  1. It's one of my favorite SNES games of all time. I loved Punchout in the arcade and this version was better than any arcade version and way better then the NES version. It's the best arcade style boxing game of the 16 bit era IMO with Evander Holyfield Boxing for the Genesis being the best sim styled boxing game.


  2. I think gamestop did a test and found the sandisk duo sticks to actually be faster than the official sony sticks.

     

    My personal experience?  My sandisk died on me twice when using with my PSP.  The first time I was able to reformat it, the 2nd time no luck.

    My Sandisk died on me once. At least I backed it up on my PC 2 weeks before it died. And since it did died I am backing up my MS once a week just in case it dies again.


  3. I missed all the Bionic Commando talk. That's my all time favorate video game! I've never thought it got the attention it deserved, but I'm too biased to say.

    I'm with you on that one. While it's not my favorite games of all time it's in my top ten. There was only one follow up game on the Gameboy Color which wasn't bad either.


  4. It's not as big or as nice as this site but there is a forum with helpful people who know a lot about these systems at www.pcenginefx.com  . Some other good sites for game reviews and turbo grafx information are:

     

    www.turbo2k.com

     

    www.turbografx.net

     

    www.turbografx-16.com  (lots of cheats and codes for games)

     

    www.pcenginebible.roarvgm.com  (this site has a list of most american and japanese pcengine/turbografx releases and reviews for some of them)

     

    www.videogamecritic.net  (not about these systems in particular but has a nice section of turbografx reviews)

    Thank's for the links. It'll take me some time to get through all that but I did see some good stuff. BTW I managed to find a pic of a 6 button controller. I Googled "Turboduo". It's top row of buttons is backward from the Sega controllers and that's what was messing me up.

  5. OK.

     

    Thanks for the links. There's some great stuff for sure.

     

    I'll look at everything asap.

     

    Interesting to know that the UK mags are superior to what we have in the States.

    Well my 2 favorite magazines are Game Informer and Games TM out of the UK which I usually buy at Barnes and Noble.


  6. just wondered what everybody considers to be the absolute worst Atari Lynx game eva made :)

     

     

    i havent played all the lynx games made so its hard for me to say ,but out of the 30+ games i have pld i think my vote goes to Hard Drivin.

     

     

    this could also help me decide which games to leave a while b4 buying heh

    I have 30+ Lynx games too but I kind of like Hard Driving. Batman Returns is the worst one I played by far.


  7. Another game that's superior on the Genesis is WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game, also designed by Sculptured Software.  It's got better animation and more characters than the Super NES version.  The game's got a very over-the-top Mortal Kombat-esque feel which you'd probably like, if you're willing to invest the time in learning the moves for each character.

    A couple of more that game where superior on Genesis which suprised me were Cool Spot (a fun game IMO) and Toy Story (no so fun). And of course the sports stuff was better on the Genesis.


  8. I voted Genesis. I prefer fast paced action games over RPGs. Even though most games looked better sounded better on the SNES they didn't necessarily play better and sometimes did not. Plus I thought titles like Tom Jam & Earl, Comix Zone, Ecco and even Sonic somewhat where pretty innovative and cool.


  9. Rygar is at the top of my list. Although it's had a PS2 update most folks I come across never heard of it. It has no save sucks but that's not a problem if you emulate. Kid Icarus was a good one too but extemely difficult, however it is easier if you emulate that one too because you can save anywhere.


  10. I could not believe this when I first heard the PSP got hacked, but you can't knock this source.

    Omigoodness!!! I heard the could do the same the Dreamcast but I'm not sure. I sorry, but that's old news. I thought you were going to report that firmware 151 and 152 have been hacked. If they don't get it hacked I'll have to get a new PSP when the good games start coming out later this year because I'm still going to play my homebrews.


  11. Currently available emu's (and they are quite good) are PC Engine, Gameboy color, Nes, SNES, SMS/GG, Genesis.  Other less complete ones include an Amiga emu, GBA, wonderswan, MAME, Neogeopocket.

