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

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.

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

Day 17 of 17.
Final Results ...
The “never played before” kept rolling on. This was a very strategic as well as fun game, that required quite a few coin drops to get going. 160K+ is a very good score on this not well known title.

An update on this game ... a lot of improved scores have been posted, which is great to see. Dazzer has just posted an incredible 2,000,000 points score. He was kind enough to post this video and there are some really good tips in his performance ...
It's a great game ...

pretty much what everyone else said. you only get one free sub. after that its each right vote earns one point, and it costs 3 to submit. vote on whatever you feel comfortable with
and of course, dont forget tg is a combination of both relaxed fun and extremely pedantic important fact finding.
Snowflake commented on blog entry A mildly curious mystery in Snowflake
its definitely power saving. if it doesnt power the equipment, it lasts. this aspect i've proven through testing and experience, its why i continue to do it.
so while you're wrong about it not extending battery life, you make an interesting point about damage. i hadnt considered that.

Good morning fellow netizens,There’s a few exciting stories I’m following in the world of all things Pole Position, a 1980s arcade classic from Namco, but more famously associated in North America with Atari (since it distributed the game in the territory). If you were standing in a quiet

Back in July 1982, Frank Breneman pushed our yellow dot muncher to the limit, clocking 4.5 hours of play to reach a score of 3,149,120. Breneman may have been tired but was still ready to steer Pac-Man through the maze before he reached the famous "kill screen" on level 256. But in a world
