I'll probably wait until Netflix for Mortal Engines, but part of the premise reminds me of one of my top five favorite games of all time: Final Fantasy 6.  In that game, there is a castle in the middle of the desert.  It looks just like an ordinary castle, but at one point it turns into a giant machine that can dig through the sand and move to different areas.  That blew my mind when I first saw it in the game.  Man that game was good!

I've seen three movies so far this winter: The Grinch, Ralph Breaks the Internet, and the Spider Man cartoon.  And I also did Ralph Breaks VR.  I'll talk about them when I do my winter movie blog, which probably won't be until February when all the winter movies I want to see are out.

Yeah Prehistoric Isle alway stuck out in my mind for some reason.

Yeah I played tons of Ikari Warriors with friends as a kid, too.  But the NES version isn't very good.  

My Game of the Year blog will go up sometime in January.  My GOTY may be a bit of a surprise, though.  Not what you might expect.  Care to take a guess?

The 5200 was technically my first gaming console.  Sure I played the 2600 and others at friends' and families' houses, but the 5200 was the first one I owned.  I got it for Crhistmas one year and I didn't even ask for it, so it was a total surprise.  Before then I played games on our Apple 2+ computer, which I was OK with since the games were better on that than the 2600 anyway.  The 5200 staved my desire to own a NES for about a year, as I was perfectly happy playing games like Pengo on it during the crash and games were cheap on it.

Another one that comes to my mind is the NES version of Gun.Smoke.  The arcade game was all right, but I loved the NES version and rented it a few times as a kid.  It's interesting to note that the Red Dead Redemption games have a VERY slight relation to the Gun.Smoke game.

I think I read somewhere that Saboteur was retooled into an A-Team game, starring Mr. T's head.

I'm working on my SNK collection blog right now.

I remember playing Fire Truck at a place called Crystal's Pizza.  Remember when people used to go to resturants and sit down and eat pizza?

LEGO Batman was fun, even if it was just LEGO Dimensions: The Movie.

Right now I'm working on an SNK 40th Anniversary Collection blog.  It's getting harder and harder to find the time to write these things.

I want to live in Arcade Town.  

At E3 last year, one of the companies making mini arcade cabinets had them on display with a Ken doll standing over one like he was playing it.

I put that Atari clasics collection on my Christmas list.  Gotta give the family some ideas to get me.
