    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Justclaws is talking about games that didn't exist and are horribly bad.. But IF they did exist would you pick it up anyway?

     

    So a sequel to.. say... Kasumi Ninja?

     

    Kasumi Ninja 2 - The Ugly Ones.

     

    More of the same sh!tty controls except this time around the characters are even uglier and have more questionable secret moves (like Angus's Crotch Rocket). New hyperrendering methods allow such intricate detail on figures that you can now see even more blood spray out of every pore of the body! Expect the same boring endings and cheesy moves throughout!

    Glad to know I'm not the only one!! Mine usually are about Sega Master System games however... Don't know why since I consider myself more of an Atari collector... :?

     

    And yes, it SUCKS waking up!!!

    I searched through the older posts but couldn't find the answer to this question that I'm sure has been asked and debated before, but which game is the largest, in terms of megabits, for the 7800?

     

    I've heard before that it was Fatal Run. But then I heard again that the 7800 couldn't go above 1 meg in memory and any of the "Super" carts were clocked at 1 meg.

    I think the craze for classic gaming in general has hit its stride. The genre has officially sunk into current pop culture and I think the people that were in it for the fad or an opportunity to make a quick buck are no more. The people who truly love the games are here to stay.

     

    Gone are the days where we'll see Combat on eBay for $100. Anymore we'll probably see and pay what games are really worth.

    Damn' date='

    Uh...Nice Score on Mario, there brother!

    That beats the score on my site that was taken from those old Gamepro lists

    Right on! :) Hold off on that score too.. I know I can do WAY better than that..

    From what I understand, I know the Jaguar had a bunch of different chips inside the unit that it used for the games. And from what I've read and heard, most companies chose to program on the Motorola 68000 chip because it was the most common, therefore not utilizing the Jaguar to its full potential. (is this correct?)

     

    Anyway, I was wondering what games actually used the Jaguar's full set of chips? And what the Jaguar could have been capable of if the developers did use the Jag to the maximum use (3DO, Saturn, PS, etc.)...

     

    I know this could be a dumb question as the answer may be all of the games used all the chips yet I'm just curious... thanks...

    Hey guys, I had a funny recolection just now (at least I get a giggle or two from). I'm wondering if anybody remembers the Atari 7800 as as sports powerhouse advertisements. I believe that there was Spud Webb for basketball, Ozzie Smith for Baseball, and Doug Williams for football. I remember thinking it was the most ironic thing in the world.. There were only 3 sports games out when these appeared! I mean, the games had nothing to do with the athletes themselves. Even in the adverts they couldn't wear their official jersey!!

     

    "Finally I can play with the big boys!" - Spud Webb on One on One Basketball.

     

    :lol:

    Damn, this must have been back in 87ish, something like that... I remember a couple weeks before Christmas me and the fam went out looking for presents at our local supermall.. My bro and I went into the Kay Bee Toystore looking for what we wanted.. There was the NES set at $150 while the Atari 7800 was right next to it.. and it had just lowered its price!! $60?!?! Right on! Our dad will go for that in a heart beat! And he did.

     

    I wasn't really thinking about which system would be better. I already knew Atari's namesake..After all, the system we owned before this one was a 2600... we were able to make up our minds pretty quickly.

     

    We took a quick scan over the games that were available for both systems. At that time they were pretty close to the same thing. Both systems had Donkey Kong, DK jr., Mario Bros, etc... Then my bro saw Xevious and Karateka for it and that sold it. :)
