Underated Attachments

[esteban]

That Flywing looks the tits. Do you have one, esteban? How does it play?

Hahahahha. Some dude who was here briefly was kind enough to take a nice photo when I asked him. I had never heard if it, EVVVA, and was doubtful it was really a PCE compatible item.

IIRC, it was marketed for all the major platforms....the cables and connectors varied, but the FLY WING was essentially always the FLY WING.

Since I am easily amused, I loved the "20 max pts." Sticker.

The Jaguar VR Headset...the future is now...no, sorry the future was then...no, it wasn't the future at all




VR was all the rage back in the early-mid 90s.

And just like 3D movies it is coming back with vengeance.

Just like my herp......scratch scratch scratch.

But technology has advanced enough for these things to not totally suck - unlike back then. Which brings me to my next point, where's my hover board, you fancy VR making, 3D watching scientists?

VR always has, and always will suck my left one.

We will be laughing at the current fad (oculus rift, etc.) soon enough.

3D television and films are niche....limited application....same with VR....very niche, and we will suffer through a lot of poorly implemented and poorly executed VR garbage.

You didn't say anything about hover boards. Hover boards are awesome.

It's definitely not retro but if we're taking underrated peripherals - the Playstation Move SharpShooter gun attachments are the bee's knees. They're a must for HOTD4, Time Crisis 4 / razing storm and dead storm pirates. Plus they can be had for super cheap if you look around.

The playstation move stuff as well as the kinekt stuff semi interested me.

Mostly the time crises game and I want to say the house of the dead...

But it seemed to fail so much so that I dont really see the move controls much.

PS Move is definitely temperamental - if you move the gun off screen too much it'll pause the game and make you re-calibrate. Once you get everything set up perfectly though, it works like a charm (actually works better than the Wii controls in most cases). HOTD4 is an amazing home conversion; it's basically arcade-perfect.

Yeah, I managed to find several of those sharpshooter things new in the box for like $2 when ToysRUs was putting them on clearance.  They are a pretty decent little accessory.

Is the Turbo Booster Plus an underrated attachment? Many collectors I know didn't even know of the Plus...figured there was only the Turbo Booster. I bought it by accident in a TG16 package and didn't realize until much later that it has memory for saving games.

Well, it's a very useful solution to the RF and game save deficits of a stock TG-16...but even back in the day, it was pricy (I bought one, then sold it to a friend to find TG-CD).

So...great gear, but price was always an issue, IMHO.

Oh, it was friggin' huge, so most folks would add that to the list of problems. Ha!

The SG-1000 Card Catcher.

Despite the MyCards having even less memory than the Carts, the system's best games came out on it.

SEGA Pitfall II, nuff said.
