Not sure about where to put this, but I think it could generate discussion, so here it goes:
For the past few months, maybe a year or so, there's been a lot of hand-wringing online about AI generated stories & the like. But such programs aren't exactly new. Here's a brief history of them, from...
This weekend I found a box for a game called "Chekoes." Sadly, the box was empty, so I didn't buy it. I'm having trouble finding more information on the game; it's a checkers variant with scoring, based on either moves or captures. The only reference I've found online is this old ad someone's...
Here's to the only streaming service I use semi-regularly, not counting YouTube. I'll miss you, Pokémon TV.
Maybe I can just aim a camera at my TV screen & copy my old tapes to my computer?
Entry for the 2021 Comedy One Shot contest. https://forums.serebii.net/threads/make-me-laugh-–-a-comedy-one-shot-contest.682328/
Saw that I still had this in my messages folder, so I figured I’d post it now instead of later:

Inspired by this article: Movie History Has Never Been More Accessible, So Why Do Classic Film Fans Still Feel It’s Threatened? (msn.com)
This is a place to discuss movies of the past. What are your favorites? Least favorites? Why?
A few months ago, I said I'd try to answer a few things which came up in the "What would Happen if Litton collapsed" thread. Here: What will happen to saturday morning cartoon if Litton were to shut down?
I never got around to it, so let's fix that.
First, a lot of folks have said that kids...
I’ve been interested in this unreleased Virtual Boy game for a long time, but info on it is scarce. Just found out it was far enough along to get an ESRB rating: Blog about Parental Controls | ESRB Ratings
Anyone know more about it?
Yahoo announced they were closing their Q&A service. Is anyone trying to archive the threads there? I’ve been trying to add threads to the Wayback Machine, & it looks like most have never been backed up before.
Do you like them? Or is the concept too cheap? Does they count as animated works, comics, or something else?

Sears, a Onetime Retail Giant, Now Banks on Bankruptcy
So sears finally declared Chapter 11. If they will or won't actually re-organize, I don't know.
Went to Sears a few months ago. It was very quiet. Sears can't even afford Muzak.
The store itself was still fairly nice, but there was...
Yahoo Japan is planning on closing their version of Geocities. I can't put what I feel into words. I know a lot of info will be lost; there's no way Archive.org can get everything. And what they can get will probably be hard to access. I'm sad, & a bit shocked, tho perhaps I shouldn't be...

Someone's translating Takeshi Shudo's Pokemon novels. Takeshi Shudo was the head writer for the Pokemon TV show till the end of the Johto series. Apparently his earliest ideas were darker than what was animated.

Well this is historic. The old online service closed a few years ago, but their website still had forums. Now those are gone too.
Honestly, I thought this was coming when DMOZ closed; they're owned by the same people. Still kinda sad; they'd been up...
Did anyone else see this article? I thought it was an interesting read.

First a disclaimer: I've never played Dungeons & Dragons. I'm not really interested in the game, or most non-video games. (Yes I know there are D&D video games, dating back to the Intellivision at least.) I am, however, curious about it and the controversy it caused. That puts me closer to this...
The forum's still up, but the admin's planning on moving it to another domain: https://forum.digitpress.com/forum/show ... navailable
This is making me very sad. I mostly used DP as a directory; they had a large list of sites about classic game systems, some of which they hosted. I know...

I know 3 exclamation points are a bit much, but this deserves them. Bosconnian is one of my favorite classic games, and it's sorely overlooked. Playing as a space ship you fly around a scrolling play field trying to destroy...

This used to be a good Atari site, but it's kinda been running on fumes for the past decade. They still hosted a lot of fun content, including TSR's Nes Archive. That's still up, (http://www.atarihq.com/tsr/) but I don't know how long it'll last.
