6ixStringJack: I have some earlier DOS pinball tables that were actually pretty phenomenal for their time and hold up well today. Once they were able to put 3D graphics into things and could give a real good isometric view of these tables that changed the game. I'd like to play something newer, but I don't have any tech that would play anything beyond those Marvel tables I showed you. I suppose I could probably find them on the High Seas if I wanted to, since the XBox 360 store shut down and I couldn't even buy them on my brother's hand me down system if I wanted to anymore.

6ixStringJack: Both sides of it were the game. The right side was just your score and the high score and some other information while the table was on the left side. It was a pretty basic pinball game, and somehow stayed with Windows for many years over different operating systems. I saw a video about why it was removed from Windows 10. Had something to do with the game not being compatible with 64bit architecture, and it was actually not included in 64bit versions of earlier windows OS either because of that. Some guy did a bunch of coding to get it to finally work on Windows 10 again.

Brenda: Yeah, the one on my lap top had some kind of theme. I just not sure as too what. Think it was sort of space themed. I don't remember what operating system it was on. 7 sounds familiar but not sure.

6ixStringJack: Yeah... Early Atari 2600 game that Video Pinball was. (It's possible in Canada you knew it as the Atari VCS). It was the first system I had when I was a kid. Sold 30 Million units worldwide at the time, which was huge, but consoles these days can sell as much as 5 or 6 times that many. Gaming is so much bigger worldwide these days than it was back then.

6ixStringJack: Was the pinball on your laptop space themed? If it was, that is the one I was talking about. You're probably running something like Windows 7 or Vista or even as early as XP on that laptop. I think that pinball game made it all the way to Windows 7 but they removed it before 10.

6ixStringJack: I wonder if you're talking about the classic Pinball game that Microsoft put in all the Windows until recently. I liked that little pinball game. I've always been a fan of video pinball. In fact, I think "Video Pinball" was the name of the Atari 2600 game we had when I was a kid, and that was pretty awful but I still loved it.

6ixStringJack: Yeah. Those virtual tables were available on the XBox 360 and PlayStation 3 for download almost 15 years ago. The virtual tables they have today must be insane. I bet with motion controls and devices like the Nintendo Switch they could even simulate things like tilting the table, and losing your ball for tilting too much too. I always wanted a real pinball machine. If I had a choice, it would be either The Simpsons or Mars Attacks. Those were the two best ones I'd played over the years.

6ixStringJack: I was wrong. There wasn't a real pinball machine. I remember reading about it getting one of 4 Marvel virtual tables in some "recent" video game pinball. I never saw it or saw pictures of it before. Check that out... damn near looks real if it had a good frame rate while you play it.

6ixStringJack: Ghost World was kind of jumbled, but a big part of it was about learning about the past and not letting it just disappear. The two girls were Seniors that just graduated and somehow they meet Steve Bucemi who is playing a dude on the weirder end of Steve Bucemi's range, but he's a decent guy if I remember right. One of the girls was really drawn to his music and old record collection, but sees that he collects and sells all sorts of weird old stuff she'd never seen on TV or in the history books or anywhere else and it all kind of blew her mind that not all that long ago there was this entirely different world that would be unfathomable to her today with how she was raised and the media she's consumed as a GenXer graduating in the mid-to-late 90s.

6ixStringJack: They kind of ended up recycling that costume in a way though with Moon Knight years later, which I don't really know anything about the character but I always loved that costume too. The did some tweaks to it though, so it couldn't be mistaken for nothing offensive to nobody and it wasn't a cowboy neither. Pic of him here:

6ixStringJack: Yeah. I love that Ghost Rider artwork. I just see why they felt the need to stop printing it. I don't think that was just a fluke. Probably didn't even mean nothing by it either, but something big probably happened in the news one day that had to do with the Klan (because I know that happened at least before I was born if not before you were born too). And Stan Lee was pretty progressive for his time and wouldn't have knowingly been putting stuff like that out.

Brenda: That's what makes history so important. We need to hopefully keep human from making the same mistakes over and over. That is why I wear my hair in a braid. Once it was just to keep my long hair out of the way. But now it is to honour my grandmother and her siblings. Their braids would have been cut off at residential school

Brenda: Trust me Jack. Erasing the past is a very bad thing. Human beings in general have a very short memory for certain things. That's why we write history books or oral history. So things are hopefully not forgotten. I consider myself something of an amateur historian and archaeologist as well as the sciences joined to those.

Brenda: My dad wouldn't have known comic books when he was growing up. There would have probably still been .10cent novels around. And they wouldn't have been the greatest. I had a Namor comic where he was still involved with WWII. I think I just remember the Vault of Horrors and Weird Science. But they weren't my thing.
