Someone mentioned Xbox so I need to mention that I finally managed to find a copy of Otogi today for $10 and it's a fun game. Still weird as poo poo, but what From game isn't?

My new Vectrex multicart also just came in today. Sean Kelly made his already great multicart even better. There is one or two titles I wish were on there like Vectrexagon (Super Hexagon for Vectrex) but I can get that cheaply through Packrat Games.

Vectrex multicart seems really cool, but what do you do about the overlays? They seem pretty integral to the presentation of lots of games.

Mostly they're just lazy colorization though, and a control guide on the bottom of the screen. There's a few people that do reproduction overlays, or you can make your own if you're careful and have a decent inkjet printer.

Crossposted from the NES\SNES classic thread... Speaking of the Playing with Power book. I just got the NES Classic one because my 4yo is obsessed with Bubble Bobble. Turns out that isn't in it. Is there a supplemental one, or a Nintendo Power I can search out with Bubble Bobble? Is there an index somewhere of what games appeared in what games magazine issue?

There's a few people that do reproduction overlays, or you can make your own if you're careful and have a decent inkjet printer. Yeah anything the can handle transparency prints can get you a great quality Vectrex overlay since its screen size is a good deal below the space on a standard printer page. And these days you can usually get like a pack of 50 sheets for ~$15. Vectrex stuff can fit two overlays per standard letter size page, since the dimensions they need to be is roughly 7.1 inches by 5.2 inches - but some printers want too much margin space on the top and bottom of the page for you to actually fit the two in.

Caitlin posted:I bought a good game today Someone is in for some fun. Do you have the Sega Ages version of the original game? It's one of the better packages in the series for having a lot of features and some interesting extra modes (including Altered Beast for those weirdos). I guess that makes up for not being able to include the Die Hard stuff. Kind of a shame that Sega hasn't tried to revive the series since it really feels like it was running a bit ahead of its time.

Stepped foot in a Gamestop for the first time in many years looking for some PS3 games to start my collection. They sells TONS of crap now, all sorts of nerdy junk. Half the PS3 games didn't have the original box, just the white GS label. I ended up getting: The Last of Us (had to ask for this one, why wouldn't this be on the shelf?) South Park - The Stick of Truth and something called THE ULTIMATE ACTION TRIPLE PACK containing Just Cause 2, Sleeping Dogs, and Tomb Raider on one disc. I probably wouldn't have gotten any of these games but for $10 why not. They didn't have too much I was interested in, and the stuff I might have picked up was cheaper on Amazon for new copies.

Sleeping Dogs is so loving good One of the few things I bothered to platinum, I just loved playing it so much. Just Cause 2 is an excellent sandbox too.

Uhhhhhh. Thats gonna be one hell of a letdown compared to the first pack. IIRC, Sleeping Dogs was supposed to be one of those True Crime or whatever games and then they just decided to make it its own thing.

FilthyImp posted:IIRC, Sleeping Dogs was supposed to be one of those True Crime or whatever games and then they just decided to make it its own thing. Sort of - it was an original game that Activision made them turn into a True Crime game, then Activision dropped it and Square-Enix picked it up and it became a (different) original game again. The very first version was called Black Lotus and it had a female protagonist based on Lucy Liu.

Sleeping Dogs is really loving good and Giant Bomb's quick looks of the game and its dlc are some of the funniest videos they've ever done.

I did it once as a kid but I'd never try again.

My 4yo and I have done it once, but apparently you have to then defeat the boss in one go. We've still not seen the good ending. He can 1 credit his way to around level 50 in NES Bubble Bobble, but can't read. Priorities.

Sir Tonk posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Cb9dX-vHVM Thats an interesting mod. I wonder how adapting a RGB-scart to component input would compare (and save time and risk of death). Sounds like he is going to do a comparison next by modding a tv with every input and compare. So I assume he would do RGB - component for that input (can't think of another way). Since you are still only doing consumer grade line count, you are just feeding it the most pure/accurate input anyway. So I would assume the best quality component would be pretty close to that, especially since you only have to order the adapter (if your console is modded anyway).
