Yar’s Revenge Remake??

I remember Yar’s Revenge back in the day.  It was a very hard game.  I believe I was the only one of my friends that finished it.  And we used to have speed contests finishing Adventure.  Now there’s an old 2D game that needs a remake.  I was skeptical at first, since this game was not that popular, but it looks like they have a good idea and re-imagining going on.

Now, compare to the original.

You mean they still make cassettes?

The Standalone Cassette MP3 player would have been incredibly useful back in the early '00s, before we hooked up iPods and iPhones directly to our car (via cassette adapter), but it's still pretty neat now. The body looks and behaves like a standard cassette tape, but has a slot on the bottom for an SD slot filled with MP3s. The only downsides are that it only holds SD cards up to 2GB, needs to be recharged, but at least it can be controlled via your car's head unit.

1GB HDD: 20 Years Of Progress

Being caught up in our every day lives we sometimes forget how far we're come. To the left is 1GB IBM HDD, and to the right is a SD card that is the equivalent of the same 1GB.

It's amazing what 20 years of technology will bring you, isn't it?
