Now I see how Pat's remark about price is such a sticking point here.

I can count on one hand the non-racing 3D games that I actually liked. I never got into FPSs. But Once MS released Ori and the Blind Forest, I was like "Now you're talking!" Then we got Cuphead. Both were big hits, so I think 2.5D is coming back with more generous dev budgets & the genre is rising above stocking stuffer status. But they still get overshadowed by Call of Duty67: This time we're serious with 5 more bullets *with optional DLC pack.

Thunder Force III MUSHA Mercs TF III just edges out Lightening Force for all around package, but LF is better visually.

There was a resistance to the empire.

Wow. Nice passive aggressive way to shut me down to prevent me answering you.

Tomorrow will be the Sega Dreamcast's 20th Anniversary. I'm kinda new to AA, & the only Sega forum I found was Genesis, so I hope it's in the right place. Happy Birthday Dreamcast.

I may be mistaken, but I thought the executives were embezzling the Ouya bank accounts and that's why Ouya went belly up. Not true?😕

And the 32X was more powerful than the 3DO. It did even worse.

Tommy 🧐... "During my time in congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet." -Al Gore "He said he invented the internet" -Bush campaign staffer. creating & inventing are not synonyms.🤣 It was bad phrasing on his part and opened him up for ridicule to be sure, but he was historically correct. Before the information highway democratization legislation, the network was called the Arpanet.

I'm glancing at 32 or maybe 48 levels of geekdom.🤠

I am, but mostly for it's shooters (I don't say shmups) like Blazing Star, Aero Fighters and Metal Slug. I'm just saying is if there's going to be a fighting game on this system, the gesture possibilities of the touch screen opens up a lot of neat possibilities instead of button mashing... but also that fighting games have evolved since the "generic guy in a gi" and they need personalities now. Actually I should state KOF & Samurai Shodown are great. But the new one for $60, even though it is in HD? Pricey.

Meh. No personalities. No characters. I get that it was an early fighting game, but if that's a possibility (which I don't see why it shouldn't be) then a Ye-ar Kung Fu type of game, with actual fleshed out characters would be much better. The possibilities of the touch screen on moves is endless. Swipes, gestures, sweeps, circles etc. to pull off moves is tantalizing.

Funny how SF gets no love, but that AWFUL Karateka (The absolute WORST 7800 game) gets votes. No taste!

Or it could look like this with a QR code inside of it and a nice box to store it in.

Tommy's mentioned during most interviews that it would be something different, special and surprising with physical media, but he said we'd have to wait until they're ready to disclose exactly what that is. I think he also said that somewhere earlier in this thread. Sounds intriguing.

Is there a Wii Fit audience? Really? I remember half my middle aged, mimosa drinking friends buying Wiis and Wii fits and never saw them use it. Instead they did "Drinking Around the World", the pub crawl at EPCOT, religiously every year.

And to add a subtle value point to this, I paid for my own Intellivision through a years' worth of menial, teenager jobs. I bought most of my games with that same allowance/lawn mowing money at $25-35 a pop (Pitfall & Dragonfire were a clearance bin after the crash <$10). I think I only got 3 as gifts. Those little bast... I mean my darling step brothers, came in and destroyed my sister's game system (I didn't consider it mine anymore) without paying a dime for it. Everybody knows teenagers have no or very little money, and so what I lost was much more than the yard sale value of whatever was left. I guess I'm getting worked up by this thread now, where it's been 30 years since all this happened, and I really did get over it. My all time favorite systems, the SNES & Genesis are still with me, so I'm ok.

I voted Galaga, but I'm going snowball in Hell and hoping for Dragon Breed from IREM. They're remaking IREM games, but that one never got a console launch.

Capcom made one for the Saturn that had all the characters as kids, if I recall correctly. >>google>> Yeah! Here it is! Pocket Fighter

Seriously though. Few of us ever heard of the Channel F or the Arcadia 2001, RCA whatchacallit and other also-rans in the early 80s. We had 3 dominant companies and Magnavox. I never saw a Commavid or Apollo game at any store. Only in magazines.

That's what my sister told me. I'm sure they took a screwdriver to it pried it open or something like that.

And considering that most cellphone owners stupidly film their videos vertically, the Amico controllers would be right at home sitting vertically in their incompetent videographer hands. I hear the orientation can be shifted around and customized for Genesis users used to holding their boomerang controllers horizontally.

10 years with us. She's 43 now, so yeah Tommy Tallarico! Guys in their 50s still buy game systems. 😎

Oh Cool! How about the old Imagic games? Are there issues with them?

Ha! I found this adapter for a Jaguar controller to use on INTV, CV & 5200.
