      From: shinnokxz@gmail.com              I bought a Sega Sports Dreamcast with four controllers, three or four VMUs,       and a slurry of about twenty games for $40 off a local yard sale Facebook       page, which I'd recommend people follow those types of groups because you       never know what turns up.               Some of the games included were white labels Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom 2       and The House of the Dead 2, and black labels of Shenmue and Jet Grind Radio.       What interested me a lot though was a a CD wallet of various demo discs, which       if I had the time        to go through might unearth some interesting beta/demo content that would be       fun to put on sites like Unseen64.              I'm not a collector (nor have an abundance of money) so obliging myself of       this was a stretch, since I already had packed away a first generation DC that       I saved up and bought when I was 12 or so. When I was especially broke as a       university student I did        stud out some of my rarer PSX games but most of it remains intact in tubs in       my storage. I couldn't hesitate to lift this guy of his games, since the DC       was an era of gaming I tend to remember a bit better than when I was supremely       young with a Genesis        and SNES (by the way, I threw out a shit load of old game boxes and manuals       for Genesis, SNES, and mostly N64 which until the day I die will forever kick       myself for)              *talks self down from ledge*                     Any who, there were humble bundle packages of Sega games released via Steam a       month or so back with free releases of stuff like Golden Axe and Jet Set Radio       that was cool to see that I got. The little emulator and added stuff they did       to make the games        have a modern (almost 'mobile' gaming marketing feel) was about the only grace       I had from Sega that seemed like they gave a crap about their fans.              Anyway, that's all I have to say about Sega. Seems like they've managed to       nuance and niche themselves into nothing but memories these days. I can't       imagine a day they could sit harder on the possibility of goldening their       brand at any given moment, but        alas, we must stomach more and more Sonic titles on Nintendo handhelds              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
