Yet I do think Thenewguy does have a point. The inclusion of re-releases and collector´s edition as seperately counted games does make that list useless for the purpose...

You are of course correct. When I wrote that part I was talking more of being a PAL gamer overall, and not specifically the Mega Drive´s situation.

The Mega Drive most likely does not have more...

Indeed, these letters were awesome.

It´s especially awesome how sheath asked about his share of the profits in the second letter.^^

Also of note is that while he typed his letters, what he got...

You´ve gotta wait for auctios, not BIN. I´ve seen several end in that price range.
I also visit German forums, there are sometimes PAR 2 for sale from members, and they never ask too much either....

There is a nice article by a guy who worked for the Sega hotline. It´s been online for years, a good read!

Well, he said:



So he is obviously from PAL territory. And around here, PAR 2 is more common than Game Genie. And it should not cost 50 $, but more like 15 - 25 including box, manua and...

First of all thanks for the extensive explanation. Too much detail for me to understand it all, but you know your stuff.



While that is completely off-topic, I don´t believe there is a large...

I agree; do not get a Game Genie, but an Action Replay Pro 2. Basically, the Action Replay series is like the successor of Game Genie, Game Genie became outdated when Action Replay came. And the AR...

What a strange topic.

Well, what I have to say:
First, PAL is not bad. Nothing wrong with the standard. Actually it was developed as kind of a successor to NTSC with improed color display (less...

20 - 30 hours really is unimagineable with the original GameBoy. Really anything between 10 and 15 hours is what it could do depending on the batteries. There may be differences regarding how you use...

Favorite 1st Gen Console?
None

Favorite 2nd Gen Console?
Atari 2600

Favorite 3rd Gen Console?
Tie between SMS and NES

Favorite 4th Gen Console?

I don´t mean to focus solely on the games, but I do think the games available are a big part of a system´s identity. A small overview should have been done for each, like what genres are available,...

Now I am gonna be the asshole and not join in into the praise this time.;)
I must say that this is my least favourite of the Game Sack videos so far.
For one, I am not a huge fan of handhelds to...

No, no, no... he makes it very clear he is not. He´s a "high-functioning autist" he claims. That does not mean one is dumb. autists can be highly intelligent.

His idiocy is just plain idiocy as...

lol, maybe you should bother reading the posts before you...

That´s a classic. Just like when his daddy came to see Chris Chan jerking off to a chat. :)

This is not the first time you mention writing a letter to a publisher... did you do that often?
And did they usually reply, or were you ignored most of the time?

Interesting about Dark Castle is...

No, Treasure isn´t nearly as good or influental in gaming as Pixar was in its field in their prime.

As for Mr Jobs: Sorry to hear it. I am no Apple costumer, but of course I see the great...

Um... man, you always postin a way that akes it hard to understand what you mean.

Do you mean "Could somebody do such a game as a homebrew?" ? In that case I guess someone could, if it wasn´t so...

Yes, Fun´n Games has an Art-program too. And I think that it is even the closest to an answer to Mario Paint as it has a music tool too.
It´s also mouse compatible unlike Art Alive.

Beside that...

I do like modern consoles. Some great stuff available on them.
Only thing I don´t like (and understand) is the incredible popularity of military shooters like Battlefield and COD. Never cared for...

Hehe, you´re more of an SNES fan than a Genny fan it seems. :)

My vote goes to the Genesis. Granted, the SNES has a fair share of great platformers as well, but the Genesis games are the ones I...

Looking to Japan, I can tell you: They did NOT release everything.^^
Seriously though, many SNES RPGs and action-RPGs are also not exactly competition to Chrono Trigger. Look at the first Breath of...

Thanks again! Man, that´s a LOT!
But thankfully there is still some nice ones missing that I can try to do.^^

I´d make the following comparison.

Street Fighter II, and the majority of later SF games are equal to the Mario series in the jump´n run genre. the nonplusultra.

Mortal Kombat would probably...
