There was someone in a human-computer interaction class when I was in college who took the outer shell of a dead Atari 2600 and put a Raspberry Pi with a ton of 2600 ROMs in it. His goal was to configure it to eventually work with a Xbox controller. I wasn't in the class myself, but they were often in class when I was working in the computer lab in there.
I did get to play test a few (Keyboard only at the time). I tried Pitfall, E.T. (Yes, THAT one), a Berenstain Bears game (didn't seem to work past the title screen), and a couple of others. They had about everything on there.

The Berenstain Bears game likely didn't work because it was one of two games released by Coleco that required the "KidVid Voice Module" and used an audio cassette player for the game to function.
In other weird things, Mythra is apparenyly too much for Smash!
Be yourself, no matter who you are!
For me, that's being madly in love with fictional characters. Plz don't judge.
Yes, my first anime was High School DxD. Don't ask or judge!

@Knuckles-Fajita Yesssss! Do you have to work Friday evening, though?
Apparently my new office chair should arrive Thursday, as well. I may have asked accounting to order me a gaming chair. 😅
It’s supposed to pour buckets Thursday night, so I think I’ll go by the store at 9 to get my pre ring and Katamari, then get up there again before midnight.

Ah, cool! I didn't know about that. I mainly just tried it for kicks since I was really into those books as a kid. They're also one of the few kiddy series that I'll still pick up and read on occasion....
Overall I enjoyed the games I got to try out. I'm pretty sure they had about everything 2600 on that Pi, including the infamous ones. E.T. is as bad as everyone says it is. XD
That was a wonderful computer lab. I recall the time someone loaded Typing of the Dead onto some of the computers as well. Talk about a fun/campy game!
I'll be having a fairly normal Friday. I'll be Smashing with everyone else in a few months.

Found out my tv is one of those that turns on when I put the Switch in the dock. I'll probably keep that on for now just for the heck of it, but I'll eventually turn it off because I know there is going to be that one night where I just want to charge the Switch and turn on the whole tv.
Woo! Smash! I have it pre-ordered and getting delivered to my house. So when I get it depends on Fed ex. Crossing my fingers I get it a day early but when I want something a day early is when I don't get it until Monday so Yeah... we'll see.
These pretzels are making me thirsty

I just finished Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin and unlocked "Richiter" mode, which lets you play as Richter Belmont (SOTN prologue version). Having a Belmont that is able to run, slide, do his uppercut and double jump with a front flip feels amazing! I really appreciate the older Catlevania games with limited movement because the game was built around that, but I would definitely love to see this kind of gameplay in a new Castlevania game since the beginning, even if it's linear and not Metroivania style. It's a shame that there's almost no possibility of that happening because of Konami...
Instant Tennis. Racist Tennis more like. Demo only lets you choose brown skinned avatars. Plus, it's crap. Deleted.
Fitness Boxing. Demo too restrictive, even putting it on Free Training it still treats you like a noob and so you can't just d/l it and put it through its paces. Deleted.
You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
