On the subject of the 5200, stay tuned for my next blog after the TI one...

There's plenty of Atari stuff that's obscure too, and a lot of it is better than the 2600 was. :)

Oh, I had one of those too....

Can't wait to get Twilight Princess HD. That was my favorite Zelda and it's just one game shy of the top of my all time favorite games list. :)

I enjoyed the fanservice from the first game. And honestly, me being a fan of Valkyria Chronicles, Sakura Wars, and Virtua Fighter, the Sega team was my favorite from the first game. Looks like they dropped Valkyria Chronicles, sadly, but they did bring in Yakuza, which is cool, as I'm a fan of that series as well.

You're a good man, Larry. I, too, have had to care for my wife when she got sick.

I generally prefer games with rich color palettes, and I like a lot of games with (seemingly, anyway) lighter themes. That said, a bright palette does not preclude a dark game, as some of the games I found to be the darkest looked quite cheery on the surface - see Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, as in my last post.

My first Playstation experience was FInal Fantasy VII. It's the reason I got a PlayStation. The N64 had nothing like it. It's my favorite game of all time.

One thing I always liked was the elegant simplicity of the interface. Instead of four, five, or six buttons, Virtua Fighter has an amazing plethora of moves on an interface that only uses three buttons - one of those being a block button.

Virtua Fighter 4 was my go-to fighting game on PS2. Between that and Skies of Arcadia Legends, I had high hopes for Sega as a third party. Of course, the reality didn't quite match up, outstanding games like Valkyria Chronicles aside.
