This is classic "great world-design, terrible* game-design" thing.
Fortunately, (most of**) the rest of the game is "great game-design"! Woo!

It's great for going forward and backward, but it reacts too sharply to turning...

If the slot was on the top, it might have been Atari 400/800 or 600 XL/800 XL, especially if the keyboard was black, but the top and back was grey/brown/tan/white. 65XE/130XE had cartridge slot in the back and were lovely shade of grey.
Yeah, it was black keys with a tan top as I recall.

the first consoles i owned were a gamecube and a gameboy advance, and so Pikmin and Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (originally for the SNES, ported for the GBA) were the first two games I played. I played Ocarina of Time shortly after that and Zelda was a huge fixture in my early childhood.
That reminds me-- I vaguely remember playing a GameBoy at some point in the mid-to-late 90s. Not sure if it was mine or my cousin's. It had some game with Mario in it, and the original Pokemon game, plus Tetris (AKA digital crack).

My first gaming console was a gameboy, probably back in '92ish. I'm sure my parents regularly regret it since then, because it was console to console to console and, eventually, to PC since then. I remember A Link to the Past, and some really frustrating other games. Some Home Alone one, and then a Batman one that I could never figure out the controls for. And a Tiny Toons platformer that actually got really difficult as you got farther in.

Time for another episode of Orthos's Bizarre Dreams.
This one sounds like a story/book series idea. Anyone else here remember that one episode of Doctor Who where reality collapsed and the entire timeline was existing simultaneously? So you had Churchill hanging out in the Parthenon, guarded by Roman centurions, and using super-high-tech gadgetry?
Basically that as a story series. The "world where all times are happening simultaneously" was a sort of 4th-dimensional pocket-realm of Time Itself, and the people living there - plucked from countless different times in Reality - were sort of Time Agents: one part Doctor, one part Illuminati (they actually used the term Illuminati to refer to themselves at one point, and were irked that the prevailing rumor seemed to be that the Illuminati was out for world domination), one part Thursday Next's Time Police, one part Chrono Trigger. They'd travel from point to point on the timeline, righting wrongs and fixing errors, keeping track of the timeline and making sure things went as necessary, and that people wouldn't make massive changes to the past or anything.
The "main characters" as far as I could tell were a redheaded cyborg woman, a Renaissance duelist fellow, a Millennial-era hacker chick, and a guy whose era of origin was unknown but he was crazy good with animals.

Earthquake in Chile, I hope Klaus is ok.
Thank you, man. Appreciated.
Other than a few broken cups and a cat so scared I still can't get him to move from under the bed, I'm in perfect condition. A Ravenloft book fell from the shelves right on top of me during the quake; wasn't sure if I was supposed to interpret that as a sign of impending doom, or that I have to run a game there.
The shake was 8.4 on the Richter scale and lasted for about 2 minutes; there were some six or seven aftershocks above 6.0 (3 above 7.0). The ground should keep moving for the rest of the week.
Though sadly there have been 8 confirmed deaths nationwide, damage was minimal.
