it auto pauses?

how often?

Tatsujin · 07/14/2009, 07:08 AM

Quote from: guyjin on 07/14/2009, 06:11 AM how often?

like all 15 mins or so iirc.

SuperDeadite · 07/14/2009, 08:29 AM

Auto-pause depends on the game. Some do it by time (every 15 minutes or so). Other games do it at set points. Vertical Force auto-pauses between every stage. You can disable the auto-pause feature also. Yeah Vertical Force is fun, very "soldier-ish" and a one of the best VB games. It really makes me want to try Blade Eagle on SMS, as they both have the same 2-plane gimmick.

$30 for the Virtual Boy, $5 for the games, $10,000 for the Vicodin addiction you will soon develop.

Don't play the system after a few beers. Teleroboxer is way fun but if your not careful

Hey guys,

I finaly got my money so I could pay for my newly used Pace Digital Soldering Station! I believe I can use solder tweezes with this station for easy chip removal as well! This sucker has a range of 350 - 850 degress F!

I almost bought a solder/desolder rework station but man those things jump at the last minute on the auctions...so this was my next best choice!

Picked it up for $40

Coolness! Always nice to get free stuff!

Hows that Afterbuner game? Is it worth buying?

Tatsujin · 07/17/2009, 11:52 PM

the pce afterburner was by far the best 8/16bit conversion. it was 1stly beaten by the x32 version years later. so yes, it's very worth. especially if playing it on the GT/LT.

Ice packs? Those workhorses didn't even break a sweat!

They didn't get any quarters for their hard work however the door is always open for free play any time they wish.. Come to think of it, Oldskool actually found a fistfull of change in the bottom of Power Stone but refused to keep it.
