THANK YOU! Whenever the blue game gear comes up, everyone mentions the sports pack. I remember Toys R Us having a Lion King bundle with the blue system, and mention it; and get told I'm wrong. Thanks for verifing that once I again, I was right.

A pizza shop near me when I was a kid had the original non pressure button arcade Street Fighter. A friend who pretty much lived there was great at the game and could manage the special moves easily. I on the other hand never could get them to work, so i learned to beat the game with jump kicks.

If you do happen upon any new ones, they'll probably just be the Majesco rereleased systems. Which sounds all good, until you find out that your "new" system is just a refabbed old one complete with scratched up screen. A few years ago we ordered about twenty of the new Majestco systems. Four of them just plain didn't work, two of them the brightness dial didn't work, and only three of the rest of them actually looked new. I'd advise scouring eBay for a mint used one.

Games range from being SNES quality to being really really high end 2D. Most of the more popular games are available on newer machines, but even then (aside from some King of Fighters and Metal Slug) only in Japan.

How can you list something as complete, follow by no cart?

it's crazy how even the stupid games hold their value. I have a system with 8 or 9 games, nothing that great; but the one game I really really want is League Bowling. Don't ask me why, I jsut love that game. However, I'm not willing to pay $50 for it.

FWIW, Halvey lowered his score to a more suitable (?) 8.5

lol!

interested in Fatal Fury Special and AeroFighters 2. Is there a list of stuff you are looking for?

very few of those are actual games, but for the price...I would have picked them up. Wouldn't have paid much more though.

So NOT true! Be sure to check out Club Drive, Checkered Flag, Bubsy, Air Cars, Dragon, White Men Can't Jump, and Kasumi Ninja. They all easily eclipse T2K in terms of graphics and playability. Why play a game with twenty year old gameplay? The newer games are where it's at.

I have the game. It stays very true to the JRPG mold. IF you want innovation look elsewhere. I like the game. that is all.

actually I was insisting that RPG's are popular...which they are... The reason the list I quoted was missing a few games is because I took out all of the ones that (imo) were worth playing, thus leaving the vast majority of list alone. The argument that you don't need the VS fighters, or SNK fighters, or Dead or Alive when you have Battle Monsters and Criticom is laughable. Anyhow to those following along, I don't believe this has gone beyond regular internet arguing, so there is no reason to get snipy with either Bill or I. With an avatar like that, who could get mad at the guy?

I'm sorry, based on your before hand and post dissertation I don't see any indication that you were joking. Then why do they keep releasing them? I'd bet a conservative of number of twenty were released on PS2 this year. Not even that many survival horror games or splinter cell/metal gear types of games were released. Would you say those aren't popular? Strong demand does equal popular. IF it wasn't popular there would be zero demand and thusly zero value. The whole thing is you said there was no reason to buy imports on the saturn. I'm saying yes, there were good games released in the US, but if you only limit yourself to them you are really missing out on a lot of good stuff. You don't need Battlesphere to enjoy the Jaguar, however you are missing out (i'm told) on one of the better games if you don't have it. That's all i'm saying. obviously you do. if it's so easy, i'll take three kthnx. there is an extra character AND extra levels AND yes it isn't AS polished but as (imo) the best Castlevania I'll gladly swap some polish for some more content. I don't have the number in front of me, but Grandia II was far from the worst selling DC game Fixed on the other hand if they like the RE gameplay what other games in the US library shared it aside from Alone in the Dark? None. So this japanese game with english dialogue is a very viable and worthwhile purchase. too each their own. Is the gameplay so great that the game is worth what it sells for? no, but it is a great game. no, not really.

Now was that necessary? in a tough love sort of way, yes. if i said something just as asinine, I'd expect to be called out on it as well.

