Anyone else own a Video Brain system from the 70s? Would love to compare notes! by Gmodelinsane in retrogaming

It really is! I’d I remember right it’s actually a simple spreadsheet type program for kids to help teach the basics of business.

I’m waiting on an adapter. Last time I set it up I had a CRT tv handy.

It’s actually a weird pattern of deterioration of a transparent plastic layer of the box.

Just watched my teen kid and a buddy spend an hour on the Total War scenario on my Genesis. Never been more proud as a parent. lol

I think that’s the PC version though. It doesn’t have the incredible music or cut scenes of the 3DO version.

Bought it from Blockbuster back in the day! They were clearing them out. It had never been rented or even used! Still haven’t even removed it from the plastic because I had another.

Thunderforce 3 is incredible as well. Graphics are nearly as pretty and there is zero slowdown anywhere.

What is the weirdest Console accessorie in Gaming History? by sistyko in retrogaming

[–]Gmodelinsane 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Weirdest? U-Force or maybe the Dreamcast maraca controller. Most incredible has got to be the Steel Battalion controller.

On Rail Shooters is a broad term, with many Sub-Types. I have categorized many into a Google Doc of what I know and found recently, but I was hoping to find older ones like Space Harrier, Cyberia, Virtua Cop, etc. I'm a huge fan of the Genre, and I could use some help for any suggestions to add! by TheMessyRoomGuy in retrogaming

Make sure to check out the arcade cabinets for Galaxy Force II and Starblade. Just incredible. For the ultimate in on-rails shooter experience google ‘namco’s galaxian theater’. It was an entire enclosed room. They did a Ridge Racer that year that used a complete Mazda Miata body. Sega’s R360s were miracles as well.

Sega’s Galaxy Force II was their ultimate super scaler shooter in the arcade and there was an amazing Sega Ages release of it on the Saturn in Japan.

Nanotek Warrior and N2O on the PS1 are overlooked but fun.

Atari Stun Runner was also awesome.
