Wouldn't make any sense for the GBA, but it does for the Game Gear. Have any links for the latter? That's the one I want to consolize.

I am really surprised she had never heard of Sonic.

Crap, it's not pronounced GAH-luh-guh?

Resellers are not exempt from this.

There needs to be a website exposing shitty sellers.

Drawer, alphabetical order. Problem solved. Edit: I do have some carts that I acquired from folks who put labels on them. Pretty nifty looking labels, too! I've often thought about doing that to all of them, since they look so nicely made.

The logic is half bits, and half timing. Similar processing power is grouped together, so that you have 16 bit consoles, starting with PC Engine, starting a new era. Likewise, graphically, 7800, NES, and Master System blow out anything that came prior. But, they don't really go with 1986. They go with 1983 when the Famicom was released. 1986 Famicom, 1984 7800, 1986 Master System, and the generation ended in 1987 with the release of the PCE. As far as the ColecoVision goes, when you really think about it, until the PCE was released, all consoles were just slightly better than their predecessors. Generations is a hard thing to tackle. That's when timing plays a part. The CV died just a year after the Famicom released, and wasn't really competing with it, but rather with the 5200 and Intellivision. So people naturally group those three consoles together (and oddly and illogically enough with the 2600, too) and exclude the Famicom, whose lifespan was from 1983-1991 (and even later, if you want to be technical). Also, it didn't really have much competition in America until mid-way through 1989, and then even then the Genesis only gave mild competition through lack of excellent games, at which the NES really succeeded. Not saying it's right or wrong, just giving some common reasons.

To be fair, I know plenty of people who bought 360s and PS3s and did the exact same thing, or bought it for 1 game. I know a guy who only plays MLB, and only bought a PS3 just because the PS2 wasn't getting the games anymore. Some of us are even collectors who buy a console and then let it gather dust for a while, preferring our favorite consoles instead. I think I've fired up the GameCube once or twice in several months. Sadly, the PS2 has also been majorly neglected for 8–32 bit.

Grand advice, already taken.

While true that it does take time to fully learn the hardware, I don't think Miyamoto was saying that SMW or programmers sucked, but rather that the SNES' full potential hadn't yet been unlocked. The author, not Miyamoto, said that they sucked.

And likewise. :0

This is also what I'm looking for.

Definitely applies to me. I've never needed the best. Even back in the day, too! I found myself playing my SNES and Genesis (the two consoles I owned at this point, not sure whatever happened to the Atari) tons more than my newly gifted N64. When I finally got a PS1 in 2000, I mostly played Namco compilations, although I didn't shun it in the least. I do admit to playing a lot of PS2 and Xbox, but not as much as Link to the Past or Mario Kart 64, and with those I was more than content to ignore the release of the Wii, PS3, and the 360. I do plan on one day getting the latter two (just last year got the Wii), but there's no point for me in being in the current gen.

This for me, too.

Ah, the laughs! Page 1 laughs, even! NeoGeo64, you may want to reread this thread carefully, closely watching for sarcasm and humor.

I'll second Angry Birds and Pac-Man. Mario and Sonic are more oft-remembered franchises than actual games. So many of the great classics from Space Invaders on are slowly being forgotten, I fear.

If everyone isn't reporting auctions like these, we'll *never* get them shut down. Edit: That said, I don't quite know how to report this particular auction.

Just paid for cart and manual, no box, though, please.

I first saw a video of this about a year ago, I think. I thought it was very impressive, although your run-through of the first couple of levels had me worried to its difficulty. Now having read the thread since then I'm so relieved, and so pumped about seeing this come to fruition. This and the XM are really going to make my 7800 a beloved console. (Also, posting to ensure I don't miss updates!)

Except 2600 controllers work on the 7800, and the 7800 looks kind of close enough to the 2600jr, for those who had that one.

This is really cool! I used to have a small (~10ish or so) collection of tokens when I was much, much younger (~10ish or so). I wish I had kept them, or had thought to keep them. I have a nice coin collection now, but sadly no tokens among them.

Can't wait for NEO XYX on the Dreamcast to ship! I slightly envy all you who can afford/have the room for the nice AES/MVS collections, but I'm content with my DC!

I think he means "here in England" not "here on AtariAge".

I wonder if there's such a thing as "collective nostalgia", considering that the Mega Drive and Master System (and I only assume the 2600) were more popular in the UK than the NES was.
