  1. I will offer you some articles I've already written.
  2. Some times I say esss nesss too.
  3. Crisis adverted! In case anyone is interested, I secured a bid for the 22 gameboards for $750. I get an email today from the company making them saying, "Oops, that discount is for another product, your final prices is $1250." :!: I called them up and told them that by them offering the bid and my accepting it we legally entered into a contract, and for them to back out now would be a breach. While that's all true, I didn't expect them to go for it. They didn't even get nasty. They just agreed that I was right and said they'd do it for the original quote. I can't believe that worked. Amazing.
  4. Really great suggestions here. My first buy was Jurassic Park, and now I just bought Act Raiser. I am really looking forward to playing it and beefing up my SNES collection. Not if I'm saying like, "I have an S.N.E.S..." Which is how I intend it. I write it like that, but I usually say it like "sness." Come to think of it, some times I say it like "S'nesss" too.
  5. I say snesss because it's easier to say than S.N.E.S. or Super nesss. I also call the NES ness.
  6. Hey, I never knew I had a thread here! No one I sold Odball to posted, lol.

  9. Supergun sold me two Odyssey two games. I got them before he got payment. Great guy to work with.
  10. This is a really good list so far, I am doing Googling. No, I don't care for Super Mario World. I've never really played Super Metroid, but I didn't much care for the first one, and cannot stand the recent releases. I'll give it a shot. Also, if it was released on Genesis, and it's a game I'd like, I probably already have it, like EWJ, or Mortal Kombat, Lost Vikings, et cetera.
  11. I don't think there's any logic to the argument that the SMS and 7800 were ever on even footing with the NES.
  12. I take it back, it does say 1999. Dreamcast for the win. Hands down. There is no competition.
  13. I don't care for first party Nintendo games, Mega Man, SHMUPs, 2D Capcom or SNK fighters, or turn based RPGs. I love some good action and strategy. What should I buy? Price be damned! For all of the hype this system has, I am having trouble finding games I like for it.
  14. I hate to say it, because I think Shigeru Miyamoto has less talent left than Blue Oyster Cult, but yes. SMB was the first game of its kind. It was a fucking revolution. It wasn't a single screen of shooting baddies, nor was it just a few screes of "adventure." It was a bonafied legitimate side scrolling adventure that introduced gamers to a whole new world which they had never seen before. It helped, significantly, to revitalize the industry and to change game design forever. With that said, fuck Mario games, and Miyamoto can choke on a herpes infested cock. Edit: That said, what really caused the crash isn't so simple as what "internet history" makes it out to be. Interviews with members of Imagic, for example, clearly show that retailer glut was a leading factor. Retailers were ordering far more product than they could move, and not knowing this third parties were filling orders with glee. Once retailers realized they couldn't move games, they reduced orders, and not just for games, but for consoles as well. Also, there were too many consoles. Atari had two, and both were competing with ColecoVision, and Intellivision. That's four major console, unheard of in any point before or since. That's not to mention that Vectrex, Zircon, Emerson, and others, were trying to be in the game. There were probably too many consoles. However, if retailers didn't drastically over estimate, then Warner would've never dumped Atari, and the marked would've continued steadily. The 7800 would've been released years sooner, and Atari Would've launched the NES. The world of gaming today would be totally different.
  15. I am honestly shocked that GameStop had an alarm. It must've been left over from the previous tenant. There's no way that GaymeStop pays for an alarm on any of its stores. I am looking forward to the day that company goes bankrupt due to self-cannibalism.
  16. Again, if the cutoff is 1990, Genesis has no competition.
  17. To help cover costs for Mentis Cohorts, I am selling this prototype for Odball for Magnavox Odyssey. Happy bidding. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190494287031
  18. Ha! I hope it sells out, this is expensive to produce! I am selling this Odball prototype to help cover costs. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190494287031
  19. There are now only six left. If you like Odyssey, collecting homebrews, or board games, this is totally for you.
