Keep Calm And Discuss Retro Generally!

Tetris was developed the year I was born and Ice Climber and 1942 were released at the end of the year, so it began and ended in a bang. And the middle bits were good as well, with Paperboy and Punch Out!

23rd July 1984 : Vanessa Williams, the first black Miss America, gave up her crown after sexually explicit photos of her appeared in the September issue of Penthouse magazine.

On 23rd July 1984, the DART service began operating, and since that date, it has become one of the country’s greatest public transport success stories. It is an icon of Dublin, and has played a crucial role in the life of Dubliners over the 25 years, with almost half a billion passenger journeys made

Porn stars and public transport. Interesting mix!

Nothing happened on my birthday! The only thing of note is that it's international museum day and world aids vaccine day.

Whats the most yee dudes would pay for a Gameboy Advance Sp in good condition, no box though?

A guy I know is offering it for €25 along with Crash Nitro Kart, good deal?

I picked up a tidy blue sp and a silver pocket off adverts for 25. No boxes our games though. Loose Crash cart is only worth about 2 euro, I would say 20 euro absolute maximum for the lot with charger and depending on condition being very good. Model 101 gba sp are worth far more but harder to find.

Could easily get one for a tenner. Now if its an ags101 take it man.
Better off getting a micro instead of a advance sp ags 001.

Is it a Zelda or new version though?

Edit: the monkeykube is quick.

Not gaming but a brilliantly shot music video - done like an FPS/Mirror's Edge type mix. A bit violent and one cleavage shot so defo NSFW. Cidey feel free to remove if you think it's not appropriate. Made me wonder is this what the Oculus Rift might be like 10 years from now.

Does anyone know anything about making music on PC? I just wasted the whole day today downloading gigabytes of samples and free digital audio workstations and either they don't work or are utter ****. Has anyone got any advice?
