    Anybody ever watch The Secret City Adventures tv show back in the day?? It was on PBS in my area.

    I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Depression + anxeity + a global pandemic is hurting me mentally.

      It's okay to feel that way, inky. None of this is normal, and it's okay to feel out of sorts about it.

      That's a real bummer. I've meant to go for several years now and the stars just haven't alligned. Hopefully someday.

    Streets of Rage 4 with Genesis Clamshell Classic Edition from Limited Run...successfully Preordered!  Now for the long, long wait until this is actually released. :P

      Got the bare bones, m'self. I have my fingers crossed that the game turns out well. No reason it shouldn't... just always a bit wary of classic remakes / sequels.

    Suddenly everyone is using this virus as an opportunity to post condescending messages to wash their hands, like some snooty parent. C'mon you were posting memes last week.

    (Deep breath,  here goes) The Internet (for purchases) kind of sucks! Sure you have eBay and Amazon, but what else?  Where are all the "other" auction sites? (And pay per bid sites with limited selection do Not Count).  Ever see the ads at the bottom of ebay?  Whatever obscurity you just searched for, there are now 6 sites claiming you can get it  for 70% off!  No You Can't!!!!  Ever click?  They are either Search Engines to Other Search Engines or they take you back to eBay like you've never heard of that...Didn't think to look there, even though that's where you just were!

      I tried Mercari recently to buy something obscure for my missus, and, while I hasten to add this wasn't Mercari's fault, the seller I dealt with apparently wasn't interested in sending the item I purchased. Mercari didn't do very much about it, but did eventually void the transaction at my request. I know everyone hates eBay for various reasons, but there's a reason that none of the other auction sites ever gain much traction against it.

    No one has mentioned the 7800 XM in a loooooooong time.  Is that confirmed dead or?  I seem to remember a few people took delivery a few years back.

    Did I just do something potentially stupid and buy an early 80s Trinitron off eBay? Yes. Yes I did.

    1. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      Buying a PVM off of eBay was easily the scariest purchase I ever made, both because of the price, and my perception of the fragility of the unit. Everything went ok, tho'.

    Beat-Em-Ups...the term itself, a construct. Did we just call them 'fighting games' before Street Fighter II happened? I can't remember anymore. The advent of the FPS forced us to come up with the term Shoot-em-up (shmup), since they hijacked the generic 'shooter'.

    1. dj_convoy

      Just like shooters are now retroactively shoot 'em ups

    I hate to admit I have more digital switch games than physical.

    1. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      I have way, way more digital games on the Switch... but that's largely because I buy lots of small games, arcade ports and the like, saving physical media for the bigger stuff. 

       

      It also helps that, unlike on the Wii, stuff goes on sale in the Switch store quite frequently.

    Did you ever hear the tragedy of Lord Karnage?

     

    I thought not. It's not a story AVGN would tell you. It's a CGR legend. Lord Karnage was a Lord of the retro games, so powerful and so wise he could use Youtube to influence the audience to love retro games... He had such a knowledge of the retro games that he could even get his video games from one guy in Qatar. The dark side of the internet is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his audience, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic, he could save others from death, but not himself.

    1. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      I get his frustration. He put some actual time / effort / production into his stuff. He seems content doing publishing and quickie, off the cuff comic reviews on YouTube right now, so it's not like it had a tragic ending or anything.

      Really depends on what kind of money you have to spend (sadly; a lot of the top shelf games are spendy). Rally is a good place to start... Maybe look at getting

       

      Daytona USA (any version, but the updated Circuit edition is a little better)

      Fighters Megamix if you like polygonal fighters (and it's better than Virtua Fighter 2)

      Clockwork Knight if you dig platformers

      Panzer Dragoon

      Depending on how you feel about fighting games, there are tons of Capcom arcade ports and most of them aren't break the bank expensive

      If you have it hooked up to a CRT, get Virtua Cop 1 and 2 and House of the Dead

       

      The Saturn is a killer shump machine, but most of the great ones are REALLY expensive.

    My birthday is coming up next month and I'm debating whether to drop the coin for a TerraOnion Mega SD or wait and see what Krikzz has in the works for the Mega EverDrive Pro slated for release this summer. I've always had good experiences with Krikzz's products, but the work TerraOnion put into getting the Sega CD audio on the Mega SD just perfect with the aid of FirebrandX and MDFourier is super impressive and I'd be a little bit surprised if the upcoming Mega EverDrive Pro is able to achieve that level sound accuracy. Virtua Racing compatibility on the Mega SD is definitely a plus too.

     

    What do you guys and gals think? Is the Mega SD worth going for or should I bide my time and see what the $60 less expensive Mega EverDrive Pro brings to the table this summer?

      I'm biding my time, for what it's worth. Why not wait?
