Fallingshadow

As a reminder if you consle is in warrenty you should alway use the offical repair service. Not sure how I feel about CEX the are the main villain for controlling the retro prices at the moment.

I have a broken saturn model 2 modded which I been told is unfixable in the past.

My bro's japanese snes recently failed we think it's the gpu it still works but all the colours are wrong on screen

Re: Flashback: How Saturn's Memory Expansion Carts Made It The King Of 2D Fighters

Something not mentioned is that the saturn version of kof95 was so close to the arcade. This caused some backlash by neo geo fans as the saturn version was better than the neo geo cd version and a few fans questioned what was the point of owning a neo geo cd. Hence why later Kof's on the saturn where more inline with the neo geo CD versions. The rom cart would have allowed them to be near perfect.

Re: Poll: Should Retro Game Remasters Carry Warnings About "Offensive" Content?

@mariteaux I totally agrees history should not be censored in any way. We need to learn from the mistakes of the past or we will be doomed to repeat them. I don't see the point of this warning indeed if they feel the need to have them they should be in the store before purchase. That said Timeextenstion has missed the point here tomb raider has been released based on the openlara version and not the orignal as this is a recreation.

Yet Sunset Riders, Commandos 2, and Street Fighter 2 have all been released with censorship in recent version. Arcade Archives even delisted super sidekicks 2 games due to it containing references to Taiwan and the Republic of China.

This is far worse as they failed to mention the fact the games where censored. Pinball FX also censored a number of Midway tables but at least they mention the fact as this was due to ratings issues.

Re: To Make Sense Of Xbox Multiplatform Rumours, We Need Only Look To The Past

Sega going multi format was a complete mess and left their fans in no man land. Releasing games on different formats was a complete disaster. Virtua fighter 4 ps2, spikeout xbox, billy hatacher gamecube. They needed to release games on just one format or all. Indeed sega tried to get microsoft to included dreamcast support Chairman Isao Okawa at the time even met with Bill Gates.

Re: UK Newspaper The Guardian Ranks 'Daytona USA' As Sega's Greatest Arcade Game

Fallingshadow

I have to agree with this list Daytona USA is still one of the best racers and one of the few that allowed 40 cars on screen at once.The original Sega Rally is close but all the other poster fail to name a better sega racer. Daytona 2 and sega rally 2 where let downs. Virtua racing was good not great. touring car was the same. The original outrun is a classic but failed to have the impact of daytona in terms of the stages. Scud race was good. At this point your now into the more obscure racers like le mans or indy 500 both of which I only ever saw in one arcade. I doubt most of the poster ever played them.
