personally I'm not a big Panel de Pon fan, but I'm thinking I might pick up Ultimate Block Party for PSP which appears to be a bit of a clone.

FYI -- as far as Golden Axe Warrior goes, I cannot recommend enough that you guy Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection (PS3/360) as it's just such a big bang for the buck. I think I got my copy for $12, and I can't tell you how much play that single disc gets. Nevermind all the RPG's (Phantasy Star I-IV, Shining Force I & II) that will take you a long time to get through, but even all those arcadey games look fantastic in HD.

Also, you may be able to snag some of those other games you don't have in digital form -- I'm pretty sure Bomberman 94 is on Virtual Console (might be called Mega Bomberman instead). Gunstar Heroes may be on VC as well. I know Guardian Heroes is on XBLA if you have one of those.

Gunstar Heroes is on VC, and XBLA iirc. I'd imagine PSN too, but I don't know for sure. Bomberman '94 is on VC under the title Bomberman '94 (its the turbografx version).

Gunstar is indeed on PSN. That's the version I'll be playing.

Ok, it's official: I won't be playing January's game. I just don't have (and won't have) the money. I'm sure several of you can relate to that...

Which means I can play it after all. :)

Emulate it man. The ROM is easy to find and it's a good game.

We're doing BM64 instead of BM Hero? 64 was way too traditional, it doesn't stand out from the crowd. BMH put a new spin on the series.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

Will PAL Master System games work in a US Genesis with a Power Base Converter?
