Sounds good thank you for the replies.

Good deal! what software would be good to have? Any really standout games or programs?

I snagged one of these at an online auction for $5 it looks to be boxed but not sure if all the books are with it but it looks like the adapters and such are there. Did these come with Basic built in? Or will i need to pick up Basic or some other carts to make it useable?

I am terrible at the Guitar Hero style games, I also have troubles with other "similar" types of games like the one mission in Grand Theft San Andreas where you have to steal the van from the beach party and have to dance along with the song by tapping and timing the right buttons with the beat. I think my particular dislike of Kaboom is the feeling of "whats the point?" you can't do anything but respond to the mad bombers attack and do nothing to retaliate, at least in most other games you can fight back in some way. If i am playing Adventure and the ducks..err..dragons are grieving me I can grab the sword and give 'em some payback if the giant monkey steals my girl I can chase after them and save her, in Kaboom all i can do is sit there and catch the bombs in a bucket

Oh and don't forget the list of really cool folks who are on xbox live if you want to find them on live: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...136723&st=0

You should be fine, if i remember(it's been awhile) the internet set up is pretty straightforward and there should be on screen information provided as you get it set up.

I'll throw in another vote of confidence for Amazon as well. I have been buying from them for many years without incident. I have bought new and used items from different sellers as well just look at their ratings before buying.

I'm gonna go with my usual..... Kaboom! The game does absolutely nothing for me. (braces for inevitable slings and arrows)

Highway 54 Alamogordo, NM 88310 (575) 439-4355 Thats the closest i could find. But that may be the new landfill, i read somewhere the old one was no longer active.

Froggo: Karate Words cannot adequately describe the awfulness

Absolute worst: Super Mario 2 ( It was aaaaallll a dream!.... ) how original especially after the rest of the game was not that bad. despite it not making any sense and having nothing to do with the original storyline ( I call t the Halloween 3 effect ) Best: Zombies ate my Neighbors. I really thought it was a nice touch to run around one last time and rescue the "neighbors" while seeing the creators of the game.

I been thinking the same thing...in reverse: http://www.ashens.com/ (his video reviews are great) I live in the greater Pittsburgh area and have yet to see anything interesting in the way of knock-offs or other fun stuff from China.

You better hope I don't show up or that will all change. Why? I think you always add a unique dimension to any thread you participate in on these forums, so it would stand to reason you would add some interesting flavor to the chat as well.

The point is that a Neptune is a console that was to play both 32X and Genesis games, so if he creates a console that combines both in a single console that uses the original Sega hardware it will not be as twitchy as a clone system tends to be.

You probably wont need the matchsticks at all what with the fascinating special guest, the tantalizing topics,and fast paced yet friendly atmosphere of the chat room

I found this information: Title: Axis ***** (£25) A very good game with a unique rotation effect whereby you stay still and the whole (sprite-based) world rotates around you. Not content with graphical excellence, the game is great fun to play too, although perhaps the game design is a little simplistic. A nice touch is the way you can shoot and damage all the scenery, and the game has an impressive array of power-ups, enemies and scenery, although unfortunately the difficulty setting is a little erratic. Definitely worth buying, however. (This game used to cost 20 pounds but has now gone up to 25 pounds!)

For maximum effect, I wish it were a Combat, ET, or Pac-Man. Of course, it must be missing the end lablel, crusty with dirt, and have chunks out of the front. And you want to trade it straight across for a 360 with the Rock Band bundle. All new. And a date with the guy's sister, if she's hot. Sounds like a plan! I mean after all Pac-Man alone is a rare vintage collectors cart! just look at ebay for proof!

I did that once too! When i went in with a stack-o-stuff to trade in and offset the cost of the XB360 i was getting I brought in the only CIB 2600 game i have (a copy of Secret Collect or Quest or whatever it is) just to see what would happen. The guy actually recognized it and got a chuckle...sadly though no credit was offered for it.

I like it! It's kind of like Doom meets Redneck Rampage with a splash of Evil Dead. I like the weapon choices especially the "flame thrower"

I still think it's a good idea and like I mentioned the Wii controls would add a very cool dimension to the game. Games like TM always seem to have an audience. I even enjoyed the Vigialnte 8 Games and Crazy Taxi.

Its like talking to a wall I tell ya! Again, bits look like this: 010010100101001010 No consumer machine ever used more than 32 bit color, if that. Even if the GPU is a 32 bit internal system, the hardware that does all the work is 64 bits and reads and writes in 64 bits to and from the bus. The GPU and DSP and 68k simply direct them on how to do it, perform AI and GL and sound and input. The fact that they must all share the same bus is what slows them down greatly. You could have 128 bits and still look 8 bit if you code the games with 8 bit color mode. This is why the Jaguar typically looks 16 bit, as this is what happens when you port 16 bit titles over with little to no updating of the graphics. The Jaguar is 64 bits because it reads and writes 1,2,4,8,16, 24 and 32 bit color values 64 bits at a time. 1 bit color = 64 pixel writes 2 color 2 bit color = 32 pixel writes 4 color 4 bit color = 16 pixel writes 16 color 8 bit color = 8 pixel writes 256 color 16 bit color = 4 pixel writes 64k color 24 bit color = 2 pixel writes 16m color 32 bit color = 2 pixel writes 16m with effects most ports used the following. 4 bit color = 16 pixel writes 16 color 8 bit color = 8 pixel writes 256 color and rarely 16 bit color = 4 pixel writes 64k color The blitter and the OPL write and read 64 bit values, perform 64 bit math on those values and then write them into either a RAM buffer (blitter) or the line buffers(OPL). That is why it is a 64 bit system. You do not need 64 bits on sound nor in game logic or AI or even the 3D math mecessary in 3D games. Why be thick? Quality of games does not determine the bitness of a system. That simply determines the quality of the deveolpment. You can say that the quality of the games look like less quality but it does not change the fact that the Jaguar is a 64 bit system with two 64 bit processors and a 64 bit unified main system bus(not JUST the graphics bus as some would have you believe and again is part of the reason for the poor games.) So to sum it up to people of lesser intelligence like myself you are basically saying that the games (for the most part) designed for the Jag are like using a Corvette to take old people shopping..... meaning yes the machine is very powerful and capable but the tasks given to it are mundane perhaps to simplistic for it thus not utilizing it's full potential?

Could you imagine the controls for TW on the Wii? Using both the steering controller and a zapper! :thumbsup:

Try this site it has many systems from the 70's to current as well as pics of the games and systems. http://www.videogamecritic.net/

I enjoyed the chat last night! very good conversation and am looking forward to next weeks! and here is the pic of my Graceland sculpture thing i promised:

Good work as always! The reviews are short, to the point, with a splash of humor when needed and an honesty not often found in some reviews. Maybe some screenshots would help enhance the reviews but other than that great job.
