Official Match Thread S33 Round 4 - Fighting Furies vs Roys FFC at rfctigerarmy's hippodrome

[Elmer_Hauser]

This gem just came in the mail for me today, can't wait to find the right occasion to debut it

Blue goes so much better with Yellow than Black.

 

[Dingster]

Wife bought me a vintage Galaga cabinet for my birthday. Not one of them new Raspberry Pi in a boxes, one of them classic ones from the old fish and chippy shops. You gotta put $1 coins in it and everything.

Long term I want to convert it into a raspberry pi box tho.

She's a keeper!

This is brlliant! I never really saw the game on the machines. It was just Space Invaders or Asteroids for me.

Won't be long now, soon your dream will come true!!! (just so you know, Galaga goes here!) :

you guys are massive nerds. get a life

This is known as a false dichotomy.

 

[Mobbs]

I have a old 1982 coleco vision, still works
Mobbs do you know much about it

I don't know it. I did go to google and noticed its kind of a console, perhaps? I never owned a console. Only the C64, then early IBM PCs such as XT, AT, PS2.

Still to this day have never used a console.

Do I even ask about the discrepancy between this and your avatar?

Why you never used one?

I was treating console players like the trash they are long, long, long before it was rad and brill.

Console>PC (in some cases)
I'm on both

I lost a bet on the Association Football Board before last year's Champions League final, and stuck with that awful avatar until the completion of the Premier League Season.

But I a am life long dyed in the wool Leeds fan #MOT

I have always preferred consoles myself, bur the Commodore Amiga was very underrated, such a versatile computer with so many excellent games and translations of arcade/coin up classics.

Ahh sorry that happened to you!

 

[TedDougChris]

It's same game as most folks know by "Galaga".

Loved that game, there was a hidden secret in the cabinet/console version.....

Elite was a good game! But I never owned my own Amiga or even C128. Just the C64. Spent heaps of time on it, including teaching myself Basic programming language, writing my own games and tools, including footy simulators.
Which leads us to the Sweet FA subforum ...

depends on what you're playing but with the delays in getting consoles a PC is an easier option

A few years ago Aldi were selling the shorter versions of the 1UP arcades. They're made in QLD

C'mon Roys, stop trying to bore the Furies into a loss.

Enough of this Nerd stuff.

 

[Greenery]

Dingster, thoughts on the slime green in the Furies? Its not quite the bio degradable camouflage I had originally envisioned, but it suits.

 

[Mobbs]

I have again singlehandedly turned a match thread into a work of art. I don't know how I can live with my ego, which is entirely earnt.

Ask me. I support it. Dingster doesn't know shit.

 

[ImissFrosty]

[Greenery]

Ask me. I support it. Dingster doesn't know sh*t.

Yes he does, we were going to rebrand the Furies together back in s31.
