So we all know that 8bitdo is making a n64 controller right? You can preorder it on Amazon. It comes out later this month.

Stopped at Goodwill today and they had a Master System for $50: Normally $50 is too high for a Goodwill purchase for me, but I've never actually seen a Master System in real life before. And it's in nice shape - even still has the film on the console and the stupid screw-in thumb sticks. Unfortunately I can only play it with RF right now because the HD Retrovision cables, while they do work with the console, it doesn't play nice with my TV on the Master System. Guess I'll have to finally buy a Sega AV cable.

I just got my copy of Kira Kira Star Night DX for the Famicom. How does this not have a sound test?  I also thought this was new but from some searching it looks like it came out in 2013. Did they just decide to reprint it or is this somehow different? Either way it has some rad music.

The dick boss in particular is gonk to the extreme. Great horizontal shooter. Is that the normal label for it? I have it for Mega Drive (where it is called Gynoug) and the label has art and looks normal. edit:I'm referring to Wings of Wor and did not mean to imply Snail Maze had gone X-rated. _____! fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Oct 8, 2016 |

I dunno, it's so basic and to the point. It's like those generic foods with a white box and giant block lettering saying PASTA or CHIPS, only with extra little clipart images of what the game's about. I regret not buying a CIB Master System years ago, but it was just a little too spendy for what I'd really get out of it. It was in great, great shape though.

Kid Fenris posted:FMV games figured prominently into the initial TurboGrafx CD push in North America, though. Look at the ads circa 1991 and you'll see It Came From the Desert and Sherlock Holmes promoted more than Valis II or Ys. those are like the only FMV games ever made for it though, it's not like the SCD where thats half the US library e: even the packins were all sprite based

That can't be all of them, as the SMS I had came with a motorcycle game that looked very much like Rad Racer with a bike ( Can't recall the name ) and another game that I believe was called Safari Hunt, which was a light gun game. Those were the two games you could play if you turned it on with no cart. E: Looked it up, my SMS had Hang-On/Safari Hunt, and apparently there was a code to get to Snail Game that I never knew about until today.

The SMS model 1 comes with Snail Maze, Hang-On/Safari Hunt, or very late models have Alex Kidd. the SMS model 2's come with either Alex Kidd or Sonic the Hedgehog.

Of all the games that I expected to be valuable, I didn't expect Truxton to be among them. Maybe it's just because it's a Toaplan game. I'll have to offer him more than I expected, certainly. RE: Wings of Wor: yeah, unfortunately the US NTSC cartridge is rather boring. Apparently the Mega Drive carts look like this:   Unfortunately I'm not that great at shmups and haven't ever gotten particularly far in it. If anything I would focus on Thunder Force IV for now. Is it easy to replace Genesis batteries? The Shining Force 2 cart always loses its saves right around when I get to the chessboard battle. I'd just swap the battery, but I don't know if I need a special one or just a regular lithium battery. Electric Lady fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Oct 8, 2016 |

If you are familiar with de-soldering it shouldn't be a big deal. From some cursory Googling it looks like it uses a tabbed version of the CR-2032, but you'd want to check what kind it says on the battery itself if you can open the cart up since a lot of the battery backed up games (on other systems at least) used a rechargeable version of the 2032. Don't take this as fact until someone else backs this up but it looks like it isn't rechargeable and this tabbed version should work judging by the listing's title: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CR2032-Lith...DwAAOSw-dBTuEyP _____! fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Oct 8, 2016 |

They don't all have Hang-on/Safari Hunt though. When my original console with those died, the replacement I got only had Snail Maze.  Guess it's not such a huge deal since the Hang-on/Safari Hunt cart is super cheap though. I ended up with one somehow ( don't even remember buying it) and I don't think I've ever played it. I'm just really, really bad at racing games in general and at Hang-on in particular.

People weren't ignoring the TG16 CD because it was full of terrible FMV games, people were ignoring it because NEC's US marketing for the entire TG16 console was a dumpster fire and people barely knew what it was. If they were really trying to "push FMV" it would have a library which looked like the Sega CD's instead of just ticking off a box with two filler titles

It's what I do in the thread. I just post collection pictures and try to update them every few years or write down poo poo I need the most. Only the SMS where I would like to have a full collection has something resembling a record. A printout of all the games from an SMS site and a pink hi lighter covering games I own. (A green check mark for ones in transit. Back when money flowed and home appliances weren't crapping out on me.) Hmm.. Maybe I'll do a Turbografx collection post this Sunday....
