There's this tg16 pinball remake out on the Wii in the shape of Wii-ware that is actually quite nice to play. Especially if you know the tg16 original 'Alien Crush'. It is not a stellar 100% score game but to me it scores about 70% out of a 100%. Produced by the original creator Hudson soft.
The graphics are very organic looking with disgusting aliens crawling around. The graphics are somewhat reminiscent of Amiga artwork.
B and Z buttons are used to control the flippers and you can nudge the table by shaking the controller.
When you compare it to Pinball FX this game lacks a bit of depth and the tables - although designed to a high standard - feel somewhat tame. Well worth the money of the Wii is a console you own and you feel the need for some electronic pinball that plays like the real thing!
Elise and I went on a little trip to Emmen to be out of town on the last day of the year.
Emmen Zoo - frozen waterfall filmed on the last day of the year
Emmen Zoo - another frozen waterfall filmed on the last day of the year
Emmen Zoo - elephants enjoying fresh branches in Emmen Zoo on the last day of the year. During the winter months the Elephants spend a lot of time in the stables but they are able to withstand freezing temperatures too and enjoy some time out doors as well. In this little video you can see the latest addition to the elephant-family - a 3 month old elephant boy.
The moment I got back I had a package waiting for me it was my ethernet/svideo/component/composite/audio/optical audio 4-port switch for underneath my 26" Samsung LCD. I attached my PS2 over component - the stock PAL PS2 does offer component connection contrary to the stock PAL Xbox. It features a nice display with programmable names so it is easy to select the proper input. It's great for multiple ethernet enabled consoles.
I wonder - is there a component gamecube cable on the market?
After cleaning up some of my boxes in the attic I discovered no less than 4 daisy chain serial cbm cables for use with my C16, Vic20, C64 machines and the 1540 and 1541, 1541 diskdrives I have lying around. Still three glorious days of vacation left until I start my new job next Tuesday.
