[General Gaming / Re: Favorite Sega Saturn music]

Sega Rally!

[Fighting Street / Re: Should there be a database for mediocre platformers?]

There absolutely should be a database for this.
I would like to nominate IMPOSSAMOLE as the first entrant.  What an abysmal game that was. 

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I think Gunstar Heroes had a fruit rollup inside it, too.

I think you may be correct.
Kind of an odd product tie-in.
I do recall my Landstalker cartridge and manual smelling like artificial strawberry for some time.

Mine currently smells a little smokey I think.

Hmm.  I hate that.
I know I'd definitely prefer the artificial fruit scent

[Buy/Sell/Trade / SOLD!! Two 3DS games: Mario Tennis and Steel Diver]

*** SOLD SOLD SOLD *****


-------------------------------------------------------------

Both are complete with original cases, paperwork and game card.  Just like new -- I take care of my stuff.

Bundle deal -- I won't split since I just want these out of here.

$12.00 shipped (or make me an offer).

** Note:  Shipping is for US buyers in the lower 48 states ONLY

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I remember buying Landstalker from the clearance bin at the local KB Toy Store back in the mid 1990's.
What really resonates with me is the fact that it came packed with a fruit roll up inside.  For some reason, the fruit roll up company had some sort of marketing tie-in on this title. 

Guess it's one incentive not to keep your games sealed.

[General Gaming / Re: Xbox One]

That's pretty cool!  Good win for Microsoft!

[Off-Topic / Re: If you could only play 1 game for the whole summer, what would it be?]

Tenchu:  Return from Darkness on the original Xbox.

Tons of content and it's a challenge to get the highest rank on each level variant

[Off-Topic / Re: That movie you can watch more then once..]

The original Dawn of the Dead.
I like the film and I always seem to catch or observe something neat each time I watch it.

[General Gaming / Re: People with Amiiboners...]

I've still held off on purchasing any.
But I must say, the Pac-Man one has my attention.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I bought an iPhone 6

[General Gaming / Re: Konami officially pulling out of releasing console games.]

Well, this is never a good thing to see.
But seeing as I've stayed away from the modern gen of games, it doesn't really impact me. 

Konami was certainly a powerhouse during the 8 and 16 bit eras though

[General Gaming / Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.]

Been playing Monument Valley

Great game, but damn is it short!

Yup. Did you get all the extra levels (like the RED one?)

Lots of fun.

No, not yet.
I think the extra chapter is only like 8 more levels?

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you eat for breakfast every morning?]

Usually just coffee or water.
I don't like eggs, so that immediately limits my selection of traditional breakfast fare.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: PCE Rafflings! Browning SCD (complete)]

oh wow...I must have those buttons!  I love that classic CD ROM logo!

[Off-Topic / Re: the "love for Keith Courage" thread]

A standup guy.
He sold me a briefcase CD ROM system which helped to get me back into the world of OBEY

[Off-Topic / Re: Breakfast AFTER Breakfast]

Nope, not for me.
I find breakfast restrictive.  I hate eggs to begin with, so that cuts down on the traditional choices substantially.

[Off-Topic / Re: What do you depise AT THIS MOMENT, literally....]

Laundry

I really despise doing laundry.  Particularly the sorting and folding part.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: RAFFLE: Bloody Woof CIB]

Game arrived today!
I'm super stoked to play this again!  Thanks again Mr Venom

[Off-Topic / Re: Duck, duck, goose]

duck

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: CoreGrafx CIB, PCE Games and accessories, PCE Consoles, and other imports]

Is the boxed controller still up for grabs?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pc engine games that you've beat the most?]

Thinking back, it would have to be either Lengendary Axe or Dungeon Explorer.
Probably Dungeon Explorer, because I tried to finish it with each character.

[General Gaming / Re: Awesome music from average or crappy games?]

Super Hydlide on the Sega Genesis was notoriously bad, but the soundtrack was varied and phenomenal.

Notoriously bad by people who were too stupid to read the manual and play the game, you mean.

Shadow of the Beast is an average game with awesome tunes.

I loved the game and it's realistic day/night, weight and food elements.
It's just that the graphics were so horribly bad and it was quite difficult to figure out what to do/where to go in order to progress.  Thank god there was a thorough walkthrough in one of the Genesis game mags of the day.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS White PCE console, AV booster, R-Type]

White PCE console only.

Sounds like no controller or cables.

oops.

Hooked on Phonics worked for me...

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS White PCE console, AV booster, R-Type]

Just a quick question...does the PCE console include controller and AC adapter?

