Classic Video Games / Re: 3DO questions

« on: January 09, 2013, 12:30:48 am »

Well one thing make sure the 3DO is working when you buy it because they are very bad that way.
A good gem for the system and probably my favorite for it is Road Rash. also I love wolfenstien 3D for it another fun game is Need for speed but I personaly say get road rash.

My first game I have ever played was the original Super Mario Bros. when I was about 3 or 4 with my mom. on the other hand the first game I personally owned to call my own was for my 5th birthday and was Scooby-Doo Mystery for the SNES and I played the hell out of that game.

Well I just got back from my game collecting trip through the states and therefor this is my first post in awhile.
I used to go to a little shop called high score in Ontario and have gone there since I was little but it has closed down so now I use a internet site kinda like craigs list but its called kijiji and it is where i collect most of my systems along with flea markets but I do miss the old days of walking into a retro used video game stores

To be completly honest it isnt really worth it both me and my wife have it and we play COD together and there is a few titles for it that keep me going back to it but for the most part thre just isnt the 3rd party support or even the 1st party support for that matter to keep the system going on. It had a slow start and I thought it might pick up like the 3ds did but theres nothing being released for it and that is its downfall.

(3DO)

Damn 3DO, i bought one few months ago, but, it doesn't work at all.
It cost a lot but apparently you gotta be really careful when you buy one.

Its true I waited to get a 3DO until I started to run out of common systems to get and it took me 3 tries to get a working one >_> but when you do its worth it for some games others not so much. But they do jump up in price so you just have to keep your eye out for a good deal

My other hobbies besides collecting systems is building Arcade machines I build them and sell them for a good price, but the odd time I keep one for myself >_>. I also go to conventions and lecture on Nintendo and its untold history which they do not speak of.

I also skateboard and travel a lot but mostly to find consoles that I have never heard of. ie. The Funstation 3 imported from panama by myself

They aren't game cards, they're literally SD cards. There's a thread over on the neo-geo.com forums where people are looking into the hardware and the software - apparently it's running a version of Final Burn Alpha and the "built-in" games are stored on a micro SD card underneath the battery.

so in theory could we put games on our own SD cards?

1: Zelda Ocarina of Time. (N64) : Played it as a kid and was just lost in its story and the land of hyrule. (Big zelda nerd >_>)
2: Super Mario World. (SNES) : Awesome graphical upgrade and smooth controls.
3: Zelda Link to the Past. (SNES) : Great story and game play which added a lot to the series.
4: Pokemon Y/B/R. : (GB) : Anyone around my age played the hell out of these games and I still go back to them today.
5: Star Fox 64. (N64) : Just love the visuals and how well the game is put together along with it being one of my first rumble pak games. (for people who games before built in rumble )
6: Road Rash. (3DO) I just loved the violance as a kid and how it had real music, now I just love the violance.
7: Banjo Kazooie. (N64) Just an all together great game and Rare knocked it out of the park with every detail.
8: Metal Gear: (PS1) it's Metal Gear what more can I say
9: Metal Slug: (Neo Geo) I love the violance thats behind the 16 bit lens and man does it get hard.
10: Pitfall (Atari 2600) : Playing it for the first time is what began my obsession with collecting.

I agree with @fiveforfightng, seems like a waste when there are stacks of Wiis at all the local game stores for $60~.  Why pay more for less?  @thecollector0o7 collects systems so that makes sense, but if you just want to play games save teh monies!

Its true, as I said before its a really cheap system and really not worth the buy unless you collect. If not stay away because its honestly not worth the money, but Nintendo knows theres people like me out there so the grab me for every dollar I have >_>

Its very cheap feeling. When you open the disk tray it feels like a ps2 slim. Very light weight and it has the same plastic feel of the ps2 slim. its not worth the buy unless your going to keep it factory sealed like my second one and keep it for collection. if not dont get it
