I don’t know how I did so bad.

My family has owned every single one of these home consoles and most of the handhelds but I only got 11 out of 25!

Now I understand why my wife, kids, brothers, parents, work colleagues, and random strangers keep telling me I’m not very observant.

My brother and I were talking about Virtual On the other day. We had a great summer holiday in Bournemouth playing at the SEGA arcade there. Games like Virtual On and Virtual Cop 2 were amazing.

We eventually got both on the Saturn.

Fighting Vipers was one of my favourite games on the Sega Saturn. I haven’t played number 2, so this might actually draw me in to Yakuza… but likely not.

Let’s hope they do a proper Sega Saturn collection for us one day.

Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 will always be legendary JRPGs to me. My favourite three of the PS1. But there are so many good ones.

Jade Cocoon was one of my all time favourites also, but it didn’t make this list.

I still find decisions like this to be bonkers.

Why limit your sales because of the number of discs?

I work in marketing, and used to be involved in the production of movies, TV series etc and making a one DVD product over a multi disc product changed the production price by only a small amount. The production time was increased, sure, but never enough to warrant this kind of decision. Especially as the price for games is higher so absorbs these minor production costs more easily.

This is more likely due to the attitude towards Xbox from Konami’s management and the developers at the time than anything else. They likely wanted to keep the game as a PlayStation exclusive.

I’m sure investors would have been really happy if they knew that at the time…

@impurekind I think even in the original the Games Master was designed to look bad.

It was quite a lighthearted show with lots of jokes and quips thrown in. I don’t think it ever took itself seriously. The only thing I think the new GMs design needs is a metal skull part covering his forehead.

Well, I’m happily looking forward to this without any negative feelings at all.

I have great memories of the past and will look to create some more with my kids enjoying it with me this time.

Glad this problem was limited to a few thousand people.

I loved my Dreamcast: Shenmue, Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, Phantasy Star Online. Great games.

We have always been a multi platform family and when I heard SEGA was stopping making hardware it was like a family member died.

As a kid, I noticed differences, but I can’t remember thinking one was superior. Me and my friends happily fought each other on both in ignorant bliss.

Ah, to be a kid with no critical brain again.
