Got a buddy that is selling some stuff.

I'm buying his Sega Saturn, and probably close to 400 games for all different systems...

One thing in general I didn't know he had was a Japanese Super Famicom. I want it but don't know what to offer. I was thinking like $40-$50

Let me know if any of you have one and how much you paid. Thanks

Well they said it was going to be released 1st quarter 2012 and well...we're already in February and yet, still no release date at all. I'm looking extremely forward to it and I really hope it doesn't get pushed back to 2nd quarter OR gets cancelled all together.

Hi, just picked up a sega game gear today at a car boot.

it came with the console and a game.

however i put some batteries into it, and it didnt load up, no sound nor the little red light came on, and these are new batteries. does anyone know any tips and guides on what might be wrong with it, and if i can fix it.

sorry if this is in the wrong section, any advice would be awesome.

regards, dan

So, now that I'm replaying good ol' DNF, and doing my first Youtube Walkthrough on it HERE, I realized that it is one of my favourite games of last year, maybe even the generation. I think it did exactly what it was supposed to do, be a Duke game. No fancy graphics, no big story, just Duke cracking jokes and blowing up aliens, isn't that what we wanted from DNF? I guess it's true, you truly had to be a Duke fan to enjoy this game.

Edit: Mulitplayer is pretty bad, but, that shouldn't be the deciding factor for the game, you know?

All Gen Gamers (and everyone else!):

I was listening to the excellent episode covering MagFest and wanted to take the time to plug The Midwest Gaming Classic, which is being held in Brookfield, Wisconsin (right outside Milwaukee) at the Brookfield Sheraton on March 24th and 25th, 2012.

The show has been running since 2001. It started out as a fest for Atari Jaguar fans but has since expanded to include just about everything retro and current gen.

Attendance last year topped 5,000 and continues to grow - we're hoping that this years show will be the best one yet.

Some highlights:
1.) Console and PC museums covering just about everything from 1970's consoles all the way through the 8, 16 and 32-bit generations. There are also a lot of rarer consoles on display like the NEC SuperGrafx, Super A'Can, FM Towns Marty and more. And all of them are free to play to fest-goers.

This year there will be a Castlevania display one day (covering MSX Vampire Killer all the way through PS3) and a Fighting games collection the other day

2.) Huge vending space with vendors selling everything from Japanese import games to arcade parts and more

3.) Arcade and Pinball museum - huge selection of pinball machines and classic arcade games, some available for purchase and all are free play

4.) Guest speakers and presentations by people from the video game industry and media

5.) Much more!

If you make the trip out here to the Midwest to attend, I guarantee you won't be disappointed! It's a fun weekend and a great way to meet fellow gamers.

Take care guys, and keep up the great work on the show!

I have a huge loose cartridge collection. (mainly snes,nes and genesis)
How should I store them to maintain optimum shape?

Believe it or not, until a few months ago, I had never played a Final Fantasy game. I picked up the PSP versions of the original Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II either last year or the year before, but only played about 20 minutes of Final Fantasy before losing interest. So, I decided to put an end to this nonsense and get this series under my belt. I started a new game yesterday (naming my characters after Twitter friends (two of which are Andsy (RIP, Mr. Epic) and our own browland1)) and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I dunno what happened last year: perhaps I just wasn't in the right mindset for it, or I was just completely lost.

I've decided that this month I'm going to work through as many of the main series titles as I can. At the moment I own:

Final Fantasy (PSP)
Final Fantasy II (PSP)
Final Fantasy III (DS)

I also just ordered Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection for the PSP. I'm assuming after IV I'll move onto the Game Boy Advance version of Final Fantasy V, since I've read that it's supposed to be superior to the Anthology version for the original PlayStation. True? Same for VI? Besides the confusingly horrid amounts of remakes, I've read that the series is plagued by misnumbering and whatnot, though I'm assuming that just applies to the original releases and not the remakes. Please, oh, please tell me this is true.

I'm a Final Fantasy noob, so I really need advice on V and VI. I know they're available via the Virtual Console and PSN and whatnot, but I really prefer physical copies. I think I can figure everything out on my own when I get to VII xD

Any help would be much appreciated, and I'll keep you updated on my progress!

This is also having the wonderful side effect of finally giving my PSP some much needed love!

My current Final Fantasy team (posting mainly to show off the names ;P):

i made this game recently and i'm looking for any opinions or criticisms. its a concept for an iphone game. its a urban themed rpg, most rpg's are sci-fi or medieval themed so i felt this is something new.

heres some screens, i did all the art, programming, and design




its osx only right now, the windows version is really buggy

there IS one glitch i cant fix right now with the sound. after a few minutes the sound will turn to static, i dont know why.

give it a few seconds to load, it needs a gig of ram
OSX download:

We all know about Gamestop's powerup rewards system. Buy games, get points. Spend those points on rewards. Recently they started adding old games(most were NES cartridge only). Sounds like a cool idea, right? It is, too bad they screwed up. Most games they have are fairly common and ridiculously overpriced. I'm not sure how many points equal a dollar, but 43,250 for Super Mario Bros on NES is WAY to much. I just though the whole thing was funny and wanted to share it with you guys.
