Looks pretty grand.  It's got me interested in a recent FF game.  Nice.

The old guy on the right....is he the new Doctor?  I haven't watched the show since 2005.  I'm need to catch up on Netflix.

How do you like gaming on the Windows 8 OS?  I was too chicken and got Win 7 instead.

i7 Core? 27" screen??  You make me sick.  Show off.  LOL!

When you mentioned the Xbox 360 controller, you just reminded me that I should try using my PS3 controller for playing my emulators.  I'm currently using the PS2 controller, but I just want to see if I can use the PS3 with just the mini USB cable.

Congrats on the new system!

Aw snap, Tour de 64 is back!  Woo Hoo!!

I didn't get DK 64 until somewhere around 2004-ish.  I had always wanted to play it, but didn't have an N64 until then.  Like you said, it's a great game, but very collect-a-thon in its approach.  I played it for about a week and then went on to other games.  I intended to come back to it, but so much time passed, that I forgot where I left off.

Nice review though.   Quite thourough-- just the way I like it.

Yeah, that sound chip in the Genesis was a beast.  But only the truly masterful engineers could make it pump out some serious tunes and sound effects.

That's another good one Cary.  I need to play it again.  I never beat it.

Yeah, exactly.  I wish that more SHMUPs did that back in the day.

Me too dude.  Some folks always complain that the overhead levels are outdated and tarnish the game, but I disagree.  This is definitely a Genesis classic.

Hey Jon, I really enjoyed the review.  I lost interest on most FPS like the CoD series because these developers are just trying waaay too hard to be all "actiony" where everything has to 'splode every 5 seconds.  No Thanks.
