What finally killed off arcades is that home systems nowadays have graphics so good that they can easily match any arcade system. So the only games that can do well in arcades are ones where there's enough hardware that a home version can't imitate the experience even by copying the graphics...

This isn't really so, because Sony has a policy against 2D games. To get most 2D games you pretty much have to import them from Japan. I've got Double Shienryu, Fist of the North Star (not worth it, but that's another story), and Darkstalkers Collection, with Sengoku Ace/Blade on order, and...

I've finished the game, but I noticed something curious. Magma lake, or what I think is Magma Lake. You actually get a hint saying the spring shoes are not enough to cross. Well, the bounce boots are not enough to cross either--but I can see that the way the edge on the other side is, I...

Does anyone know if Fantasy Zone arcade mode is a port of the arcade version, or enhanced? And if it is a port, how does it compare to the original and to other ports? I've never played the game before and Google is useless here--some reviews claim it's a port and others don't. And are any...

Well, for one thing, I can have some ROMs that are legal, even just the few that are on the Smash Pack. Also, I'm wondering if they're the same versions anyway. The smash pack claims to contain Super Shinobi, but the actual Super Shinobi is Revenge of Shinobi on an American system. (Of course...

For the PC version, that is. I'm aware that the ROMs are unencrypted on the DC version. Also, are the ROMs extractable from the Sonic collection for PS2?

The problem with "assault weapon" bans is that they're called assault weapon bans, and people *think* they ban weapons that spray a lot of bullets when you pull the trigger, but "assault weapon" is defined so broadly that it includes a lot of guns that aren't assault weapons. It really does...

I would suggest changing the background color of this site to something resembling the main color in your background picture (which looks solid black anyway). As the site is now it is impossible to read for anyone with picture loading off.

Do Sega CDs have the same problems? And specifically for PCEs, has anyone tried to burn Space Fantasy Zone off of zeograd.com? There's no cue file at all there; someone posted one in the forums, but it gave me some problems. (Could the MP3 samples problem be solved with an appropriate cue...

When you say that bin/cue doesn't burn properly in Linux, do you just mean there's no utility that understands the cue file format? (I used cue2toc at cue2toc.sourceforge.net) Or is there some other, more basic, problem?

Replying to an old topic, but I'm having a lot of trouble burning PC Engine ISOs myself. Typically I burn something and the game mostly works, but I get lots of missing sound, sound played too early or late (easy to notice on Valis--it's the only game where the audio's synchronized to the lip...

It's in perfect shape but as far as I know it never came with a CD; there isn't one now. There are at least 4 different Saturn Evangelion games.

This isn't exactly a rare item but I have the first Saturn Evangelion game (GS-9141, later version cover). It is $5 shipped to anyone who wants it. My email is arromdee AT rahul.net.

I already asked this on the Tototek forum, but does anyone know how the CD Key/Pro-CDX work? Do they just use software (in which case it might be possible to do something similar on a boot disk) or do they have special hardware?

Does anyone have a list of which names were changed in this game? (I know why the names were changed, but I don't know which ones...)

Does that mean that you can get additional games to work on the import enabler if you combine it with a country switch in your Genesis and set the switch to Japanese mode? (I have no idea if an import enabler lets you combine a Sega CD and a Genesis from different regions, so you might have to...

Mortal Kombat II should be removed from the list because it's pretty universally considered to be better on the SNES. Phantasy Star 3 and Streets of Rage 3 are less well liked sequels and you might want to take them off too.

If you can't play ROMs, could you...? Would it be feasible to have a [SM]ega CD which worked similarly to the Super Hu-Card for the TG-16/PCE (http://www.zeograd.com/super_hucard_download.php)? It doesn't play plain ROMs, but it can play ROMs that are specially hacked to work with it and that...

A long time ago, I happened to have a Japanese MD (original version). Through the magic of the Internet, people figured out the difference between mine and a Genesis, and found out how to make a language switch. It involved cutting jumpers 1/2 and installing a DPDT switch. Or, if you're...
