Ooooooo next time I'm over we have to play some Windjammers. Fingers crossed that the load times aren't horrendous

It's not Last Blade terrible

Caved and bought a graphite GBA SP off of ebay for $60 bucks, looked like pretty good condition, so fingers crossed!  If it is nice, I should be all set for GB stuff.  Off to purchase some accessories for it!

Yesterday's mail brought me copies of Sol Bianca, Builder Land, Mine Sweeper, Tenchi Muyo, Power Golf 2, Fushigi No Kuni No Angelique, and a couple Secret Santa goodies.

Nice!  I really need to crack into my copy of Power Golf 2.  Picked up Revenge of the Gator for GB last night (well, got it for cheap off Amazon.  Here's hoping it's in good condition, they said it had the protective shell and manual, so that's a good sign I think.  for ~$5, to start off my GB pinball collection).

Elemental Master and Sigma Star Saga! by xelement5x, on Flickr

Got a couple new titles, one of which I'd wanted for a VERY long time... Elemental Master!  Prices kept going up on it and a decent deal for a CIB copy popped up so I decided to jump on it before it got worse (as seems to be the case with all shooters anymore). 

As well I picked up Sigma Star Saga CIB in nice shape.  This one has always had an interesting concept to me and the price is pretty reasonable still so I felt compelled to grab it.  It's also developed by WayForward (of Shantae fame) and they have always made pretty decent games in my opinion.

I think I am ready to play some Blackthorn!  I now have two 32X games Blackthron and Night Trap. Apart from those the only other three that interest me are Space Harrier, After Burner, and Tempo. Anyone recommend any other must plays for the 32X?



The 3.0 system card was a sweet $14 free shipping pick up. And well Teranigma. I am very interested to play this PAL game. And in English.

Blackthorne on the SNES AND 32x?  You RAWK! 

And you pretty much nailed it.  Other than Kolibri and Knuckles Chaotix (overpriced, overrated) you named most of the good ones. :/ Still an awesome system to have though! 

Stellar Assault is also fun if you like such games.  Star Wars arcade is difficult as balls, but affordable & therefore worth owning.  I'll update this post if I think of anymore.

I saw this game at the local retro game store.


Don't have a CDi but this one game interest me as a point and click game.

I own that game without the lightgun or mouse it is almost impossible to play. The response time expected on the scenes are way tougher then like dragon's lair required

Apart from this game are there any other CDi games worth while to justify buying a system and set up to play this game?

[lwizardl]

depends on your tastes in games. I own 2 different models of the cdi players, and like 11 games. I burned a few games to try out and see if I wanted to invest any more money into the systems and I can say if you do not have the digital video addon card in the system you will not be able to play what seems like 80% of the library. All the zelda based games are horrible to play (bought 2 of them). The best game on the system so far for me is hotel mario and even that is a test of your patience.

I heard The Sorcerer's Apprentice is pretty good. This is just hearsay as I don't own a CD-i. Now if you want to talk 3DO then that's a different story.

[lwizardl]

Sorcerer's Apprentice so far is the only game on the system I have completed, but expect to spend a few hours getting annoyed by all the memory match type puzzles.

3DO is one of my all time favorite systems, yes has a fair share of crap titles but also has some gems like twistid the game show, psychic detective, brain dead 13, captain quazar, etc

[johnnykonami]

I think the CDI could make for a fun night with some friends, y'know, to laugh over the terrible games.  The only experience I have with it though really is playing it for a couple minutes back when it was in stores, that Zelda game was on demo.  Many of the others I've just watched a youtube vid on.  If there are any good games for it, I don't know what they are!

As for the 3DO, I actually picked up years back so I could get the 3DO version of Policenauts and Policenauts Pilot Disc.  I don't really have anything else for it but I think there's some potential in the library if you like that era of early CD-Rom/FMV laden PC titles.  I do, personally, just never really picked any up (yet).  I think I also remember it being known for one of the best Street Fighter conversions at the time, too, but don't quote me on that.  i can't even say which one for sure - II Turbo I think?  When they added Cammy.
