I see 3 NESes. I know they aren't uncommon, but why so many?  :-k

Two of em were given to me and one i bought for $5 with 2 controllers, a zapper, hookups, and like 7-8 games. Oh and believe it or not i spent a couple of hours today untangling that entire mess of wires and tied em all up neat and tidy. So now all I need to do is clean the rest of the room.

Ya, quit teasing us. Also, show us the rest of that arcade cab!

You want some current pics of my collection? I'll see what i can do...

I don't believe you.  That ball is untanglable! Lest you're Alexander The Great and even then you'd have to have a sword to cut the ball.

I see 3DO systems as ginormous paperweights. Same goes for Jaguar systems and CD-i systems.
FMV games is just...ewwww

I don't recall the Jag having that many fmv games and only on the CD add-on; am I missing something?  The only ones that I recall are Space Ace, Dragon's Lair, and Brain Dead 13 (the first two are gems and I haven't played the third).

Ahh, I love the pile of wires in some of those pics!

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

At least those few Turbo games I saw were on the shelf and not on the floor.

Don't forget about the few that are on top of the CD on the floor.

[-X I have 5 early CD-ROM based systems. 3DO, Jag CD, Sega CD M1, PSX and Saturn. I LOVE my 3DO. The only one I really can't find a game I like on is the Sega CD, the rest get played regularly.

Seriously? :shock: I know there's a ton of FMV crap, but there's good stuff on it - Sonic CD, flashback and Silpheed spring immediately to mind.

But what is there on the Jag CD that's any good?

Sonic CD is OK, but I'd rather play Sonic 2 or 3.

I don't have Flashback on SegaCD, but I do have it and Out of this World on 3DO, and I don't like them. I don't have Silpheed, I'll have to check that one out.

To be fair, if I didn't hate jRPGs with an unholy passion, Lunar would probably be half decent. Sol-Feace isn't bad, per say, but compared to games like Blazing Lazers, Radiant Silvergun and R-Type, it hardly justifies existing.

So far, this is all I have for Sega CD:
1.Lunar
2.Night Trap
3.Prince of Persia
4.Sega Classics
5.Sherlock Holmes consulting detective
6.Sol Feace
7.Sonic CD
8.Stellar Fire

For Jag CD, Blue Lightning is decent, Primal Rage is good as far as fighting games go, but it'd be better if I had a quality joystick. Dragons Lair and Highlander are probably good if you're into RPGs. Vid Grid is an alright puzzle game, if you like the music (and I do)... Nothing particularly stands out as being great on the Jag CD, but it definitely has games that are playable.

Dragon's Lair is an RPG?  :-s   For a couple sega cd games you might want to try Robo Aleste and Android Assault/Bari Arm.  Also if you're into action/rpg games go for Popful Mail.  I'm a crazy person though and like the pc-engine version better.  Regardless it's a great game.  Shining Force CD is also great.  Final Fight is a terrific home version of the arcade and has some nice music.  I like the uncensored Mega CD version  :wink:

I donno, I don't touch anything based on medieval, Renaissance or basically any pre-WWII era stuff.

What do you mainly play then?  That seems to limit the playing field to me.  BTW there are a bunch of nice games on the 3DO.  Night Trap was an amazing game.   :^o  The Sega CD version was even better.   :^o   I figured you'd be into japanese RPG's owning a pc-engine, tg-16, wild arms that i saw for ps2 on the shelf.  Any reason you hate em?  Too cliche?

jRPGs are very juvenile and tend to repeat each other. A lot should be considered JPGs, just completely leave the R out. To be fair, the only RPGs I've liked were Fallout, Fallout 2, Deus Ex and Mass Effect. I like good platformers and goof shooter games. Sci-Fi can be fun, my favorite game of all time is probably Gears of War or Fallout 2.

On the Turbografx, I play Blazing Lazers, Bonk and Splatterhouse. I really am more of a collector than a gamer these days. I enjoy being surrounded by all these consoles that I didn't have when I was a kid. Honestly, my favorite part is connecting as many as I can at once. Right now, I have my 360, Game Cube, 2600, NES, SNES, N64 TG16, 3DO, Genesis/CD/32x and Jag/JagCD connected to one TV.

Yeah, Night Trap is pretty awful, but it's also rather uncommon so I'm ok with owning it :)

And I don't know what a wild arms is, but I got rid of my PS2 within a week of getting it.
