i think thats how i ended up with goemon 64 which i played a ridiculous amount considering i didnt have the memcart and couldnt save

Goemon 64 holds a special place in my heart because it's one of those games where you can tell they were still figuring out 3D so there's gigantic stretches of nothing because they were trying for semi realistic distances between points of interest, but it's still really fun and funny.

Someone probably did the numbers and figured out they can crank out emulation devices super cheap themselves instead of licensing them out.

i mean they already jumped on the toreba bandwagon which is literally just pointing a camera at an arcade machine so its not that big a stretch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8PWuTf1NI

and people in japan are much more amenable to paying for credits for home games than we would be here, the home version of sound voltex costs the same as if you went to an arcade I think, so presumably someone out there would be interested in renting time at a game center over the internet to play whatever the current sega arcade games are like uh pengo online??

this is like the equivalent of that nickelodeon micro video player that only played clips on cartridges that you had to buy

also how can they not include phantasy star? was that only on master system and never got a GG release?

Is this like how you can play those physical crane games in Japan from your home with real money and if you win something you can have it shipped home to you?

homeless snail
Mar 14, 2007

yeah, but you will definitely pay multiple times the price of just buying the thing yourself, and also i've done the free plays on toreba before and those machines are hosed UP. most rigged crane games i've ever seen

Alright some sites have gotten ahold of the info and it's about Sega using fog computing for gaming in arcades. (they never stopped making arcade hardware. Chihiro was a souped up Xbox, then they moved on to Intel solutions)

I read this wikipedia article and now I understand less about fog computing than I surmised from its name (fog is a low cloud so fog computing would be local clouds)

My nostalgia. I had $60something from catsitting or lawnmowing or some such. My little brother wanted something so I lent some money and then had to count out change from my wallet to get Doom 2 because I thought I had more. So I was that weird kid to whatever loser was manning Babbage's, and I was that kid with a wallet with an overstuffed coin pouch, but hey I got Doom 2. Net win.

Just hack the SNES Mini and put 'em on there instead

actually I think 3DS has game gear as a part of its virtual console and I assume that it would have the only worthwhile games on there already
