Yesssssss that is Awesome! I assume you're playing it through your Game Box Hero? I still have my Retro Freak but haven't used it in the past two years. I found the 2018 Christmas thread where we posted about them.

That must be an interesting feeling. The closest I've got to an experience like that is driving a DUKW boat on the Charles river in Boston.

If I were a cheating man who did a reverse Google image search, I'd say it was Traxxas' headquarters in McKinney Texas. :mrgreen:
My Google-fu apparently is inferior. It came up with a different suggestion. 🤣

Yup. About 4 years ago I bought the Platinum Plus upgrade card. Finally installed it today. It is definitely worth it. Several new systems and games. Much better UI also.

Terribly familiar looking……
Super Awesome, that was one of the coolest experiences there when my family and I went in 17’.

I'm going to have to look into it. I love my Retro Freak but the Game Box Hero is already preloaded and ready to go. The only issue I have with emulators is they can cause the games to have certain problems.

Ha! :lol: That's a really good job! Out of all the domain names I own, rcproam.com is one of my favorites.

Get out!... you own the rcproam.com domain??? Are you doing anything with it? I tried to visit it but was blocked... edge apparently thinks you're a scammer. :lol:

Yup! One boring winter day back in 2013 I decided to go through all of the NES game titles one by one to see what was available to register. I amassed a small list, and registered those I liked with one of them being rcproam.com. I immediately set it so the domain name would bring you to here, and it's been that way ever since.

I'm glad you mentioned your browser was blocking it as it shouldn't be. I currently own 13 R/C related domain names with most bringing you here. I tried some of them, and they are indeed blocked due to a security certificate misconfiguration. :? I had no idea but know when it happened. Last month when I had to implement the use of Cloudflare into the site here, it appears to have messed up all of our alternative domain name usages. With that being the case, I now have something else I need to fix. :|

It was a long drawn-out process but I've fixed the security certificate and redirection problems for all our domain names. With that being the case, rcproam.com now brings you here once again. :)
