G E N E S I S

This week I will celebrate the arrival of my first (purchased) Sega gaming system. (Glyph was kind enough to give me a Dreamcast once which I still own and love!) I recently purchased a Sega Genesis and several games. Yet ANOTHER console.

It’s a gen one console so I can eventaully buy the “Sega Power Adapter” and play Sega Master games as well.

Here are the games I’m getting with it:

  • After Burner II w/ display box
  • Altered Beast – preowned w/ display box
  • Columns III – preowned
  • Indiana Jones Instruments of Chaos w/ display box
  • Klax – preowned
  • Michael Jackson Moonwalker in box – preowned
  • Ms Pac-Man – preowned
  • Road Rash 3 – loose
  • Roadblasters – loose
  • Tecmo Super Bowl III Final box w/ manual – preowned
  • Virtua Racing

Opinions?

Nintendo Wii

Nintendo has ditched the marketing friendly name of their new gaming system “Revolution” for the new branding they call “Wii”. Pronounced “we”, this new system will probably spawn a whole new line of puns.

Wii don’t know what it means but wii assume it is something really cool in Japanese. The new system boasts a healthy 512 MB of internal flash memory. New gyroscopic wireless controllers, two USB2 ports and built-in Wi-Fi.

As mentioned when it was still the “Revolution”, “Wii” will include 20 years of retro titles originally released for N64, SNES, NES and will also carry Sega titles.

Retro Gaming Part II

As many of you know, last year I got married. For my bachelor party I had a fairly succesful bash where we played Retro Video games in my basement. Well, my collection has grown since then and I want to have another party. The date is yet to be decided but it would be on a Satuday from 4:00-Midnight and would include Pizza and Pop and/or another beverage of your choice.

The Systems that I will have:

  • Sega Genesis (and possibly some Master System games too)
  • Sega Dreamcast (Choo Choo Mouse!–Not exactly retro but the system is obsolete)
  • NES – 2 Systems! (90 Games some for Famicom)
  • Nintendo Game Cube
  • SNES (15-20 Games)
  • Playstation (All games available, ToshindinII Eat Chile!)
  • PS Two (retro games only)
  • Atari 2600
  • Atari PNP (joystick Plug N Play)
  • Namco PNP (Ms. Pac, Mappy, Galaga, Etc)
  • Atari Flashback 2.0 (with real feaux Atari joysticks!)
  • C64 PnP (30 Games!)
  • Apple IIc

I need some help picking out a date and let’s see if we can’t get a couple of loaner T.V.s Dialogue please!
