I didn't have any particular interest in the Jag, but I did have an interest in trying out all the systems I'd skipped over the years. There was a short period when you pick up Jaguar systems and games cheap at flea markets/garage sales/thrift stores. I bought my first set (boxed console + about 10 games) for, I think, $30 at a flea market and added most other games for under $5 each at thrift stores. Never found a JagCD, though.

Don't yet have a Switch so haven't played 4, but the wife and I both loved the first 3 and have played thru them multiple times. We still play the Bingo Battle from #3 occasionally as a quick head-to-head game. I personally like #2 the best for both the untimed cave segments and the final boss battle.

Well, I have a picture label Flag Capture that I found in the wild at some point, but I don't have it in hand so can't say if it's 1986. Is it the year that makes it special or are all the picture labels from 1986? Since I never found another, I'd say it's rare-ish but definitely not in the single digit number of copies range. A quick ebay check shows 4 or 5 picture label carts sold recently, but it also shows someone selling that label as a "replacement" so who knows how many are legit.

What is the Holy Grail of the TI99 4/A World?

What am I missing here? I'm replaying the original AW2 on a GBA and I can save at any time, including in the middle of a turn, and just reload the save at a later time. This lets me either undo a bad result or just pick up a game where I left off at a later date. Not as versatile as an Undo, maybe, but the difference is minor. Given that I already own the whole series, I'll likely pass on Reboot. Maybe if they actually make some new AW content, then I'll bite.

CD-i to DVD Converter. What does it do?
krslam replied to krslam's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Thanks for digging this up. Guess my Google-fu is weak. Seems a very limited use device, but I guess CD-i TVs were more popular BITD as this is unit number 007159. Or maybe they started numbering them at 7000 to make them seem more popular. -
What does this little box do? I found it mixed in with a CD-i lot I purchased years ago but never fully unpacked. The website www.touch-dvd.com gets no hits, and a search for Neuro Logic Systems brings up a company that makes displays for military systems. If I just go by the name of the device, it somehow "converts" the CD-i signal so it can then be recorded on a DVD? What sort of conversion is needed? Any suggestions?

Sears picture label Superman is ridiculously rare, but most of the rest aren't too bad. I found them all, except Superman (which I didn't know existed at the time), in the wild back in the 90s, so they are around. Boxes and manuals, though, not so much.

I mostly checked out this topic because it had positive things to say about the WiiU and I wanted to see how long it would take Tanooki to come screaming in here about what a lousy system it is. It's as pedictable as sunrise. He just can't help himself. FWIW, I still enjoy playing my WiiU. It's got enough good games to keep me interested and I don't really care that many have been re-released for the switch. That's like saying all the good Atari 2600 games can be had on the Flashback units so why would anyone want the original console?

VRGE 2023: Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo
krslam replied to Lathe26's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I went to the first one. Nowhere near as big as PRGE, though it is growing. And, FWIW, I went to PRGE before it was PRGE (or even in Portland, or Oregon, for that matter) and it started small, too.
