And where the fuck am I gonna get a 3DO?  Don't think I've ever seen one in person.

Although Cool Stuff does have 3DO games in their cases...

[Spark Of Spirit]

The 3DO has a few good games and ports, much like the 32x, but I really don't have much interest in seeking them out. 

But I resolved myself to getting all the Sega systems one day. Even the weirder ones.

I think I've said it before, but one of the local shops here has a Nomad.  I've thought about it, but I don't know if I'd get much use out of it.  They also have the TV tuner to the Game Gear, which would also be a cool little novelty, except you can't pick up any TV station worth a damn anymore since everything is all digital now.

I think they have Master Systems, not sure though.  They do have a bunch of Master System games, which is why I think they also have the systems as well.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Yeah, I almost got a Master System once, I think I mentioned. I still want to get one if only for games like Shinobi, Psycho Fox, and other games I've never gotten around to playing.

I've been wanting to re-buy a Sega Genesis one of these days. If my brother and I had taken proper care of our consoles back in the day, we'd still have out Sega Genesis, SNES, and Dreamcast handy. Unfortunately, the only console that survived from my youth is the N64 (and its a great console, but I sorely miss my other consoles). If my brother and I had kept our PS1 it would probably be in good enough condition to play on, but that one we actually traded in when my brother was saving up for an XBOX.

Also, the store has a couple Genesis 3's.  I had never seen those before either, they are so small, like a third of my model 1 Genesis.

And I've seen top-loader NES's and SNES 2's at this place before as well on a semi-regular basis.

I went back and picked up Road Rash 64, it was only ten bucks so I don't feel too bad.  Also got all three Turoks for 5 a piece, and both Oracles at 15 each.

Final boss in Mega Man 3, no health or lives left, final hit, Wily's robot explodes.

The system freezes.

Didn't you play Rocket Knight Adventures a few months ago? If so, what'd you play it on?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

An emulator.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I got Metal Slug 3 and OutRun 2 for the XBOX today, and Ape Escape 3 all for $15. I've never played any of the Ape Escape games after the first, but I was willing to bite for the deal.

Also, EA really made a ton of sports games last gen. NFL Street, and tons of other games with similar titles filled the shelves. No NBA Street, tho.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Here is a video list of the top 10 best obscure SNES games. I've heard of some of these games before, like Hagane and Wild Guns. I've always wanted to try out Wild Guns, myself.

BTW, I have interest in buying a Saturn, is there any games for it though that I should look out for?

Going solely by critical reception:

NIGHTS into Dreams

the Panzer Dragoon Trilogy

Saturn Bomberman

I want Saturn Bomberman so badly.

I restarted Super Metroid yesterday because I got stuck in Norfair like 2 years ago. I ended up beating that whole area in less than half an hour after I restarted.

I feel like erasing my old file was pointless now but at least I can enjoy this game again.

Was playing Return Of The Double Dragon for the last two weeks. I got to really appreciate:

-How attacking enemies behind and in front of you isn't two hard.
-The counterattacks
-No time limits
-Weapons never disappear from dropping them. You can kick while using any of them.
-The kicking special attacks.
