Well, actually, I take that back...GG stuff isn't hard to find around here, the local place has quite a bit of it, it's just hard to find stuff that I don't already have around here. ;)

The local place sells GG titles for $4.90.

I need to do less game shopping! Man, no more until next year (I have enough new stuff to keep me busy for awhile), except these two new ones and they are cheap!

Genesis Collection (PS2), I already have a reservation on this one, so I *have* to get it.

Capcom Classics Collection 2 (PS2 or XBox, haven't decided yet), didn't even know this was coming out til I saw it on a to be released list in a mag a couple of nights ago. Here's the titles it will have on it. My comments in italic.

1941 I like the 194x series but this one is just too peashooterish and old school
Avengers like Marvel Avengers?
Black Tiger I think its an overhead shooter, never played it though
Block Block what a fighting game maybe
Captain Commando Yes!
Eco Fighters Never played it
Knights of the Round Never played it
King of Dragons Never played it
Last Duel Never played it
Mega Twins Never played it
Magic Sword Never played it
Quiz and Dragons Never played it
Side Arms Another shooter I think
The Speed Rumbler Never played it
Street Fighter I !!!!Finally I get to play this without getting the TG-16 port!!!!
Super Street Fighter II Turbo Is this Hyper Fighting or just plain Turbo, the names are so confusing
Strider Very nice
Three Wonders Never played it
Tiger Road Never played it
Varth Never played it

Both of this come out in the middle of November and are $20 new.

There's a trailer for all this over at GameTrailers.com, but as they don't seem to allow for direct linking, I can't really do anything for you here. Just head on over and type in Capcom Collections or whatever, and you'll find it. Shows all the games, I believe.

Black tiger is not an overhead shooter.

It's a fantastic platform action game.

How far does the series go? 1941, 2, 3 and then X?

I'm pretty sure that the Capcom Generations disk had four games: 1941, 2, 3 and I think something called like 1943' or something.

Yeah thats what I meant with Strider II, a bit easy, unlimited continues (I sound like a broken record huh) made it that much worse too. To get *any* side scrolling game in that everything has to be 3d period of Sony was always pretty nice though!

I seem to remember some pretty nasty slowdown on the original on PSX?

I don't remember any slowdown, but it's been a long while since I've broken it out. I remember reading in GameFan that they said it actually ran a bit faster than the arcade version.

Captain Commando and Knights of the Round are good, I wonder if Capcom won't screw them up somehow (subdued chip music, unlimited continues with infinite respawns, etc). They could be stand alone XBL Arcade games if they did them right.

The *legendary* Turbo version of Super Street Fighter II you mean? ;)

Strider on PS1 had way too long of load times, the Sega CD could have done that game with 3-6 second load times. If this loads the game and you can play it, it'll be better than the PS1 game. When I owned Strider II, I played through the actual sequel once, beat it my first play, and then I found myself popping in Strider on Genesis rather than bothering to wait the 3 minutes it'd take to get the Playstation fired up to play the same game with only marginally more colorful graphics.

What's a DS2? As for the Xbox or GC version, no word...and if I know that shithouse known as Sega of Japan, I'd bet they won't port it to anything else(except the fucking PSP, which it's also scheduled for).

Well, virtually any arcade game could end up being a XBL Arcade title if they'd let them have the rights to do it. Capcom would either have to do it themselves or let the guys at Digital Eclipse handle it(like everyone else does). You know, I read somewhere that the Sony online thing isn't going to allow older stuff like this, at all. Now, granted, who wants to pay $10 for fucking Dig Dug, but man stuff like UMK3, Contra, etc? That rocks!

I think that they did such a good job with the Genesis version that it makes it so that you don't really miss the arcade version that much. I, too, hate the loads...but I don't break it out very often, so when I do, I don't mind sitting through them for the one time I'm going to play it within a 6 month span. ;)

They are $8.99 an hour away, and any where from $1-$4 in my area... and thankfully there's not much left I want for the Game Gear..

They also had Robotech Invasion Xbox, Worms US Saturn, WWF Royal Rumble
DC and 2012 Psychic Force. These games did not escape...

Ah, lesse, I'm looking down the gullet of:

Legendary Axe

Forgotton Worlds CD

Shadow of the Beast CD

Valis III CD

Arcade Card DUO

Art of Fighting 2 CD

At least, that's what I limited myself to watching. Some dildo is already bidding on the crap in order to drive the price up though, so we'll see what comes of this. I'd be willing to bet I'll end up with at least two games for less than $20 when all is done.

Sorry, Dual Shock 2, that crap Sony fans call the "perfect controller".

Ick, well, I guess I'll wait and see if it comes out for something else, since my PS2 is staying hooked up to my PC AiW card, and it just doesn't make sense to get a Genesis disk to display in analog on my PC monitor when I already have a Genesis hooked up to the same thing. ;)

I agree, and that ought to be one of many things that cause Sony to fall flat on their face this generation. Then again, I thought making a system with multiple processors on the CPU, half the Video RAM of the competition, and twice the price, last time was going to do them in. Silly me didn't realize that "Sony" is the new world religion.

Batman Returns, the driving sections, will blow your fucking mind! The 2D areas, though the graphics and music are bad-ass, suck due to the shit gameplay.

Never played Wing Commander, but I don't like flight sims...and that's just a little too simm-y for me.

Brutal kinda blows... :(

Microcosm is a fun, FMV shooter. Keep trying to find the two-pack that has it and Prime together.

Time Gal is an FMV game like Dragon's Lair, but with a cute, green haired anime chick. Get Road Avenger at some point if you can...

I don't really have any issues with the PSX pad other than it doesn't have 6 face buttons. I like the analog sticks, but don't like it when I have to use both at the same time(that just seems off, I like the upper/lower config the Xbox controller has). As for the Genesis collection, I wouldn't worry about it too much....other than GAIII, eveything else on it can be easily acquired for a low amount.

You know I'm not sure if I have AoF2, I think I may have the SNES port or that could be AoF1. Don't really like AoF1, something about it, but I *love* AoF3! God its so good, too bad the load time lick ass so bad and the cart is pretty damn expensive for a game of that age. Thats one I will get on the cart one day though.

The SNES got both AoF 1 and 2, though 2 was import only. AoF 1 on the SNES was fucking good, but I like the Genesis version more, seems more playable and the control is much better(imo).

Yeah, like Sengoku 3, they *completely* redid the engine and gameplay for AoF3. I agree, it's fucking miraculously good. I had it on the NGCD, but the loads(like you said) just killed it for me.
