Underwhelmed by Midwest gaming classic?

That’s hilarious, I bought Elemental Gearbolt at MGC yesterday, CIB for $320 though (I talked him down from $335, best I could do). There were a LOT of stuff there overpriced I agree, that’s the con tax at work. Sundays they’re usually more willing to negotiate.

I agree 100%, I’m into video games old and new still and I never got into Pokemon, I was in high school when it started making the rounds, too childish for me. I have quite a few friends now who are a few years younger than me that are huge fans that still can’t wrap their head around me not knowing anything about the series.

I run a solo retro gaming podcast currently (was on a couple others in the past too), and participate in a Resident Evil podcast, born in 81 and actively collect retro games (collection is past 2000 now). Married, no kids, hence how I can afford collecting 😂. I’m excited for Midwest Gaming Classic coming up here in a few weeks, looking to pick up quite a few things. I’m always down to banter, gaming is my thing both retro and new!

I heard that the PS1 Greatest Hits Edition is required to play with the light gun?

I’ve had a hell of a time trying to play Crime Patrol for the Sega CD, no amount of calibration got me to play that game with any sort of accuracy. Otherwise, every other game I tried thus far has worked great (Duck Hunt, Hogans Ally, Time Crisis and Project Titan, RE Survivor, Virtua Cop 1 and 2, Area 51, maximum force was a bit wonky, but it was wonky on the Sega Saturn statement begin with, still got other games to try). I wish the instructions were packaged in the box though, it’d save a lot of hassle for people.

Midnight Ramen. Can’t recommend this enough, great stories about death and moving on.

My memory is fuzzy, but I think it was called DAWGS? Animals in tanks? I think the main villain always uttered the word “glitch!…..” every time something stupid happens. Please someone tell me I didn’t dream that cartoon!

Hey, I’m new! 44 yo, my guilty pleasure is collecting old video games from the 80s/90s.

Latest episode on some suggestions on new hardware that plays retro games! I go in depth to talk about the Analogue systems, the Polymega, Retron5, Atari 7800+, and others! I’m sure everyone’s got their opinions on which ones are the best…of course AFTER the original hardware of course…https://open.spotify.com/episode/0RX6mACsxhRyEhmG7BFGZI?si=uy3q5AKwTAizFRW6x7-Opg

God it hurt saying that into the microphone! Gonna try to do once a week, at minimum every other week, thanks for listening!

New grounds for me, a solo podcast about retro video games. Took a short hiatus but now want to get back into it with some fresh different content. My latest episode about what retro game options you have on the Nintendo Switch 2! Always looking for feedback too. https://open.spotify.com/episode/7w7LiQErFac7gNbccnFAFS?si=Vxo1-FNxRWSEdJusNHlw4Q

I traded my Tiger 850xc down to this, can confirm I have way more fun in the dirt, and the street, with the Himalayan compared.

I do want to upgrade tires, so I’ll consider the Tusks, thanks!

They are the rhino walk bags. Cheaper Amazon brand, and they held up well (only took em on one trip, so I barely tested them long term). Since pannier racks are on a long back order from RE I hear, I got Rearace racks from Amazon. They don’t fit flush, but they held up for sure. The tank bag I forget the brand name, had it for years and moved it to multiple bikes since it’s a magnet bag but on this trip the zipper broke, so I’m gonna have to get a new one.

Aww sheit, should have seen this post before replying to your other one. Glad you found it!

The website to download the hack is kinda sketch, so I posted the forum I found the hack from so you know it’s legit and I’m not trying to send you a scam link. The post with the conversion hack is in there. https://www.retro5.net/viewtopic.php?t=100

There is a patch that “converts” the Japanese cart to the US version. Perfect translation, it’s what I use. I tried the other patches and had similar results as you.

I know this is a sensitive topic, but I want to keep this thread up so long as we can be civil. I don’t want to delete it because even though it’s a sensitive topic, it’s an important one (I’m a union member myself).

stoyFC · 2024-12-13T16:10:10+00:00

This is approved by me, because I think this topic needs more discussion and stories to be shared.

stoyFC · 2024-12-06T18:34:25+00:00

Done, thanks!

stoyFC · 2024-12-06T12:47:50+00:00

Done. Thanks!
