How dare you badmouth Plumbers Don't Wear Ties!?!?!

Plumbers Don't Wear Ties is the most innovative game ever.  Just the title alone puts it into contention as one of the greatest games ever!

This is actually proof that console gamers are more hardcore than PC gamers. Console gamers don't tolerate this shit on their systems.

Personally, I agree.  XBOX Live Arcade would beg to differ.

PC gamers don't need weak consoles. Phantom was an idiotic idea, and I trembled in fear the first time I heard about their ideas (downloading games off the net instead of buying them, etc).

Looking at the downloadable content on the current consoles makes me think that everybody will eventually take this route.  Nostradamus envisioned a future where store bought games would be very short and limited, forcing people online to download the 'good' parts of the game.  Actually, this could be a good way for developers to push a game into the market early and at a lower price.  They could then use this money to pay for the rest of the development costs, which have risen too high for smaller companies to stay competitive.

I seriously wrote EA after the whole Sonic/Knuckles plug-in thing and asked them to do the same thing with NHL series of games so I could have a "base" and buy updated rosters that plug into the top every year.  Never heard back...

Can't think of 10, but I definately think the 32X and the CD-i are in there!

Dragon's Lair appreciation. Again.

I remember kids back in the day saying that EA was releasing a chip that plugged into the yellow(?) indented part on the cart to update stats every year. You know, so people wouldn't have to buy the exact same game at full price every year just for slightly different stats.  :wink:

Hahahaha, that would be too funny and awesome! Man I should really open up that yellow lighting bolt thing on those EA cartridges, there has to be something in there! Could it be all the secrets of mankind?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

I always thought that it was like some special ram or fx chip, something like that. It didn't help that those EA carts were bigger too, just more for the imagination

Sega CD (original model) + Genesis (original model) + Game Genie + Sonic & Knuckles + EA cartridge (preferably Skitchin).

The tallest structure in the world.

Not without a 32X on there it isn't.

I believe they're building one in Dubai that incorporates some sort of MD adapter...

Maybe you could put that on top of the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge with a Master System game in it, but #1: it wouldn't work and #2: an EA cartridge still might be taller, and you'd get the Sonic bonus game I think.

EA cartridges looked like crap anyway.  Ditto for those old TENGEN NES cartridges. :-&

E.T. is underrated.  In fact, I'm one of the few people in this world that like the E.T. Atari 2600 game.  C'mon! The title screen was awesome and it was quite possibly the only Atari game that had an ending!

And you get to play as E.T.! What more do you want? :D
