  1. Are my eyes deceiving me or were a couple of the prices RAISED for this "sale"?
  2. It's available for preorder at Wal-mart.com: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp...duct_id=3942996
  3. How feasible would it be to use a Jaguar controller with a 5200? I have a 5200 in storage because I could never get the controllers to work completely right. IIRC, there are enough buttons on the Jaguar controller to match the 5200's stick.
  4. I was one of the people who long ago bought a RomScanner. For game switching, it seemed to work as promised. It was nice to have 10 games at your fingertips. HOWEVER... The actual physical design was a nightmare. It seemed to be designed for single controller type games on 6-switch 2600s because it'd block the difficulty switches and you'd have to reach around the legs to get to the controller ports. And speaking of the legs.. that was the absolute WORST part of the device. The legs were "secured" into the main device by putting the round T-shaped pegs on the legs into holes on the bottom of the (once loaded w/ cartridges, quite heavy) device and sliding them into place. Included were velcro pads to help secure the device to the 2600. It seems as though they never tested it with a full load, because the pegs snapped off VERY easily. We returned 3 of these before we gave up and went the superglue route to fixing it. I don't remember what happened to it though.. it was probably in with my original 2600 (with just over 100 games) that I gave my nephew, which ended up at a Park & Swap in Hawaii somewhere. (Along with the Intellivision 2 & 30 games and the Genesis w/ language switch)
  5. My Xbox Live tag is Wntermute (big surprise, eh?) I'm not on there much, but I'll say hey whenever I see someone.
  6. I have a PS1 with a sticky eject button. I just drum my fingers on it for a little bit and the button slowly slides right back up into place (so the lid will close). Maybe something got into the space between the button and the edge of the hole it sits in.
  7. My clone (he's 12 now) is a chronic cheater. If there's a strategy guide, he wants it.. it there's cheats, he'll look on GameFAQs for them.
  8. It could be the UPCs don't have a check digit. Here's how to calculate the 12th digit when the first 11 are known: http://www.upcdatabase.com/docs/upc-a.html
  9. What they really should be doing is suing the 56000-in-1 Super Joy manufacturers for false advertising. I played one at a kiosk in the mall... same 20 games repeated ad-nauseum. Seriously.

    Nice to know I'm not the only Katamari fan around here. Can't wait til We Love Katamari comes out this fall.
  11. Nope, though there was an SNES version and a GB version. http://www.gamefaqs.com/search/index.html?...+bobble&x=0&y=0
  12. Those aren't teeth.. he got tired of dots and was doing lines.
  13. I've played both versions on a modded Genesis (language switch & widened cartridge port).. after playing Devil's Crush, Dragon's Fury just felt like a mere shadow of the original. In fact, I was frankly surprised to find imports available for rent at the shop I rented it from back in the day. I even played the Ranma 1/2 fighter that was turned into Street Combat.
  14. They are the same game. In fact, there is a version of Devil's Crush for the Mega Drive with the original graphics. The US Genesis version has altered graphics - all of the religious symbolism was removed.
  15. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00...3712010-3902502 It could be because Midway recently changed the MAT1 box art to match MAT2.
  16. MadCatz licensed the MagicGate technology for a couple years and made official 3rd-party cards (I have 2). After a while, they stopped making them and now Nyko licenses MagicGate to make official 3rd-party cards.
  17. Since these are unlicensed third-party memory devices, they don't have the MagicGate ICs. Piggybacking a real Sony card will let the system access the Sony card's MagicGate and will let the third-party card be used.
  18. There's the Original Trilogy Star Wars edition (which nobody will ever play against me at again ) and the upcoming Star Wars Saga DVD version.
  19. Let's see what's on my Nintendo systems.. - On the NES is the Nintendo 64 - On the Nintendo 64 is my Shadows Of The Empire cartridge (and lots of dust) - On my SNES is my Super Gameboy (with Metroid 2 in it) and my third-party PS2 multitap (which is the only one I've found that is PS1 and PS2 compatible) - On my Gamecube is.. nothing.. but it's in front of my 12-cart 7800 rack that has my 7800 on top of it.
  20. If you have a PS2 and a network adapter for it, set up a Playstation Underground account at http://www.playstation.com and change the beta test option in your profile to "Yes, I would like to test your awesome games" (or words to that effect). A friend of mine did that after hearing about all the games I tested and was invited to a test & got a game before he even had a network adapter. hehe
  21. Aren't the saves for the Timesplitters games flagged Copying Prohibited?
  22. Let's see if I can remember all of them... - Playstation 2 - PS2 Network Adapter Everquest Online Adventures Everquest Online Adventures: Frontiers Frequency Online Madden Online Monster Hunter Project: Snowblind SLAI: Phantom Crash SOCOM I Twisted Metal Black Online - Mac - Everquest
  23. I checked out my Blockbuster's "Buy 2 get 1 free" sale.. The haven't change any of the prices on the games in months.. SC2 is $27, Rebel Strike was $25.. only decent deal was a plethora of Enter The Matrix at $13 a pop. I think the only game under $9.99 was a year-old football game for the 'Cube.
  24. I'm on the G.A.P. Other than the monthly surveys & contests, there's not much to it.
  25. I have an Enduro with the same label. It's in about the same condition as the one in the auction. CPUWIZ, how'd you find one with a good label?
