For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

To remove any awkwardness, I have mesothelioma. I don’t seek sympathy, just acceptance. Thanks

Nice looking games. What's the story on Blow Em Out?

TrekMD

It's a one screen platform game.  Originally it was released as a NES game but the Genesis version is an upgrade.  The story:  Blow 'em Out is a single-screen platform game with 10 levels. It's your birthday – and you have to blow out all of the candles on your birthday cake.

Quote from: "Shadowrunner"I bought a new toy :)

Okay, after getting stuck in customs for two weeks (ebay's global shipping program is a joke!) this finally showed up.

I fired it up last night and tried out a few games, and for the most part I really like it. It seems to be well made and it has a good weight to it. I tried all the adapters and they all work good. They're pretty big though, especially the NES one, so portability takes a bit of a hit but for playing around the house it works great. I really like being able to use the Super Gameboy with this and I think that will be getting the most play.

My only complaints are the d-pad could be a little bit smaller and the shoulder buttons would be better if they were behind the cartridge slot instead of in front of it. I think if you were playing for a long period of time and had to use the shoulder buttons a lot your hands would get pretty cramped.

Overall I'm very happy with it and with the amount of systems this will work with it was a great deal :)

Just got these in from Songbird. Couldn't find my originals during my inventory a couple weeks ago so bagged a set as replacements 8) Thank you Carl!
