The third one and the N64 version though, not so much.
so they are bad games???

The third one wasnt bad, it was using a different game engine and didnt feel right. The physics were a bit wonky and it just wasnt as fun as the first two. The N64 version is just awful. Avoid it.

Id love to see a sequel to Carmageddon! The first two games were awesome and i put a ton of hours into them. The third one and the N64 version though, not so much.

I do the plastic bin thing as well. I keep everything oddly separated though. The AV cords, RF adapters, AC adapters, wired controllers, and wireless controllers all grouped in seperate bins that are stashed in the closet.
For the 9 or so systems that are hooked up i have 1 wired controller plugged in to each system at all times. That way im not hunting for a controller when I have a retro hankering

That controller does look pretty sweet! Looks like it can transform into a mecha and fly away

I wish I could but thats a bit far from me

If there is any other northerners around here, there is a classic gaming con in Wisconsin that I attend every year. Its called the Midwest Gaming Classic. Its full of video game and pinball awesomeness

Classic Video Games / Re: what shareware games did you play as a kid or teen

« on: April 09, 2012, 01:46:20 pm »

Commander Keen, Wolfenstien 3D, and the original Duke Nukem, to name just a few. Hell, most of the computer games I played during the late 80s early 90s were mostly shareware.
I remember my local computer store at the time had all their 5 1/4 floppy shareware games in little ziplock baggies hangin off of hooks. Kind off a strange setup but it was super cheap. $10 bought a lot of shareware

Nice! Those racks are the best for displaying games.

I did the same thing a while back. When Circuit City was closing, i ended up getting a giant DVD/Game/Cd display rack. It was a deal i just couldnt pass up. Also it was an excuse to buy more games. Cant have a half filled rack now, can we?

« on: April 04, 2012, 06:19:57 pm »

I tried using a few gaming chairs but they didnt make my back feel very good. Since couches dont work for me either i finally ended up moving all my game systems into my office and now i sit in an upright office chair. I found that to be the best comfy solution and i dont have to fight the wife for the tv. Best gaming decision i ever made

General / Re: Who deleted your epic save file?

« on: April 04, 2012, 06:08:31 pm »

Mine was also a FF7 save. I had spent so many hours breeding and racing Chocobos so i could get the ultimate gold choco and grinded up my party to a pretty high level. All i had left to do was to defeat Sephiroth. So i took my official Sony memory card to a friends house to show off my sweet gold chocobo and i popped it in and there was nothing on the card. It was completely erased. 90+ hours down the toilet.

I just had it in my front pocket for 20min and i dont remember passing any super magnets or anything. Seems like that game is just bad luck to save files.
