if you can find it, the adventures of lomax is 2D gaming goodness. Klonoa, though made up of polys is a great sidescrolling platformer. Tomba as well. though Sony deservedly gets the rap for hating the 2D, there are a good amount of games on the PSX that do it well. not as many as the (import) saturn but.....

very common misconception but (egads) the cartridge port on the saturn isn't for Genesis carts!

by your logic Spiderman Web of Fire for 32X, Panzer Dragoon Saga for saturn, and keio Flying Squadron fro Sega CD are not rare; because each one of those were on clearance at TRU. If I only knew then....

$5-$10 at most

space spartans

b-17 bomber , tron solar sailor, bomb squad, and...can't remeber the last one.

if you are as impatient as I am, then ebay it. I don't know how it is in your area, but in Rochester, I never (NEVER!) find anything at the thrift stores any more. my last good find was a CDi 450 with no controller for $4.00 (turns out it didn't work, but a friend was able to fix it). that was four years ago. However, the flea market is a good resource. Unfortunately, I don't get to walk around there much (partly because I work, partly because a lot of the game vendors seem to think anything I'm going to buy is just going to be resold at my booth-hey idiots, I was a collector LONG before I became a seller). I've seen a lot of nice stuff at many random booths (not just the game oriented ones). Just keep looking around. Something I've learned in my time on the planet is that everything will come through eventually.

This may be the wrong place to look for an unbiased answer;however, which computer was "better" for games as far as graphics and sound goes? I've had a commodore for over a year and like it a lot. Last week I bought a XEGS with a handful of cartridge games. The commodore games seem to blow the xegs out of the water. BUT, 98% of my C64 games are disks, whereas all the xegs stuff I have are carts (would that make a difference?) I always assumed they'd be close, but it doesn't seem like it.

glad you like it. i'll see if there are any more diferent games at the store. would you be interested in the intellivoice?

i wasn't working it at that time. after a year of doing both days out there, i got burnt out and hired a couple of guys to work there for me. One was stealing and the other was practically giving the store away (felt pressured to look like he was making money, so would give vast discounts on volume purchases, which burned through a shit load of inventory; and overall killed the profitability of the site.) I priced the Turbo package at $130. Already a very fair price. I heard it sold for much less than that. I was a sad panda.

sorry for the triple post (why is there no edit button?). If you are interested in SMS and Jag, come talk to me. I'm there every Sunday.

I'm still deliberating on that. I don't like haggling either. When we first opened up two years ago, our prices were easily half of what stinky rich and the red-haired grizzly adams guy were charging. However, people would still try to beat me up for discounts. Got very irritating. Especially when I know I have something that I'm not going to have a hard time getting rid of (case in point, I sell N64 systems with one controller, hook ups and ninety day warranty for $20. They consistently sell out. one guy said if I were to throw in an expansion pak and Donkey Kong 64, he'd buy one. F-that.)

The reason for the ton of games is that occasionally someone will stop in and pick up some intellivision games. On the other hand, I've never been able to sell O2 games on their own, and 98% of the pre-NES games I sell are $1 a piece, so i know it's not the pricing. I'd rather move the whole lot, then sell just the hardware, and then have the games sitting around forever.

DEMON ATTACK! and i personally thought stadium mud buggies was awful.

s' funny. the first console I "had" (it was actully my older brother's) was an intellivision. I used to play it all the time (Demon Attack pwns!) and never felt bothered by the controllers. these days I can play for about five minutes before my fingers lock up. Getting old I guess....

glad you like the stuff i sent to the superflea. i'm probably going to take a coleco out tomorrow. (still deciding) out of the intellivision (it's the second model btw) and the odyssey, i'd suggest the intellivision. Odyssey is nice to own, but the intellivision would probably actually be played. as an aside, I'd take $50 for the Odyssey; but being how everyone that shops at the flea market expects money off of the price no matter how cheap the item is, i had my guy jack it up. (still, considering the amount of games that are with it, i think $60 is fair anyway.) If you didn't want the games with the intellivision, i'd drop the price a couple bucks (or give a deal if you bought more). I'm just sick of sending hardware out there, and no one buys anything to go with it. So I've begun bundling stuff with lame-o games.

to be honest? kind of crappy. I don't need reviews for twenty popular arcade game conversions. I'm looking for reviews of stuff I've never heard of, which being that I've been a console games my whole life, shouldn't be that hard.

i too am a newbie, having just picked up a xegs. are there any good review sites (such as lemon64 for the commodore?)

I've worked at a game store for the past five years, and we had both of thoes games at their time of release. I know we didn't order them from Blockbuster.

i can assure you, blues brothers and track and field weren't exclusive.

yes, although now that i've played the game, i'd have been just a happy without it. what a stinker.

no it wasn't exclusive, though it should have been exclusive to the "let's not release this" list.

i see plenty that sold for ~$20. That's way high? Other BB exclusives that I'm aware of included Blitz special edition, clayfighter sculptered edition, razor freestyle. could be wrong, but believe duck dodgers, daikatana, and carmageddon were exclusives that eventually were full releases.

i bought a boxed (no manuals) xegs from a kid with the following games(all loose cartridges):bug hunt, flight simulator II, centipede,deluxe invaders, miner 2049, congo bongo, spider city, and chess. I paid $30. was that too much?