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Idk.
The amibo fad seems all to similar to beanie babies and pogs.
That said, there are a few that seem appealing, but I'll be damned if I pay $13 a pop for them

OMG! 
Sweet!  This has really made my day!

[Fighting Street / Re: Prolly]

I kind of despise words that are shortened like 'uni' for university or 'ninty' for Nintendo.

[Off-Topic / Re: What secrets do your PCE/TG games hold?]

I bought a bundle of old gaming magazines some time ago.
One particularly fun thing was seeing that someone had selected a game from one of the games dealers in the back pages.  The mail-away order form was carefully clipped out, and you could see handwritten notes on the page where the buyer had done the math and correctly factored in shipping and tax for his/her purchase.

Sadly, the game that this person appears to have selected was Acclaim's fortune/tarot NES game, "Taboo"...original MSRP was $39.99 in this particular advertisement! 
 

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Power Base Converter]

...I think I am a lot like you in that it only really takes one good game to give me a reason to buy a system...

I am the same. I own a jaguar because of raiden. I have it with a scart rbg cable to my sony bvm and that in it self is just an amazing experience with the best raiden port ever made (yeah ps1 is nice too but those loading times).

It's a remake, not a port.

I believe that the PSX and FM Towns versions actually use the arcade's graphics.

Raiden was one of the reasons I got a Jaguar the second time, but I found that I don't like that version's visuals.

Oh man how could you say such things! The visuals are amazing, unless your talking about the right side bar that does indeed take up a  large amount of real estate.

I was never impressed with the Jaguar's version of Raiden.
For all the hype and potential that we were promised about 64-bit power, this version is STILL lacking in many ways.  It should have been arcade perfect, but alas, we were given a Euro-ized interpretation (which I believe originated on the Atari Falcon PC) that falls short.

Pretty sure they its 2x 32bit chips not a 64bit and the jaguar version was the best hands down until ps1 released theirs. Still is is an amazing take on it. Vibrant colors, crisp graphics and a good soundtrack. It's the only game i play on my jag although it did come with cybermorph...but lets not talk about that.

Where did YOU learn to fly?

[Off-Topic / Re: Do you listen to other music while playing games?]

I prefer the game's soundtrack, no matter how bad.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: n00B Sauce Contest: The Quest For Hueycardo (KC)]

I currently have a non-functioning copy of KC
Does that still fall within your stringent parameters?

Can I still join this if it's not too late?

[Off-Topic / Re: Foods from your childhood that you can't get anymore...]

Pioneer Chicken, there's only a few left in the US, all the rest now are in China.  I mainly used to get the fish n' chips.  It was right down the street from my house. 

BisQUits?

[Off-Topic / Re: Foods from your childhood that you can't get anymore...]

I remember a few beverages that're gone (Surge, Crystal Pepsi, Zima, Orbitz, etc.), but I can't say I miss any of them.

For food stuffs, I miss Necco wafers and Clove/Blackjack/Beemans gum; they're still made, but I generally don't buy food online or visit hipster candy stores.  I also miss the old chili cheese burritos from Taco Bell; you can still get 'em, but I think the chili is a bit different nowadays and no fritos.

I've found Necco products (ie: Skybars, Clark bars, Necco Wafers) at Dollar Tree and Five Below stores here in the south. 

The gum that you mention I think can only be purchased online.

Nulltard - how much beer you need to shut down DoxPhile?

lol

[Off-Topic / Re: Foods from your childhood that you can't get anymore...]

Anyone remember the Nintendo cereal from the late 80's? Two half size bags of different cereal types per box. Great idea at the time, too bad it never stuck.

Yes, I do.
One half was a Zelda inspired theme. 
The other half was Mario.
If I recall both sides were fruit flavored, so the only difference was the shape of the cereal bits.

[Off-Topic / Re: Foods from your childhood that you can't get anymore...]

Jello Pudding Pops!

Seriously...why did they discontinue those??  And that was BEFORE Bill Cosby ran into his recent string of troubles!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Wraffles: 1 Loose Copy of "The Legenday Ax"]

Shit on a shingle is actually cream chipped beef on toast...great now I'm hungry for cream chipped beef on toast.

Even though it looks like pastrami coated with a generous slathering of Elmer's Glue, I too am hungry for creamed chipped beef on toast!

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

cause, sure, why not?

it just dawned on me that I have one of those beige/black Atari joysticks.
Never knew where it came from, but it appears to have been part of the XE set!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Wraffles: 1 Loose Copy of "The Legenday Ax"]

SuperGrafx is in.  Thanks for the pic, never heard of Waffle Snacks, I must try them.

If you like cheddar cheese and crispy potato snacks, then you'll love Waffle Snacks!