     

    There may be a couple I forgot to mention.

    887330[/snapback]

     

    Yeah, there's a fantastic Neo-Geo CD emulator that was just recently released. It's a whole lot more complete than the previous one, featuring both sound and music for many games. They run at full speed as well, with the PSP set at its maximum speed of 333MHz. Now, I finally have The King of Fighters '99 and Twinkle Star Sprites on a handheld system! Oh yes, life is good.

    And where can you get that emulator?

    887547[/snapback]

     

    And they just released an update to the SNES emulator making ig run smoother and louder. So now I am playing Super Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II and Killer Instinct at decent speeds via PSP. It's handheld fighting bliss. And I still just have the 32mb Memory Stick. :P You can find all the emus and updates on pspupdates.com.


  12. Be sure to get some of those fine, fine emulators to go with it!

    How big of a memory card do I need? I want to get a 1GB at least but I am taking a trip in a few weeks and bought 3 games for my PSP so it's going to have to wait till the end of the month. And the games I got are Lumines, Ridge Racer and NFL Street. All 3 are great IMO and the old racing game on Ridge Racer is fun too. It makes me even more excite about emulation.

    256M is sufficient if you're just going to store a collection of your favorite games. If you want to have access to a huge assortment of ROMs, even if some of them suck, you'd better get the 1G stick.

     

    The 256M stick is what I've got right now, and I'm satisfied with it. That gives me enough room for a dozen Genesis games, a dozen Super NES games, fifty NES titles, one Neo-Geo CD (stripped of MP3s), and one TurboDuo CD (with MP3s), with a little breathing room left for my PSP game saves, a few of my favorite drawings, and a Segata Sanshiro commercial. That's enough to keep anyone entertained for the duration of the PSP's short battery life.

    Well eventhough I haven't bought a bigger memory stick yet am I playing with the NES and SNES emulators and a few ROMs plus the Doom port on the 32mb stick. It's all pretty kick ass. I look forward to trying out more when I get a bigger memory stick.


  13. I was 16 when the Lynx and Gameboy launched in 1989 and working at a toy store at the time. I was totally up on the Gameboy from whatever the game mags at the time were. I bought a Gameboy at launch from a store I didn't work at becuase we didn't get them in until a week after launch but when I saw a Lynx a few months later at TRU I was blown away by the demos of Blue Lightning and California games. I never forgot about the Lynx but didn't buy one until a couple of months ago of Ebay as I started collecting this year.

  15. These are all good games, nice deal!

    Which titles did you own already?

    881338[/snapback]

     

    Thanks. Some of the titles are what I'd imagine to be some of the best on the Lynx. Hard Driving is the only I already had. So I basic got 15 titles new/used titles for my Lynx II for $6.67 a piece with a minty Lynx I, Comlynx, carrying case and extra AC adapter all thrown in as free bonuses. That's how I looked at it when I saw it.

     

    The other titles I already had are:

    Ninja Gaiden

    Chips Challenge

    Steel Talon

    Batman Returns

    Electrocop

    Hydra

    Malibu Bikini Volleyball

    Jimmy Connors Tennis

    Super Skweek

    Xybots

    Hockey

    Baseball Star

    NFL Footballs

    Toki


  16. What first made me think of collecting was when my friend told me a woman he dated had a 2600 set up and how cool he thought it was playing it. I started thinking about how I wanted a 5200 as a kid and never got one. Soon after I got a 5200 on ebay and been going pretty strong with collecting since. I've since picked up a Dreamcast, PSX (already had PS2 though), N64, Virtual Boy, Jaguar, Gameboy Color and Lynx and many many games for all of them.


  17. I don't see much of a point as a consumer to pre-order unless you are looking at it at some kind of layaway deal but I don't see much point in that either. The only thing I ever put on layaway was a used big sceen TV because I didn't have the cash at the time and was afraid it wouldn't be there when I got the dough. I look at pre-orders as game stores getting small loans without having to pay interest.
