I still think Final Lap Twin is the best garbage-level-price game you can get. It's actually worth playing, unlike most of stuff on the low end (Sorry TV Sports series and Super Volleyball).

But yeah, that everdrive tho. Hard to argue with.

Agreed. It is a good game. The challenge ramps up, too, so you certainly feel a sense of accomplishment when you beat a circuit.

Plus, we (pcefx) are pretty good at promoting the RPG Quest as one of the game's unique/quirky selling points.

Absolutely, the RPG part IS the game to me. I always loved that it would let you build a nigh uncontrollable super car if you wanted. Want to go all engine and not power up your tires at all? Good luck staying on the track!

Wish that World Court Tennis worked as well in it's RPG mode...but the core play is not nearly as good as the core racing in FLT, and it's just so bland...as I recall the equipment is named like "racket J" instead of having cool names like in Final Lap Twin.

I actually have my eye on ALL those games mentioned in the last few posts. Especially Air Zonk and World Court Tennis. EBay prices are just absurd on alot of em right now though. Final Lap Twin seems sweet for the price I've seen it sell for!

Everdrive. That's it. Done. No more. All gone.
Seriously these guys here were on me about getting an everdrive. I got one and it was the best investment I've ever done. I play all the imports and us library with no problem.
Unless your only console is this and you have a high paying job and no bills then go for it but for me everdrive was the best way to go.

The Turbo Everdrive is mandatory just for the translations, hacks and homebrews.

everdrive or PCE games are you best bet. At least with the way the market is right now.

Yeah, the Everdrive is going to be a must have for me cause I just can't handle the prices for the individual games. I'm just excited to finally get the co some in!!!! It's been 2 weeks since I paid for it!

Yeah I'd say get the Everdrive either way for the reasons Black Tiger mentioned. You can use useful programs like BRAM Tool too. And it's quite cheap so I think it's cheaper to buy an Everdrive instead of hunting down all the System Cards you need (those without RAM that is).

You can always get the games you really want as HuCards or CDs and play the rest on the Everdrive and CD-Rs.

For me the manual is a big part of the whole experience though, and the Everdrive can't satisfy that. But for expensive games like Dracula X I'll just burn it / use the Everdrive and download the manual scans from the internet if possible.

I'm big on the manuals and physical copies of almost everything myself. Only thing is, it's just becoming too expensive and not practical anymore. I use alot of ROMs for gaming on my Retron 5 since I can use so many different games in one place on one tv with HDMI. It was tricky but you just gotta fool the system into thinking they're isp patch files. You do have to have the Cart in for the ROM you wanna play though. I still own all my favorites. At least the ones I can afford!!! Power Blade for the NES was a must. Got the Cart and Manual, just need the Box now. It looks like TG16 collecting is so much harder than all the others, I'm guessing due to It's lack of popularity in the states.
