This thread and Super Metroid proves nothing. And the linked article is baseless. Gamers weren't "on their own back then"... gamers made progress by discussing strategies with school mates, by...

It's a pirate cart I purchased on ebay after seeing only the face of the label. I'd hoped it was at least a sprite hack. Disappointingly, it's only a pirate of Atomic Robo Kid, with R-2 and C3PO on...

Well there is this game

Tengen Marble Madness, regarded as a top-notch port, supports upside-down mouse for trackball control, seems pretty uncommon

Drill Dozer

oh yeah, Shining Soul II, fantastic game, such a shame it's so unlikely I'd ever get to play it with 3 other people

Another must play/own is Mario vs Donkey Kong

I did want to beat it straight through, but after spinning my wheels on a couple stages I decided to use warps and get it over with.... except, yes, you do get penalized. Marvel Land is truly...

Ninja Five O is a great game. I grew tired of it though, and I can honestly say the original GG Shinobi is just as, if not more, enjoyable.

Advance Guardian Heroes. my vote for most underappreciated game ever. People were/are hyper critical of it because it didnt meet their expectations. I've played 90+% of the commonly named top GBA...

Marvel Land made me its bitch, but I persevered and ran off with the princess.

Switching to a d-pad controller (from my rickety old Jpn Arcade Power Stick) with auto fire support, I had to...

Marvel Land is brutal.
I've got it mostly figured out, but just cant put it together in one run.
4-4 ate up close to 30 extra lives in one run tonight.
I can get to the final boss with 1 credit,...

Huh, if you sell on ebay you have an invoice due every month. Yes, ebay kind of hides it. If you don't check it, that's on you. Twice I've discovered instances where I wasn't properly credited for...

Just one example: game accessories are a different fee rate than actual games.
And eBay has been changing their fees, policies, and promotions more than a few times a year, so it makes it quite...

A person needs a college course in eBay to fully follow their fee structure.

I don't think most people realize this, or see it in hard numbers: between eBay and Paypal combined, they are taking ~15% of your selling price.

Iron Lizard's 10% estimate above is inaccurately...

Yes, in the interest of experiencing videogames as they were generally designed to be played, yes I want to have the opportunity to play with the original interface.
Do I prefer to play with the...

The Sega 8-bit line of consoles is the most interesting of all to collect for.
There's no way you can emulate the experience of playing a Master System on your Dreamcast. You might figure out why...

I would love a full repro of Dynamite Headdy and some of the other Brazilian exclusives.

What's the story on converting Game Gear games to be played on the Master System?
I know some have been...

I keep saying it, the Sega 8-bit consoles are some of the most convoluted and varied from region to region.
The games and hardware (accessories) released varies significantly between Europe, North...

Wow? really?
Thanks for that insightful critique.

I quite enjoy "Breakout" style ball and paddle games. The neat trampoline mechanic of Megumi Rescue and saving people from a burning building is...

Megumi Rescue might be my favorite game for Sega 8-bit
Aicom also did a similar game on Famicom called Flying Hero, but of course without paddle controller support it isn't nearly as awesomely fun.

just fyi, though doesn't help the issue of making an adapter from scratch

The Hori Fighting Stick Dual has a split cord with both Genesis and SNES plugs. The package also comes with an adapter for...

No one is disputing that there are some severe pain in the ass sections for first time players of Landstalker. Though as should be clear here, I contend that it is very few instances where a leap of...

There are no personal insult here. I am questioning or criticizing your ability to play this particular game. I'm glad you love it. It is a fantastic and finely crafted work of art; albeit lacking...

Like I said initially, then you're doing it wrong. On all but a very few platform sections, I can easily see and interpret visual cues to determine the height and position of platforms. I've told the...
