Another option is the ChaosReins rotary at the GOAT Store. We've been carrying them for years now, and they are my personal favorite of the bunch.
As for T2K, it's passable with the controller, but if you can it becomes even better with a rotary. T2K is my favorite game (and best reason to own a Jaguar, in my opinion) and a rotary truly completes the experience.
If you had 5 or 6x shirts... (I swear one day I'm going to just start up a company making fat guy geek shirts... I think it would do quite well).
Oh, good point actually -- the Tetris shirts *do* go up to 3XL, but I might have to ask for a couple extra bucks for those. Those were really expensive to make (they turned out GREAT though) and I think with the prices above, I'm guaranteed to lose otherwise...
Hunh. I just recently picked up the arcade board. I've always liked the game, the Lynx version is very good, but I just don't know if the gameplay will hold up with a modern audience at all. You pretty much have to accept the fact you need to memorize it all to get anywhere... I was just thinking the other day that if I didn't look at the arcade game with such rose colored glasses, I would think it was complete crap.
I'm floored that anyone decided to remake this. Hope it does well though, I'll buy it if given the chance!
The Dreamcast is the system that made us figure out where the "Classic" cut off was for the Midwest Gaming Classic. In 2002, my cousin told me that Sonic Adventure was his favorite "classic" game. He was like 8 at the time, so it made sense.
I've basically believed that ever since then. Classic games are the games we have great memories of, not necessarily those that fit into some particular era or something like that. Retro games are a bit different -- retro refers to games that were made in a way or a style that isn't seen as much today... score chasing, arcade-like games to me are "retro" games, whether they are brand new arcade titles, cool score chase titles for the 360 / PS3, or whatever.
In that case, to me, the majority of the games that came out on the Dreamcast that are fondly remembered today are not the type of games that are popular today. With just a glance at my collection, the real highlights / memories are games like Marvel Vs. Capcom, Crazy Taxi, Samba de Amigo, Mars Matrix, Rush 2049, Gauntlet Legends, Sega Rally, Sega Bass Fishing and so on. There are very few games like Shenmue or Sonic Adventure that are the more "modern" style of game design. So, based on that and that alone, I'd tend to say it is a more retro console.
But, I own retro games that were just released on my Xbox 360 too. It's all perspective...
