Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted August 16, 2023 Paid Members Posted August 16, 2023 I started working my way back from #1 and was getting increasingly more incensed at the heinous disrespect of Headhunter before I realised it must have just been for the US region only. We only got it in Europe. Death threats retracted. Respect for having Dynamite Cop so high, Die Hard Arcade is a banger in any form! Quote

DavidB6937 Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Dreamcast is the only old console I still have. I unashamedly love it. It's the perfect console for someone who adores arcade gaming with a few other treats thrown in there. I do miss the days of demo discs and stuff like that. Quote
Paid Members BomberPat Posted August 17, 2023 Paid Members Posted August 17, 2023 I bought a Dreamcast on a whim about ten years ago, and loved it, having never played one before, so it's not even something you could credit to nostalgia. So many of the games held up surprisingly well, and there were so many gems that have been kind of forgotten to time now. I didn't really have a choice but to sell it eventually while I was out of work, unfortunately, as it's a console I'd never have wanted to part with if I had a choice. Every now and then one pops up in CEX and I'm always tempted, but don't have the space to justify another console right now. That's one of the dreams for if and when we ever end up actually owning a house - to set up a decent range of retro consoles Quote
TheScarlettChad Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 Shame Dreamcast failed. If it had a dvd player in, it may have done better. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted August 17, 2023 Members Posted August 17, 2023 The Dreamcast was never ever going to compete with the PlayStation. It never had a chance at all. In fact, the one kid that did have one at my school had the piss mercilessly ripped out of him big time (kids are weird) I'm not saying that was right as its clearly a cracking little console in hindsight (and looks incredibly cool) but when all your mates had a PlayStation, it was hard to see how the Dreamcast would have that type of pull.

Merzbow Posted September 1, 2023 Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) This awesome 80's era WWF mod for No Mercy came out a couple of days ago! PC only and took me some tinkering but it's gorgeous with full music and even commentary, the Twitter account reposted a long tutorial which I only found after setting it up myself.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted September 2, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 2, 2023 Awesome tans on Hulk and Savage there! Quote
Merzbow Posted September 2, 2023 Posted September 2, 2023 My goal is to win the rumble from number 1 with Bossman. One thing I like is that everyone has tonnes of costumes from multiple years, 80's to 90's. Hulk alone has like 20. Quote
Paid Members FLips Posted September 10, 2023 Paid Members Posted September 10, 2023 Got an old Ferguson CRT TV at the Car Boot Sale for £5 today and to say I’m chuffed about it is an understatement. SNES looks beautiful on it. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted September 11, 2023 Members Posted September 11, 2023 This is a really fun read on a holy grail arcade machine. https://www.theguardian.com/games/2023/sep/11/the-quest-for-sky-skipper-the-rarest-nintendo-arcade-machine-in-the-world Quote
