Same here. I never got what was so special about Mario 64. Rar, Legend of Kage. One of the only sidescrollers I've ever played where your character runs left. This one's been on the shelf for three years now .

The 3do version doesn't have that... or that... or that...

Thanks, guys! Also, anyone know when Sony switched to the plastic long boxes, and then to the small cases?

I'm looking to start collecting for PSone, and I'm starting with the older games. Is there a list of all the games that came in a long box (cardboard or plastic)? While I'm starting a topic, does anyone have a long box Twisted Metal they want to sell me?

Has anyone ever seen something called "Nintendo Super System" or something like that? It's an arcade cabinet with two weird shaped SNES controllers on it, and the one I saw had Super Mario World, F-Zero, and some other game advertised on the marquee. Is this just the SNES version of the NES arcade thing?

Uh, the Xbox is costing Microsoft money, not making it. And do you ever think to type coherent, readable sentences?

I have this game. You're on a space station trying to defeat aliens or something. For a Genesis FPS, it's great. It's a little slow and not full screen, though. Plenty of weapons and power-ups, lots of different enemies, and what seems like a million levels.

Now that this has been done to EB Games and Gamers (although I've never seen one of those) I thought it would only be fair to give GameStop what it deserves too. Here are a few of the many interesting experineces I've had there: 1. I go there with a box of games and controllers to trade in. This one young clerk sorts through the box making remarks like, "Is this a Genesis game? Wow it's wicked old. Why do you still have this?" I then explain to him that it's a 32x game, which might be why it says 32x on the side. He says "Wow I thought these were taken off the market or something. Anyway, we don't accept trade-ins on any Sega games anymore. Way too old." He sees a Dreamcast controller in my box. "Is that an Xbox controller? Why is there only one analog stick?" Also in the box is a Gameboy Advance (not SP) and about a dozen PS1 games. The whole box sells for $28.00 (yes, I'm so stupid I went for it). When he rings me up, he hands me a store credit slip. "You don't give cash?" I say. "Yeah, but you didn't say cash." he says. "Why didn't you ask?" I said. "Not my problem." he says. So after a while of yelling another clerk showed the asshole how to change the store credit into cash. 2. I bought a 3rd party DC memory card for $5. Seemed like a good deal. I get home, it doesn't work, so I bring it back to GameStop. They hand me another one, only it's an N64 card. "Uh, no this is for N64. The broken one was a DC memory card." I say. "Oh, sorry. Here's a new DC card." he says, as he hands me back the broken DC card I just returned. "No, see this is the same broken one. Look, just give me my money back. I'll get a working one somewhere else." Go me. 3. I go to buy Doom for PSX. I bring it to the counter, where the clerk says, "You have to have a parent with you to buy this game. I don't know why, though, the graphics suck so bad you can't even tell it's blood." I hand him my driver's license (I'm 17, and I really don't think I look any younger) and he says, "Are you sure this is yours? You don't look 17. Are your parents here?" After him giving me a hard time for a while, I just left. So yeah, I couldn't let all this EB Games bashing go on without GameStop getting some too.

Isn't Beach Head 2002 VR?

Laser Blast? I love that game! Sacrilege!

Iron is right. Doom for PSX is Ultimate Doom (which I'm pretty sure is Doom 1 and that extra mission) and Doom II. Ultimate Doom for PSX is made up of the Plutonia and TNT levels, not Doom I or II.

I played Ashen for a while at GameStop. It was okay, but the framerate just killed it.

You're right, God made the PSP. Don't you watch South Park?

I keep seeing new generic puzzle titles every once in a while, and some sports franchises for PS1 have 2004 titles. My local Sam Goody still has Twisted Metal 4 and FFVII brand new (!)

Because the x-box dosent have any of those dumb anime style rpg's that are real popular with the asian and loser crowd you know the guys who play alot of DOA. So true...

This has happened to a few of my carts, but it's only dirt and mold. The Activision carts get crappy looking because the glue they use for the label rots or something.

I still don't understand the logic behind having a pack-in movie rather than a game, but hey, I'll probably still buy one!

My TRU doesn't have anything older than PS2 games.

Definitely. There have been threads all over the net about nude patches, and now their existance is confirmed. Now, where can I get this patch?

Too much effort to make realistic graphics on a PS1 can have really crappy results (Medal of Honor), but there are some lookers out there. I agree about Medievil.

2600 Megamania or Twisted Metal 4.

I have my Saturn and 7800 displayed in my room. The rest are confined to the basement.

I have one of these. Kinda looks like a toaster oven.

That's going to go over REAL well here...
