Hmmm …
Interesting to hear.
Apparently?
Nintendo are to release — or re-release, more accurately — a version of their Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or SNES at some point.
Sounds good: although I was never a fan.
But it does tell me something.
Retro’s getting popular.
After all it follows Nintendo’s re-release of their NES, the various updated iterations of the ZX Spectrum, and Sega’s re-release of various MegaDrive titles.
Times like this?
I’m saddened that money is tight: some of those retro consoles look good.

Let’s move on, shall we? Before I go and look up Mac versions of Atic Atac.

“I don’t judge people who eat meat—that’s not for me to say—but the whole thing just sort of bums me out.”Tobey Maguire, born 27th June, 1975.
Today’s questions will be answered in tomorrow’s Teaser.
Enjoy your day.
* You are facing issues, Olga! Hmmm … I’ve been to the odd convention, over the years: as a fan, rather than a business person. But I’ve picked up the impression that they made their money on the tickets sales, rather than the rent from merchandise tables. I think the last one I went to, had bronze, silver and gold tickets: with bronze being the basic ticket, and silver and gold getting you into the VIP events. Would that be something to try?
† Then I’ll definitely have to make time, Debbi! A basic, plus a premium service seems like a good idea! As for Dr Who … ? Hmmm … What do you think, Debbi? Will the regeneration be next week … ? Or Christmas … ? No spoilers!
‡ Is it just me, Trevor, or did the Romans have bloody complicated names?
Q1) Russia
ReplyDeleteQ2) Nicaragua
Q3) chess
Q4) Marius
Q5) Cyril of Alexandria
Thanks, Paul. The issue is that the fair was to sell books and if you intend to charge people for the pleasure of buying books by unknown authors... Well, it is not going to work. I did suggest that the part of the talks for writers, etc, should be organised as a paying conference for writers. I have already decided to change my status in the cooperative as until I decide what I'm going to do long-term I cannot commit to it, and if it has any chance of getting anywhere it needs people who will invest their time on it.
I hope the vintage versions of the consoles won't be as slow as they were at the time (you could go, cook and have a meal while they loaded up a game...)
Take care!
Goodness. To have to wait until Christmas? Ahhh...!
ReplyDeleteWell, no spoilers from my end. Promise! :)
