Anyone playing video games this New Years Eve?

[Arkhan]

I was playing WoW, Tron Evolution and FF14 simultaneously because I have problems.

A friend of mine thought he was good at Super Punch Out on SNES. He was actually pretty good, but i stomped him because I mastered the game back in '94.

 

We played some games on the Vader too.

I ended up playing 5200 until pretty late into the night instead of Dreamcast. It's been awhile since I played with the 5200, and I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I truly LOVE the 5200 controllers. No flames please, it's just my opinion. Comfortable, great control (I have new Best gold sticks though), and just awesome gameplay. Side buttons are a little annoying, but they work.

 

Those 5200 games just rock.

 

Hopefully you have a Wico Joystick.

 

I'd like to get my hands on a prototype 5200 controller, you know, the one with the yoke and gimble design.

 

No, I was referring to the regular 5200 controllers. But I have Best-gold rebuilt ones. I honestly like them and have no issues whatsoever with the sticks, even on games like Pac-Man. Other than the aforementioned non-optimal side button issue, that is. Even those, I can play for a couple hours with no cramping, and it probably is the best place for them with that controller design. If they were maybe just a little bigger and more rounded maybe... not sure. Anyway, I've never felt the need to get WICO controllers for the 5200, unlike most people.

Are the gold rebuilt ones hard to come by? I'd like to get a couple.

The best way to get ahold of him is to just call him. I know the site is a bit hard to navigate, but look up the price before you call so you know what to expect. I think they're worth every penny, but it's not a price I would call "casual" LOL

I'll look into it. Many thanks.

No problem. I finally found it:

 

http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/5200.htm

 

About half way down the page. It says they're $32 each, but then says something about core required (I didn't send him my cores when I ordered mine though), and maybe a $5 gold surcharge. That's why I say it's best to call him to see what's up.

 

If you aren't really serious about the 5200, the standard rebuilt ones are probably fine too, but it doesn't seem like it's too much more to get the Gold ones.

Me and my cousin took turns running through the whole game of inFamous new years eve. The last boss didn't get harder, just a whole lot cheaper. Stayed up till 2 in the morning.
