I would love me some HD multiplayer Blood Gulch, XB1 style.

Got my BONC2 Saturn pack full of awesome goodies! As always, I'm a satisfied the.golden.ax customer.

I thought they were taking a break from FPS Halo for a while. It doesn't really matter I guess, because I'll buy it anyway.

But will it be on the Dreamcast? It says Win. 2000/XP/Vista, but if they could cram that on a DC that would be awesome. Looks like a nice game. It's a shame they're so far short of the goal right now. Count me in for the " ENOUGH WITH THE SHMUPS ALREADY" club. It must be awesome for people who are big fans of the genre, and the system still getting new releases is great and all, but c'mon...

I have to agree. It meant well, but ya might as well have a title: "Europeans vs Hispanics vs Asians" Ok, maybe not that bad...but you'd be surprised at how worked up peeps can get over video game allegiances. Oh come on, everyone knows the Asians would win hands down... They're better at math.

You should just be able to swap the drive out from another DC or from spare parts. I would say to try and make sure it's from the same model/region. You could also try calibrating the laser if you're having trouble reading discs. There are videos on YouTube for that, although I've never tried it personally. I could be wrong though... haha. Where's Daytona?

Top Gun on NES. I think I've only ever landed that damn plane once.

I just have say that I love the Schlitz Malt Liquor sign. That definitely adds a classy touch of awesome to the room.

Nice! I think I will definitely be putting in for a copy of this.

I have one of those systems you put the cartridge thingy in to play. Oh! And I have one that runs on CDs.

I can't agree more! That is still is one of my favorite Genesis games. I don't even know how many seasons I played though back in the day. The season/career mode is great. You move up the ranks and on to better teams with faster cars. Definitely lots of fun, and not too hard of a game to find.

Wow... you learn something new every day! That is now on my Sega collection list. Somday... Thanks for sharing! That definitely makes an awesome collectors item.

My first instinct was to say Dreamcast, but I'd probably go with Saturn. As others have stated, I don't think the DC was a total flop, but it was a hard loss for Sega fans. Ending the company's console run makes it stings worse than normal. I think I'd vote 3DO as #2. Awesome system but those retail prices where ridiculous.

I'll take #6!

Just wanted to share my latest Intellivision score I found on CL. Super cheap, and almost everything has the box and overlays!

Looks like a good game. The more I hear about the Wii U the more I like it.

I'm not seeing a problem here. Every other industry that produces nonperishable goods deals in used sales: Cars. Houses. Bandsaws. Clothing. Books. Appliances. Music. Computers. Sporting goods. Every last one of these manufacturers understands that there will be a used market for their products, and they won't see any of that profit. Somehow, they all manage to get by without some sort of industry-wide crisis. Video games are "different" somehow? We need to make sure the developers get a cut out of every transaction that takes place? Why? No one else gets that. (Well, okay, the IRS does...) Second, there are places to buy used games other than Gamestop. At these places, the sellers will usually get better returns, and the buyers will have a much better overall discount. Amazon, eBay, Craigslist, even Best Buy is getting in on the act. There's no reason to hold them in contempt for this. They aren't the only game in town, nor are they doing ANYTHING that hasn't been done since way before video games were invented. The developer's problems, which they continue to keep quiet about in the face of all their histrionics, are their gigantic budgets and shorter product life cycles. They've pushed themselves to create very expensive games that only sell for a very short period of time, and in order to maintain that business model, they need to guarantee that every single title they make will sell a maximum number of copies and for a premium price. It's to the point now where every release needs to be a mega hit or it's considered a complete failure, and literally could ruin the company. This is a strategy that WILL end in disaster. I'm sorry, I don't see the developer's point AT ALL. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a used game market. There absolutely should be, but there needs to be a more fair market on games. You can buy a car, and yes it loses value once you drive it off the lot but you can still sell it for what it's worth later on. I think my orignal post was more in anger towards Gamestop than on the actual issue with developers my bad. I just feel that part of the problem with the whole modern industry is their fault. Of course like you say, people can buy from eBay, CL, etc, but I think the average person doesn't know any better.

As sad as the whole situation is, I can see the point of view of the developers. Gamestop and the like of stores are doing a lot of damage to the game industry IMO. You buy a game for $60 and a week later you're lucky if you get maybe $20 for it, then they turn around and sell it for $50. Multiply that by the thousands of copies they sell of each game and Gamestop is pulling in money hand over fist. After the initial sale to the retail store, the developers aren't seeing a dime of that money. Then what does the consumer do? Pay an outrageous price for a used game, or pirate it. Either way the developer loses. Not to say that it doesn't suck for us a video game fans, we get stuck in the middle picking the lesser of two evils. Either way the developers lose, and we end up losing in the long or short run. This is all going to come to a head at some point and I don't think it will be pretty.

You should start a digital collection of the "best" indie games. Maybe pick up Baby Maker Extreme next.

Ditto. I dont know why I never thought of putting my systems on display like that. Looks great.

One of my favorites is a guy at one of the local flea markets, he's had a video stand for as long as I can remember going there. His stuff was always overpriced and if you asked for something you'd get a random price. Go back another time, completely different price, not necessarily higher or lower. I have no idea how he's been able to afford having the two large stands he has had all these years, because I've never seen anyone buy anything from him. There's a market up north that has a nice game store with a good selection but almost everything is overpriced. They actually have OK prices on their systems, but any game is at least $5-10 more than it should be. My recent favorite is Lion King for SNES loose for $14. Then if you're feeling really rich you can check out the special case of games at the counter that you have to ask to see. You'll find such rarities like , Mike Tyson's Punch Out for $50 and Super Mario 3 for $40.

I would definitely have to go with the Sega Saturn. I wanted one so bad, but there was no way I was ever going to afford the $400 price tag at that age. I finally ended up getting one two years ago, in the market place here on AA.
