I love the U.S. Robotics ad on page 7 for a 300/1200 Baud modem with automatic dialing for a low price of $599!

The “Evolved” version of each game is the big selling point of the collection. Each game is given enhanced graphics, giving each a more realistic look, and Warlords and Battlezone support online multiplayer.

Sweet, online multiplayer Warlords. Almost makes me wish I had a PSP… And maybe some friends with a PSP… And probably this game!

US Stock Exchange threatens to withdraw publisher from its listings following value drop.

This is just a little too sad. A company that used to be synonymous with video gaming to have fallen so far. I doubt that the company will every close though, the name is just way to valuable.

Maybe someone can translate the post? Here’s Google’s translation:

We found a Christmas tree based on the popular Pac-Man, in the business center of Madrid

Thanks to our friend Wilhelm who sent us a photo, we learned that in the area of Azca have a Christmas tree rather curious and geek, it might even make frighten our mismísimas balls… So we went up there to see a tree whose lights imitate the famous Pac-Man videogame, or for children of the age Comecocos with all their coconuts, ghosts and Christmas trees digital (penalty having so little movement). We are still impressed…
