Hopefully it has the same innovative character as the Wii because if it is only slightly more powerful then the PS3 what is the point of buying it at all.
-
Nice find.
-
Shadow of the Beast, Ninja Gaidne, and Stun Runner(first time I have ever played that game).
-
Trust me the system is defiantly worth getting, makes me feel bad that it only lasted as long as it did but for that amount of time the games and library were amazing, makes me wonder how it would have gone if Sega had stayed in for a few more years.
-
good list and prices. Good price on the wonderswan too, too bad I don't really have the cash for it, good luck with the sell though.

some people are insane.

Wii: Sonic colors and Donkey Kong Country Returns
Xbox 360: Halo Reach and Mass Effect 2
Gamecube: Zoids and Bloody Roar
Dreamcast: StarLancer and Test Drive 6
Saturn: Panzer Dragoon 2

And yeah - boo hoo if you can't play online games for FREE for a few days. If you were paying for the service, fine - you have a right to bitch. But you're not. It's a bonus.
Considering Sony didn't give us our Playstation 3's for free and didn't give us our games for free, I think there was ample room for complaining.
Sony doesn't offer online multiplayer out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm quite certain our purchases, that advertise such capabilities, are subsidizing the operations of the Playstation Network.
You quoted and responded to a post I made almost a month ago.
At that point, the PSN service had only been down for a few days. Now, having been down almost a month down - people definitely have a legitimate right to complain, free service or not. But at the time I made that post - not really. All online services have the occasional downtime of a few days here and there, be it because of general maintenance, server crashes, of hacks like this one.
Plus its down again, guess they weren't expecting alot of people to be changing there passwords at once. not surprised though.

I see, makes sense.
-
bump. Also will the CCA mod work on a Sega Nomad.
-
Is it worth getting a Game Gear if I already have a Sega Nomad and Atari Lynx.
-
I do occasionally if a game catches my eye, also with consoles.
-
Mass Effect 2 and Halo Reach.
-
What does the modchip do on a Sega Saturn.
-
-
If they already have a better battery from a third party then why does the one that comes with the 3DS suck so badly.

Well for platformer/adventure fans Cave Story 3D is coming:
interesting, take a free PC game add some extra content and then sell it for a profit. I wonder if they do this for other games.

Hahaha.. That's sad, isn't it??
Yeah ... that's really why the "Wii is underpowered" whining argument gets under my skin. Companies bitching about Wii hardware being "GameCube 1.5" and using it as an excuse for their N64 .75 results.
It is nice though to see some companies know how to good graphics out of the Gamecube and Wii though like Sega, Capcom, and Ubisoft. Though Sega is best when it comes to that.

I'm incredibly jealous of your setup.
I agree.

MIDI was an immense selling point to the professional and hobbyist markets but there was a hope within Atari that it would also save them from the expense of creating a decent sound chip for the original ST. The hope was that something like a Casio CZ-101 (we sold those at the Atari store I worked at when the ST launched) would soon be cheap enough that people would commonly add one to their system just for the audio from games and such, even if they weren't inclined to make their own music. If it had been viable to do a keyboardless version for under $100 in 1986 that idea might have flown.
Later, when I was working at Cinemaware, the severe difference in audio capabilities was a sticking point when it came to porting the Amiga-originated games to the ST, along with the difference in graphic hardware capability. This was a real problem not unlike the situation today where many PC gamers feel the quality of new games is being severely constrained by the need to give primary consideration to the PS3 and Xbox 360. The Amiga was the place to knock people's socks off but the place to make money was still in the Commodore 64 and the PC was in ascendence at the time the company died. To an extent, the Amiga was held back by being too far ahead of everything else. But even that was ultimately doomed in the face of the combination of Windows and the open PC architecture. In it's waning days, Commodore like to talk about Retargetable Graphics (RTG), but so much of the Amiga's character and identity was tied up in that original chipset that it couldn't really walk away from that. It just lack the appeal of the complete package wrought by a relatively small crew of creators.
The PC has given us the benefit of free market competition, with companies like Nvidia and ATI/AMD competing intently to advance the same platform. But no matter how cutting edge your box today, it's very hard to ivest the same passion the platforms of yore drew from their users.
One fo the best takes on this era of games ported across platforms of wildly varying abilities was in Terry Pratchett's first of the Johnny Maxwell books, Only You Can Save Mankind. It opens with a magazine advert for the game central to the plot, perfectly in tune with UK game mags of the day. In the small print at the bottom it reads: Screenshots are of version you didn't buy.
Do you think in a way that this constraint to make the game for consoles could be slowly killing of PC gaming or do you think it is still going strong.

Nice Wingcommander. Is that one going into the orangest collection?
AX
Love that game, one of the major reasons I want to get a 3DO someday.
-
Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2 come to mind.

I am currently planning on getting a TurboGrafx-16 and was wondering if any one has complete TurboGrafx-16 games for sale. Plus I am also getting a converter here in the next week and was wondering if anyone has a copy of Salamander for the PC engine complete they would like to sell, also interested in Raiden and Aero Blaster,Dungeon Explorer as well as others games for the system in general, just starting. Thanks for your time.
I have several Turbo games for sale in Gamegavel as well as other systems, please check: My link Discounts for fellow AA member.
Thanks for the info, just wondering but is Darius Plus a 2 player game or only single player.

Dreamcasts (what are they worth these days?)
in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Posted · Edited by ATARI7800fan
I agree with that though it is not completely his fault. I blame the Dreamcast and Sega's fate on the head from Japan. They were the ones that said we have to sell this many consoles and make this much money or we are pulling the system, Plus they are the ones that fired Bernie Stolar. He was a honest business man plus had set up a Excellent launch for the system her in the US. He was the person who relised that the Saturn could not beat the Playstation and was honest about it by saying the saturn was not Sega's future which was true. What really ruined Sega name was Japan having Sega release the 32X then the money spent on advertising for the Saturn that never returned a profit and of course the biggest mistake was firing Bernie.
