  1. You know it saddens me that SEGA has never matched the quality / quantity / fun that they generated back in the 8-16 bit era.

      I can think of tons of great Genesis games...Only a few standout Dreamcast games come to mind...But to each their own.

      With the Dreamcast, being able to play emulators on it without any mods was a real treat.

      Same here GoldLeader, I can rattle off a list of two or three dozen awesome "must play" Genesis games off the top of my head, but when I think of the Dreamcast there's... Sonic Adventure and The House of the Dead 2? I guess the Dreamcast never really resonated with me, though I'm sure that there's tons of good games on it that I just don't know about. The Saturn I always thought was pretty neat, but too expensive for my budget these days.

      Saw the one with the Arlen Witches the other night, Pretty funny.

  6. Well not particularly, I find it more of a curiosity, also please excuse if it has been mentioned or addressed already but I noticed in both Chrome and Firefox that AA is flagged as not secure on the url bar? Again, maybe I just never noticed it and since I do no transactions or am concerned too terribly with spying etc on my AA content / interactions but thought I would just see. Is it temporary, will it be addressed or does it even matter? Thanks.

  8. I'd rather have THIS for sure https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVxCjJkZPoI
  9. Dammit....even with the admitted embarrassing amount of time I spend here I STILL manage to totally miss some drama? Well, I better step up my game!

  10. Maybe the same people that made YOU the thread bouncer ? Tanooki you are not helping presenting your case like that either, lighten up on the keyboard warrior bit. I am sure the mods and admins are capable of doing their job or you could simply oh, I don't know, just report a post if you think it is trolling or inappropriate instead of trying to come off like the big man of Atariage because frankly it just comes off as pathetic.
  11. A list of ANY 20 titles was never going to please everyone, there are some really good games for sure and it seems they did try for some variety, of course everyone had their own idea of the perfect list. FOR ME as I have heard from others, the attractiveness will come down to hack-ability and being adding to add ones own titles. Even for those not into such things I suspect it will still be a buy for many. Here is the official list video and an image to consider. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88ACUOvfDEw
  12. Sony reveals full game list for the PlayStation Classic and opens pre-orders https://gbatemp.net/threads/sony-reveals-full-game-list-for-the-playstation-classic-and-opens-pre-orders.522026/

      Son of a Biscuit Eater! I've already got too much to buy! ... Solid line up! I have most of them for sure. Surprised there's no Crash Bandicoot, Castlevania, or Spyro.

      Solid line up, but probably passing on it (have some of the titles physically digitally on the PS3... no need to buy them again)

      I was kinda "meh" on the game selection. There are some good picks in the lot but (as GoldLeader pointed out) the lack of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, and Tomb Raider really kill it for me. That's alright though, I'd rather play on original hardware with the real discs anyway. =)

  14. Just about any feature can be turned off or disabled or suppressed. Cortana is on at start up because that appeals to many new users in the modern smart phone generation. Google "Windows 10 disable Cortana" - maybe filter results for the last month or even year and you will find plenty to ways to do it. If you had installed Windows 10 yourself, during the install you'd have been givin options of disabling Cortana and several other features and reducing others, I suspect because your new machine came pre-installed with Windows that it was simply installed with all the "bells and whistles", every feature on by default so you can experience them and then choose like most people what to turn off or remove etc. It's a new OS with different features and settings, things change, that is how it works, always has been. Simple Google searches will provide you with numerous ways to tailor Windows 10 to just how you like it. Myself, on all my machines I just use a free program that is pretty much a interface to easily control all Windows settings and many that would not normally be accessible to the basic user. It is called Winaero Tweaker and after installing and updating Win10 it is pretty much my go to program for taming Windows. Honestly though, just take some time getting to know the OS first and you might be surprised you wont need an external program. Windows 10 is perfectly FINE for most and like it or not it is the current Windows standard so best to get on with it and deal with it before support drops on older versions. So, that is my advice and thought I would drop it before the barrage of people that inevitably come into such threads to bash Windows for all the "changes" and the big brother conspiracies lol. Enjoy Windows 10, there is actually a lot of reason to for anyone who takes a little time or makes even the slightest effort, I promise the time and effort used to constantly complain about Windows 10 is better focused on just learning to use it properly, personally I would not use a modern computer without it, LINUX for older machines and Windows 10 for new modern Hardware is fantastic.
  15. As it should White Knighting..... seems you are over reacting to the suggestion to simply continue the topic in an already established ongoing thread instead of starting yet another but whatever......you be you......
  16. I recently updated my collection list so it is about as accurate as it will be for the foreseeable future.

Atari 2600 Jr. x 2 4. 2600 VADER 5. 2600 4 switch Woody 6. 2600 6-switch Woody 7.Sears Video Arcade II 8. Atari 5200 VCS Adapter MODDED for Stand alone operation 9. Coleco Gemini x 2 So basically 11 Atari 2600 compatible systems.
