   Bouncers (Sega CD, Complete) $10.   
      
   Finally, something I might actually use my 4-Player adapter for someday,   
   maybe.   
      
   Puggsy (Sega CD, Complete) $10.   
      
   Bought it because it was in great condition for only $10.  I played it   
   for a while yesterday, it seems like a very unorthodox platformer and   
   its presentation is top notch.  Unfortunately I cannot find any evidence   
   of the reputed "high color" level/screen anywhere on the net.   
      
   Formula One (Genesis, Boxed), the 3D racer from Domark, $10.   
      
   This one is just plain awesome, every Genesis owner should have a   
   complete copy right along side Super Monaco GP.  I can't call it fully   
   3D because there are no panning replays, which Virtua Racing invented if   
   I recall correctly.  All the same, this one is stunning to see in motion   
   on real hardware.   
      
   Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (DC, Complete), Free from my father in   
   law for setting up his 47" LCD correctly.   
      
   What Tomb Raider and Soul Reaver on Dreamcast should have been, stunning   
   visuals and that classic Prince of Persia controls in full 3D.  I prefer   
   Arabian Nights over the more cinematic-dependent PS2/Xbox era games.   
      
   Yet to arrive:   
   Genesis:   
   Beyond Oasis, $5   
   *I am interested in trading my current cart with minor cart label damage   
   to whoever wants it.*   
      
   Thunder Force II (Boxed), $5   
      
   Something I have wanted for a very long time and kept passing up.   
      
   Wonderboy in Monster World (Cart Only), $3   
      
   I've never played this one for long, I'm looking forward to checking it out.   
      
   Saturn:   
   Alone in the Dark: One Eyed Jack's Revenge (Complete), $7   
      
   I can't remember why I wanted this one other than that I think it   
   predates Resident Evil, and wasn't sloppily ported from the PS1.  Those   
   are two bits of information I have yet to confirm though.   
      
   MS USB Sidewinder Wheel and Pedals, $29.50. Now I have two wheels and   
   one set of pedals, neato.  Which is Directly Sega Related because I'm   
   going to use it on the HTPC/Mamebox for playing Sega Arcade and PC   
   titles.  I may even try out some console emulators with it at some point.   
      
   Grand Total: $79.50   
   That's a hell of a lot more stuff than I could have gotten if I bought a   
   "new" game this Christmas.  Also, having the chance to online race Bel   
   with a force feedback steering wheel in Outrun 2006 or Sega Rally Revo   
   is priceless.
