I did a google search for "Joe Montana Football Game Gear UPC" and found a site that listed a UPC. I was hoping for a box scan to confirm, but didn't see pictures of the back of one.
Anyway, just messing around, but here's the link.

And one for Super Battltank, not sure if it's the Majesco release though...

Heh, and one for Greendog...

Okay, achieving those 500K was easier than I initially thought. Apparently the trick is to get the "bubbles" weapon and never loose it for the entire game
Is the bubbles weapon one that destroys bullets, too? That was the one I used exclusively in the NES version of 1943.

I have the Phantasy Star Collection for GBA. It has the first three Phantasy Star games.

But you can play Sonic CD on your Wii.
You just have to get the GameCube Sonic Gems Collection compilation. It has Sonic CD on it I believe...

Well as fate would have it, the local retro store had a Wavebird on the shelf for thirty bucks so I picked it up and it does feel pretty comfy to play. I'll miss rumble but I guess I get enough of that on my PS3 that it's not a big deal. Given all the recommendations for Wavebird and I now have one in my possession, I'll make do with this.
It needs a little cleaning though, what do folks recommend for cleaning products?
Some people recommend against this, but I take apart all my controllers and put the plastic, not the metal, not the PCB, not the wiring, just the plastic pieces on the top rack of my dish washer and run it through the dishwasher, comings out looking like a brand new controllers, though you do need to make sure you let it dry COMPLETELY. Also I set mine to low heat.

I used to work for Fluke Electronics at a repair and recalibration center in Carrollton, Tx. We had a dishwasher in the shipping area for exactly this. There were a few technicians who used it to clean stuff. I think they even used it on some PCBs, but it's been years ago, so my memory might be faded...

I honestly never even noticed that the wavebird didn't have rumble.
I did. Was playing Ocarina of Time and the rumble makes it easier to fish.

Not on Facebook, only on stuff like XBox.

That was a cool video but some of those moves didn't look right. Especially the one where Mario fell into a hole where he should have died but instead jumped his way out.
Yeah, I caught a lot of those. Going through blocks, jumping out of holes, jumping in mid air...
-
I actually got a Wavebird as a wedding gift. lol
I still have the controller, but got divorced a couple years ago.

Don't know if you consider it "console" enough, but there are some language programs and stuff on the DSi Shop for the Nintendo DS.

My Castlevania Bloodlines is in a box.

I want my three dollars! (sorry, I know it was two dollars in the film, but this is what it reminded me of)
-
Nintendo would have.
Thanks. I think of all contractions, "would've" should be outlawed.

I only have used the original pads, but I have one side wire and one top wire. I haven't noticed any performance differences between them, but I prefer the top wired one, simply because it is more comfortable to hold. The side wire gets in the way of my hand.

Whenever I think about the worst controllers, I always think of the N64 controller first.
Show me someone who thinks its a good controller, and I'll show you someone who's first console was a N64.
I don't think it was that bad. It was reasonably comfortable and worked well enough as long as the game didn't require the d-pad or left shoulder button. It just seemed to have been designed with a three handed person in mind.
Oh, and my first console was a pong clone, then 2600, then 5200, then NES, then...

I like the Carlos Mencia one... lol... he always gets ragged on for copying stuff.

I've had my Turbo since the early 90's. Don't remember the exact year.
Blazing Lazers: It's already been mentioned and was one of the first big games for the system. Stores used this on display consoles to attract people to the system. It is a great vertical scrolling shmup.
The Legendary Axe: Yeah, it's kinda linear, but it's a side scrolling platformer... Anyway, I always enjoyed this game and it is, again, one of the early titles for the system. Fun with good graphics. The end boss fills the screen and was a common screenshot on the back of boxes for the system and in adverts.
R-Type: This is a great version of a game that has been on just about every system known to gamers. Hard as nails and great graphics and sound. Again, one used to highlight the graphics on the system.
Raiden: Another vertical scrolling shooter. I consider this one to be a little more playable than some other versions due to the fact that the whole screen is used. (The Jaguar version has a big scoreboard taking up about a third of the screen.) Fun and decent graphics, the music is great but the sound effects, especially explosions, are a little weak.
Ninja Spirit: I haven't played this one since back in the days when you could rent TG games. So I may have a little bit of rose colored glasses on this one, but I do remember it was fun and looked great.
Splatterhouse: I never really enjoyed this one. Don't know why, but I didn't. Seemed a little too linear. I mean, Legendary Axe was linear, but at least there were some separate paths and backtracking and stuff. This always just seemed like a walk to the left kind of thing. To each his own. Most people think it's great and it does have decent graphics.
Military Madness: This was mentioned before and I second it as being a great game. The one player campaign is a little uneven (level 8 pissed me off for a long time), but the two player game is where this really shines. My best friend and I got into several arguments over this one. We would insist that while one person was making moves, the other player hid their eyes, so when we came back, we had to figure out everything that had happened. On the one player game, there is a way to switch sides with the computer, too. Don't remember what it was exactly though.
Bonk: Pretty much any of the series. I like the first one the best, but many prefer the later ones. Fun scrolling, jumping, bonking game. There's a reason the little cavedude became a mascot for the system.
Devil's Crush/Alien Crush: Fun pinball games. Both have a main board that is multiple screens high, but while Alien switches from one screen to another abruptly, Devil's has scrolling that makes it a bit easier to keep track of the ball. There are also rooms accessed by hitting ramps or lights just right that are kind of like minigames... killing a dragon or a bunch of satanic monks or whatever.
Neutopia I and II: Not sure if this one has been mentioned, but I'll do so here. Neutopia gets a lot of flack for being a Zelda clone. I'll admit it is very similar. But is that such a bad thing? Zelda was a great game and so is Neutopia. The sequel is similar, but has several improvements such as the ability to move in diagonals. Neutopia can be continued with a password code, but also is one of the games that allowed for saving on the Booster+ accessory.
As for CD games, there are several that I would recommend. I have only played these in emulation on the Wii, but they are great games.
Y's Book I and II: A RPG game with nice cutscene graphics and wonderful music thanks to the CD audio. It's a little odd in that "battles" consist of you just running into the bad guys, but don't think that means there is no strategy involved!
Gate of Thunder: In my opinion, this is the best SHMUP on the system, possibly on any system. Great balance, graphics, challenge, and music. My only complaint: I wish there was a way to adjust the relative volume of the music and the sound effects. Sometimes the music is too loud to hear the effects properly. Definitely watch a video of this one.

I was in my late teens when it came out, but I still found the ReDeads from Ocarina of Time to be creepy as hell.
Yeah, that scream thing they do will make the hair on your neck stand up.

I've never felt that the Dreamcast controller was comfortable. The grips are too straight... I mean, it seems like this | | instead of something more comfortable like this / \ . (I hope those show up, if not, it is the forward slash then back slash.) As for the Saturn controller, I'm assuming you mean the NA Model 2 controller? Not the original Model 1 controller? If that is the case, I agree, it is a very comfortable controller.
However I feel that the Game Cube controller is more comfortable and is one of my top picks for most comfortable. Others that are up there are the XBox 360 controller and the SNES controller.

How many times can you spin with a wired controller before the wire gets twisted and kinked? Seems like the longer you play and spin the more it would twist and shorten or cause damage or something. Or are you flipping it over in your hands on each spin so the wire doesn't twist?
-
Why does Mario run to the right? Is it an infrared controller and it does that automatically when it doesn't detect a signal? If that's the case, use something that doesn't use infrared, like a Game Cube with a Wavebird controller or any of the newer consoles with wireless... I think a Wii might be a little hard because of the motion control while spinning aspect, but 360 or PS3 game with normal controls might be fine. I just think any wired controller is going to be too difficult.

I have nothing against the NES Advantage. I had one "back in the day" and loved it for vertically scrolling shooters like 1943. I bought another one recently on eBay and ended up cannibalizing a regular NES pad I had to fix a button on it (pad underneath had worn down too much). But I would have to go with the Genesis on this. A new controller can only be used on games you already have or are about to get, and then you might not like it much except for certain types of games (see my second sentence for example). But a new system opens up all new games and gaming opportunities. I would pick a new system over a new accessory for an old system any day.

Yeah, I think that it is actually weaker than the other special weapon, like it takes two hits to down an enemy plane instead of one hit, but the spread and speed at which they come out make this kind of a nonissue. Of course, when I beat it on the NES, I used an NES Advantage for the autofire and joystick. To this day, I can't play it worth a damn unless I use the Advantage.
