Hows the snes version? I'll probably just go XBLA, but if the snes port isn't bad I may go that route

I dunno about in the US, but the PAL SNES port costs an absolute bomb. The few on eBay at the minute are buy it now for £100.




I'm surprised how few people have played Command and Conquer before. It's one of the defining RTS games imo.

I'm still debating between certain ports of some games.

THPS2 - Dreamcast or PS1. N64 has less stuff, so thats out, but I can't decide whether I want the improved graphics of the dreamcast or the nicer controller of the PS1.

Command & Conquer - Not sure whether to go for N64, because I like the graphic style more, or one of the PS1 or Saturn because it has the full FMV. N64 and PS1 have some extra missions too, but the saturn controller seems better, as more buttons are helpful in RTS games. Plus, saturn seems to be cheapest, but only marginally.

Ys - I'll probably get it on VC because of expense, but I'm still going to look out for the Master System game and go for it if I see it fairly cheap.

Maniac Mansion - I'm hoping to get it on Amiga or C64 (so that I finally have a decent game for them!) but if not, I have Day of the Tentacle ready to go.

Crush Pinball - If anyone is selling Alien Crush or Devil's Crush, please tell me! I want more turbografc games. I would prefer if they were in their case though, although the box isn't important.

Panel de Pon - I want Pokemon Puzzle Challenge most, but all the versions look worthwhile. I might decide what to choose based on what everyone else goes for so we can compare high scores.

Oh, yes, I know. It's just that I don't like it. Like, at all. I may have some criticism to offer but most of my distate is simply personal.

Not that it matters much, I don't like SMB3 either even tough it really seems the superior game compared to SMB1. I'm weird like that =p

wiki says that 94 is on VC and PSN -- I'd imagine those would include online?

If you can see the future while remembering the past, you may just have control of the present.
