My Super Nintendo multi-tap may not be shaped liked Bomberman, but at least I have some solace that I can look at the Hudson bee on the sticker . Man I just had a flashback to ordering that and Super Bomberman 2 out of one of the listings in the back of EGM circa '97.

flyboi posted:No. VA6 is HDG and you can tell the difference based on the FCC label at the bottom as it's shorter and has a silver box inside of it. It is the only TMSS HDG revision. Seconding that this is true since my model 1is a VA6 and has the High Definition Graphics text, TMSS screen and the ext port in the back. Well it had the ext port until I needed room for S-video/line out audio jacks.

Pretty awesome if you ask me. cosmicjim posted:My 10 year old daughter just finished Day of the Tentacle...My new proudest moment at as a father. Not that she finished it(because I helped her), but because she enjoyed it. Both of you receive joint custody of the "greatest parents award". Raising those children right. I look forward to their posts in 6-8 years complaining that someone sniped an auction for a SNES game and the subsequent post by either of you about the great deal you got outbidding them.

mike12345 posted:How is the 3D gamepad for Saturn? I'm really impressed by the standard Saturn gamepads, they're my favourite, so I'm thinking about buying one of those as well. They look goofy & cool. If you are going to play games that use it I'd say go for it with the caveat that the standard pad is going to be much more comfortable for everything else. You can't beat the perfection of the regular pad basically, but hopefully someone who actually plays more Saturn than I do can weigh in. fishmech posted:It's basically the Dreamcast controller, so if you like those you'll like the 3D pad. I like the Dreamcast controller but the Saturn 3D pad seems slightly more comfortable. _____! fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Aug 8, 2016 |

d0s posted:Agreed, it does suck. The 6-button pad I posted is way better. It's the pad that came with the model 2 and CDX The six button you linked to? As everyone knows it is fantastic. I love it; I use one as my main Genesis pad. It feels like a smaller version of the good Saturn pad. I also have this six button pad which is not fantastic. Lower quality plastic? Check. Awkward three button shape? Check. Hard edges to dig into your hands? Very check. At least it has turbo. That pad only comes out if I want to play co-op Streets of Rage 3 which obviously happens less than playing co-op Streets of Rage 2. That other six button pad looks like a dream compared to this one! How a controller specifically for the Brazilian market released late in the console's life made it's way to a New Hampshire pawn shop is beyond me. Uncle at Nintendo posted:I love when I randomly come across the Super Nintendo being mentioned in mainstream popular culture: http://teamcoco.com/video/celebrity-nudes-hacker-gets-hacked drat it Conan you're better than this, that is clearly a PS2 controller for the auto-erotic asphyxiation nor is the SNES yellow enough to be legit!  edit regarding below:I didn't notice that but now I also see that the PS2 controller has a USB plug! _____! fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Aug 15, 2016 |

This is why people buy every N64 they come across at garage sales/thrift shops since they'll just wind up on the street. That Gamecube has clearly seen some poo poo.

Random Stranger posted:The box art for the Super Famicom version of Super Strike Eagle is extremely Well CLEARLY there must be a boss in that game who is a giant semi-nude floating lady. I just realized that sounds like I'm talking about Parodious. Or its just Boomer in a costume.

RZA Encryption posted:The local retrogames meetup group closed recently, and I was thinking about starting a new one, but with a twist. It would be specifically a handheld gaming meetup. I figured it would be better since there would be less equipment to haul and you could meet in parks instead of people's houses. I really don't want some of those people in my apartment. Seriously though that sounds like a great variation of a retro game meetup. There is also the bonus that it is more ambulatory with (presumably) less barrier to entry, as you mentioned.

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 |

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 |

Random Stranger posted:There were quite a few something-den games at the time featuring ghost samurais. Konami's Getsu Fuma Den and Namco's Genpei Toma Den series being the most prominent. Kenseiden in particular looks a lot like Getsu Fuma Den I'm playing Getsu Fuma Den right now. I am not looking forward to seeing if I correctly wrote down the Katakana down correctly for the password. I'm enjoying it so when I'm done I'll have to load up Kenseiden on the Genesis flash cart. Always good to get recommendations that are similar to what you're playing now.

I remember the awkward time I was reading a preview of Ballz and was confused about what one of the billboards said in the the background. "Mom, what does 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' mean?" and then she gave a chipper, but short and blunt explanation. She was also one of the Dr Mario Destroyers. Just constantly running train on level 24 over and over. On the flip side she played with the music off and thus is not privy to the wonder of Fever nor Chill. I'm not a huge Jaleco fan but count me in for those compilations. I only have a few of those on cart. I definitely don't feel the need to play through Astyanax again. I played through it at a friend's bachelor party (read as: a bunch of nerds bringing TVs and games). I told the bachelor that instead of joining in multiplayer shennanigans I would personally do my best to play through the entirety of an an NES game I hadn't yet played through to slog through and show him the ending. And yes I had migraine cooling pads. _____! fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Jan 7, 2017 |

Quiet Feet is making me regret not picking up one of those sealed best seller F-Zero carts from Amazon a couple years back. The closest I've come is taking some shrink wrap off of a thrift store copy of Solstice that wasn't sealed. If there is ever a New England retro game goon meet I'll make sure to scowl at you from a distance. Also I do not need another copy of Astyanax, one is enough!. I wouldn't mind trying the arcade version though! Mostly I remember Jaleco from the Fortified Zone series since there were maps in the first issue of Nintendo Power I owned.  I probably shouldn't have said I wasn't a huge fan of Jaleco, I meant that as they aren't my favorite but they are good.
