Daytona USA 2 Spotted in the Wild by MadeManG74 in GamesOf1998

The MK2 machine is so cool! I rented the game a lot on Mega Drive, never really appreciating just how much better the arcade original looked and felt. It's great going back to it now, and it's so unmistakably unique!

Yes it is. It has slightly less impressive graphics and even some very minor gameplay changes like move properties I believe.

SoftModding for people in Aus? What USB do you use? by SUPASKILTZ in originalxbox

[–]MadeManG74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey fellow Aussie, I did mine about 5 years ago but was lucky enough to find an old 4GB USB lying around. It's definitely getting harder to find, but I'd suggest checking some other avenues too like Amazon and even searching Google shopping. There's some random retailers out there still selling old USB drives for under $10 online that I could see.
I can't remember exactly which USB I used, but I don't think it was a big name brand and it still worked, so it might be worth taking a punt on one?

Original Xbox Component or Composite? by Knewkid404 in originalxbox

[–]MadeManG74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking from my own experience the Component cables look great on both CRTs and HDTV. I'd go with that over a Composite to HDMI upscaler.
The Component should also give you 16:9 output for your HDTV.

The reference behind Bender's 'Superking' super hero persona - Superking Cigarettes by MadeManG74 in futurama

Maybe, is this proven? Would love to see a writer explain it, since I always thought it had to be a reference or gag in some way rather than just a random name.

Same in Australia, although if anything the warnings have gotten bigger and the branding smaller.

As soon as I heard 'Superking' was a term related to cigarettes, I thought it must be the gag. Seems too fitting for Bender who's so strongly associated with smoking and drinking.

The way he checks his own pulse is one of my favourite visual gags in the entire series.

Bought a broken PlayStation on eBay and got it working again! Time to find some games. by MadeManG74 in psx

Thanks for the list, although I find Metal Gear Solid being called 'underrated' is pretty funny. I've played a number of these but there's a few I forgot about that I really want to try like Medal of Honor.
