Re: New Pac-Man? What design do you like best?
I really like the more illustrative look in D the best. Though I can see why Pac-Purists (PP?) would go with B. That's a really classic lookin' Pac-Man.

Re: Sega is back in Hardware...sort of
A friend showed me those a few days ago. I LOVE the concept, but have to agree with some of the comments here. The execution is a touch chintzy.

Re: Super Mario Family Tree Infographic
:shock: Very nice and informative! I especially like the little Fun Facts boxes at each level, interesting about the possible gun for Mario Bros Arcade. I wonder how that would have panned out for later games, the fire spitball in the NES for example. Will there be a volume two for the later games?...

Re: Super Mario Family Tree Infographic
I always wanted to do something like this, but never had the time or patience to put the idea into effect. Besides the point, I'd kill to have a huge poster of this hanging on the wall of my room. Thanks! It was one of those things I'd always really wanted to do. Just one of those things that you n...

Re: Super Mario Family Tree Infographic
Wow, that's alot of appearances, did you play through all those games to find him? Ha! No, I'm not quite that dedicated. Living in the technological wonderland that we do I was able to pull most of the sprites and information from Google. Also, I don't think I've ever seen as much truth in a quote ...

Super Mario Family Tree Infographic
So I created an infographic that includes most of Mario's in-game appearances from 1981-1996. Thought I'd see what the RackeyBoy community thought of it.
Thanks! Would love to hear your feedback!

Re: The Art of Video Games at the Smithsonian
the exhibit is about the ART of video games. Not the history of them. Didn't stop them from using LCD screens or only giving historical data on Pac Man instead of explaining the ghost AI I did take issue with the exhibits being displayed on LCDs instead of traditional, interlaced CRTs. I don't see ...

Re: The Art of Video Games at the Smithsonian
I'm curious, did you get to see the Twin Galaxies trading card ceremony for Bushnell? I would've liked to have seen that. Sadly, stupid me didn't register for a free pass early enough and I missed out on getting to go to it. They did however stream it live, so I'm certain there's a recording of tha...