You sir, are a moron. RPG's aren't popular? Then why are they the genre that consistently hold their value when all other types of games are worthless the second you open them. 2D fighters aren't popular? Then why are people paying upwards of $90 for Marvel Capcom 2? THREE N64 games required the expansion pack, a far cry from most. The best games were released here? Then please get me American copies of Symphony of the Night, Grandia, DragonForce 2, Shining Force 3.2 and 3.3, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Princess Crown, the Capcom vs. games, Deep Fear, Radiant Silvergun, and so on. There was far more to the japanese market than hentai. There were gorgeous 2D games that those of us not blinded by the flash of crappy 3D were more than happy to buy. Concerning the article, replace the Saturn, Virtual Boy, 3DO and Lynx with the Vis, CD32, Hyperscan, and Game.com and I've got no problem with the list. While you can find a couple of good games on ANY given console, they don't make up for all the other crappy games.

I'm staring at it right now. It is rated "T". My guess is that since this costs next to nothing to make, Sega held some stuff back for another release. Spread the good stuff around in order to ensure sales kind of thing.

I had forgotten about this mag. I subscribed (still have the issues sitting in the closet somewhere) and really dug the magazine. I have a very vivid memory of reading the David Crane issue while sitting outside grilling steaks on a beautiful summer day.

I've already seen it down to $59.99 at most places now...could have saved ten bucks (should have saved the whole $70 and not bought it)

I am interested in some of your items, but heard you are a bad trader. Will you ship first and then I'll send payment?

Hottest video vixens? Raiden Dante Any leading character from a Square RPG

In case someone was thinking Lord Thag was exagerating or trying to make the HS look bad so that he could look cool, he wasn't. I picked up a unit, extra controller, and two packs of cards. First thing that ticked me off was that I got doubles of cards in each pack. Out of 102 possible cards, I got doubles. Unbelievable. On the way home my son opened the controller. Out of the $19.99 this thing costs $19.49 must be pure profit. Chinsy is too good of a desrcipter of this PoS. More on that later. So it's all hooked up and turned on. After a TWENTY SECOND LOAD, the Marvel logo (like before the movies) plays. Then another load, and you get the games' main menu. I pick two player battle. Another load. My son and i scan in our character cards (me wolverine, him Lady Deathstrike). ALMOST A FULL MINUTE LATER OF LOADING the battle begins. Still pictures have more animation than this trash. I wipe the floor with him because nothing can stop a low leg sweep. There are no real moves, and since the design gurus who crafted the controller made the stick like an analog (i doubt it is, but it is free moving like a PS2 stick) good luck having it respond. UP/Forward which should be a forward jump more often than not results in jumping straight up or just moving forward. The only good thing I can say about the controller is that they built a little card holder into it. Handy for when you want to do your "spectacular" finishing move, but can't find where that card is among all your character and mod cards strewn about the floor. The dumbest thing is that I mistakenly thought that after you scanned in your mod cards, the added stats would be forever incorporated into your character. Not so. They only add to the current fight and disappear when the battle is over. So what does this mean? that out of 80 or so mod cards, there are only going to be two that you will use. I got one that made half of an enemys' attacks do no damage and one that negated projectile attacks. With those two cards I easily beat the whole game. LOW SWEEP KICK FTW! The one kind of cool idea was the danger room, which tasks you with stupid little mini games, the completion of which will increase your character stats. However, being that I beat the game with no stat increase at all, it's kind of pointless. Very, very stupid idea and on behalf of all Mattel shareholders I believe whoever greenlighted this thing should be fired and forced to repay all R&D costs.

I believe they have really priced themselves right out of the market on the cards. If they showcased Marvel illustrations it would be cool, but from what i've seen it's just the crap renders from the game. $5 would be more acceptable, $3 guarenteed sale. I'm going to buy a pack or two, but no more than that. (until they're clearanced that is)

I highly doubt more games will come out for it, especially if no one is buying it now.

one of us really needs to take one for the team and pick one of these up. If I come across one this weekend I'll do it, just so everyone can "lol" at me.
