  1. I was milling around at game stop the other day and over heard that GTA eats up the pattery in around 4 hours.  Yikes!  That's pretty awful.

    No, no, that's on lower brightness. On full brightness with the sound tunred up it'll drain the battery in 2.5 hours without the wifi off and in 2 hours flat with wifi turn on.


  2. I am using these wooden cd box/crates that are $5 each at Walmart for my 5200 and Jaguar games. The I can fit 18 5200 games per box. 20 if I cram them in there.


  3. I was interested in getting one earlier in the year and they were going for closer to $100 then on Ebay. It might be less now. Sometimes prices on stuff like this goes through highs and lows. I'd keep it. An original Genesis on top of an front loading Sega CD looks cool.


  4. I was mad they never released those Bleemcast packs that were supposed to play 100 different PS1 titles per disc on Dreamcast. Bleemcast made PS1 games look way better than the slight PS2 enchancements. I also think I recall a Looney Tunes game for the Jaguar with impressive graphics that never saq the light of day.


  5. Aww, its just for ps2 and xbox? Blitz was the only football game I liked, like NBA Jam was the only basketball I liked. Unrealism at its best!

    If you only have a cube the NBA and NFL Street series aren't bad for that kind of arcadey style of sports game.


  6. I've been playing the PS2 version. At first I was a bit iffy about it and I never read the Ultimate universe comics but I knew of them. Now the game has grown on me and I've gotten used to the web swinging. I too enjoyed playing this more than Spider-man 2. I rather have my super hero games be a bit more linear than that one was anyway. The lifting thing isn't that hard. It's a bit like feats of power/skill like kicking in football games.


  7. I didn't find Toki to be that hard. It's hard but compared to Batman Returns it's pretty easy. Hard Driving is tough too. I think the only people who play that one are those who were getting their driver's licenses when it was in the arcades like me. It was a good driving simulator for the time.


  8. Gamepads may favor lefties but it doesn't make sense why they were made like that unless the inventors were left handed and that's quite possible. I also do well with the arcade joystick on the left. I think lefties may have an advantage in Street Fighter type games. Those are still my favorite type of fighting game and I'm pretty good at them.


  9. I'm left hand and always did fine with the NES pad and up style of controller. FPS games are a little trickey for me aiming with the right stick but I manage. Playing with the Atari 2600 stick was hell when I was kid though so the D pad on the left and buttons on the right was a welcome change to me.


  10. I would say Xbox or PS2 are better for sports games in every aspect including playability. (although I've never tried sports games on the Cube)

     

    The current gen games have more intellegence which is the main factor in sports games.

     

    If you want multiplayer then Xbox is the way to go. Also it has by far the best Tennis game with 'Top Spin'

    Sports games are best are current gen systems. Sports game just get more complex and look better as the hardware gets better. That makes the games seem more real and generally sports fans who play sports video games want them to feel realistic. If you add the online play factor it's really no contest. With that said I know they are many old school sports games that are still really fun. My previous gen favs include:

     

    Tecmo Bowl - NES

    Pro Wrestling (not really sports I know) - NES

    Blades of Steel - NES

    Madden 92 - Genesis

    Evander Holyfield Boxing - Genesis

    NHL 93 - Genesis

    Tommy Lasorda Baseball - Genesis

    NBA Jam - SNES

    Super Punchout - SNES

    Mario Tennis - N64/Virtual Boy

    NBA 2K2- Dreamcast

    NFL 2K2- Dreamcast

    Virutal Tennis - Dreamcast


  11. Nostaligically and as a collector I love the N64. You can find many of the games for cheap and serveral games were quite good. N64 had the very best wrestling games at the time. If I only owned an N64 as my only system when it was out I would have been pissed since the games were often double the price of PS1 games, didn't have CD quality sound (compare the sound of SoTH to anything the N64 offers) and worst of all games were few and far between. The N64 has some charm for me too because it was the last system to use cartridges but Nintendo should have made it a CD system. It would have been better for everyone and probably would have made it the top system during it's time.


  12. Not every game needs or should even have a sequel.

    Right. Unless it happens to be Final Fantasy. :roll:

    Or any first party Nintendo title.

    No, I'm still waiting on a Kid Icarus console sequel. I know a Gameboy version came out but those were never like sequels.


  13. EBgames has Ocarina of time for $10 and Majora's Mask for $15 near me. So you didn't get the best deal but you weren't ripped off either. You shouldn't really have to pay more than $15 for an N64 game unless you are desperate for it and can't find it anywhere for that price loose. CIB is a slightly different story since those are hard to come by these days.


  14. I've never bought a Nintendo system at launch and I doubt I will do it with the Revolution unless it's under $200. I usually don't by a system at launch unless I am bored with the graphics of the systems on the market at time and Xbox 360 will have been out for months by that time. Dreamcast and PSP are the only two launch systems I've bought but I'm leaning towards a 360 in a couple of months.
