My guess is either someone else has the license, or it costs more than Sega wants to spend to regain it. Oh, and back on topic--is it just me, or just this share a somewhat similar look to Shinobi Legions on the Saturn? I believe it does.

Yep, supposedly too many parents mailed in complaining that the show was making there kids want to eat cookies and become fat and unhealthy. So they decided that the cookie monster had a stroke because of eating to many cookies so now he eats veggies and only has cookies every once in a while in moderation. Family guy even made fun of this.

Are the bit wars really dead.

Which I find strange the people used to make comments about the PC engine for saying it was 16-bit even though it had a 8-bit CPU, that's just like how modern systems with the GPU being what is most important. They were just ahead of there time. I seem to remember a similar argument against the Jag, that it really had two 32 bit chips or something like that. As for your little bro's friends saying that the Wii and DS are baby toys? Tell em to play Donkey Kong Country Returns or Contra 4 and watch em get their asses smoked!!! I have showed them DKCR and Contra 4, they refuse to play them because as they put it the games look old and are not realistic looking. In there mind anything old looking is bad. -

That was a rumour that was sooo pervasive and yet it didn't make any sense. Regardless on where you sit on the Jaguar's 'bitness' debate, it had five processors on three chips. Even if you count only the three "chips", there were still three chips. I gotta be honest and admit that I don't know a damn thing about hardware or how it works That being said, one thing that I have deduced from threads like this is that the "bits" are inconsequential and often irrelevant. Out of curiosity were they talking about the CPU processing code that's 8 bits (or whatever) wide? I will admit that I bought into this argument big time as a kid, even though as an adult I have no f$&king idea what it really means Yes, the PC engine's CPU processing code was 8 bits wide. -
that's a good question.

What are some good mechanical handhelds
ATARI7800fan replied to ATARI7800fan's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Thanks for the advice so far. Tomy defiantly seems like the company to go with. Also thanks for the pocket line advice. What do you guys think of Attack in Space and Turnin' Turbo Dashboard. Have a nice day. -
Hello. I have recently got into collecting hand-helds and have noticed some people mention electro-mechanical ones when talking of ones before the original game-boy. What do they mean exactly by mechanical and what are some good ones to get. They did mention Tomy mini arcade and Tomy's in general, Plus good prices. Thanks for your time.

which the SVP was a much stronger chip, the thing required its own Heat-sink in the cart. It also moved alot faster compared to StarFox with its Super-FX. Too bad it also cost more. -
Bugs Bunny (the old ones) are great. Just can't stop watching the bunny and his cross-dressing ways, and how Wiley always manages to blow himself up and fall off the cliffs. The new ones are not bad, but have lost a bit of their Bugsie flare. the classic looney toons are hilarious, too bad if they tried to do that these days parents would complain about it being to violent and making there kids do things they should not do, like the Cookie monster making kids fat. Actually have a couple seasons of Looney Toons on LaserDisc.

It looks awesome, looks like SEGA is finally getting back to working on some of its older franchises. Hopefully they bring Daytona and some of the other franchises too.

Street Fighter IV insane anti-piracy

The harder they try the more people will try to break it, won't they even learn. It is true for all security. -
How does a computer work?
ATARI7800fan replied to toptenmaterial's topic in Classic Computing Discussion
That's a complicated question to answer. I do know a little seeing as I did go to college for 2 years doing computer Engineering Technology. -
AtariAge XBox Live Gamertag List

My gamertag is Elite J52. -
modern cartoons in general seem to have that "was drawn by a 5 year old look". I wish cartoons were still the way they were back in the 90's during the Disney hour or what ever it was called, cartoons like Tailspin, Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck, TMNT, Rocko's modern life, and Gargoyles. Those were shows that the money they spent on them showed like the animations in Tailspin and Gargoyles. Why can't modern cartoons look like they actually spent time trying to draw them professionally. On the plus side it looks like Cartoon Network has decided to make a new Looney Toons show, have not watched it enough to make a decision on whether or not it is good.

I agree, unluckily enough though the spec part still seems to go on today with people that say none of the Wii games are fun because they look worse and because the system is not strong enough to be considered part of the next gen(this generation). Who are these "people" that say a game can't be fun because it looks like it's from a previous generation? That's like the worst argument I've ever heard. As for the bit wars...they're dead. It was market-speak and didn't accurately portray the quality of the games. They might as well be arguing console color schemes. mostly from more modern games like my younger brothers friends who say that if a game looks bad it is not fun, in there opinion a game has to be fun to play and look good to be considered good. They say the Wii is just a babies toy because it can't handle the games that are on the PS3 and that it looks last gen. Same thing with the PSP versus DS. -
I would also suggest Scrapyard dog, but that is just me. Plus Ninja Gaiden.

Do you guys think people are warranted calling the PC engine 8-bit just because of its CPU while it does have a 16-bit GPU or is that just nonsense. Also bennybingo that does count. -
I am also looking for the same thing, I would recommend pcenginefx.com, they seem to come up quit often there. Good luck with the search.

I have noticed on many comparison videos on YouTube comparing games that were on the PC engine/TurboGrafx, Genesis, and SNES that there is at least one person who starts to bring up bits and how the TurboGrafx is actually 8-bit just because its CPU is not 16-bit. Brick wall Which I find aggravating and strange seeing as consoles since the PS1 have relied on GPU's just like how the TurboGrafx did. consoles these days run off of 32-64 bit CPU's so by there thinking modern consoles are still 32-64 bit which makes no sense it is the GPU that matters right? What are other people's thoughts on this. Thanks for your time.

yeah, i have been waiting for pikmin 3 for years!!!!! can't forget a new Star Fox and F-Zero, those were the reasons I bought a N64, must have or all people will suffer.
