Dream snes seems like a great concept. The snes/genesis era was one of my favorite times to be a gamer!

This week I did some more Borderlands 2 and got to level 29 playing co-op with my buddy Mark (aka MADKRAMMER) on Xbox 360. The pics above are of both of our characters. It’s cool how you can change your look. It’s nothing new, but it’s fun. The game is full of humor. Almost every character is demented in some way. The world is enormous and chock full of enemies and missions. It’s hard to figure out whether to continue on the main mission or do every side mission along the way. I always worry that if I progress the story too far, I’ll lose access to some of the side missions. I’m going to have to look up a guide to make sure I don’t miss any.
In the late nights, after work, I used Backloggery’s Fortune Cookie randomizer to select a handheld game for me to work on since I don’t have much time before bed. One was the Intellivision game Sub Hunt in Intellivision Lives! on DS. The DS is perfect for these Intellivision games because it uses the bottom touch screen as you would the key pad on the Intellivision controller. Sub Hunt plays and looks very similar to Sea Battle except it’s a one player game where the AI sends flotilla’s of ships at your base and you have to stop them with your subs. There’s an over world map to maneuver to the flotilla and then a battle screen where you are up close. Then you try to stay out of sight while you shoot torpedoes at the many ships that appear in your periscope. I found it hard to remain out of sight and kept getting sunk.
Another was Radar Lock from the PSP’s Atari Classics Evolved collection. Thing is, you can’t access the original Atari 2600 games until you’ve beaten the Evolved remakes. So I started with Battlezone Evolved. You have to acquire four different medals to clear it and it’s kinda hard. The graphics are a slight upgrade from the sparse vector graphics of the original arcade game. I just kept getting blown up before I got close to any of the medals. It’s annoying to think that I’ll never unlock the 50 Atari 2600 games without thoroughly beating all eleven Evolved Atari arcade games. Still, these Evolved versions are colorful, sound great and play great on the PSP.
On the weekend, my buddy Mark gave me his copy of DreamSNES for Dreamcast. DreamSNES is an emulator that you can download from this website, put SNES ROM files with it, and burn it all to a CD that’ll play in your Dreamcast. He got it from someone who’d already loaded the CD with games. I went through all 70 to make sure they all worked and to get accurate titles since the files were named in a somewhat cryptic way. I’m most excited about Breath of Fire 2, Lufia 1 and 2, Chrono Trigger, and Final Fantasy V and III. I watched many of the highlights you see before you actually start the game, and I really loved those 16-bit presentations - especially Chrono Trigger's and Final Fantasy III's.
