Battlefield Earth.
Yes, but that’s pretty miniscule compared to booting any of the linux based retro handhelds. An Bernice, Powkiddy, R36S, they all have like a 30-40 second boot time.
It’s completely comparable in this circumstance. They are performing similar functions, playing handheld games. My R36S is a pretty impressive little device, and it performs excellently at playing games. But using it is much more complicated and longer than popping a game in a gameboy.
Gameboy: insert game, turn on, play, turn off. R36S: turn on, 30-40 second boot time, locate game, play, exit emulator, shut down, 10 second shutdown time.
I tried this, and I just hear Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. No apple appeared. But I know I do picture things in my mind, all the time. Weird that I can’t right now.
I helped my dad install a new dumb thermostat last winter. We just had to drill a couple of new holes to mount it, and moved the wires over. Boom,there was heat again. I thought about how much of a pain in the ass it was to get my Ecobee working, and how refreshing it was to just have something work immediately.
It’s a very similar feeling to playing my GameBoy Color again after messing around with retro gaming linux handhelds. You just turn it on and play, then just turn it off. No boot sequences, no emulator settings to tweak. No SD card corruption that ruins your game library. Just on and off.
If the devil was real, it would be anise and krokodil.
Was it the Monster Beast Unleashed?
Just drink Painquil! It’s acetaminophen, and it’s 10% alcohol! The old liver double whammy.
I do! Too bad the N64 version looks like old ass.
If it had two sticks and a DVD drive, it would have been really great. But they stuck with the kinda dumb Saturn layout, despite the Dual Shock being out for a couple years at that point. The keyboard and mouse support was an awesome addition, but a dual analog controller would have been awesome.
And, it works with the Dreamcast VGA cable. Very nice picture quality.
Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!
I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.
I need three desks. Modern PC desk, retro PC desk, and a soldering desk. Otherwise, perfect.

You could tell me that was somebody from the 1980’s WWF and I’d totally believe you. Like, a cross between Captain Lou and Tugboat.
