Opps meant Moonwalker, but the game could be Sleepwalker. Personally if I was hearing the song beat-it and seen michael open the door and spin to save me. I'd run like the little girls in the game too. He kinda resembles a sleepwalking zombie. 8-) Love the game though

[classic gaming magazines?]

Do a search for Classic Gamer Magazine. The first two editions are free downloads. Theres another 6 or so that you can purchase on a cd for 10 bucks. also try Retro Gamer its a bit pricey though to subscribe and ship to the states.

[Classic Video Game cliche that you love or hate]

Love: Fighting against a enemy (Double Dragon)

Hate: Another enemy comes up from behind and kicks my ass cause I cannot react due to being engaged with another enemy.

Streets of Rage 3 would be nice. I still have yet to get my hands on a copy of it. I'd also like to see Toejam and Earl talk about a fun two player game.

[Score and a half]

Sounds like you made out pretty well today.

[Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 announced]

I love that it has Phantasy star series (all but the first one) and Sword of vermillion. Many a long hours I'll spend playing those gems.

[Anyone ever see this SMS game before?]

The guy listing it is way outta wack on his price.

[Sega Genesis Collection for the PS2 announced]

I love collections like this. I can hardly wait to buy it.

[ChronoTrigger...]

This is one of my favorite games. I agree with some of the backgrounds being so well done that you miss something every so often. As for the hit points being 999hp and 99mp that didn't bother me so much. I kinda hate the rpgs that have levels of hp that are so out there that you start off fight a character that takes out 5 or 6 hps and practically kills you in the begining and towards the end a boss takes out 1000+ and barely dents your hit points. As for Lavos use your triple attacks as frequently as possible. The way I did it was triple attack then a cure and did that over and over. My favorite feature of the game is the +new game. I love being able to start the game over for a different ending and having all my weapons and stats in a new game.

[New Nes World record]

Scoring that frequently I'd be all tuckered out 8-). Have you tried the game hoops ?

[Windows 3.1 with some games.]

Ahh, gotta love windows 3.1 just a step up from dosshell. Sniff sniff those where the days. Thinking about playing Streetrod now anyone remember that one ?

[annoying garage sales!]

Sounds like a rip to me Rock. I normally find the games lying under baby items or mixed in with dvds and cassettes. Half the time there unpriced and I just kinda hold it up and ask what they want. They stumble Ohh a dollar I hand them the bill and walk away smirking.

[bad trade]

A few years ago I traded in Final Fantasy 3, Chrono Trigger, and Secret of Mana all boxed with instructions to buy N64 Games. Now I have the games again but at the expense of a few hundred dollars. arrgh.
