Did you know the creator of Gyruss went on to make Street Fighter?

Tempest 4000 looked a lot like 3000 and 2000 to me, but I'm no expert.

Oh yeah, I definitely count mobile games as a viable gaming platform.  

I didn't try the Dissida or FFXV mobile games, but I am played the new Dissida fighter on PS4.  It looks awesome but so far I like the PSP Dissida games better.  I may write a blog about it at the end of the month, maybe.

If you are in a mobile gaming mood, might I suggest...maybe...Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp? :)

Mmmm, not really.  I played it again fairly recently and still enjoyed it.  I still think it's aged better than other classic beat 'em up like, say, Double Dragon.

I thought Final Fight has aged very well compared to some other beat 'em ups.  I still enjoy it for what it is.  I played it a lot in arcades.

Never played it.  Although there is a character in it named Burger Dog, so I've always been interested.

Jeff Minter is working on Tempest 4000.  I played it at PAX West.

I hear the Tempest arcade machine is a pain in the butt to maintain.

I have a Genesis Flashback, the emulation on it is HORRIBLE!

My favorite Atari collection is the Activision Anthology on PS2.  Have you ever tried that one?

FF6 is one of my top five favorite games of all time.

I got the Dreamcast for Christmas in 1999, too!

I hated it when the dot com bubble burst.  Before then I was high on the hog writing for The Dallas Morning News and when I graduated college in 1999, companies were asking ME to write for them!  I even brought multiple company business cards with me to E3 that year!  But right after that, everyone backed out, the dot com boom went to bust, and it's been all downhill from there.  Even my dad agrees with me that I've had bad timing and luck with that, so it makes me feel good that at least one other person understands what was going on then.
