Hell yeah! I've got one of those shelves too and it works really well for Sega CD cases. The thing is lighter than air, fairly strong/durable for what it is, and I think it cost me all of $15 way back when.

Good to hear because once I get my hands on a Sega CD and 32x my latest garage sale haul is going on the shelf.

Those would be on my list of standouts for the Sega CD.

Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing for the 32x are awesome. Metalhead is decent. Never played the others. If you are going to get into 32x, Knuckles Chaotix is worth the pick up. Its a polarizing game, but I liked it.

Man I'd like to meet the guy who engineered the fatty NDS and kiss him. The thing has SUCH INCREDIBLE battery life it's unbelievable. I left my charger at a hotel months ago, and I play the thing all the time. I ordered a couple replacements from China and they just now came today, but my NDS has been rock solid the entire time.

Dude that's a SOLID lot and a drat nice garage sale find. I could go on and on about so many of them too. Batman & Robin for the Sega CD is one I don't hear about hardly ever and it's drat fun and has some of the best FMV on the system (Clayface!) The Spiderman Kingpin game kicks rear end too. I actually just bought Fahrenheit myself on ebay for $5 after years of never being able to find it and you get it along with a million other great games, so jealous. You mentioned you don't have any of the systems. Does that mean you don't have a Sega CD or 32x, or you don't have a Genesis even?

The reason why I'm asking is I was wondering if you'd be interested in a trade of sorts. I've got an extra model 2 Genesis I'd be more than happy to send your way along with a few controllers (I've got a shitload of controllers and would be using a flatrate box so could throw in other random goodies too) for a few of those games. Here's some of what I'd be interested in and why (not saying I'm getting them all obviously) and don't worry I'm not cherry picking the expensive games like a dick or anything:

- Star Trek Starfleet Academy 32x -- I LOVE this game on the SNES and haven't been able to find it in the wild and I really really want it
- BC Racers 32x -- This game looks like it has potential but could be lovely. Regardless I'd love to be one 32x game closer to a complete set
- Batman & Robin Sega CD -- I've got this game but it's disc only. I don't expect you to part with this awesome game but hey a guy can ask

If you're interested in a trade but want something besides a Genesis I've got shittons of stuff I can offer up too. Sure I could buy those games on ebay but I'd much rather hook a goon up with a system/controllers/random poo poo than paypal some random guy.

(By the way the Golf game for the 32x is arguably the cheapest 32x game there is but in my opinion it's still fun to play. At one time I had 6 copies. Sorry for my rambling and parenthesis everywhere)

-- Also 32x wise you need to pick up Mortal Kombat 2 and NBA Jam. Both can be had for pennies and both are awesome.

I love the Spider-Man and Batman and Robin games that are in that lot there. Which Working Designs game is that, Vay? I only have the first Lunar, so I don't know what the spine looks like on the other three.

Also, having a 32X without Kolibri is meaningless! Every collection needs a killer hummingbird shooter!

I thought I'd be the only one interested in the Chinese bootleg GBA games, but if there's enough interest for a group buy I'd be happy to get the ball rolling! I'll buy if I can get at least 6 people. I figure I can hawk the other four on Craigslist if I have to.

Mother 3 would be $11.50 and the FF collection would be about $18, neither including shipping. This one's a minimum order, so sign up even if there are more than 10 listed!

Gotta say that is an awesome lot. Crueball is the only pinball game based on Motley Crue :black101:. The Spiderman game for the Sega CD is kick rear end and you can collect different covers of the comics to view in a gallery which I found to be fun. Also no mention of Eternal Champions, which in my opinion, is not as good as mortal kombat, but is still a decent fighter. Plus it has full motion video fatalities!

Like I said I'm set on Genesi, but I do need to go through and make a list of my duplicate games/systems to sell/trade to fund my habit, and all the systems I still NEED. My wife won't let me spend any more money on retro games unless it's money made from selling the stuff I have. Which means I'm probably going to part with this guy.


Thanks for all the reviews. I love that half the posts are suggestions of games I should pick up for a systems I don't own yet. This thread is like the opposite of a 12 step program.

32x prices are all over the place on eBay, is my best bet to pick up a cheap one without cables and source them elsewhere? Also does the 32x play better in any of the the different Genesis revisions? I have the "high definition"model 1 and a big board model 2.

MotionInJoy made both my wireless and wired mice stop working, and even after I uninstalled it they would not work. I had to manually fix the loving registry to make them work again.

It cannot be stressed enough: Never, ever, ever EVER use MotionInJoy, it is the worst product I have ever installed on a computer.

I think Ikaruga falls into the same sort of category as Bangai-O, where something has to snap and make you get it, whereas you might just see it as a generic bullet hell shooter. For me, I liked the patterned aspect to attacks, and the light/dark mechanic was cool.

But I feel like my own personal love for shooters is pretty much in the deep classics, with Gyruss (Arcade) being my go-to and Gun.Smoke (NES foremost, Arcade secondary) beind my fallback. I love the patterns. I love special characters that do different poo poo. I don't so much care for the Cat's Cradle of navigating bullet showers or insta-death beams.

I wanna say Ikaruga was the first console shmup I ever bought (yes, late to the party), so it kind of stuck with me. We did have Tyrian and Raptor: Call of the Shadows for DOS though.

Joy2Key lets you turn game controller inputs into mouse/keyboard, allowing you to control just about anything as long as the computer can see your controller.

I've never tried it with an arcade stick, but SCP DS3 works great for my Dualshock 3. It's much easier to use than MotionInJoy. Once it's installed, it's just plug and play.
