  1. For full (or at least nearly full) game lists for the Saturn and the PSX you should probably use http://www.gamefaqs.com.
  2. Pro Evolution soccer 2 (you know about how good that is already ) Ico Jak and Daxter Ratchett and Klank Klonoa 2 Kingdom Hearts Gitaroo-Man Tenchu 2 burnout 2 Onimusha 2 Maximo Gran turismo 3 The PS2 doesn't actually have that many great exclusives anymore but there are quite a few older titles definately worth having.
  3. In no particular order: Sega Nintendo Capcom
  4. Actually I did have a big huge list of my favourite DC games in this forum but then all the posts in the board got deleted and it was lost forever. T'was a sad day Anyway here are most of my favourites:- PAL games: Crazy Taxi Soul Calibur Rez Headhunter Rayman 2 Grandia 2 Skies of Arcadia Shenmue 1 & 2 Silver Samba Di Amigo Marvel Vs Capcom 2 Ferarri 355 Metropolis Street Racer Resident Evil: Code Veronica Resident Evil 2 Resident Evil Nemesis Guilty Gear X Virtua Tennis 1 & 2 House of the Dead 2 TYping of the Dead Bust a Move 4 tokyo Extreme Racer 2 Toy Commander MDK2 Mr Driller Looney tunes: Space race Ecco the Dolphin (mainly for the sounds and graphics because sometimes it is so damn confusing you want to smash things) Bangai-o Quake III Arena Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 Sonic Adventure 2 Jet Set Radio Record of Lodoss War Powerstone 1 & 2 Space Channel 5 18 Wheeler American trucker Streetfighter Alpha 3 Streetfighter third strike Ready 2 Rumble Boxing 1 & 2 Beserk: Guts Rage Re-volt Nomad Soul floigan Brothers Hidden & Dangerous Project justice Worms Armeggedon Railroad Tycoon 2 Imports:(no need for a modchip woohoo) Ikaragua Space Channel 5 part 2 Dead or Alive 2: LE Sakura Taisen 3 Zero Gunner 2 Seaman Dreamstud!o Cannon Spike Maken X Vampire Chronicle Capcom Vs Snk 2 Gigawing 2 Sega Marine Fishing Garou:Mark of the wolves Napple Tale Not to mention the great homebrew and emulation that is available too. Also Half Life is worth a download just to see it on the DC. In fact a lot of them you will need to download because not many places sell DC games anymore. Places in the uk that I know still sell a few DC games http://www.chipsworld.co.uk/ http://ukdreamcast.com/ http://www.amazon.co.uk Also there are loads of games on ebay. I got a few good imports on there too. Anyway it will be the best £24 you ever spent
  5. tsk tsk you guys Anyway you should all check out http://assembler.roarvgm.com/ If you haven't seen it before it has pics etc of all the illegal Asian variations on game consoles. Some of them are funny. There are also some legal ones like the gameboy sewing machine add-on
