Does anyone dare challenge my Imperial Fleet?

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?

Other games on the Nintendo Revolution?

Just saw this very, very short blog entry that says that Sega Genesis and TurboGrafx games will be available on the Nintendo Revolution. I imagine this is part of the earlier news about old NES, SNES, and other Nintendo games being available for download. I imagine we’ll be hearing more soon.

Update: The old entry has gone missing, but he mentions it here as well.

c64 PnP (DTV) Joystick with Free Domain Name

More good deals at buy.com it seems. Here is a Commodore 64 plug and play joystick featuring 30 authentic C64 games from buy.com for a mere $24.98. In fact, they’re not just authentic. It contains a REAL C64 rom in it!

C64 PNP

So it’s an OK price–I’ve seen the cheaper in town from time to time. However! the hitch here is that you also get a free GoDaddy.com domain name ($10 value) when you purchase it. I’m sure there are other deals that include this at buy.com right now–but the real reason that this one is so cool is that this thing is hackable. There are several sites with instructions on how to split this puppy open and add peripherals to make it effectively a fully functional C64!

Good Deal on Arcade Style Stick for PS2

Awhile back, Cloudscout bought some of these on woot.com at a reduced price. He gave one to me as a gift. They’re great if you have a PS One or PS2 laying around. At less than $50 this is a very good buy. Only 4 left.

Check them out at buy.com.

Arcade Style Stick

They have solid construction and authentic arcade sticks and buttons. You can remove the T-Molding on these and totally customize the template underneath. If you want to label your buttons so you know which one is the X, [ ], O or /\ buttons on the PS2 joystick this can be handy. I’ve found that it’s excellent for most retro games in my collection and that kids like it even more. My neice and nephew had a blast playing Finding Nemo on the PS2. By the way, Finding Nemo as a game for kids is great–but I don’t enjoy it myself.

***Links to USB converters for PS2 Controllers:***

You should buy at least two converters or one with multiple ports. The controller pictured above is actually two PS2 Controllers in one.
