MegaManFan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Turns out Xbox can be completed! There are only two Z’s (Zapper and Zathura) and one Q (Quantum Redshift) but I just got both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's surprising since the Retronauts podcast episode for Sega Master System was just them asking each other "what games does the SMS even have?" I don't know why they would bother to do an episode on a topic they knew nothing about without even referencing wikipedia first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parish owns almost every SG-1000 game and even an Othello MultiVision, so... not sure what that was about. Maybe he doesn't like the SMS/Mark III? This is the episode, right? EDIT: aaaaaah, episode 16 from 15 years ago? To be fair, I didn't know anything about the Master System back then either 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Didn't mean for this to be "pros" and "cons" for Mr. Parish, but from what I can see, he's learned a lot about SG-1000 and Mark III/SMS over the years. Doesn't mean he doesn't have more to learn, but he's come a long way. Hell if you asked me what I knew about PC Engine 15 years ago, I'd have said something like "That's the Japanese version of the TurboGrafx right?" I knew nothing. I still don't know a lot, but every week I'm trying to learn more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Looking at my PS4 list I only need physical games that start with Q and Z. Looks like I have a few choices: Quantic Dream Collection: Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, and Beyond Two Souls (December 4, 2018) Quar: Infernal Machines (June 11, 2019) Zanki Zero: Last Beginning (April 9, 2019) Zero Escape: The Nonary Games (March 24, 2017) Zero Time Dilemma (August 18, 2017) Ziggurat (June 21, 2016) Zombie Army 4: Dead War Zombie Army Trilogy (July 21, 2015) Zombie Vikings: Ragnarok Edition (April 22, 2016) Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner MARs (September 4, 2018) UPDATE: I got Quar through Amazon and Ziggurat through PlayAsia. Quar may be VR only but it's cheap and it's a physical PS4 game so as far as I'm concerned, it counts!

MegaManFan Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I finally crossed PSP off the "A to Zed" list today. I got a game that starts with the letter Q from Japan earlier this month (the title is in Japanese but it translated to "Queen's Blade Spiral Chaos" so as far as I'm concerned that counts) and I got this one from the UK today to fill in Z, so I now have every letter from start to finish in a full box with UMD and instructions inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Vita means life... but for the life of me I can't find a physical game starting with the letter Q! The rest were surprisingly easy, including the ones you wouldn't think would be. * Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth * Virtua Tennis 4 World Tour * Wipeout 2048 * Xblaze Code: Embryo * Y's: Memories of Celceta * Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I gave up trying to find a Q for the Vita, but PS5 had one - The Quarry. (And yes even the APA says that when it comes to alphabetizing, you always ignore the word "the" in a title.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Pendleton Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/vita/alpha/17-q Well, unless you REALLY need physical. In that case I don't think there are any, and yes, I did check the Japanese game list to see if there is anything that can be romanized with a Q.

For me an A to Zed collection only counts if it’s physical, even if I have to romanize it from Japanese to English (which I did for PSP). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize I based the graph on this list of first party cartridges with PHM numbers but forgot about third party. If we use this cartridge list instead, we indeed capture Q but still U and X remain absent on the TI-99/4A. As you can see, nearly no cartridge games starting on X were released on the computer side. Games like Xevious comes to mind, but not in cartridge form. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keir Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I'm just missing an X-Man or Xenophobe to have the whole 2600 alphabet! Amiga CD32 doesn't have a huge library but it has every letter except X. To bad Project X wasn't named X Project instead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I hit a roadblock with 3DS. Once again it’s that darn letter Q. I checked both PAL regions and Japan exclusives and couldn’t come up with one. Every other letter is covered. (Pro tip - One Piece is significantly cheaper than Oregon Trail.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Neo-Geo fails on X and Y, though if you include homebrew within days/weeks ago a full port homebrew release of Xevious was released and Xenocrisis been out there. So if someone bothers to make a Y game, it's covered. NG= All 3 formats (MVS, AES, CD) 68000 chip after all, someone port Ys III. Neo Geo could use something unique like that right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I think there might need to be two “A to Zed” categories when it comes to homebrew. After all I could write a program like 10 PRINT “HELLO WORLD” 20 GOTO 10, call it “Quixotic Effort” and then port it to every console. That would be a Q, but would it really matter? Now if someone went to the length of making a physical cartridge, box and manual for my Quixotic Effort I’d say okay… that counts. I can hold it in my hand and physically shelve it in alphabetical order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
