There's a few magazines I've been searching everywhere for. Video Games & Computer Entertainment - February 1989 Electronic Gaming Monthly - #64 November 1994 Anyway, Retromags has a fantastic collection, might try the usenet option.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAC-yWCOScw This is Virtual On running on the PowerVR based Matrox M3D card. It definitely looks nicer than the Saturn version, though not on par with the Model 2 arcade game.

Yeah M2 would've been the best hardware of the Saturn, PlayStation, Nintendo 64 generation. It had more polygon pushing power than the PS1 combined with all the effects N64 could do and better, had 8 MB unified RAM, and a 4x CD-ROM drive. Matsushita claimed M2 was on par with Sega's Model 3 arcade board, but in reality developers said M2 had 2 to 3 times the polygon performance of N64, which was still very good, and placed M2 above the original 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics chipset. http://imageshack.us...ormyth02eg4.jpg 3DO Systems, which became CagEnt within Samsung, were also developing M2's successor, the MX. One version of MX was going to have embedded RAM on the graphics processor. Nintendo saw the MX around 1997 and wanted CagEnt to redesign it around a MIPS CPU instead of PowerPC, and use that as the basis for the successor to N64. It was slated for release in Japan at the end of 1999. The deal fell through over things such as the use of ROM cartridges or DVD. https://groups.googl...OU/x9Dd2vV6R7QJ Nintendo then signed on with the ex-SGI start-up, ArtX, who designed the Flipper GPU with embedded RAM from MoSys. ArtX and Nintendo decided that a PowerPC CPU from IBM would be best. Thus, Project Dolphin / GameCube came to be, starting in 1998, mainly designed in 1999, shown to the public at Space World 2000, (then ArtX was bought out by ATI) and released in fall 2001.

Hi, great videos man--I've always wanted to play that version of The Rock. I don't remember where I got the files, they very well may have been yours. I tried those cracked .exe's -both with nGlide and GlideWrapper084c. I'm getting the same results, nothing. Except with nGlide it goes to a black screen, I see the 3Dfx splash screen, then back to the desktop with a small black window appearing for a second. No game... I cannot get this to work no matter what I do. I've tried compatibility with Windows 98 / ME, XP and 7. I'm totally stumped.

I am now thinking I won't be able to get Rush The Rock to work on my laptop. Not only do I not have a 3Dfx card, I don't even have a dedicated GPU from Nvidia or AMD. All I have is Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics :/

I've tried GlideWrapper084c and mess around with all the settings and Windows compatibility modes. Nothing. Maybe it's because my laptop doesn't have an AMD or Nvidia card. I've only got Intel HD 3000. Could that be the problem?

As much as I love the Super Famicom that was released in Japan at the end of 1990....I loved even more the first prototype that was shown to the press in late 1988:

This is not about Midway Arcade Treasures 3 which I have for Xbox, PS2 and GameCube (2005) and was also released on PC (2006). I'm talking about the PC version of San Francisco Rush the Rock - Alcatraz Edition that originally came with, and only worked on, the Quantum3D Raven Banshee (3Dfx) card released in 1998. some footage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86aUzcyVaOE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JRPK827Q4Y I don't have a 3Dfx or Quantum3D card but it's supposed to work on just about any PC with a Glide wrapper. I've tried various wrappers, all kinds of settings, etc. The most I can get is a black window that pops up for 1 sec, then, nothing. I really want to play this version of The Rock since the MAT3 versions are all terrible and it's not playable in MAME yet, although the first one, San Francisco Rush Extreme Racing, is. Any help would be so much appreciated.

It wasn't Sega's choice of chipset / graphics chip that caused Dreamcast to fail. It was their terrible reputation with consumers, developers, publishers, retail, etc. from the disasters with SegaCD, and more notably, 32X and Saturn. With that said, Sega's path to choosing a chipset was a very long one. It started sometime before the November 1994 launch of Saturn in Japan and ended in July of 1997. The following was originally publsihed by a site called Totalgames.net but there is no longer a working link.

