  1. Still love a good run at Street Fighter II.  Something about making your way through all the opponents, and then say, taking out M. Bison with an uppercut that sends him off the screen, finishing him.  Satisfaction :)

  2. YOSHIMITSU...is interested in your "game console"! (but he can has no fundings..... wah waaaah)
  3. I agree and feel similarly. You & I are likely part of a small group who prefer Galaxian (I get the awesomeness that is the dual ship thing in Galaga, I really do...). Not sure if it's just nostalgia, the little needle like bullets, the sounds, or what it is. But Galaga always seemed a bit more...squishy? Cartoony? IDK. Galaxian kind of had its own vibe that I still prefer to this day.
  4. My understanding is that it will work with anything that uses "X-input", and I thought that included Xbox 360? In any case, I can vouch for the Xbox One as well as the 8bit Do Arcade stick working flawlessly with the GSP so long as it's wired connection. I don't believe any wireless controllers work with it except the stock ones.
  5. I still adore mine and find it worth the $80 that I paid. Even though I have an FB...10? And a Retron77. And a modded Vader with Harmony. It does a lot of neat stuff, and is an easy way to play 2600 5200 7800, in HDMI. Tiny footprint too.
  6. In many ways it's the perfect best of both worlds between emulation and original hardware. Imagine if someone gave me this as a kid forking over his three part time jobs' paychecks on Saturn Games.
  7. No. Seriously though, with disc rot, and laser drives getting less popular, the SD thing (got a GD Emu in one of my Dreamcasts) helps preserve the games. Give them at least that much credit. Especially with the ridiculous and outright unfair Saturn prices nowadays, they're letting people get ahold of a Saturn & games that never would've or could've before. Doesn't have to be for you but...at least give it a tip o' the hat to the good it does for some.
  8. I've got three myself Japanese White with Satiator, a custom painted blue / blue grey one that is modded to play backups, and a nearly brand new US Model 2 with box, instructions, etc. Not going to ODE any of them. Unless a disc drive fails.....
  9. Just got to say how much I love Mortal Kombat 9 (specifically).  Always been my favorite of the series.  Nothing against MKX, 11, or the new one...just didn't have the same magic as the big return to 2d playing field.  Love the graphics, the AI, just adore it, great fun.  And finally got a copy on PC so I don't have to worry about killing my Xbox 360. :)

  10. You know, I'm an overthinker. I dwell on the past pointlessly; did this relationship go wrong because I undervalued that woman, should I have not said that one thing when trying to lease a space to open an arcade right out of college, why TF would I have ever sold my Gibson SG and Marshall Tube amp just because I was short on $ and space... And this 382 page and counting thread just brings me a level of perspective, self-value, and yes, schadenfreude. My mistakes are ones I can certainly learn from. But at least I'm not making them on an hourly basis, in full public view from a jeering internet, and then having to sell my garish Spiderman house or think about an editor for my next BS email blast promising things that I know aren't true. How do these people even find their way home after a trip to the grocery store?? Back to playing Shark! Shark! on my Evercade I go...
  11. I feel compelled to admit...I don't hate the little dude that's their new mascot, Mico. Every single other thing about what they've done lately, despicable, hilarious, nonsensical, pathetic.... But that Mico dude, not bad. Kind of makes me think of like, Quisp cereal or something. I dig it.
  12. I don't like handhelds as a rule, much less black & white BUT...this little ditty has me tempted sometimes. Just to support them. Also, looks like they are up to about 70k more units than Trasharico has built, much less sold....
  13. Just bought a little indie game on Steam that I STRONGLY recommend :)  "Dome Keeper" is currently $8, and it's like a cross between Dig Dug and Tower Defense games.  I really....dig...it.   Wah waaaaah.  Seriously though, give it a shot.  Plus if you hate it Steam lets you get a refund if you don't play it too much.

      I love both of those things. I will order it. Thanks for the tip.

  14. Just skipped my way through a couple of videos discussing whether a new fighting game was "dying", and complaining about the social media managers not responding to player complaints and releases of patches, new content etc.  And I remember with one of my arcade consoles, reading a ton of "this company isn't doing this isn't doing that", not to do with game releases etc.  And my summary is that I'm just so very glad to not be a part of this whiny, I-bought-your-product-so-you-must-fellate-me-constantly-24/7 mentality.  I don't play online or care about it, never have, never will (except for like, co-op stuff once in awhile just to chat up a friend).  So I'm glad but I also want to say... these are the jackholes that are causing game prices to rise; $70 is alarming especially for an incomplete game.  Why so expensive? Because they have to have teams of people constantly placating whiners online.

    Give me Robotron, Street Fighter II, Borderlands, or Mortal Kombat 9 all day over this dipsh1t stuff.

      The makers of Aardvark and Frogs and Flies would disagree with you.
