Thanks for the news, you made my f'n day! jEnesisDS gets ported AND I get a Neo-Geo Pocket Color emulator to play SNK Vs. Capcom: Cardfighters Clash?! F'n amazing.

The best 3D game of Sonic was Sonic R -- and it's (basically) a "kart" racer (but most characters run). It also only has five tracks. I'm not saying it's not a very awesome game, because it is. It's one of my favorite video games -- it just pales in comparison to other kart racers in the tracks area. You need a lot of tracks or the game will get boring faster. It does have interesting modes of play (including a tag team game) and characters (Super Sonic, Metal Sonic, Dr. Robotnik, etc.) and emerald collecting. It's more enjoyable and replay-able than Sonic Adventure (and beyond) to me. Sounded like a persuasive essay or something.

I wanted to see Roger Waters play live (even if over a TV), but I missed it and watched on YouTube later...

My parents had one of those before I existed. That'd be an interesting family heirloom if they had still had it, for a geek anyway.

I'm one of the few people on the Internet that I know that hates Flash movies, games, etc. and all those web sites (like Newgrounds). I just can't enjoy them... they feel cheap or dumb or something automatically.

Make sure not to post any of your precious findings here.

Sounds more like maybe he sold you defective hardware and maybe it blew some stuff.

They had viruses on those bad boys? Man, you really do learn something new every day... especially on the wild world of the intarnetz.

Well, if I include past consoles that I've previously owned and lost/sold/broke/etc., I'd also have... - Atari 2600 - Atari 2600 Jr. - Neo-Geo Pocket Color - Nintendo 64 - Sega Game Gear - Sega Genesis + CD + 32X - Sega Master System - Sony PlayStation 2 - Super Nintendo Entertainment System forgot... - Nintendo GameBoy (original, red) - Nintendo GameBoy Color (yellow)

Well, let's see how good Sonic Rush Adventure turns out to be... ...this is me not getting my hopes up, as usual. Disappoint me again, Sega -- go for it.

Keep popular games out, please.

Understatement of the day!

Joystiq reports that Microsoft is going to cut the Xbox 360's price. This console war is heating up more and more each day. From the original article... I'm torn -- I have neither!

I've yet to try out Cave Story -- it's been recommended to me countless times. When the gets finished, I will most certainly give it a try. Yes, this thread is going to be awesome. I'll try to keep it in-line if things start running astray. Let the awesomeness/recommending commence!

Yes, they did -- link. I'm pretty sure it includes an option spin dash hack, as well.

In this thread, you're going to post obscure video games (like the MAME thread, but all platforms -- including PC) that you recommend to other people that they otherwise, probably, wouldn't know about. PLEASE, KEEP POPULAR GAMES OUT OF THIS TOPIC. My personal favorite that I recommend to everyone is Zillion for the Sega Master System.

1. Sonic 3D Blast -- Lame concept for a game in the 16-bit era... and an even worse game to bring into the 32-bit world. Run around, find 5 birds, bring back to giant ring... repeat until eyes bleed. 2. Sonic Adventure -- Great game, but not really a "Sonic game" other than the characters, rings, and token island/casino/etc. areas. 3. Sonic Adventure 2 -- Let's make another one those 3D games and introduce new characters to attempt to see how much more we can milk this dying franchise. 4. Sonic Advance (series) -- Let's take the original Sonic game concept... throw in a ridiculous amount of characters, screw up the gameplay, and hope people buy it. 5. Sonic Rush -- Same as above. 6. Sonic Riders -- Let's make a ridiculously difficult racer and throw in a bunch of random ass characters and hope people buy it again. 7. Sonic Heroes -- Lost Vikings in 3D with Sonic characters... let's hope people buy it again. You see where I'm going with this?

That's exactly why they keep making Sonic related games, Davis -- because people will buy it because he's on the damn box. Not because it's a REAL Sonic game -- the Sonic games we know... not these atrocities.

Quoting this for truthiness. I don't mean to say that Sonic Adventure and beyond are absolutely horrible games or anything to that effect... but they ARE desecrating, what we thought was, the untouchable Sonic video game lineage. That's like all the sudden coming out with a 3D Metal Slug that's nothing like the old games (or it completely sucks, whatever)... it would mortify the SNK Playmore world. You know you're a real Sega/Sonic fan if you're offended by the current state of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I know I am (both).

DragonKeeper, they started the trashing with Sonic 3D Blast. It was a horrible game and they even ported it to the Sega Saturn. Our next slap in the face was making Sonic R such a short game (it could've been one of the greatest racers). The final blow before they started hauling everything to the landfill, was scrapping Sonic Xtreme... and it's all downhill from there and its lifeless corpse is beaten to this day.

Saturating the forums with inane threads is awesome. You'd have better luck with a "What're your favorite games ever?" thread... but I'm sure there are already threads like that you can revive.

Erm.. i only have beta and i guess i have alpha version somewhere on my PC, really i don't like old school games so i don't have so much old - school sonic games.Sorry.But i will search. How are you going to call yourself a Sonic fan and you "don't really like" the 2D aeon of the Sonic world? The modern Sonic is an abomination of his once great self... it's absolutely sickening. The thread was already over when you said that.

Sure, I'll go along with post-whatever-ridiculous-topic-I-can-think-of guy. Sega Dreamcast Nintendo DS (Onyx Black Lite) Nintendo Entertainment System (Original) PC (1.9GHz/1GB RAM/128MB VRAM) Sega Saturn (Model 2) Sony PlayStation (Original) I don't think people need pictures of things they've seen 10,000+ times.

Yeah, it's not impressive at all. Redesigns have always seemed like a "we still give a damn about our web site" kind of thing to me (which is great) -- which is why it's cool, though.
