I have a pretty average PC, it plays pretty well. A patch or two will help that I feel. I did install two mods already, one to remove those irritating scanlines and vignetting, and another to correct the warm colour-cast to something more natural. Other than that, I'm digging the game so far. Everything the game promised it has delivered. Shawn promised a universe to explore, and I have a universe to explore. Any features they add from here on out are gravy, because I know I'll get my 40+ hours into the game in its current form. A very chilled-out experience, zipping from planet to planet and exploring cool stuff alongside an excellent soundtrack, I dig it.

Looks pretty good, I'd be interested in having one for my GOG library. Nothing like being able to play Roller Coaster Tycoon on a hand-held size device.

I knew I should have downloaded the Nintendo Power mags from Archive when I had the chance. And this thread is a good reminder to download the remake.

Bejeweled on the iPhone. Only game I have on my phone.

There is so much to like about this. I want one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hoo man, if Nintendo stuff isn't solid gold right now I don't know what is. Nice collection.

+1 for this suggestion. Wire shelving is awesome, and if you get the silver/chrome finish it looks pretty good too in my opinion. Cable management ends up being ultra easy because you can bundle cables then zip-tie them right to the metal bars running across the back, then tie them to the main legs going down. Everything ends up being very clean that way. If you worry about it looking too utilitarian, you can get covers for them to try and dress them up: https://www.amazon.com/Renew-Shelving/b/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&node=9130356011&field-lbr_brands_browse-bin=Renew+Shelving&linkCode=ll2&tag=atariage&linkId=b2124bc869323f3103ef8353ffe740ab or http://helpmyshelf.com/ have interesting-looking options.

Personally, I don't mind the modern/industrial aesthetic of plain chrome wire shelves. The current issue I face is I share an office with the wife because we only live in a 2 bedroom place (no kids mercifully). I have a beautiful Compaq P110 CRT monitor I want to hook up to my PC, but the things 78lbs and the size of an ocean liner so it's sitting in the closet until I figure out where the heck to put it.

Awesome, awesome video. I would love more PC videos from you. I drooled over The Dig's box, easily one of the best looking boxes for a fantastic game. I want to get into big box collecting, but they're impossible to find where I live. Plus space is at a premium in my current house, so not much room for that. Someday, when we move into a house with an extra bedroom and I have a gameroom, I want to start collecting more PC stuff.

Yeah, when I was a kid I never really made the distinction between "bad" or "good" games. To me it was all just games, and it came down to whether I liked them or not. Even if I didn't like it that much I still played it, because when I was a kid games were limited. It wasn't until I hit my teen years that I started to realize some games were different than others in terms of quality.

I'll have to second the DS library. So many games came out for it, and there were a bunch of really quirky games.

Well, glad someone reposted the images as I missed the drama in the other thread. Neat find, all that matters is that it gives you warm fuzzies when you look at it man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

At the very least they should have the decency to get rid of the thrift store sticker so it isn't so obvious they're opportunistic rats. But yes, sellers that won't answer questions don't deserve the business. If you can't be assed to take 60 seconds to hammer out an answer to a simple question, I can't be assed to give you my hard earned money.

I should clarify, I meant eBay sellers getting butthurt, not you as the buyer. By the way, Nightmare on Elm Street ain't worth $200. Not even close. $40 might have been a little low to offer, but that seller is out to lunch with that price. The magical inclusion of a box does not equal $170 more value than buying a loose copy. No way in hell.

To be fair, seller could've blocked him without the pretentious message. If you get so easily butthurt, the internet is not for you. Bit of a low offer? Yeah probably. But if you're selling on eBay you best be prepared for those. Also, if there's a price you won't go below just put the auto-decline on, it ain't that hard.

I'll also vote for the Legend of Zelda's, the Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons are excellent games for the GBC. Link's awakening is also very good and for the GB, though the DX edition for the GBC is superior in my opinion. Secret of Mana and Illusion of Gaia for the SNES are also quite good.

Way more in Winter for me, too cold to be outside for most of it and it gets dark at 5pm so gotta do something to pass the time.

That Gameboy is beautiful, I wish I had the scratch for it.

When I got my hands on an Atari Portfolio with a bunch of memory cards, serial adapter, and printer adapter from a member here. I had been wanting one for awhile, so that was pretty cool. But I don't think I've ever had the euphoric "er mah gerd" moment yet. There isn't enough collecting where I live for that to happen.

How good is your arm? Maybe you can just pitch it to me over the line

I like this post.

To be fair, that game is called Dirt. This looks pretty neat, I'll have to see what the reviews say first though. My issue with indie-type racing games is so often they miss on the controls. One reason F-Zero was so awesome was because it really nailed the physics, not too slippery but not too grippy at the same time. It's tough to capture that balance, and most of the arcadey racers I've tried usually go too far in one direction.

I don't understand, and have never understood, what the appeal of these videos are. I could go into a huge rant about how utterly inane they are, but I won't bother. They are stupid, and have always been stupid. That being said, these things have been spreading like the plague for years already. And someday when they finally die, some other silly bullshit will take its place. Now what I really don't understand are vlogs. Why on earth do people watch other people live their boring, regular lives? It's not as if they're celebrities, they are just regular people doing lame regular people stuff. What the fresh hell is this?

That's because posters at NA are spazzes. I remember playing Spiritual Warfare as a kid, but on the PC since we didn't have a console. Neat idea for a PNP, although $30 US is a little too much for me.

They have the first one, for what it's worth, and it's still really good. Agreed about Mega Man, even though I'm terrible at them. Certainly not a perfect lineup, but a pretty damn good one in any case. I'm guessing Nintendo probably had a goal in mind for the number of games they wanted, and they made the list based on that. Glad I wasn't in charge of figuring that out, can you imagine the arguments in those meetings?
