Strobe warning at 1:54.
Gave up due to screen interactions and flashing cursors.
Still relevant after all these years!
This whole video is great, but Iâm leaving this link to just the last couple of minutes.
The most depressing collection of holiday-themed software.
Back when I could regularly watch tv and movies, the âOnâ button would turn things on, âOffâ would turn them off, â<<â and â>>â would rewind and fast forward without going haywire, and âHelpâ didnât exist and wouldnât turn everything off.
And while Netflix was a dvd rental service, they didnât have an animation-filled pain screen.
P.S. I donât remember â<<â causing slow frame-by-frame movement, but if repeated, fast movement, without stopping when released.
Fast forward on some machines has three speeds: >, >>, and >>>.
My Sony TV has a red LED on the bezel to tell me itâs turned off. 
My LG has that, plus a menu option (among many, many other options) to not turn that LED on.
I think the config menu for my TV is deeper than the Windows Start menu on my PC.
I swear to god the only thing to bring me to rage is revisit every appliance / widget at 3 am when the led(s) leak or get uncovered.
Iâm trying to find out the name of an arcade video game that involved the Devil and âThe Ride of the Valkyriesâ, circa 1983-1987. I donât think it was Satanâs Hollow, though.
according to IMDB, Satanâs Hollow does use an uncredited version of Ride of the Valkyries in it, so odds are itâs the one youâre looking for!
Thatâs what I thoughtâŚbut I played it in a bar at the height of my alky days, sooooâŚ
Thanks so much!
you are quite welcome! i have a deep love of videogames, and fancy myself a collector â although to date i only own two vintage machines â so your post intrigued me. i was never into Satanâs Hollow, but i do remember the name. iâm partial to early to mid 80s vector-based games (like Tempest), but i dream of owning a Defender machine some dayâŚ
I used to hold my son up so he could play Arkanoid at the Big Lots near us, lol. And when he had a birthday party at the local Little Caesarâs, he fell in love with Tempest. My bro used to play the bar machines like crazy - and he was good, too. Me, I played the Centipede machine at 7-11, the bar stuff came later, LOL!
one of the two machines we own is a Tempest machine â itâs super fun still â but ours is currently down for repairs. i have a new minor board that fixes a known issue that causes a fuse blowout. but damn, that game is still awesome. i liked Centipede, too!
So, my smartphone was behaving like Charly regressing in âFlowers for Algernonâ, so I had to reset it to factory defaults.
Iâm going to use it as a device with which to speak and/or text folks. What a concept, eh?!
Listen for the phrase âparabolic microphoneâ, LOL! From 1972, cued up for your enjoyment:
