That cart sounds pretty neat actually. Those pirates never cease to amaze me. Although why'd they choose to pirate a colecovision cartridge is beyond my comprehension. It's kind of funny though.
I'd guess it came from brazil. The sega master system was pretty popular there, and like 27 people actually bought them in north america. Maybe the Colecovision worked the same way to warrant acutally pirating something for it.

Undercover 2025 AD
I picked all the ones that that either had a release date or were confirmed. Keep in mind there were about 100 games on this list and the rest either were horrendous rumors (Halo - Referred to as a 3rd Person shooter) or actually released.
I only had time to really research one title: Stunt GP.
Stunt GP actually has box art. It was eventually released on Playstation 2 though it appears, Infogrames canned it the month it was scheduled to be released. It exists somewhere, it just needs to be located. Odd indeed.

Nintendo was retarded not to release Earthbound64. Nintendo Power had me so hyped to play it, and every few issues they'd claim it was a few months from completion. Bullshit i say.

"Don't worry Oddworld fans, the company isn't going away. It's just drastically changing the way it operates. As with many innovative minds in the business, Lanning feels that the current model for game development is restrictive. Teams are becoming too big. Technical challenges are stifling creativity. Lanning is going to try doing things a different way so that he and his team can focus on what it does best -- creating characters and stories. "

Burnout Revenge ...and Perfect Dark Zero. I've been waiting years to use that wacky laptop gun again. I'm gonna kill me some meat sims.

What game are you using to test it?

Damn, that's impressive dancin there.
I have to second that Stepmania is awesome, although I've never really been able to run it on my Mac, I know what it accomplishes. Brilliant.
Just FYI... I "heard" there is a pretty good starter stepmania collection on bittorent right now, mixes 1-8. WINK WINK.

JJ & Jeff has to be one of the worst game's i've ever played. The instruction manual is quite entertaining though. I'd had it for quite some time but never bothered to play it and finally cracked it out last night, oh man, shittacular, glad I also had devil's crush to take away the pain.

Family Feud is incredibly fun game for a large group of people. Moreso when alcohol is involved.

Is your SEM the exact one Coleco would have released back in the 80s or did you have to do some creative work to get all these parts to work together?

10 bucks says the guy who did the Wiskey/7Up tutorial ended up passed out on the front lawn.

Hmm, I wonder if it will be possible to install one expansion disk on multiple Xbox units...

That was my site and I put that in the TurboGrafx-16 history page because I have documentation on the different law suits that went on during the late 80s and early 90s under Trameil ownership.What does all this have to do with TurboGrafx-16?

The Sinclair Spectrum has alot of ridiculious low budget games. I have a system and about 15 tapes, most of them with 7 pound price tags on them. It makes me wonder where one would purchase cassette games? Like would they be purchased at convience stores?

I second bubble bobble. Me and my mom still play the game together.

The Forza demo on Mech Assault 2 was rather impressive. With all the assists turned off, it's pretty accurate and realistic. Although I could have done with a track other than Laguna Seca. Pretty looking cars though.
... all those endurance races in GT3... (shudder).

Isn't the new logitech wheel like 200 dollars?

You know a site is struggling when they have to advertise the avalibilty of advertising space.
...which brings into question the validity...

I'm level 15 in rumble pit, team slayer and team skirmish. Anyone ranked higher can run my shit hard.

I pre-ordered the original and anxiously awaited the sequel, but until today i'd never heard the rationelle "because Microsoft bought the US rights, cancelling a US DC release" As fuzzy as my memory is, that just doesn't fit well on a timeline. The Dreamcast was on the decline in the US by the end of 2001 (US Playstation 2 launch) - and the Japanese release of Shenmue 2.
From my memory the translation for the original took about a year from Japanese release to American release. Which places Shenmue 2 smack dab in the middle of the xbox launch. By mid 2002 it was apparant there was no way Sega could compete financially.
But I don't agree with this whole mindset that because Microsoft bought the rights, they couldn't release it on Dreamcast. By all means correct me on my timeline here, but since Dreamcast was dying anyways the chances of a Dreamcast US release was slim to nil. Even before the annoucement of Shenmue 2's US cancellation, I had an inkiling I'd probably never hear of the adventures of Ryo and gang ever again. Plus the Playstation controlled market was too fierce to warrant spending precious financial dollars on a game that would make little to no return.
The wording makes Microsoft seem like the bad guy, where in my opinion they gave us the ability to play a game that many Shenmue fans would otherwise never get to play. It was one of the reasons I bought my xbox.

Egads, no backwards compatibility means that means i'll have to unhook my xbox2 and hook in my original xbox. I'm tired of these high power suits making me perform superfluous actions in my daily life.

I never played the 64 version much, a few times at a friend's house, but I'm having a grand old time playing this game.
Multiplayer is halo-esque, but with more objectives to accomplish.
