The NeoGeo games look really cool and I want one.

My buddy has the Game Gear and it's sequel, the Nomad. It's kinda cool that you can play Master Systems games, with an adapter, on the Game Gear and Genesis games on the Nomad, without an adapter, but there wasn't much I really wanted to play that was made for either of those systems. Still, who doesn't want to play Shining in the Darkness on the crapper?
I used to do the buy 2-get-1 free sales all the time. Now that I've put my game spending into my budget, I've tended to save up for new titles and only buy very specific used ones. No more impulse buying for me I'm afraid.
Me too. I think one time I traded in almost my entire collection. I bought a lot of that stuff back again, so I try to resist the urge now.
Right on. I agree with your original comment, I was just adding to it and my blog by mentioning the changes that have happened.
Man, would I love to see Okami on Atari 2600. Sure it wouldn't be anything like the original, but it would be interesting to see how that might look and play. Kinda like that Halo game for Atari 2600 someone did recently. You can play it in a browser now here: http://www.codemystics.com/halo2600/
I love looking at game collections. That's kind of a given for enthusiasts like us. More please.
Thanks. It's not really true that things haven't changed except for the means of delivery. Computers have clearly enabled games to be much more engaging and created so many more gameplay elements that never existed before. I just wanted to show the similarities in order to make it fun to think about gaming's roots.
Man, I can't get over the fact that I instantly thought of Barnstorm for Atari 2600 when I watched that Blue Max trailer.
When I saw that Mission Impossible episode, I thought, wow, aracdes then really weren't so different from the ones I went to in the eighties.
Just think, before there were even TVs at home, you would go to an arcade to watch Mutoscope and Kinetoscope shows like the one Dan watches in the back room. Now everything is available at home on PC and consoles and on the go in portable devices. No need for arcades these days.
I noticed that, and later I thought I should've mentioned you in the blog, just for fun. I was born in '67 so I will make myself feel old on the next blog that I do.
I've been waiting months for Netflix to send me the movie, but it's still listed as "very long wait". After seeing the trailer I realized that other games were inspired by it like Activision's Barnstorm for Atari 2600 and Snoopy Flying Ace on XBLA. Hey, those WWI biplanes are just cool as all heck. Of course they inspired games.
