  1. While that may be true since the DS "Touch-Zelda" games are only so-so.. there's no way in heck any Capcom developed Zelda (including Minish Cap) matches with LA/LTTP. In your opinion.
  2. I'm guessing it's one of the splitters of Anon's group, and Anon didn't want any credit for the work of someone they're having a feud with. Either way I don't think game informer should be pointing fingers, most people would actually take them as a credible source when nothing has been proven yet. I agree, completely. I would not be surprised if Sony paid them to say that seeing as they probably know that people think Game-informer is a credible source of information.
  3. Nice looking game, plus that is one of my favorite publishers from back then, too bad it was cancelled. Is there any chance of a rom for it anywhere.
  4. Well post some pics or name/numbers and I'm sure we can help you out. I used to have a web page with a ton of pictures of C64/128 hardware. If I can dig up the old files I'll post them somewhere. I spent about 2 years copying stuff off e-Bay and arranging the pics in categories. With the surge in C= interest maybe it's time to bring it back on line. I agree.
  5. That is a excellent game, still need to add it to my collection though.
  6. Ouch, just wondering what are the other two that are in Japanese.
  7. Good luck with the Jaguar CD. I have heard they can be fragile.
  8. I will admit I am impressed if it looks and plays just like the system I do not see why a person should be terribly disappointed just do not mention it to friends and they will not even notice, if it works and feels just like a real Nintendo one.
  9. Sounds like it might be possible. Just how much time would it take seems to be the major factor.
  10. Some people are just unbelievable.
  11. Thanks for the advice, I am in the process for getting the PC engine game converter for my system.
  12. Marvel vs Capcom 3, Mass effect 2(for the 5th time) Halo Reach, Forza 3, Sega Rally.
  13. I have 3 so far Atari 7800 Atari 600XL with 64k or ram Atari Lynx model 2.
  14. Yep that is the store, they are still open. That one is actually located in Fort Wayne, IN where I go to college. Go there on my free time when I am not studying.
  15. I have recently bought a Sega Nomad and will admit I like the sounds capabilities of it, though I grew up with a SNES I like how some of the music for cross-platform games sound on it. Music made with chip's just has a certain sounds to it that I find appealing, like Air Zonk for the PC engine, prefer the card music over the CD. I happen to like the sound of the Texas Instruments SN76489 and Yamaha YM2612. Those two chips together just seem to have a really nice sound. Maybe it is because they were used quit a bit back then. What are your opinions of the genesis sound capabilities and the chips that it used in general compared to later like the SNES.
  16. I think the joysticks are great if you don't follow the media hype (except for reliability). Games like Pac-Man were never uncontrollable; it was just a different feel that scared people into not even trying to use them. Spot on. It warms my heart seeing threads like this. Seemed like for the longest time the 5200 was the red-headed step child of the (Atari) family. There only seemed to be a few of us sticking up for old Pam, now it looks to be pretty darn well-liked by many. ...Yes I know as was pointed out this is a 5200 thread, but even at that there's usually not a helluva lot of love. Not sure how or why though the Atari computer line constantly gets thrown in as a comparison to the 5200. Really if you're going to that extreme than just say get a modern pc with an emulator and you have everything. I just think back to the release(s) of both. The 5200 at launch was $269 (although that may have been msrp as I got mine at launch for $249. The 800 was a whopping $899 !!! (correct me if I'm off on that). In any event, it was within striking range of TRIPLE the price. Did people REALLY spend that much just to play games back then? I didn't know anybody that did. Meh...off topic there. Sry. Thats exactly what I did and I love both of them. Each has its own positives(I actually own a expanded 600XL with 64K of ram, got it from here).
  17. Very nice looking so far.
