So ummm...what games do you have for it?

I'll dig through the box tomorrow.

Anybody else ever have a Sega Mega-CD? I had the earliest version that the Megadrive slotted on top of, like this:

I also had an Amstrad GX4000.

If I remember, we had it for a REALLY brief time but my mom sent it back to my dad who was in Italy on duty at the time

It was crap. Only decent game was Final Fight (second one, if I remember correctly). Other games we bought had incredible graphics for the time but weren't really games at all. One was a helicopter shooter type game where you were prompted to go left, up, shoot or whatever.

fixed it

I've been wanting to play Chrono Trigger on the SNES for some time now but it's pretty expensive. I might just get the DS port of it instead because I found out you can't save

They really need to bring it to the Wii Virtual Console or whatever and XBOX Live. And whatever the PS3 counterpart is.

I mean damn, the Wii has like 3 Final Fantasy's available and the PS3 has a couple itself. Why not Chrono Trigger?

Because Nintendo/Square would rather have you pay 30 bucks for the DS port than 8 bucks for emulated one on VC.

Perhaps, by why make some of the Final Fantasy titles available on VC when they are on the DS?

Completely different products now. The DS Final Fantasy games are remakes with upgraded 3D graphics.

They look similar to the Kingdom Hearts games in a way

So...that box.

No I'm kidding. Unless you aren't, in which case I am completely serious.

Did ANYONE even have a 3DO. I was really young when they came out but I clearly remember reading about them in Electronic Gaming Monthly and Gamepro (along with the Atari Jaguar)

never had one, probably because those damn things were like 700 dollars when they came out. Read a lot about them though.

Jaguar never appealed to me. For what it claimed to be, it almost looked like a step backward.

Yeah, I heard the Jaguar was nothing to call home about. EGM barely dedicated a page to it back then

the Neo Geo Pocket

this was WAY better than the Game Boy Advance and I think it came out a year or 2 before. My cousin had one and I remember us wasting away while playing King of Fighters

I remember 3DO having a lot of softcore porn looking games at the video rental store.

that's probably it and other rare systems that didn't come here did well in Japan. They released alot dating sims and porn games over there

I may have to get this

Looks like I'm buying this instead

Nice

It came on Wednesday. It works great, although the audio for the SNES part is pretty quiet

Whoa! I don't think I heard of that

I got that Retron 3 system about a month ago.......and it's AWESOME!

It's really light but that's expected because it's more firmware than hardware

one problem: the sound on the Super Nintendo port is horrible. It's insanely quiet

but the Sega port is cool and I haven't checked out the NES port yet as I don't have any games at the moment

4 stars out of 5

I think I want me one of those...

I was actually just playing this a moment ago.

I bought it for $35 and it came in 3 days

I just bought Sonic 3. It came in the mail today

Are the graphics on the Xbox set any different or enhanced?

Not that I've noticed. You just have to not mind playing with a "window inside a window" effect. I guess widescreen TVs weren't around back then so it has to be done.

i only saw the japanese version of the nes when i watched the AVGN video lol

Just downloaded a SNES emulator for my DroidX...it won't be the same but I'll be able to play any SNES game I can think of on the go.

Trying Chrono Trigger Right now
