Don't worry, I'm sure a quantity of them will break when I move house in March/April, leading to a whole new set of challenges to report here!exxos wrote: Mon Jan 18, 2021 4:11 pm2 weeks later...

Re: RJs Adventures in Mega land III
Yes, but an approach that would very much positively impact your dead machine count
Anyway, if you have more than one dead one, you're not trying hard enough

Re: RJs Adventures in Mega land III
@rubber_jonnie , reading your mega posts remind me of a ASPCA TV commercial.
Help Rubber Jonnie stop Atari Mega cruelty. The Mega you have with all its teeth knocked out is hard to look at, and they all seem to come to your home with Alzheimer's. Maybe you should start a "Go Fund Me" page for the care and feeding of abused Mega's.

Re: RJs Adventures in Mega land III
Jon, if I've ever seen Mega cruelty its that machine where the previous owner cut its lips off and knocked its teeth out. There should be an investigation and that individual sentenced to a long prison term without the possibility of parole.rubber_jonnie wrote: Tue Jan 19, 2021 6:45 pm That sounds like a fine idea to me

Re: RJs Adventures in Mega land III
Are we all picking on @rubber_jonnie again...
But still, getting the things running is pretty good going!

Re: RJs Adventures in Mega land III
Not really @exxos , maybe the savage he purchased the one Mega from. Mr Jonnie should be commended for providing a home for abused and wayward Mega's. He did cure the Alzheimer’s two of the machines suffered from.
