I've been fortunate with my Sega Saturn collection. Two of the games I got were gifts, and the third I happened to find during a random outing.

Dang, you too. I just looked at what you have, Albert Odyssey is another that's been on my wishlist for-freaking-ever.

Shout out to those who remember hearing all those stupid noises when dialing up to the internet and then hearing the famous "You've Got Mail!".  And then as soon as you click on your inbox to read your messages, you all a  sudden hear "Good-Bye".  Then spend 30 minutes trying to reconnect successfully lol    Good old days.    I had like one friend who had internet and he was the coolest kid in school just because he had internet.

*wonders* did they play software on the radio in the US?

I have taped some software that radiostations where 'playing' on the radio. But you have to turn the sound off or go crazy with the noise

I think maybe he's talking about when you put a game in your CD player and press play, and it makes that ungodly noise. But why in the world would a radio station play that? I'm pretty sure your alone on that one, fazerco.

He means recording the noise to tape then loading that in a computer system that loaded data from tapes, like the C64.

No, nobody would ever do something like that on this side of the pond, because using cassette tapes to store games was unheard of here.

I actually use the dial up internet sound for the ringtone on my phone ha.
