    As the title says, its just excitingly fun pick up and play especially around my mates with beer, it was a very popular title in Australia, in the arcades and on the super nes/mega drive. Of course tournament edition is icing on the cake. Hangtime oh yes! however I don't believe hangtime translated well on to the super nes and megadrive that well though. I personally own NBA jam T.E on arcade format and on snes and sega Saturn as I would call the Saturn version a perfect arcade conversion, , even a fan of the 2009 reboot which I picked up on wii and ps3 which I believe is an update that retained the core gameplay mechanics, not a sports fan... but this game is just so radical which is also how I feel about NFL blitz, would love to hear from fellow Atari agers about these sports games that I guess... I would boldly state sports games per se, that aren't really sports games but really just arcade games if you get my drift, like they were in such a different genre basket to what electronic arts were pumping out at the time that were marketed as "simulation" any how... this aussie would love to hear from fellow NBA jammers to discuss the good, the bad (nba jam extreme), the odd but ok (nba jam 2004 ps2), (nba jam 99 gbc)

    im a bit late to the christmas party, but thankyou pixel boy, now i can play mecha-8 on my atarimax cart and my raspi emulation station, instead of having to dig out the coleco flashback, i finally got retropie emulating coolcv using the colecoflashback controllers via visiondaptor, im keen to acquire a supergame module so i can play zaxxon supergame and the donkey kong arcade coming out, imagine that, colecovision having a donkeykong thats better than the nes version, anyways will opcode games be doing a 2018 sgm run?

    as the title says, i have pre-ordered my C-64 mini in australia, being 1989 born i grew up playing atari 2600, coleco vision, gameboy and super nintendo, dos and windows games, i Missed out on the commodore 64... yes i am a bit of a generation behind age wise, but reading the australian publication Hyper magazine back in the day, the system was always an honourable mention, so lets cut to the chase, 60+ games built in, only some peak my intellectual curiosity, but has the ability to play "public domain/homebrew roms" via usb, its a replica of the real mccoy, the joystick is a usb replica of the real McCoy, it seems like a good option for those who want engage in the commodore 64 experience, at a reasonable price of $150 Australian, i mean it would be nice to own an original OG C-64 that is mint and has one of those SD loaders is saw at the Brisbane C-64 night, but its new replica hardware, and I'm sure it will do the c64 name good to keep the C-64 scene running on more than a full tank and to draw newcomers onto the iconic hobbyist machine

    As the title says, I'm glad to see Nintendo back in commercial success, even though the wii u wasn't a commercial success I'm personally a fan of the wii u, I wouldn't call it a flop, but the switch is a moderately beastly console, more 3rd party support than ever (doom), stellar 1st party Nintendo games, and more of them to come over the years, i gotta buy a switch this boxing day with Mario odyssey, watched it on youtube and liked what I saw. In honesty before the switch was released I was skeptical and wondered if it would make or break Nintendo

    You must be new here.

     

    Atari didn't know the meaning of quality back then, nor did they care. The writing was on the wall. No combination of "what ifs" could've ever saved Atari or the Jaguar. To quote another member here, FACTS.

     

    that is a valid point sir, but the best console version of doom ive played pre-ps1 is the jaguar version, the slightly enhanced version of wolf3d, nba jam was nice... and they were on there way to release MK3, but cancelled, this system could have pumped out something close to a ps1 launch title "3d wise" meaning under some sort of quality control, as in a passible 3d title

    OP, is back, and jiminy jellickers, ive definately heard some answers that have givin me leverage, the machine was allegedly difficult to program on but had to be a lot easier than the saturn (which i adore), anyways i reckon mortal kombat 3 could have given them some leverage. i guess the reason i created this discussion is because i was reading up on Jeff Minter, and how the ceos behind the jaguar dispised his idea to release tempest on the system, and wow, it was like in the top 3 of electronic gaming monthlys gameslist at the time

    Being from australia, the jaguar was unheard of... and i mean after its heyday im surprised unsold units werent sold off to be sold in our dollar and cent thrift stores, but anyways, it had the gems, like tempest 2000, fine ports of doom and wolfenstein, worms, rayman, power drive rally... but also aware of the flops like aircars, fight for your life, white men cant jump and cyber morph. so any ways in a hypothetical scenario do you jaguar enthusiast believe the jaguar had the ability to make it in the console race?

    Our minds were blown when we found the Dreamcast version, which is essentially Demo Racer 1.5. Love that game!

     

    oh hell yeah, I got it on dreamcast pretty late, but better late than never. I got it on the ps1 back in Christmas 2001, then that new years a couple of my mates come over and we played it, managed to total my mates car by landing on him after getting some air, and he was like can I borrow this game? and I'm like hell no... ive had this game for less than a week, and also he did not look after his ps1 games at all, they were scratched to the max beyond repair. why I was friends with someone so negligent... its a complicated story that spans many years

    I went to the store to buy a used PlayStation and a copy of Twisted Metal. I wound up getting a ps2 and tm2 instead. Great times. That was my first DVD player, too.

    I stuck with Namco museum and similar compilations, the tm series, and tomb raider 1. And demolition racer.

     

    that demolition racer is an underrated gem, got it on the ps1 and dreamcast, just a little history that game was published by infogrames in like 2000, but at the time infogrames owned the rights to atari

    Yeah I know, this isn't exactly coleco related, but I think of coleco when I think of donkey kong... and Pauline appeared on colecovision in donkey kong. anyways for the fans of this particular franchise just a fun discussion, I like the Mario franchise up until the n64 era, Pauline... she is now the mayor of new donk city in this game, and sings in a jazz band. I personally like this chick a lot more than the princess peach chick with sideburns. this game is an interesting concept, gta clone I guess, but I think its rad to see Mario go back to his Brooklyn roots, Ive had fun in the mushroom kingdom games... but Mario needed to go into a different direction. just thought id share this with die hard fans of original donkey kong, just so they don't miss out

    for the cost of this "software" you could just pick up the colecovision flashback unit, I mean some people rag on the colecovision flashback console, I enjoyed it for the sheer factor of getting mecha 8, the overlays, and 2 controllers I can use on my pc via my visiondapter usb dongle. anyways back to the point of this emulator and roms available on steam for $20 which is a bit over $35 Australian dollars.... WOW... I wondered who would buy this, and I scrolled down to the user comments... and yeah il let that do the talking, and look I have no problem with I.P holders making money off their games 30 years later or if some homebrewers included their game in the package to get a royalty, but its gotta be executed better than this..