  6. I would also say phpbb because it is so easy to set up. You can have an up and running forum in about 5 minutes.
  7. I was going to start this thread too Anyway here is my top 10 and reasons why I picked them. I also can't really put them in any order because they are different genres. So it is just my 10 favourite games of all time. 1. Championship Manager: I have been playing this since the very beginning. It has no snazzy graphics, didn't have audio till the 2nd game (and even then it sucks and still does). This game is about taking something a putting it in perfect computer form. It's a game that has broken up marriages, relationships, lost people jobs, made people fail exams. It is THAT addictive! There is no more accurate representation of football management out there. It's so good that it can pick out transfers and stars of the future before the football world has even heard about them. If you don't like football then you will hate this game. If you do however love it like me then this is video gaming's equivalent to crack. 2. Half-Life: I bought half-life on the day of release after it got 95% or something in PC gamer. The intro is one of the best ever and sets things up so nicely and I enjoyed the game from start to finish (although the alien levels were a bit poopy). What makes this game so amazing is the ammount of mods that are available for it. It's easily the best value game I've ever owned. Natural Selection, Public Enemy, Counterstrike, Day of Defeat, Firearms, Specialists, Street Wars, Team Fortress, and so many more. Roll on HL2 and the mods 3. Tetris:- The definittive version being the one that came with the gameboy mono. Simply the best game ever IMO. I don't think I could ever get bored of Tetris as it's simply the perfect game. There have been a lot of new versions over the years but they all pretty much suck compared to the GB original. There are some cool homebrew variations for GBA like tetanus on drugs. 4. Doom I&II: The first time I played Doom I nearly wet myself. That wasn't the fear (that came later ) it was just that I was so blown away by the thing. Wolfenstein was good but man this was a whole different kettle of fish. Oh and I defy you to play Doom I/II in the dark on your own and not be scared 5. Mario Brothers 3: The only reason I am not going to beat up the head of Nintendo for another port is because it's a port of this game. Probably my favourite platform game ever. Mario 2 sucked so much so I expected this to be just as bad but oh boy it was goooooooood. I play this game whenever I lose my faith in modern games, just to remind me that I will always have amazing games to emulate. Mario 64 nearly made my list but Mario Brothers 3 is the better game. 6. Sam & Max: Lucasarts make crap star wars games now. There used to be a time when they were the kings of adventure. Sam & Max is easily the funniest game ever created. Never before had an adventure game made me laugh so much. Grim fandango is also up at the top but the twisted humor of Sam & Max just edges it out. 7. TIE Fighter: I love star wars. I'm not a huge star wars nerd though so I do think all the latest games have sucked and that the two prequels were really crap. This game still feels totally fresh today and makes you really feel part of the star wars universe. It also lets you play as a bad guy which is even better. Die Skywalker, DIE! 8. Streetfighter series: Ok Streetfighter 1 wasn't that good (apart from the arcade machine that you could beat the crap out of) but Streetfighter II was like a gaming orgasm to me. I love a bit of violence and this quenched my thirst nicely. It was also the first really excellent fighting game to come to all the home consoles (even the handhelds!). There have been plenty versions but Streetfighter II remains my favourite just because of it's significance. 9. Chrono Trigger: I am not the biggest fan of Japanese style RPGs but Chrono Trigger is an exception. It's just such a detailed and huge game with a great story and diverse characters. I'm pretty sure this would be in the top 2 places of everyones favourite RPGs. This is also a game that I played during a very tough time in my life. It's funny but being someone else in another world really helped me out. I think that is why a lot of people like RPGs. To combat teen depression Anyway, Square should port it to the GBA just for me 10: Zelda Series: Just more Nintendo Genius. My favourite game being links awakening on the Snes/GBA. Wind Waker is also good but I hate all the sailing crap. Actually I prefer all the 2d versions (Ages of seasons/oracles, four swords, zelda dx) to all the 3d versions. Honourable mentions go to Metroid Series, Sonic series, Sid Meiers Pirates!, Advance Wars, Grand Theft Auto series, Goldeneye, Sim City series, Halo, Resident Evil series, Crazy Taxi, Radiant Silvergun, Metal Slug series. I know I will probably have forgotten some games. It's a lot harder to think up a top 10 than I imagined it would be. Also I think my top 10 probably changes every week just due to the fact that I'm loving one genre one minute and loving another one the next.
  8. Yeah I think you are right. Just as well I have loads of them
  9. I change mine a lot I have a Dreamcast logo (so damn predictable) and also Sonic giving the middle finger. Most people have naked chicks on thiers from what I've seen http://www.atomicwarrior.com/logos/index.html - Good tutorials for this sort of thing.
  10. http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...oducts_id=2683&
  11. http://www.lik-sang.com/news.php?artc=2963 Dude I soooo want one of these!
  12. Freeloader lets you play NTSC-U and NTSC-J games on your PAL gamecube mate. I also bought Animal crossing too (great game if a little wierd) And you get freeloader with it so all is good . You might be able to get it somewhere else cheaper than lik-sang but I used them because they have been super reliable for me in the past with Dreamcast stuff.
  13. I got it on import from lik-sang and it came with freeloader. There isn't too much japanese but the menus take a while to understand. Edit: I forgot to say that there is a good FAQ on gamefaqs with menu translations and stuff on it. It's a big help. There are still no plans to release it in Europe though which kinda sucks as it's the best football game ever.
