Can you tell me more about this? I've never heard of it, and have always thought that it would be cool to upscale old videogames.

I remember seeing "pros" in the arcade doing combos with something like 40 hits. They were using that character with the crowbar, can't recall his name.

It's funny reading this stuff. I played in what would become "EVO", way back in 1992. There were around 40 people there, about ten of them competing. It was held at an arcade that was downstairs in the La Jolla mall in San Di

Yep. I think my Mom is typical: because of Prop 13, she can't move. Her property taxes on a new home would be 20X as much. Due to this, she's kinda 'stuck.' She lives in a house that's larger than what she needs, bu
