New Genesis
« on: August 24, 2006, 09:01:04 AM »
I recently bought a bunch of games for my Genesis only to discover it doesn\'t work. I got it at a garage sale a while back.
 
So just now I bought another one on ebay. It came with 6 games so now my limited Genesis collection includes such classics as Ariel: The Little Mermaid, The Great Waldo Search, and ShaqFu!
 
On the bright side, I desperately want to play ShaqFu, and I also own a couple winners including Sonic and Ecco the Dolphin.
 
K, story time over

Every year or two I get all nostalgic and pull out one or two of my old consoles.  Whether genesis, SMS, dreamcast, NES, TG16 or whatever, it\'s really fun to play those classics I remember so fondly for a week or so.  

I\'ve noticed too, that despite the crap graphics, those \'classics\' never really get old, something today\'s developers forgot long ago.

It\'s true. Even old epics like Zelda:LTTP are only 15 hours, and that\'s taking your time.

I got stuck in that shortly into the dark world and never finished it. :(

Well, if you own the cartridge, just put it away and download the ROM...

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Me, I don\'t game on my PC. It crashes enough as it is without getting more junk on it. I still have my SNES hooked up, I could just go play it again if I was that into it....

We have an SNES hooked up to our TV at my house on campus.  Every once in a while a game of mario kart will break out.  Other than that, nobody really plays video games.  Its quite sad really.

I suppose they have better things to do than play videogames.
