Following up on my feature of the Games That Defined The Dreamcast, I wanted to cover the list of the best Sega Saturn games that gave Sega’s 32-bit console its character. The while the Saturn may have failed commercially in comparison to the Sony Playstation, it had a very solid game selection including some very […]
Known as one of the Holy Grails of console game collecting and one of the greatest 2D shooters of all time, Radiant Silvergun does not need an introduction for those schooled in old-school cult-classic gaming. But for those that have begun to search for the greatest games that never made it to the United States […]
The Dreamcast is truly an amazing machine that was ahead of its time. One amazing capability that Sega’s little white box was able to pull off surprisingly well was emulate original Playstation games. Now don’t get your hopes up too much — while some games run quite well, the number of Playstation games that are […]
The Guilty Gear series has made great strides over the last few years to compete against the best from Capcom and SNK’s 2D fighter offerings. I was fairly excited when portable versions of Guilty Gear were announced for both the PSP and Nintendo DS. However, I had a dirty feeling that both versions would be […]
I thought it would be fun to take a look back at my posts from a year ago to dig up some old thoughts and follow up on old news. Here are a handful of posts from June 2005… Living Room Arcade This was an interesting find. I link to a site that creatively compresses […]
Just recently on the forums, an interesting but common question was brought up… “If the Dreamcast’s GD-ROM format is about twice the size of a CD-ROM, how is it possible to play all these games using CD-R backups? Do most DC games not use the majority of the disc space? This has never made sense […]
I have to admit, there are a few things about the XBox 360 that really interested me (mainly the controllers, interface, and XBLA), but Microsoft just blew it in my mind. In a recent interview, Microsoft’s VP of Gaming, Peter Moore (also former Sega exec) said, “Nobody is concerned anymore about backwards compatibility. We under […]
Developed by fan-favorite, Treasure, Guardian Heroes is another late-blooming Saturn title that many people still haven’t discovered. Guardian Heroes is a beatemup with strong RPG elements. In this masterpiece, Treasure combined great 2D animation, a unique control scheme, and killer gameplay with the ability to level up and focus the skills that you choose. Graphics/Presentation: […]
There have been a nice handful of post-ES announcements concerning some classic gamings coming to modern consoles and handhelds. Capcom Multipack for the GBA The NES versions of Bionic Commando, Strider and Mighty Final Fight will be released as a 3-in-1 Gameboy Advance pack. Spectral vs. Generations for PSP This 2D fighter hasn’t really made […]
Even though there are many classic NES games that bring back fond memories, there actually aren’t a whole lot of NES titles that still hold up to decades of gaming innovations. Sunsoft’s Blaster Master, however, has enough innovation on its own that has not been sufficiently duplicated since, resulting in a unique NES game that […]
The buzz around the New Super Mario Bros for the Nintendo DS has been strong for quite some time, and according to apparent information from Japanese retailers, filtered by Game-Science, Nintendo’s DS title New Super Mario Bros, which debuted on May 25th in Japan, sold a over 480,000 copies on its very first day at […]
As one of the best games that defined the Dreamcast, Samba De Amigo is one of the premier rhythm games of all time. Unfortunately not that many people have actually played it. While I have greatly enjoyed this unique game, I have not been privileged enough to possess the full Samba De Amigo box set […]
As many of the Forum members are aware of, I have been selling Dreamcast VGA video cables (similar to a VGA Box). These cables take the place of a standard video cable like and Composite or S-Video cable and instead let you connect your Dreamcast to any VGA monitor or VGA-compatible video display/HDTV. With a […]
Some may call it one of the worst movies ever to be released on the big screen, but I actually didn’t mind this Nintendo-fanboy-flick when I was a kid. For those of you that aren’t familiar with it, The Wizard is a 1989 movie staring Fred Savage that as IMDB.com puts it, is about “a […]
Kevin from UUDDLRLRBAStart has been generous enough to share a technique that owners of a classic Nintendo Entertainment System may find handy in order to keep their aging console running in peak condition. Kevin writes, “Any old school NES players will tell you they remember having to sometimes blow in the end of their NES […]
