    6. Atari Jaguar

      Atari's last game console, the Atari Jaguar represented a huge leap in technology from previous offerings. Featuring a 64-bit architecture, the Jaguar had great potential, but its power was difficult to tap. Even then, many great games were released and the Jaguar has an avid fan base today.

      Intellivision Day 2024 is Coming (Request for Partners and Players) (May Reminder)

      By Zendocon · Posted

      If by then, there's a way to play the same instance of a game online together, I'd love to organize a FUBAR tournament.  Otherwise, I could whip up another simple single-player game like Pensate that would be good for people to play together to compare scores.  DILLIGAS, Chocolate Mine, and X-Ray would probably work well, but those games aren't available digitally.

      Emulation does give you many more options for different controllers. Vectron does use the extra diagonals in an Intellivision controllers. An analog stick can work as long as you spring back to center after every shot.

      The Official "Thrift finds" Thread

      By Tanooki · Posted

      Ok like I said if I had a reason to do an image I would, and well, actually today ended up going from great to wow in two parts...  So the first image rolls up what i said before about MMPR, Mario plate, the arcade japan book, pokemon guide mismark, and gumshoe with space shuttle too for nes.   And then... yeah, this went well today and the flea market came up cheaply priced and high on value for me.  First was a slow start with this weird PSP tryhard Genesis emulator/system on a chip thing which has supposedly nearly a million games (try 80 then repeats) and oddly had the couple carts also made for it usually not bundled which have like 30-35 ea and another nearly 1M repeats.   Truly stunning games on it though, and a few screwball hacks like a reprehensible SMB clone where jumping on stuff kills you.  El Viento, Streets of Rage 3, Turtles, Dragon's Fury, Ristar, some Sonic stuff, Golden Axe 2, and quite a few more... $10.  I was cruising a bit as it was early, guess it went out after a pass, but damn...... Pac-Man coleco, stickers aren't stained from dry glue, battery door, had slight crust n' rust that cleaned away -- works perfect for $12.  Then in the rear in a really random pile of pins, found for just $1 a PS4 Seagate 2TB Game Drive and for another $2 a PS4 Dual Shock controller too.  They do work, reformatted exfat the drive and they're 100% solid.  $25 total.   I hit the goodwill after on the way home, got that disk case for a dollar, but what I really appreciated too was the odd find of that truck, unmarked but figured it out it's made in Japan, Nomura made it, 1960s, it's almost spotless other than the star on top, it's missing a canopy saying US Army and a little trailer, it's worth around $150 if it were all there, but hey it was just $19 for the truck and it's in my antique cabinet.     A bit later, not sure why the hell this never was found by anyone at an estate sale all weekend up until mid-day today, but yeah...the owner (old couple moving to a condo in FL) put this box of NES games/sleeves up for $40.  I was the fastest there and closest near by...some really really good stuff here.  About 1/2 are doubles but the rest I really could use, and a couple I had been seeking out locally too. :P~  The original owner was their son, stored away in a box for over 30 years, dusty/dirty a bit on the outside, but these games have no dents/wear on the stickers largely looking fresh out of the box.  I can upgrade a few of my games that weren't original personally owned, and add a few more for me too.

      Off-Topic / Dumping Thread

      By Gary from OPA · Posted

      Just my luck, as I was watching my tv show, the actors were trying to figure out how the victim was murdered and it turned out to be from his bubble tea he was drinking, one of the tapioca pearls was replaced with a metal bead and then the killer used a super powerful magnet to rapidly pull it out of his victim from outside the building, basically killing him like a gunshot but in reverse without leaving any evidence behind.   Almost choked to death on my own bubble tea as I was slipping it when the actors announced their amazing discovery on the screen.   Just what I get for watching CSI: Vegas while drinking my tea. 🤣

      Final Fight 2600 Demo (Double Dragon Hack)

      By Living Room Arcade · Posted

      Hello Mr. @alfredtdk, there is TREMENDOUS interest!  I, personally, have only one request.  Many people agree, the original DD is too hard.  Your graphics looks amazing, but, please, do whatever you can to make the game a little easier.  Can the enemies be slowed down slightly?  Give you a chance to move or defend to to strike first before they do?

      Good sega arcade ports

      By Tanooki · Posted

      Not sure why I read it the way I did, but totally giving another vote for STAR CONTROL.  That is the best damn port of that original, glad I own it.   And on that note, as long as we forget the upgraded windows 'legacy' thing didn't exist, Dune II was ported to Genesis as well and it's truly amazing on there (have this too.)

      Real Bout Fatal Fury: Genesis port sent to SNK for a possible official release in the near future

      By Tanooki · Posted

      Damn that's impressive.  If this isn't bs, and SNK actually bit and hard enough to approve this for some kind of physical (and digital) release despite not being the biggest Fatal Fury fan nor fighting games either much anymore (I think I have permanent burnout) I'd grab this if it wasn't stupid priced.  I would also hope it would inspire others to take a swing, maybe Capcom with Final Fight, SNK again with metal slug....who knows.  There are some epic ports/remakes of older titles that were due last year that slipped it seems into this.
