phrase is "cant give an advantage". whats really meant though is nothing like rapid fire. obviously every thing has an advantage, thats why its made. but hte advantage of comfort -- which matters ALOT in marathons for exxample, doesnt count.
more responsive connections

If you can take this information and create a wiki page in the twin galaxies wiki section we can link this in the additional information on Mame rules as a member suggestion to potentially help expedite community analysis..

Thanks "Asteriod-machine" for your effort doing all of the analysis. I support you in your request.
Snowflake commented on blog entry Would like a universal rule applied. in redelf
i'm really not arguing this as i dont do teams, but i've honestly always questioned in my mind the tracks that have the rules. I understand the point is it isnt about one person, but to me thats just it. if one person all by themselves can defeat a team, it seems like a weird complaint for the

This is actually a really catch tune! Hats off to the performers.
The system won't be ready for prime time until 15th of April 2021 sadly. I am still very interested. This does not look like vapourware to me. Lets see who comes out first. Atari VCS or Amico. I look forward to reliving my youth, fighting over which system was better. Intellivision!!!

My favorite part of the King of Kong is Steve Weibe's drum solo. Here he does one an a regular size kit.

Arcade Culture: Donkey Kong Musical
Another highly entertaining adaptation of the King of Kong. These ladies really do a good job. The audience is in stitches.
KING OF KONG: THE MUSICAL is written by Amber Ruffin & Lauren Van Kurin and directed by Brendan Hunt Featuring Lauren Van Kurin and Amber Ruffin
Arcade Culture: It never stops being entertaining
What I find so interesting about the arcade world is the communities that have sprung up in support of ancient machines and games.Some of us grew up next to an arcade, some only heard about them from the old timers. But now they have made a comeback and people outside of the arcade world are contributing
