Sega probably does, but they haven't shared.

How do we expect to judge how well EA stuff did on the Genesis without numbers? The Wikipedia page doesn't list any EA games on the best-selling list, which can mean either none of them did (the games that *are* on there are all believable), or the numbers just suck.

Does anyone know why PS1 discs were black, or why PS2 CDs were blue? Did the colors do anything, or was Sony just spending extra money on coloring for no functional reason?

I actually hate that CD coloring. Makes it harder to see scratches and defects when I'm shopping for used games.

Maybe that's why they did it. I remember a big argument in the cartridge vs. CD debate back then was that CDs scratch and cartridges don't.

I think I'm going to start collecting dinosaur games. More specifically Jurassic Park themed ones.

That sounds like fun.

Be sure to start with Rampage Edition on Genesis. :mrgreen:

I've spent so much time playing the original on Genesis yet I've never even seen Rampage Edition. :(

Dude, that's heartbreaking. Its so damn fun.

The game is pure adrenaline to me. Very different from the deliberate pace of the original (which I also love, but not as much).