That's sweet--I had no idea PS3 was region free unless the publisher decides otherwise. Then I'll for sure I'll order the standard edition. Thanks!

The physical disc release would be the one to own if you can play import Japanese games on your PS3 because of the porting quality. It's apparently being developed in-house by an internal Capcom team staffed with the developers of the original D&D arcade games which ran on the CPS2 hardware. The digital download versions were made by Iron Galaxy. http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/18/dandd-chronicles-of-mystara-gets-enhanced-ps3-retail-release-in-j/

I wouldn't mind a Twilight Princess II, if they made it with all of the content seen in the E3 2004 and GDC 2005 trailers. Much was changed or completely removed with the final TP. With that said, I don't expect the next main Zelda will be anything like TP. Nintendo & Miyamoto have said several times that TP wasthe last Zelda of its kind, meaning the gameplay they've had in the 3D Zelda games starting with OoT, which hasn't really changed much, even with the waggle controls in the Wii version of TP. Zelda Wii will obviously be about more precise motion-controlled sword-play. With M+ I'm hoping its as close to 1:1 as possible.

The next Zelda game, unlike Twilight Princess, is being designed from the ground up for Wii. It has already been in development for at least two years now , if not three years. I'm guessing its development started anywhere from mid 2006 to as late as mid 2007. There's a chance it could be released by the end of 2010, but going by what Miyamoto said, perhaps not until 2011. Miyamoto wanted to show the new Zelda at this E3, but he felt it would be better if the development team worked hard on makng the game rather than a demo for the show. He revealed that Zelda would make use of the Motion Plus unit, and may even require it, depending on sales (w Wii Sports Resort). He said that we should think about Zelda when playing the swordfighting & archery games in Resort. At last nights roundtable, Miyamoto showed a piece of artwork with an even more mature, older Link, and a robed woman. He said they would probably reveal the game at next years E3, but they're still trying to decide on how the game will be played. For those reasons, I'm thinking it could be upto 2 and 1/2 years (fall 2011) before it's released. http://e3.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/69612...-Next-Year.html http://kotaku.com/5276559/miyamoto-wants-t...zelda-next-year http://wii.ign.com/articles/990/990149p1.html http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18699 http://www.el33tonline.com/past/2009/6/3/e...o_confirms_new/

I'm a huge fan of SEGA's own Alien 3: The Gun arcade game, made for the System 32 board in 1993, as well as the Atari Jaguar version of Aliens vs Predator by Rebellion released in 1994. This new game is one of my most anticipated games of the next 12 months Especially the PC version, where I'm sure I'll be able to run it at 60fps, in resolutions beyond 1080p, and with additional anti-aliasing that won't be possible in the 360/PS3 console versions. realtime gameplay screens: full sized versions: http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/public...8/1834_0001.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/public...8/1834_0002.jpg http://images.gamersyde.com/gallery/public...8/1834_0003.jpg teaser (not gameplay): http://www.gametrailers.com/video/teaser-t...aliens-vs/49480 interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRgya1TAt14&fmt=18 http://www.examiner.com/x-8608-Baltimore-V...tor-screen-shot http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/984/984924p1.html more articles: http://games.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/2197/Aliens-vs-Predator/ http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Aliens-Vs...Caps-17683.html http://www.examiner.com/x-8608-Baltimore-V...tor-screen-shot http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/133181.20...s-vs.-Predator/ http://www.destructoid.com/game-over-man-w...d--132529.phtml http://www.talkxbox.com/article3187.html http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Aliens-Vs...ails-17671.html http://kotaku.com/5262684/aliens-vs-predat...ampaign-details http://www.mcvuk.com/news/34348/Alien-vs-Predator-detailed

I wouldn't pay $60 for it, but if it were released as a budget title, I'd buy it. Only way I'd concider paying $60 is if they included the original Quick Silver II-based arcade Hydro Thunder.
