Mattel really did have great box art. Shit controllers, but great cover art and decent graphics for the time. I remember when my buddy got the voice module and B17 Bomber. When that thing talked, it was like magic.

There is a lot to love about living in WV (politics aside) but antenna TV reception is not one of them, sadly. Even moreso since broadcasting went all-digital. Signals don’t travel well around the mountains. I’d go back to an antenna in a heartbeat if I could get decent reception. I’m only about 15 miles away from a couple of the towers and can’t even pick them up without a really huge roof antenna.

I loved it when it came out and would definitely play through it again, but I’m not sure prettier graphics and a few tweaks is worth $60 to me. Since Nintendo doesn’t let their first party games ever get down to a reasonable cost after a while, I’ll skip this one, I think.

If you’ve never played it, though, it’s a really fun game.

Boy, the AI was drinking when it made that summary.

I’ve never heard anyone call the OG Enterprise crew “flat.” It’s definitely a 60s show, but it’s great. Just have fun with it.

Just finished this a couple of days ago. The ending is a bit abrupt, I thought, but I sure did enjoy the ride. I definitely feel like I got my money’s worth.

Looks like 1988. There were quite a few Criterion releases that were laserdisc-only.

I think you’ve misinterpreted what I said. 2001: A Space Odyssey was released by Criterion on laserdisc, not Devil Doll. Not that Criterion hasn’t had a few questionable films in their catalog. They released The Rock and Armageddon. Still scratching my head on those.
