I'm really into retro gaming myself. Loved those games at the time and still do today!
I found that the lack of high end audio and graphics was compensated by great ideas and gameplay (which is what really matters!)
I'm shocked there's not really much of an online platform for early consoles and 8 and 16 bit computer games.

A 2 player online version of Booga-Boo. A small flea trying to escape a deep pit while a dragon chases him. Still a fave 20 years later!

I recently checked out the notorious Atari 2600 game of E.T The Extraterrestrial. So bad, a warehouse amount of the cartridges were left to melt 30 feet below the Arizona desert.
It was as bad as that!

Hi Andii, good to have you here. My name is Carl, I'll try and help you out. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

You probably would like to upload it from your machine. You have to make sure that it is the proper size first. You can do that by opening any photo editing program, and open the picture, then click to the "resize" option in your program, probably in the "image" tab, or in the "edit" tab. Once you do that change the pixels to whatever GZ requires, it tells you that in your profile/avatar area. The pixel option is hiding kind of, it probably says "inches", just drop the arrow down for the pixel option. Then resize it to the proper size, and save it.

Then go to the "upload image from your machine" option (or something close to that) in your Hostboard profile. Browse your machine to get to your picture, and then click on it, and then close everything out with the "O.K." tabs, or whatever you have the option on, and then you will save your profile and be done. The hardest part is resizing the damn picture. You have a new machine, so you should have full capabilities in your photo programs for the time being. That is one of the things that basic photo programs don't let you do. It sucks.

Good luck!

Try and follow what I wrote. It's all trial and error, and take your time to look around your screens, and you should be able to figure it out. If you aren't really familiar with computers, it takes a little time. I use these beasts everyday for atleast 10 hours a day, and it took me a little time to figure out the avatar thing, so don't feel bad if it is a pain in the butt. If I am on the Yahoo Messenger thing tonight, and I see you, I will gladly try and walk you through it. What is your name on that so I can find you? I still haven't installed it yet, but I can tell you now that my name on it will probably be zombiezilla.

Cool...whats your name on Yahoo? I was playing around with that messenger last night with Al and Raggz. Pretty friggin' cool that thing is! Time flies on it though, and it is addictive. I love the emoticons, especially the "rolling on the floor laughing" one! I want that guy as either a T-Shirt or an avatar.
