The main difference now is really in the workflow. There weren't the kinds of dev tools there are now (i.e. Unreal Engine, Unity, etc), and most things had to be coded from scratch. Familiarity with the hardware was extremely important. Not to mention needing developers who could handle working with...

The classified website I use has a sega saturn with a few games for sale for $220 CAD. This potentially isn't a 'can't miss' deal, depending on what the games are. I would probably recommend passing on it, really (that is if it doesn't include Panzer Dragoon Saga, Magic Knight Rayearth, Dragon Forc...

Oh, snap! I just realized that the character embedded in the face of the clock graphic of the HUD actually changes depending on the game difficulty selected. They're drawn in a very 'Chinese' (for lack of a better descriptor) font, so I'm not sure what the one for Hardest is. I don't recognize it, a...

I believe a nice middle ground is that eBay should have an option where a seller will choose an auto-responder of denial for any offer that is "$X or less" that the seller will not even consider. Save seller time and frustration, and low ballers get their answer. This is what Ebay does. I...
