I agree. I think it's getting too complex for its own good.

I was just a bit too old in the 80s for cartoons. I was watching David Letterman, MTV and shows like Hill Street Blues, Taxi and Cheers. My best friend at the time mentioned Danger Mouse in one of our home made radio shows, so maybe he watched that. It's fun to see these today. My friend now is into anime and such, and so watching old cartoons and cheesy scifi/fantasty TV like Wizards and Warriors (which I just got) is perfect during game breaks. 

Yeah, I watched the trailer for He-Man again and agree with you. It's like most of the animated cartoons of the time, barely passable. Might Orbots though, is wonderful, as is Star Blazers which I watched as a kid and will again once the DVDs aren't so expensive. 

I'll have to check out She-Ra next week. That's a funny, and touching, story. 

I think I saw one episode of the new He-Man and didn't enjoy it, and neither did my friend. Only He-Man should have the sword. That's just not right.

I got past that this time but failed in the Scramble-like sequence.

Jurassic World Evo is a cool series. I found the first one good but sometimes complicated. I'd love to try 2 sometime. It's on Game Pass now too, so I have no excuse.

FarSight Studios, who made the PHF Williams Collection, did The Pinball Arcade which is on Xbox and everything else. It's even better because it has so many tables. They lost the Williams and Bally licenses though so you can only buy the Gottlieb and Stern stuff now. It's still worth it. I was surprised at how few Gottlieb games were on the PHF: Gottlieb Collection. Plenty more on Pinball Arcade though, and still buyable. I bought all three table packs the other day. 

I played the first Lost Planet long time ago. Then tried 2, but it seemed made for co-op and my friend wasn't into it. 3 seems excellent and very playable solo. I likely bought it on a sale or maybe it was a Xbox Games with Gold freebie one month.

I'm watching Ultraman mostly for the sets and models they make. I was a big model maker as a kid and would like to do some now as well. Some of the designs they do are pretty great like the nature scenes and the MAT base. They're way more interesting to me than CG effects. 

I like the reconstructions of real tables more than those video game tables Pinball FX makes. I wish they did more Pinball Hall of Fame collections. FX did a Williams collection, that was good, but there's so many more they could do.

I can't wait for the Super Mario RPG remake!

The arcade machine for Theatrhythm is at an arcade near me. I should make a trip there soon. 

"getting used to" is exactly what I feel in every Nintendo game since the Wii.

I don't know, those batteries went into something. It's a vague memory.

It seems I was just the right age for arcades, 13. I could get on my bike and head to the mall on my own. 

Fantasy is a very interesting game. I found it tough though and didn't get very far in it.

Us kids were crazy for Donkey Kong. We couldn't wait to see the close-to-arcade-perfect ColecoVision version when that came out. 

I couldn't get my PSP to read the UMD for Taito Legends Power-Up where I could play Space Dungeon. Maybe I should turn my PSP into a MAME machine?

I played a little bit of the NES version of Ultima III: Exodus a while back, but I've always wanted to spend more time with an Ultima game.
