Sounds amazing! I didn't even know that there was a MIDI option available for the MSX.

New stuff!

I found a place on AliExpress that sells all sorts of unlicensed Lego characters for dirt cheap. I had to see if they looked as cool in real life as they looked on the web store. They do.






I didn't know this got a Saturn port and I hear it's not as good as the arcade version, but I've been meaning on trying it out and finally found one for next to nothing.




and last but not least, the new pins for this year's MGC arrived!

I really enjoyed Gale Racer on Saturn.  I used to play this game all the time in the arcade in the moving car, so it may be nostalgia talking.

That's how I remember playing it too. I spent a ton of money playing it back then because I loved how the car moved (much like the earlier After Burner game). It was pricey, but worth it.

I loved it too. I'll never forget the buttons for headlights and wiper blades. Sega should've made it the swansong of their 3D Remasters Project.

Yes!

Next time you make a return visit to the windy city, make sure to stop by Galloping Ghost Arcade. They have Gale Racer there.

oooOOOOoooo I don't know if I'll be able to make while I'm at MGC but I'll try to make it to the next Turbofest there!

For Sure! There is always the VGS every July too.

Well I paid to compete.

Although I finished. I really should have done some training leading up. My legs are going to be mush tomorrow/tonight.

I was really close to pulling the trigger on that Panzer Dragoon Saga LP as well.

I bought a Windows 7 Professional Product Key for only $2.53. Now that they're dirt cheap, as Win 7 support is good for another 2 years and the free Windows 10 upgrade period is over, I said why not to fully complete my upgrade from Vista finally. I didn't trust these key sellers, I didn't think Windows Activation was gonna work, but it did so purty cool to get that out of the way!

I think Windows 7 was the cleanest OS Microsoft produced, all the best of XP & Vista and less of the worst. Windows 8.1 moved the OS into the tablet craze of interface design, same with Windows 10 but with more spying like Google's Android, pretty much moving it to that model.

Well, I dunno how long I should stick with it, but I'll see how it goes in the next 2 years for my home PC. All my tablets are Windows 10 now (up'ed free from 8.1), and my phones are Android, so I have them all at my disposal to continue learning from on occasion.

Listing was quickly deleted after seller finished off his batch, but you just eBay search "windows 7 key" to find others.
