  1. They tend to show a lot of the more expensive games for a system, like they're more showing off the more expensive games that they own. Example: there was an episode about Genesis shooters, and one of the (if not the first) games was Cotton. They just HAD to remind us how hard it is to find and how expensive it is, and also how much he paid for it.

     

    THAT BEING SAID, the videos are actually very well made, although the dialogue is very forced and wooden. A guilty pleasure of mine is to smoke a bowl or two and start up a few videos, as they tend to be a little on the long side (the Sega CD ep was almost 40 min.). I appreciate the obvious Sega bias.

     

    Everyone has their taste. I, for one, don't like Gamester81's videos, however, I'm grossly outnumbered in that respect. AVGN also lost its luster in recent years.

  2. Gekioh's music will not play on the PS3 for some reason - Ive tried my copies on 4 of them and none play music. I dont know how the DL-able version fares, I havent bought that release. I'd be curious to know, tho.

     

    My PS1 plays the disc perfectly, so Im sure its just a playback problem.

     

    AFAIK, there are a few PS1 games that dont play 100% correctly on PS3s - MK Trilogy also hangs at a black screen after you beat the last opponent in single-player

  3. The members at neo-geo.com are almost unanimously advising me to disregard AES and go for CMVS.

     

    You should listen to them.

     

    For the time being, the most expensive part about the MVS is the actual hardware - a cheap no-frills board is around $200-$350 depending on what its modded for and whether or not its a single or multi-slot board. Some multi-slots are finicky, so do your research. If THATS too cost-prohibited, and you dont mind doing some work yourself, buy a non-consolized one-slot board (go to hardmvs.com to see what boards may suit you.), build a Supergun, and play it that way.

     

    For the time being, you can get a lot of good games for cheap money. I'm partial to a lot of the early releases myself.

     

    CMVS + Unibios = same as AES, just not asthetically appealing.

  4. Got my Saturn with the "3 Free Games" deal back in the day. It was perfect because all three of those games (Daytona, Virtua Cop, Virtua Fighter 2) were my favorites in the arcade. I didnt need to ask for a new game until the following X-Mas.

     

    Flash forward to today and the system still works.

     

    Sega knew how to build them.

  5. Mega Turrican was the first one that I played - up until that point I had heard about the series through GamePro and EGM. I remember Universal Solider coming out, but even back then i knew to stay FAR away from movie-licsensed games.

     

    I find Turrican to be one of those series that I could appreciate more the older I got, especially with the music. Yeah, its decidedly European, but I found enough in those games to keep me interested.

     

    Gun-Lord on the DC/NG is a great Turrican clone that I would reccomend giving an honest shot to.

    Up for sale is the Big Boss Peace Walker PSP. It's in fantastic shape, as I really only used this to play PW on my TV. the screen is bright and beautiful. The SD card that it comes with is a 4GB. I'm also throwing in the component cables so you can actually play it on your TV/monitor, and the pre-order bandana (not worn wink.gif )

    Theres two download cards in the box - one for PW stuff and the other for the movie "2012". I used the DL for the Fox shirt, but not for the Co-Op weapon, and the movie download is expired I think.

    $150 shipped

  7. i loved the old GB. it didnt matter that the screen trailed like a sonuvabitch or that i had to play DIRECTLY under a light to see it.

     

    Super Mario Land was awesome, and Metroid II is STILL one of the best Metroid--hell, HANDHELD--games I've ever played.

     

    my interest in handheld games died a horrible death the day i got my SNES and my SGB. the GB sat on a shelf, barely touched. even the mighty Game Gear, which was amazing in its own right, got barely used... which explains why my original GG's screen still looks pretty damn good.

     

    oddly enough, I bought a PSP with the sole purpose of modding it to play retro handheld games.

     

    These spoiled bastard kids dont know how good they have it. the DS and the Vita are a friggin' joke IMHO.