  14. I've just downloaded Planeshift. It's a free MMORPG and it's all 3D and the like. I've only played for 10 minutes and it was a little laggy but it has really nice graphics and It's free so worth a try. The client download is about 120Mb or so, so dialuppers might not want to bother.
  15. I wish they would show more basketball here in the UK. It's the only American sport that I think is worth watching. We used to get a highlights show on ITV on saturday lunchtimes but now we get nothing at all. It sucks!
  16. Actually I think the list is pretty good considering. I mean they aren't just measuring graphics or gameplay, they are taking into account the impact of a game. The problem with creating a top 100 games list is that not everyone will agree with your choices. We should all make our own and see what we come up with (or maybe top 10 since 100 is a bit much )
  17. A heck of a lot. I have over 100 original Dreamcast games, some of them rare. all of that plus my consoles probably cost me around £4000 (yes my name and my sig I drew don't lie ) I have a Gamecube with 10 games which has set me back about £500 GBA plus flashcart plus 20 or so games another £500 Xbox plus 20+ games £800 Sega Nomad + Megadrive plus 80 games £600-700 maybe Gameboy Mono & Gameboy Color plus 48 games £1200 PC games (not including the PC) around £2000 Game Gear plus ~50 games £700 Sega Saturn + 15 games £400 Nintendo 64 + 30 games £500 SNES + 30 or so games £450 Wonderswan + 5 games £80 Amiga 500+ with over 600 games £200 yeah I pirated most of them Playstation with 30 or so originals £500 So I add up all those approximations and I get around £13500 which is $20000 or so. I probably missed stuff out too. When I look at it like that it does seem A LOT but you know what? It was all totally worth it
  18. What would you play the games on? Mini DVDRs & DVDRWs? Edit: nevermind, I just read the article d'oh
  19. It's cool to see the bios working but I agree with emsley. I doubt we will be seeing commercial games running anytime soon.
  20. I'm guessing he doesn't want to release it until it all runs at a really respectable speed. I mean he could never release it if he felt that way so I don't mind waiting a while
  21. I bought him a DVD player and a couple of DVDs and a LOT of VCDs. It is my mission to drag him into the 21st century.
  22. Generally I don't play any online games with strangers either. There are just too many idiots on servers to make it worth my while. This is also the reason I HATE Xbox live. Not only is it people you don't know, you have to listen to some dumbass' voice too. This was my first Xbox live experience Me: "hey everyone, I'm new to unreal on the Xbox so you have to forgive me If I'm really crappy" MR_l3333333333tman: "Great a newb f*g man, why the hell dont you go play j00 gaystation 2" Me: "Because I own an Xbox, which is why I'm on Xbox live mate" MR_l3333333tman: "mate is gay. You are a f*g. Your character looks like a f*g. You suck you newb f****r" Some other guy: "Uh shut up and play the game" MR_l33333333tman:"shut up and suck my a**" Some other guy: "How do you actually suck an a**" MR_l33333333tman: "f*gs. I slept with your mommas and you all have small weiners" Me: "Uh Bye" Xbox live rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They need to get some sort of banning system going or at least tell the little kids parents. I mean there is no way he was old enough to have a credit card anyway. I'm all for a few insults and some friendly banter but that kind of thing shouldn't be allowed. Thankfully it's my friends account. I have a modchip and couldn't care less about LIVE Rant over.
  23. Dude you look so hot! I wish I could grow such stylish and sexy facial hair lol If I used aol I would ask you your a/s/l right now. Moustachilicious Anyway, I used to use hair gel but I stopped because my last gf didn't like it. Now I keep my hair really short anyway so I have no need for it.
  24. I've come across a lot of mods like that. Especially in forums about computers and emulation strangely enough For some of them it's the only way they can get thier little power trip. Thankfully all the mods here are great (except me you little punks. Disagree with my opinion and I will ban you and put pictures of Richard Simmons in your avatar!!! )
  25. I know it's Capcoms doing. What I meant is Nintendo have done something similar on the Gameboy Advance with some mediocre ports of mediocre games. This capcom thing is definately worse though.
