Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

Yes, isn't the Model 2 VA4 lovely? I like the way it sounds and looks. It doesn't have quite the bass of the early Model 1, but it doesn't lose quality at higher volumes like the Model 1 does. A nice compromise overall. Yea, it was the first "retro" console I bought when I got into gettin...

Re: Sega Saturn is still the best looking console

The Atari Jaguar is the best looking console. Proof is that it is the only console shell to be reused for another purpose. https://external-preview.redd.it/5lD3JHNpE1PhoTxoQYrpC_eue-cN-bG080VY40kX5_8.jpg?auto=webp&s=23d4cf881566e143ef277fba4fe422e9bbd8f484 /thread haha! What is that on the left?

Re: Power Supplies

I highly recommend those duo/trio power adapters for Sega consoles. It's basically one power brick for the Genesis/Mega Drive, 32x, and Sega CD. It's $60 bucks, but future proofs your Genesis setup in case you expand with a 32x and CD. And it's nice to save on power brick space. There was no room fo...

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

Went to an outlet mall with my GF that was about 30 miles away. There was a Game XChange nearby, so we stopped by. I got a: Genesis Model 2 VA4 Revision for $30 - This is a pretty rare revision that supposedly outputs the best composite video and audio for a Model 2. - Original Power brick and origi...

Re: World of Warcraft Classic

Thanks! I always remember the Stormwind Vault entrance and always wanted to go inside a a newbie. I would love to see that. Like you said, I don't think it will be a bad idea. Especially since some of the old devs are back. I'm sure they would love to finish what they started. And they don't have to...

Re: World of Warcraft Classic

Less than a week to go! Some WoW Classic devs just did an AMA on Reddit. Here is a consolidated list of questions and answers m One thing that was asked that I wished they could have touched on was the possibility of more Classic content after the 6 release phases are done. There were plans for man...
