  1. This was a good topic. Nice job, man!
  2. Dammit guys, now I have to lug out my Sega CD... ...things so heavy...
  3. Maybe they could go back to the digitized sprites, but now they would actually look like people and not just pixelated people. HD people. They could at least do the blood better now. I didn't mind MK Armageddon, or whichever game was the first on PS2. I had hours of fun playing through that with my friend. The last one sucked hard though, they tried to get too technical. I was never a big fan of the 3D movement, what with foreground and background movement like in Virtua Fighter. Shaolin Monks IS the best of all though. Too bad Special Forces ate the big one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugMLUE1fDkE BODACIOUS! the gnarly bull from the 90's
  4. The GBA player is a great invention, and I also loved the Super Gameboy.
  5. Depends on what you mean by online play. Head-to-head or simply downloading/playing games via an online service?
  6. GT2 was always my favorite.. it was a game that fell victim to my brothers' trade in spree at GameStop back in 2003. I had an Audi TT, Subaru WRX and a Toyota Supra. I really miss that game..
  7. Sometimes the prices never drop or even go on sale. I think this is another issue they could work on.
  8. I hope there's a way that some people in the biz can see this or find it through Google. They need to get the picture! Great job. You brought up every point that needed said.
  9. Yeah, Strider is the one. I had a feeling, but the choosing a girl threw me off, too. She was so happy when she saw the video for it. Thanks a lot everyone!
  10. Man, Areala, I wish I could pump out blogs on a whim like you do. *SKILLS!* I don't give a crap. If they really want to sell more new games, lower the prices. Buying newly released used games off of eBay has saved me hundreds since I first got my 360. It's a good thing I don't really like EA's sports titles- I wouldn't be paying them $10 extra to play multiplayer.
  11. The Japanese version of the NES, the Famicom("Family Computer"), came with two controllers hard-wired to the system. The second player controller had an internal microphone and speaker used by some games and lacked Start and Select buttons.
  12. PS2 is one of the most lukewarm systems I own. It's got some fun games, but altogether it didn't stand out or even make me as happy as the PS1 did. But of course, even the great PS1 pales in comparison to my SNES or Genesis.
  13. Okay, I know we have a pretty strong group of gamers here, so I'm hoping that can be of use here. My fiancee remembers playing a game for NES where you can choose between a male of female character and you are given a mission by a woman and text scroll across the botom of the screen. Then you are beamed down to earth. The female character looks like Jem and has a knife for a weapon. The first level has spikes and is underground. This one has me stumped. I've looked through lists of every NES game avaiable(according to the Wikipedia entry, anyways) and I didn't even find anything really similar to that. At one point she thought it might have been Metroid, but it doesn't fit all the criteria. It's also possible that she might be putting a few different games together and this game isn't even real. I seem to remember playing a game like this sometime, too. It possibly could have been for SNES, which would widen the possibilities, but she swears it was for NES. Help!
  14. Sure is hard to get rid of those sports games. Seems like they sell like hotcakes every year they come out, but no one will take them off your hands in the future.
  15. I've been eyeing MAME cabinet dimensions lately. It seems like a crapload of work in something I'm not quite qualified at, plus I don't like the crazy CPO setups that most people use. They also look humongous. I like that trimline cabinet.. that might be just the thing for a little basement. I'm new to all the arcade parts terms, but technically wouldn't you still be able to switch a DK Jr PCB for any other one in the future since it's JAMMA anyways? If so, maybe I could get some tips for making one of these from you, Kiwi. As of right now, I'm more concentrated on moving than anything else, but at least I have a couple more ideas now.
  16. I replay these every year: EarthBound(usually in spring because it reminds me of Onett) Super Mario World Super Mario Bros 1+3 Sonic the Hedgehog series (1-3+S&K) Final Fantasy VI Chrono Trigger(also usually spring)
  17. Thor, did you make your MAME cabinet yourself? Well... I've been playing a TON of arcade games lately(share your high scores here) when and where I can find them. At home I use MAME just because all the games I want aren't in my area anywhere close. I love playing on the actual cabs though. My current favorites that I practice every day on MAME are Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Dig Dug and Joust. Only two of those are available to me in machine form, at my local pizza spot. I hold high scores on both of them and I make sure to maintain that score when I can stop in. >=P I really like the Wico joystick in the Ms. Pac-man machine(it has a blue ball top) but at home my Seimitsu LS-32 does the job. Those Wico are my favorite with a ball-top attached because of the smoothness and spring it has. I don't mind the Happ bat tops on a Mortal Kombat cab but for Street Fighter I only like to use Japanese sticks, mainly my Seimitsu, because it's so tight and accurate. I have a back-up Sanwa bat top for it, but I used it for a while and recently switched back, I missed the balltop. I'm moving in the next few weeks into a place with a basement. I would love to get at least one arcade cabinet down there, but we'll see.. maybe in the future. Has anyone ever been to a SuperAuctions show? When I lived in CA, I stayed with a woman whose daughter owned an arcade machine auction company called SuperAuctions. It was so much fun to go to the shows! They had all the machines set up on free play and you just stand around with everyone before the auction and play the heck out of them. If you can make it to one of the shows it's well worth it; the games are sometimes auctioned off for way cheap.
  18. You must've had a lot of practice in Duck Hunt. I'd like to try that sometime, I've been wanting to buy a gun because I love to fire them.
  19. News via Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5528336/rumor-castlevania-hd-whips-up-six-player-vampire-slaying
  20. Finally beat my old DK score.. 43900 now! Ms. Pac-Man: 23880
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLTNvsZjQnI I didn't even know about this. It looks like it's just some FPS, I don't see how Metal Gear ties in.
  22. I can't wait for Pac-Man Battle Royale!
  23. I think it's a bad move. I doubt people will buy additional devices just for some gimmick games. I think back to the Activator(Sega Genesis), Power Glove(NES), and similar add-on motion devices in the past. They didn't do so well. The Wii motion control is popular partially because that's just part of what the system already does at no additional cost. GNARRRR-LEYYY!
