Nope! Proudly were your Sonic the Hedgehog shirt to the gym with your head held high!
I think gaming in general really peaked with the Dreamcast. That is not to say that it's all bad today but I think it hasn't gotten any better since.
Peaked in 1997 when Castlevania: Symphony of the Night came out.
As for other retro consoles I own...well, I do own a Sega Nomad, Sony Playstation 1, Sega Saturn, and Nitnendo 64 but my collection for all are all pretty meager. I do have a few gems for the PS1 like many Working Designs games(LOVE WORKING DESIGNS), and some rare shoot em ups but it pales in comparison to my Dreamcast collection.
You have just said the two magic words. Your previous arrogance is now forgiven (by me)! Since you also have a Saturn, that gets you a few more points. You'll, of course, need to get a 2600, NES, SNES, Master System, actual Genesis (although the Nomad is cool), Sega CD (
Working Designs!!! Lunar!!!), Turbografx-16 w/ Super CD OR PC Engine w/Super CD (
Working Designs!!!), and Neo Geo of some sort.
There are actually some members here with all (or nearly all) of the Working Designs collections, believe it or not. One of them sold some of his stuff to get more into arcade gaming, but I think he still has all of his Working Designs stuff.
I want to get that new Genesis RPG Pier Solar but I heard it's for the CD and I only have a Nomad. I want it so badly I'll buy a Sega CDX for it just as soon as I have the money.
Pier Solar is a cart game. The CD just enhances the soundtrack. You don't need a Sega CD at all to enjoy it! I have an original release copy, but I really can't sell it. I've only opened it once to test it. I'd kind of like another, a re-release version, to play on. Unfortunately, the only way to get a copy now is by searching the internet. Every now and then, a copy turns up on this site... but you aren't the only one here looking for a copy. Other sites like digitpress and Sega-16 sometimes have copies turn up in their B/S/T forums. Unfortunately, they are not cheap.
I had a Sega-CD back in the day and I LOVED Lunar and Lunar 2:Eternal Blue and Pier Solar looks a lot like those games!
You aren't the only one to love Lunar! I had the Sega CD games back in the day also, and they are still among my favourite RPGs. To be honest, part of the reason I haven't gotten into Pier Solar yet is because I'm just too busy now with life.
...and, just to be a bastard and tease you... this is mine (and will work just fine on a Nomad without the CD):
However, I do not own a legit version of Border Down.
