Via twitter, Capcom-Unity has announced that Monster Hunter Freedom Unite demo was available on the PSN for PSP! Checking CU's site, it surely is. Go get it now!

Sure, but that is half the fun. I mean, it is fun to get these games now for next to nothing, knowing that in another 10 years or so, with people trashing them like they are that they may eventually be viewed as rare (not good, but at least rare). Besides, Brain Dead 13 is just great in my eyes. Not too sure about Plumbers Don't Wear Ties though, that one is a little sad...

I believe Hudson Soft pretty much messed over all of the fans of Nintendo games on PC or anything not Nintendo made with their Japanese PC and other computers that we never got here ports.

The 3DO is pretty good for the FMV games (clearer than Sega CD but not quite as good as the DOS versions). The CD-I versions of the FMV games is the closest to the arcade that you can get at home (get the Digital Video card and you are good to go). Also on 3DO worth getting are the games: Star Fighter (I prefer this version to the one Acclaim released on PSOne and Saturn later) Captain Quazar (why that wasn't ported I will never understand, overhead isometric action game with a funny presentation) Gex (some claim the PSOne and Saturn versions are better based solely on the FMV cinemas) Ice Breaker (it is on DOS too if you can't find one affordably on 3DO-it is a shooter puzzle type game, think something like Kickle Cubicle on NES) Bladeforce (another why wasn't it ported game, 3D flying through a pretty good cityscape and hard as nails) Killing Time (also on DOS but this version blows that one out of the water-horror based 1st person shooter that had a pretty darn good story) Dragon Tales (I believe this was the name, it was released by Mindscape and is kind of a FMV based RPG with real time fight scenes, most of the game plays like Myst) Brain Dead 13 (animated FMV like Dragon's Lair but funnier and entertaining) Hell: A Cyberpunk Thriller (FMV adventure game, fun little game I thought, just rather stilted animation-worse than Strider 2) If you are into softcore Adult games, the 3DO is the system of choice here too-Snow Job is one that treads the line but is a good adventure game. The Nomad is interesting if you play at home a lot but can't access the big screen TV for your Genesis gaming for whatever reason (or are just wanting to beat that level of Sonic or something before bed while in bed). Jaguar, get these: Aliens vs Predator Tempest 2000 Doom Wolfenstein 3D That is about it for Jaguar, it was heavy on 1st person shooters, at least the worthwhile games are in that genre.

Interesting things there Thor, especially the menu thing. I would have thought they would let you use the D-Pad for menu navigation. Here is a link to Kotaku about one of the secret characters in the game: DO NOT CLICK IF YOU DON'T WANT IT SPOILED FOR YOU!!!! http://kotaku.com/5263565/punch+out-caters...ecret-character

Welcome Somelazybum and Angry_Sun, it is great to have both of you here. Just let any of the mods know if you need any help (or just post it in the forums, we have quite a few very helpful and active members that may also be able to help).

Hackers was from 1985, that virtual unit is from what? 1990 or so? I guess he could have been using a prototype in the movie.

Via Twitter, Site link. From the Capcom-Unity site: So head over, and tell Capcom what you want already!

Well, the publisher is putting up another vote for the cover, this time the choices are the highest voted US versions against the Japanese version, which do you prefer (cast your vote and it could happen, for once a publisher listening to the fans). http://kotaku.com/5261716/how-badly-do-you...apanese-box-art Here is the link to vote at: http://forums.ignitionusa.net/showthread.php?t=726 Seems currently this is for PS3 only.

I remember the first Halloween special Lita was on after she "came out" and got away from Essa Rios and hooked up with Matt Hardy (I know I said Jeff and Lita as Team Rocket, just can't see Matt doing the cosplay thing). They had fun with the costumes and such.

My fiancee wants this game pretty badly but I will have to buy/build another computer with better specs (that comes well after I get some prior agreements taken care of).
