...if I don't have the actual physical game I flake out on it real easily. It's almost like I think that since it was free why should I put the effort into finishing the game. Especially when I can just switch to the next one. Maybe that's what having ADHD is like? lol
Exactly that. It could be called emulator syndrome or MAME syndrome or somesuch. If you have 1000 other games, you tend to give up on one of them after the first player death.
Back when I was a poor kid I spent weeks playing just Balloon Fight with my brother. Poverty = dedication.
But I'll chip in and say Super HuCard is a great effort and really cool. (Has proven useful a few times too.)
Exactly: poverty = dedication.
I am still trying to make progress on Athena (NES) because I still feel I was cheated by SNK when I was a kid. These days, I still try to glean some fun/entertainment out of every game that falls into my hands...it just stinks that my time for playing is so limited and fleeting.
Athena had the potential to be a fantastic game. Too bad.
Same here. When you bust your butt, looking for a game and finally find it and get it home, you just can't get enough of it but, the ease and convenience of downloading entire sets tends to put you in to a state of mind like "Now that I have them all I can play them any time I want to so, I'm not going to get in any hurry".
Then you pretty much just end up hanging on to what you downloaded but, never play them.
That must be what it's like to be rich. Growing up poor does more than make you tough, it teaches you to be grateful for what you have even if it doesn't seem like much at the time.
Getting back to Super HuCard though.
I just recently ran across it myself. I don't remember right off hand where it was but, I've got it.
I haven't played it enough to find any of the bugs talked about but, I did notice more than one instance of some of the same games as well as it being a mix of (U) and (J) instead of just one or the other.
The way that it has me interested is to see if all 94 U.S. HuCards could be put on it and if that worked out maybe try to do one with all of the Japanese Hus.
I've been trying to go through the ones with the different types such as h, a, p, t, and multiples in order to organize them in to something that's easier to browse through which brings me to another potential problem with Super HuCard; without being able to extract the games from the disc, we really have no idea what types of dumps they were therefor some of them may have been screwed up to begin with.
Well, what are your thoughts?
