Console Compulsive

Been buying a mish mash of games recently.

Nes - Exitebike

Sega Master System -Running Battle, Fire & Forget II, Vigilante.

Sega Megadrive - Wiz 'n' Liz, The Flintstones, Teenage mutant Hero Turtles Tournament Fighters, Super Monaco GP (Japanese Version), Wardner, Cybercop (U.S. version of Corporation), Comix Zone.

Sega Saturn - Sega Ages Vol.1.

PC - Neverwinter Nights II, Sid Meiers Pirates, Patrician III, Tortuga, Port Royale, Star Wars Jedi Outcast.

Xbox 360 - Dreamcast Collection.

dcultrapro

yeah I got the dreamcast collection on 360 as well, frankly I'm not impressed, the Crazy Taxi port is poor without the offspring music, Sonic Adventure isn't too great either. I really hope they release JSR properly or they might as well give up right now

Yeah, i have to admit the games seem to have lost something in transition between the systems. I hate to say so but the most playable game on there is Sega Bass Fishing. lol

dcultrapro

yeah... see I haven't even tried Sega Bass Fishing on it because I assumed it would be dreadful lol. I love the REZ Port but that wasn't Sega I suppose, and Hydro Thunder Hurricane is another example of how the DC games CAN be ported... rather than the dodgy half arsed attempts from Sega. pretty disappointing. I don't think I want them to port Shenmue, SOA or PSO anymore because they will obviously just ruin them

There have been plenty of whispers about a Shenmue port to the Xbox but hopefully Sega will realise that it is a well loved game and will put some effort into making it pretty & playable.

dcultrapro

I'd actually rather they did something for Shenmue 3 like they did with Sonic the Hedgehog 4... minimize cost etc, make it viable as they can charge for it etc... Dreamcast level graphics would be perfect and I'd be happy, they don't have to up it to next gen quality if they are worried about cost

Shadowrunner

After years of searching I finally found a copy of Lucienne's quest for the 3DO!
It's disc only so I still need to track down a manual and box but at least I can play the game at long last. Very excited!

TrekMD

I just received Swords and Serpents for my Intellivision.

Going to the final frontier, gaming...


Shadowrunner

Yeah it's an RPG. It came out right at the end of the 3DO's life and therefore they didn't make very many copies of it.  The Japanese version is called sword and sorcery and is pretty common but the English version is very hard to find.
Funny thing is I found it on a small online retailers website in Canada very close to where I live. Last place in the world I expected to find it!  :)

Also spoke to a Retro games trader while I was there and he showed me the boxed Atari 800 that he bought for £5. I wish i'd been there a couple of hours earlier. Either way I'm pretty chuffed with my purchases.
