"He's down for the count! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 GET UP! GET UP!" The audio in the arcade version is really one of it's most entertaining aspects. We used to walk around school saying "body blow" all the time.

Nope, the Jaguar AVP is a 3D-Shooter, it's more like Alien Trilogy for the PSX/SAT. But there was a side scrolling AVP beat 'em up released on the SNES. That SNES version is quite a bit different, isn't it? The Aliens side scrolling arcade beat 'em up was never on home consoles, right? Yep, the SNES AVP is different from the Arcade Version and it sucks ass! I haven't heard of that Aliens beat 'em up before, have to check it out in MAME. I guess it's more of a side scrolling shoot 'em up, but you get what I mean. It's from Konami, also. I don't recall if I ever played through it completely, but I recall it being pretty decent.

I know it's not console, but wasn't there a PC version of The Simpsons arcade game at one point? Maybe it was in production, but later got canned?

I still wish Konami's X-Men beat 'em up would show up on Xbox Live. Maybe with the new Wolverine movie coming out, but I doubt it.

I used to love the arcade Punch-Out. I could always clear Glass Joe, but had a hard time with Piston Hurricane. I guess Bald Bull was next and he always kicked my ass. I was initially disappointed the the NES version was quite a bit different than the arcade version, but have certainly grown to love it. It would certainly be in my top 10 NES games of all time. Maybe the top 5. I've still never defeated Tyson. OR Mr. Dream!

Great stuff here. Really amusing.

Thanks for the list! It'll be fun to mess around with a few of these.

Haven't tried an updated version of Stella in years. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

That is so great! I'm a big Phantasm fan. Just hearing the music makes me want to watch one of the movies. Can't afford to pick this up, but good luck to you!

I wasn't speculating whether or not the division will make or lose any $$$ for whatever reason. (Personally, I suspect with Halo Wars coming in March they probably will.) I was merely responding to this statement. http://kotaku.com/gaming/lol-they-made-a-b...r-ms-255654.php That article is from April 26, 2007. What is the date today? I'm just kidding, I really don't care. I'm just trying to cause trouble!

I played through the first one and enjoyed it. I'm too much of a cheap bastard, lately, so I haven't picked this up yet. I'll probably wait for an eventual price drop before getting it, at this point. But, I've heard good things and I'm looking forward to playing it!

You're not supposed to eat it!

I thought you were talking really vintage. I would love to have an 80s King Kong Bundy shirt!

The model number is RVL-001(USA). need the number that starts with "LU" on the back. The "RVL" is the same on all of them. It's the LU that tells the story. Oh, I'm sorry. I must have misunderstood. That number is LU51122531 and then there is a 2 encased in a square at the end. I'm not sure if that last "2" is relevant.

Hey there. I just wanted to shill my Wii auction in case anyone here was interested: eBay Auction -- Item Number: 220278893536 I'm offering the Wii, 16 physical Wii games, 8 VC games, 2800 Wii points, and more. Everything is in nice shape. If you still can't track down a Wii, you can bid on mine!

Yeah, and honestly, I imagine it's not that expensive to produce. Slap on a new title screen, update the rosters, print new covers and a new front cover for the manual and then run with a low production run and I guess you really can't miss.

I'm really surprised to see an Xbox version available. I don't even see it for preorder on EA's website. It is listed, along with the PS2 version, under the features section of the Madden site. It is listed on BestBuy.com and DeepDiscount.com. Hell, I'm a huge fan of the series, I think I might actually pick this up as an oddity for my Xbox collection along with the PS3 version. I'm just really surprised that EA even bothered. What was the previous last game for the Xbox? Madden 08?

I seem to recall reading something at one point where Xbox controllers could be used on PCs for gaming. Now, I just read mention in another topic about 360 controllers working with PCs. Does anyone around here do this? I was just wondering how well this works, reliability-wise. Anyone ever have issues doing this? I'll do some Googling, but if someone can point me to the best method here, I would certainly appreciate it.

I agree!

A court order. What a joke. 9 years ago, I really enjoyed using eBay. These days, I absolutely despise the service. The seller can do nothing. If someone wins an item and really thinks they got a good deal, they can still leave negative feedback just for fun. Sure eBay "encourages" contacting sellers when there is a problem, but most people are so upset when there is a problem that they don't take the time to consider that, or don't have the patience to wait a day for the seller to answer them. I would love to see a mass exodus of sellers from eBay. But the way eBay is today, there are too many people making a living selling through it, so I really don't see eBay being hurt at all.

Single player gaming on the way out? Sounds good to me. Now I can stop wasting time and money on new games coming out, that I generally do not enjoy anyway. Maybe I'll finally be able to catch up on some older games.
