should I buy a colecovision?
Atari-Jess replied to super_dos_man's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Atari turned into a computer company after selling itself to the founder of Commodore (They kicked him out) they didn't return to video games until the NES came out. -
odd... stupid double posts

The genesis just isn't in high demand because it wasn't the dominant system. Odyssey 2 prices are low SMS/7800 prices are low N64 prices are rather low (although its more because nintendo in general is in demand)

Old style action adventure rpg
Atari-Jess replied to Atari-Jess's topic in Classic Console Discussion
did you click on the grey bar? I'm having problems making it auto focus to that, but if you click on the grey bar, it SHOULD let you begin typing into it. my apologies, I'm working on it! I'm gonna keep working on the other levels, its a lot of work making the map, more so than the engine! (at least with the engine I can make a bunch of these games) -

DS - The Freaking Touch Screen Just Died
Atari-Jess replied to MegaManFan's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I've had a dead touchscreen (Got too dirty perhaps?), nintendo replaced it free of charge. mind you, I was under a year... -
Just to elaborate on myself, Sony *needs* Nintendo or they'd stay exactly the same. Playstation 1: Only came into existence because Nintendo was looking for a partner to make a SNES CD attachment, the PS was only further developed and released as a sort of pay back against Nintendo. Innovation Stolen: Besides the fact its very existence is owed to Nintendo, it was only natural that the controller would be almost identical to the SNES one. Sony's poor attempt at innovation created a contour shape and ADDED two shoulder buttons, a Nintendo innovation. I'll give them the contour idea, but the more buttons theory is just a bad excuse for an upgrade and just one stolen from Nintendo. Innovation Stolen 2: Nintendo however had other plans, and released the N64 not just an Analogue control stick, but the option of force feedback. Sony, shocked beyond belief actually drastically alters their controller by adding TWO analogue sticks. (Hey, wasn't their last idea at innovation just adding... shoulder buttons?, smells like a trend.) And if that wasn't enough, they actually released ANOTHER controller - the DUALSHOCK. Wow, the PlayStation circle of theft and cheap innovation is complete. Summary: Existence "stolen" from Nintendo - SNES CD attachment Shoulder button innovation lazily improved on by doubling shoulder buttons. - L2 R2 Analogue stick added and lazily "improved" by doubling and adding them - DualAnalog force feedback added after another N64 innovation rumble pak. - DualShock Claims being able to listen to CD's is the most amazing thing on earth -- "Look, a full on multimedia device! (just like the saturn, jaguar, etc)" Playstation 2: Since Nintendo didn't actually add any serious new hardware innovations to their gamecube, the PS2 is unamazingly quite similar to the PS1, except Sony assures the public that this device was more entertainment dream-machine than anything else. The hype replaces a need for innovation in sony's eyes and after shoving in a DVD player and making the rest of those buttons analogue (an interesting and decent innovation on their part) they called it a day and released it. Innovation Stolen: none, there weren't any to steal at the time. Summary: Sony almost refuses to innovate and allows a regurgitation of the same-but-faster product complete with the same-but-faster games throughout its lifetime (Katamari Damacy excepted ) Repeats "but its a multimedia device too!" claim by adding a DVD drive (good, but no need to hype it as much as they did) Playstation Portable: Nintendo reveals the Nintendo DS, beginning to realise that the video game industry is a stagnant derelict ready to sink and opts for innovation in order to save itself as well as the industry. Sony announces their new handheld device and merely takes a gameboy advance, stuffs a battery sucking OPTICAL DRIVE?! and of course a pseudo-analogue pad and fill it up with sony-made technology and claims yet again this will be the ULTIMATE PORTABLE MULTIMEDIA DEVICE! (movie studios are refusing to release on UMD and its VERY difficult to get media to play on the PSP) Innovation stolen: none, Sony just tries to frankenstein a gameboy advance Summary: The PSP, the franken-GBA is not quite the success Sony honestly believes it to be, a practical-failure in comparison to portable king Nintendo They add a near-useless UMD and expensive MemoryStick slot. Resulting in a device with poor shameful battery life Playstation 3: Nintendo goes overboard on innovation and adds motion detection technology to their controller. Sony tries to "innovate" by changing the shape of their tried-and-true controller (hey, with all that stolen technology it was a solid lil stick) by shaping it into a bizzard "double-dildo/boomarang" only to get sued by the company they stole the SPECIFIC force feedback technology from leaving them no choice after severe post-E3 ridicule but to return to the original design... but add a Nintendo-esque tilt sensor. Innovation stolen: Tilt sensor. Innovation stolen2: While they didn't steal an online network, they're late to following suit of *Microsoft* for Christ's sake. Summary: Sony's arrogance has stuffed their heads so far up their own asses they firmly believe that anything they do is holy and should be worth whatever makes sense, as long as its full of Sony designed bad technology ala Bluray. Outside of that, (and the oh-so-stolen-"ideafrom94"-my-ass technology from nintendo) its once again truly the third sequel to the playstation. Don't you know that movie sequels are just giving the same crap with a new calendar on the wall? ...oh my, I went rather on...

I never really bought enough new games to have a lot of boxes, but those I have tossed I somewhat regret. Never really started buying new till the DS...

Sony fanboys are the worst kind. They're in love with a company that only innovates when someone else does first, doesn't care that a video game console should cost less than a half decent computer, doesn't even think the industry needs to change, and then does every little thing it can to make sure that if something happens to their product, that you'd buy another one instead of going through the hassle of replacing it for free. Sure, the console will be impressive, but its the same old same old and I got sick of it at the turn of the millennium.

Well, thats a moot point for me because I'm pretty much "wild" finds or bust. I buy anything I don't have when I see it in a thrift.

I have 4 rarity 8 games. (and one nine) doesn't that seem a little odd to you? I just realised this today and I must say it perplexes me.

Can the Dreamcast read burnt discs without modding?
Atari-Jess replied to AussieAtari's topic in Modern Console Discussion
Some dreamcasts have problems reading discs, the older consoles from 99 or whenever are the best. -
How many "bits" do you consider the Jag and N64 to be?
Atari-Jess replied to shadow460's topic in Classic Console Discussion
the whole bit argument was a marketing craze in the 90s, just like tflops and millions of polys seems to be right now -
The PAL version is much more common than the NTSC version, thats why you may not have very many bites on this one. (Unless I'm mistaken)

Once they got to about 386 of em (more now and more to come) they stopped using that as a catch phrase. Mostly because you couldn't catch them all when the games moved to the GBA.
