Re: Season's Greetings

Here is hoping that everyone had a merry little Christmas through these troubled times and will have a fantastic 2024. My 2023 was not good, but I am recovering well. It is odd that after living half a century with no medical issues I am suddenly hit with three, one very serious. Keep a positive att...

Re: The Rockford Files

I believe it’s already been posted here somewhere, and it’s not Lego, but the Archer recreation of the MPI opening is fun. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7PEZMCHmxA https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iVTYBplXxSk No, silly. I am able to differentiate between LEGOs and some cartoon called Archer. https://...

Theme song in LEGOs

Here it is. Let me see if I can get the youtube tags to work.

Re: The Rockford Files

The Rockford Files in Lego. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AY4PrlXdBQo Awesome!!! Thank you I second that! Terrific! Is this a "thing", do other people use Legos to recreate scenes from movies/TV series? It would be great to see this done for Magnum PI. Thank you. It seems to be a thing and I appr...

Re: My new 1980s obsession

And, if you haven't tried it, try H.E.R.O. -- one of the best games ever made, and it's on the 2600. I had not tried H.E.R.O. before your recommendation but had heard of it and knew it was some sort of big deal and I like the game now. It is strange that it was ported to so many other systems. How ...

Re: My new 1980s obsession

If you want to pay for it, I'm happy to do the UAV mod on a 2600 for you. I can send pics of the installs I have done, if you want to see. Thanks. That is very nice of you. However I just received my USB adapter and right now I am very satisfied with just emulating the 2600 and using original contr...

Re: My new 1980s obsession

Oh man, I love the 2600 and have one. I modded it with UAV so I have S-video out. I did the same to my Atari 5200. Both of those feed into a 4-way s-video/composite switch which feeds into RetroTINK 2X mini, which then connects to my TV with HDMI. In my mind, the 5200 games are some of the best eve...

Re: My new 1980s obsession

Vaguely recall any of these. We didn't have much money back then so a game console would have been an 'extravagant' purchase. However, I do know it was a big deal when daddy bought some console that had some kind of tank game some time during the 70's. Yeah, that sounds like the Atari 2600. It came...

My new 1980s obsession

I need to get back to the Atari VCS (2600). There are two routes to go: 1) Emulation (using your computer to play the ROMs (games) 2) Hooking up a console to a modern TV. Well, you could hook it up to an old cathode ray tube TV which is the simplest way but I do not have one. Both routes have their ...

Re: How many times have you watched the series?

My vote was three as I have seen the entire show two times, but with syndication I have probably seen it three times total. When it was first run I was a child and had child stuff to do, plus my family had one TV for most of the seasons and my sister was in charge of that for unfair reasons. As a ru...

Re: My Top 25 Magnum Episodes article on Medium.

It is strange that your top show, All For One (S05E15-16), did not even crack the top 40 in the poll results from this site. Personally I really liked it and it would be somewhere in my top 25, probably somewhere in my top 10. It is obvious that you put some thought into your list which is kind of r...

Re: The Rockford Files

Here is good timing on my part. Right now I am watching S02E17 Joey Blue Eyes. Angel Martin was being escorted to a car parked behind Rockford's to be taken. Guess what old Jimbo does? Well, he put his car in reverse and gunned the engine, smashing into the car. This causes confusion and Angel runs...
