I paid full price ($30?) for F-18 Hornet way back when... Thought it was dull; sold it used to raise money for Jag Ultra Vortek, also full price...

NO stalact...stalagm...ICICLES!!! JFTR, the 7800 version keeps the game physics intact (players bounce off each other/into creatures, etc. & multiple creatures can occupy a floor) Not so w/ the 2600 version. Boy was I let down...

It could also be stated that burke_01's opinion the game sucked is exactly that... Now, comparing the Genny version to graphically superior systems (e.g. Atari ST, Amiga) & saying it sucks makes more sense. But I was simply saying hey, at least there IS a home version, & you've got it!

If not a compilation disc (Atari Arcade Classics 2!!!) then Diablo (PSX).

What do you expect for a 16-bit home system? An EXACT arcade to home translation? Be thankful it came out! (BTW, I think it's decent!)

@A2600- yeah, saw your 1st post here...I won an auction for Hole-in-One 10 days ago & have been (im?)patiently waiting for it...maybe today! Seems like an eternity...been keeping myself busy w/ Super Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back!

I still can't believe I found a SNES (less cords/pads) for $4 there! I've bought a few games thru eBay/used, & borrowed some from friends who still have theirs around. Best deal of my life!

Sinistar, Toobin, & Vindicators!!! I've done died & gone to heaven!!!

Actually this was the only Sega game I'd play in the arcade(s)- I was mainly an Atari man. When I got my Genny & discovered eBay, I made sure to get this game. Luckily a seller was nice enough to sell it alone to me after one of his lots didn't sell...

I meant PGA Euro Tour for the Genny is better than SNES PGA Tour IMO. The graphics seem smoother on the Sega version, especially the ball physics. The SNES has a profound jerky/choppy motion when following the ball in-flight. Other than that, they're virtually the same game. PGA Euro Tour has 5 courses: Crans-sur-Sierre (Switzerland) Forest of Arden (England) Le Golf National (France) Valderrama (Spain) Wentworth Club (England)

Yes, you couldn't do flyovers & it wasn't 3D- I'm sure it's not Wailiae or Mean 18, as they're memorable names; could be Pebble Beach, & Hole-in-One seems vaguely familiar. I'll return PGA Tour today & look for it. Keep any other suggestions coming!

Hey all- picked up a working but bare SNES for $4 yesterday (cables/controller extra) & grabbed the wrong golf game by accident- PGA Tour Golf by EA which I think stinks (I have the better PGA Euro Tour for the Genny). I barely recall a good one from years ago...there were no human players, no commentary, & just a single full course. It was still areally good game! I recall the graphics were really sharp & crisp, but I can't place the name or maker. Please help a "new" SNES owner out!

oops...tho it may not LOOK like it...

OK- for those of you who don't know "Donna" or "the right person" & want your CDs fixed, get a Game DR! We know what we're talking about!

well, for those who care- I finally made it to Wal-Mart & got an Allsop CD repair kit. It has various pads, resurfacing discs & a battery-powered "applicator" not unlike a teeth-cleaner @ the dentist. I'm not sure if the fluid included is that mentioned earlier in this thread. Anyhoo, I followed the manual & tried the game CD (Fatal Frame)- & it actually worked WORSE than b4! I could get thru the Himuro intro, but suddenly the game hung up when I picked up a notebook. I decided to use my Disc Dr to fix the "problem" the Allsop caused- & IT WORKED! I playtested for 5-10 min w/ no problems! So, once again- I stand by the Disc/Game DR- it saved the day (again!)

In Beyond Castle Wolf & Bruce Lee, you reach an "end" but can keep playing from there (in BCW at a higher skill level)...does this meet the original post's criteria?

Guess that answers adonis' "MC: TB" question, then...

@Foxy- then explain why BloodRayne is the BEST PS2 game I own, & DMC is the WORST...

Commercial games w/ endings in MY 8-bit collection: Action Biker Ghostbusters Mercenary Ninja Necromancer Star Raiders 2 Pitfall 2 Dreadnaught Factor Decathlon James Bond 007 Fight Night

I see! Didn't know there was a new TB version (I seldom visit the store here). So the new one ISN'T "trakball in joystick mode" compatible?

Well, Missile Command for which system? I think you'll be OK if you mean the 2600 version...I don't see why Joystick mode wouldn't work for 400/800 Missile Command, tho...don't have the game to see. I think Trakball mode is for purists who want a "truer" sense of control.

Yeah! Picked up NES Vindicators today- a bit bland, but not bad...satisfies my craving, anyway... NES Gauntlet, OTOH... Any other version is better.

I recall YEARS ago at KMart (since closed) I was a young lad w/ enough ca$h for an Atari game. I wanted Donkey Kong (for $25) but the clerk, obviously taking advantage of my youth & wanting a better sale, said "Aw, I heard THAT version isn't very good" so I bought Pole Position for $32. Fast forward to about 5 years ago when I finally got DK & found out how good it really is. I still think about that jerk clerk...!

Not to worry- I think 99.9% of "trakball-compatible" games use Joystick mode...the only true "Trakball" game I'm aware of is Missile Command. Never tried it w/ Track & Field but it's good for games like Space Invaders, Galaga, etc where you shoot up. It also worked well w/ 7800 Crossbow. Of course, there's Centipede & Millipede...!

Get this game! Despite what anyone says, it doesn't "suck". Combines elements of Blood Omen/Soul Reaver, Tomb Raider, Wolfenstein- some of the best genres in video game history. I'm not saying it ranks up there, but it's damn good.
