I wouldn't call $25 a pop "mega reduced", but I digress..

So long as you think it's a good deal, that's all that matters.

I should have probably mentioned that this was in Australian dollars, the games are normally $70 a piece.

Oh there's still people around who play roguelikes

You might want to check out Dwarf Fortress too, it's got quite a large scope and is under active development as well.

I tried to play Dwarf Fortress, even read the bazillion page manual for the damn thing. Still couldn't make heads or tails.

But ADOM is badass.

Scored some great deals today. Walking past EB games and I thought I'd stop in. They had a few DS games MEGA reduced.

Phantasy Star 0

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn

Dragon Quest IX

Chrono Trigger

All four for $100!

These are gonna take me a while, and I only just recently picked up Xenoblade.

One thing to remember as well is that the Atari 2600 games aren't really designed to be played for long periods of time. So if you have a lot of time on your hands, maybe a couple more games would help.

September 14, 2011

These games were surely designed to break N64 analogue sticks. But I still play the games, just means I gotta repair my controllers every now and again.

While not terrible, I certainly don't think they're great. A few games of Mario Party and they're stuffed.

September 14, 2011

Of that collection, I'd say Chopper Command for single player and Combat for one-on-one action.

Exactly what I was going to say :thumbsup:

September 13, 2011

i would've been damn keen for this, if I owned a Vectrex

September 13, 2011

Hey guys, title and description say it all. Wanted to buy is a Vectrex within Australia.

I'd also be willing to trade on some items.

Let me know your (fair) price.

Thanks!

September 13, 2011

I always perform terrible if playing games with no sound.

I have a strange PAL cart of Super Mario Bros. NES that runs slower than normal.

Finally had an excuse to play this game after all these years.

New score, 138,850

I'm not sure what the computer was, but I work for an automotive group. Up until a few years ago you could see the exact same computers we'd use in advertisements for the company in magazines... printed in 1987.

Any good C64 sites in the US anyone can recommend that have knowledge of? Thanks.

Ha! Saved me time asking the question myself. Thanks for the links, guys.

Back when I was in university I had a day off, spent all day playing Banjo Kazooie on the N64.

Now normally, I'm a freak when it comes to saving my games, I just HAVE to constantly do it.

8 hours into my game, it froze, and I realised I'd never saved the game once.

Whilst Pac-Man is a terrible port, it is far from a terrible game. Pac-Man gets my vote.

I never had a Dreamcast on release, I never even had any interest. The console wars of the 90's still burned in my belly. But six years ago a coworker came to work one day with two bags in his arms.

"What you got there?" I asked, not interested, just being polite.

I hear him reply "I'm trying to sell this Dreamcast thing."

My ears twitched, and he instantly saw that I was all of a sudden interested in what he was saying. One Dreamcast, two controllers, one VMU and a bit over 200 "backups" of games.

That night was my first experience with Dreamcast, it's still one of my constant set up consoles.

September 8, 2011

Bargain! Video Pinball is the steal of this deal.

September 8, 2011

Freakin' rad!

September 7, 2011

Honestly, I can't remember. It's hard finding information about these old handhelds.

What I do remember is that unlike terms like VFD, LCD, LED, the LSI is not referring to the graphical interface, but instead the logic of the programming.

Are there any real kick ass games for this system that I MUST own?

You could start with the top 25 here:

Atarimania

An SIO2PC cable or flash based disk would probably be a good bet.

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks, don't know how I missed this.

September 7, 2011

Hey guys,

Several years ago I picked up an XE GS with a few games at my local flea market and basically let it collect dust in my collection. After rediscovering it the other day, I'd like to know a bit more about it. I can't really find a whole lot of information about this console on the internet. Are there any real kick ass games for this system that I MUST own? Does the system have any main problems that I'll need to fix down the track?

September 7, 2011

I just picked this up today, but I'm in a PAL territory so... awkward

Okay, now just convince several hundred thousand of your closest friends to buy the game too, and then maybe Reggie will rouse from his stupor long enough to bring the game here.
