What Is Your Moral Stance On Console Modding?
dj_convoy replied to Magmavision2000's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Not a moral issue at all. -
Very disappointed by the MCG "review," where he largely downplayed the flaws, constantly mentioned how he would be testing the unit as he got more of the modules (and requests, so I'm not sure how he could tell us that it was good so far if he hasn't extensively tested it yet) and dismissed the two years of asshattery prior to YouTubers getting beta units as "hiccups."

I bought the physical version. I fully realize I'm part of the problem.

I'm good with adding the real soundtracks, but yeah, the pixel art seems out of place. I'm going to be crushed if this game isn't decent.

What's Your Moral Stance On ROMS?
dj_convoy replied to Magmavision2000's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Largely what I was gonna say. I had no problem whatsoever when you couldn't get the game any other way and you weren't hurting anyone as they were not monetizing the games. I guess it's like being in the early 2000s and using Limewire or Kazaa before there were easy, legal ways to buy music online. I will say this; I don't mind pirating old stuff or stuff you can't get any other way, but I don't pirate new games. I guess that distinction makes it morally "okay" for me. -
It's essentially a wiki; you just need an account

Sega Ages Switch: M2's Sega 3D Classics line coming to the Switch.
dj_convoy replied to Atariboy's topic in Nintendo Switch
Oh, that's a bummer. -
If SEGA Retro says it does, I'm willing to accept that (altho' the Menacer works differently than the Justifier). I've never seen one in the wild. I've half thought about getting the 3DO version.

a pointless comment; there's only one fire button on their controller, anyway.

The Pre Famicom Nintendo Thread!
dj_convoy replied to Magmavision2000's topic in Classic Console Discussion
There was a really promising book series about pre Famicom Nintendo goods, but they were a bit expensive and I think they only made a couple of volumes. https://www.amazon.com/History-Nintendo-1889-1980-Florent-Gorges/dp/2918272159/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=The+history+of+nintendo&qid=1585154941&sr=8-4 -
The Pre Famicom Nintendo Thread!
dj_convoy replied to Magmavision2000's topic in Classic Console Discussion
I've just some standard playing cards they made in the sixties or seventies. I do have a couple of Game and Watches; Bughouse and Snoopy Tennis. Bughouse is excellent; Snoopy Tennis is a bit too basic. -
Arrrgh, I'm old. Still have PS3, the 360 and PS4 all hooked up. My PS3 has basically always been my media server (it's REALLY good at that!) and if it blew up today, I'd definitely get another. My 360 sure has a lot of fun, weird indie games and stuff on it. As far as the next generation being the next leap forward or whatever... I dunno. We're already at the point where the TV has to be upgraded (not all of us have bought 4K sets yet, you know) to take advantage of the horsepower of the current iteration of consoles... so I doubt that the next step will be much different. Maybe graphics get a little nicer, maybe framerates get a little more stable. Maybe, with PS5, they are correct and they kill traditional loading times (I'll believe that when I see it). Eh. I keep telling myself "the next generation of consoles is when I opt out" and, unless PS5 is just somehow an indispensable machine with true backward compatibility with actual physical media, I just don't see myself getting one. Even my PS4, which I do have plenty of games for, doesn't get that much use these days. The Switch is where I do a great deal of gaming, just because it's so easy to pick up and play (and also not worry about hogging the TV). That is probably the one console that has VASTLY exceeded my expectations.

What are your top Atari 5200 to get hold of but haven’t yet?
dj_convoy replied to Giles N's topic in Atari 5200
I'd have to look into it, but 30-35 bucks seems okay, I suppose. I mean, that's roughly what a homebrew here would cost. -

I'd think about a Meteorites repro. Actually, I'm thinking about getting it right now. :lol: -

dj_convoy replied to Giles N's topic in Atari 5200
I'm only missing a handful of games, so, much like everyone else, Bounty Bob and Meteorites spring to mind. Somehow, amazingly, my wife also grew up with a 5200 and 2049er was one of her favorite games, so I'd more like to get the sequel for that reason... but I'm just not willing to pay the prices. Maybe I'll break down and get an Atarimax sometime. -
THe numbers game has been around since there were video game consoles (and computers, for that matter) for sale in opposition to each other.

I believe there are patched versions in English of Famicom Wars (the predecessor to Advance Wars) if you are looking for a fun tactics / strategy game. You can't go too wrong with any of the KOEI games like Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Bandit Kings of China, etc. Some folks find those games to be a bit dry, but I think they are of decent quality. North vs. South is also worth a look. Not enough people talk about Guardian Legend, which is a space shooter with overland RPG elements, sort of like Zelda. That's a terrific game.

You don't consider 500 completed units much movement? Me, either.

Yup, Supercharger does not fit. I speak from experience.
