What no VHS tape?

[roflmao]

Well I finally dug out my camera.  This is a Genesis lot that Bernie raffled off not too long ago, which I was the lucky recipient of.  I picked it up a couple of weeks ago on my RV trip up to NY/CT/RI.  Bernie also threw in a few surprise turbob goodies to boot!



Here's a closeup of mainly the Turbo/PCE stuff:



And here's a closeup of the Genny stuff.  The Genesis came with a power supply, but no AV cable.  I have one on order and it should arrive anytime now.  Thankfully I have a Model 1 Genesis, so I've been enjoying the games while I wait.  Thanks again so much, Bernie!  It was really fun to hang out with a fellow forum member.

this is for what exactly? meaning, which games take advantage of it, and how much more memory does it add?

Adds 4MB, only 3 games *requires* it: Perfect Dark, Zelda MM, and DK64

56 more games can use it (higher quality texture, etc) and will work fine without it.

It's a wrestling game.  It's the only one I've ever played so I really don't have much to compare it to.  The manual is thick!  It has all sorts of moves (of course I don't know what any of them are as it's all in Japanese). 

For an ACD game, I honestly was expecting bigger character sprites and more of a wow factor, but it seems decent enough. 

I haven't figured out how to pin people to the ground yet.   I can take their energy levels down to zero, and I think at one point I won because the other guy gave up, but I need to experiment with it some more.

Sweet Joe Red!  Play some Turok 2!  IMO, its not playable without the expansion PAK.

Some goodies from the road trip, and while I was gone

[wilykat]

Starlite?  Is the mobile park still there?  And the Starfighter arcade still there too?

A road trip through South Dakota sounds like fun. I want to visit Wall Drug some day.

[TheClash603]

I went to Wall Drug when it was supposed to be opened, and it closed early for no reason one day.  f*ck that place.

No trip to Mitchell SD is complete without a trip to the http://www.cornpalace.org/.   Did you make it?
I went when I was a kid and used my allowance to buy an wooden pistol that shot elastic bands.
I shot my brother in the face with the first elastic and that was the end of that toy.
At least I bought Batman for Gameboy from Walgreens on that trip, it was probably a better choice.
