well. anymore?  Not sure who has an original Sega CD.   I had a couple go through the shop, but they were a bit rare.  I bet @retro junkie would be our best bet these days if anyone had one LOL.

Definitely a cool piece... it makes me want to buy one.   I've had a bit of the Rambo 3 and General Chaos itch lately 

I ended up buying this game for the PlayStation 4 and Vita from the PlayStation Store.  I wanted the physical copy, but it was more than I wanted to spend.  There are a couple versions of the game for sale:

Super Hydorah Limited Classic Edition - Playstation 4 (Limited Run Games) - Amazon.com

• Limited to 2,000 copies available worldwide. Region free.
• Includes game and SNES-inspired outer box, CD soundtrack, and 18 x 24 inch fold-out poster.

Super Hydorah - Playstation 4 (Limited Run Games) - amazon.com

Super Hydorah Limited Run #149 -PS Vita - Amazon.com

This game is quite a bit like Gradius Galaxies - for the GBA I think it is.  The 1st few waves of enemies are almost identical.  Muscle memory kicked in ... it was weird. Reminded me exactly of Gradius.... but other parts of the game are 100% unique.  I posted this somewhere on a steam comment as well.

Here is the steam store link:
Super Hydorah - store.steampowered.com

Also, here's the Abylight Studios link:

If you're a Shmup fan, this game is worth a try.  I Think I bought it on PlayStation Network for $12 something... I Could be wrong on that.  I don't normally see it under $20.  Obviously you'll have to pay upwards $60-100 for physical copies... and the Super Nintendo Box version looks pretty cool.  I'm definitely a Shmup fan... and the Gradius style is a lot of fun.  The weapons system is different.  There are a lot of other differences as well - and enough to keep any Shmup fan interested for a long time.  I hope they keep making more titles like this.  It seems we have had a resurgence of Shmup titles.

Old topic resurrection.

@targetrasp PSO multiplayer?

@Strubes Any links for this?   I took a little and didn't see a title.

yeah.... I haven't got into statuary as well.   I know @Aya-Kun has an amazing collection.  Not sure how many others this would appeal to... $350 is a ton of money.  Dark Siders is a decent game... but not sure it would be worth buying the collectors piece.

Still bravo for doing something cool.

Good... Bad... or indifferent - it doesn't have to be the most mind blowing experience you had (This topic will come later)... what was your 1st Arcade experience?

We are continuing the Arcade Discussion... Also, please see the If You Could Buy 1 Arcade Cabinet Right now - What would you Buy? topic and post up.

@Grindspine it's gone... but I do have espresso 101 AND Some of their New Red Panda lol   They're both tasty....

I did that with Samurai Shodown for the Neo Geo MVS.  I was hooked at that point... absolutely hooked.

It appears the Youtube poster has been cut-off... that somewhat sucks,  but I don't know If they stole that video or the content?  Or maybe something else happened... I Didn't look it up though.

@CreepinDeth it is interesting... on Amazon prime and other music services, you won't be able to find the original Megadeth Rust in Piece CD.  You can only seem to buy the Digital Remastered...and there are some parts with significant sound changes.  Some of the parts, I like the original better by far.  There are some other parts where I thought they need updating.

In the same case... Video Games.  It would be really cool if Nintendo would offer a consistent services.  Here's what I mean.. I bought a bunch of Virtual Console games on the Wii.  I realllllly wish I could use them through the switch.  Maybe I can?  I didn't think so... but I feel I should be able to because I paid decent money back in the day to get those.  It would be cool for there to be a vault of some sort - and to ward off Rot as you mentioned, creepin.

It would also be cool for many of those games to be updated and playable online.  For example, many of the old NES games... you could play 2 player coop online, or play against other people.  Super Nintendo F-Zero... same thing.  That would be cool.  Not sure how long it would last or the type of traffic it would receive.. but that would be cool.  This is a bit outside the discussion of this topic though.

Double Dragon arcade was A LOT of fun.  I remember playing that game at Hotels as we travelled to see family in other places.    Now, you rarely see an arcade anywhere you travel.  Same thing with Nam 1975, operation Wolf, and Golden Axe.    The 1st time I played Super Mario Bros was in a hotel... life was changed after that lol.

They could definitely be good gifts.  They aren't too expensive and they contain really unique items... so unique, many cannot seem to be found outside these boxes.

Subscribing to them every month... I Couldn't imagine having all that stuff sitting around.  The socks wouldn't  be sitting around though... but they just aren't work attire either lol 

Those videos are pretty cool.  Guava Juice had a couple different ones too... the Ebay mystery boxes.   Crazy enough... $10,000 and $20,00 mystery box.  I have no idea who would spring for those outside of shows.   Heck... over $50, I really want to know what I'm getting.  I Think he may have done a $100k box as well.   in one of his boxes, he made out a ton on  bitcoin that had massively appreciated.

Lol @targetrasp ... I'm free. Play me.  I'm fun. Do it... do eeett nowww.   Get to da choppa! 

LOL... I still need to do that at the current place.  I want to build a book shelf.. we really need a place for all of our books.  That's the main reason I haven't bought into any of the Loot Crates.   The Star Wars editions were really tempting and had cool Loot.  But... I just don't have the space nor want to continually store a lot of "crap" around the house... as cool as some of this stuff is.

I don't judge anyone for buying into these... some of the stuff looks pretty cool and unique.

It would definitely free up some space, that's for sure... but the "sound bar" it pretty large and there's short cable attaching it to the TV.   The larger components and connections of the TV are housed in the larger sound bar.

I agree though... $13000...  is ridiculous.

I plan to keep rocking my plasma for a long time... even though I'd like to venture into the 4K realm at some point in the future.  The TV will have to meet the build quality of the Plasma I currently own though.  It won't be as heavy... they just aren't as heavy... that's not totally a bad thing.  but I don't want to give up the sturdiness.

LOL... not even a go at it, @targetrasp ?

I Thought they already did base building... but I guess the introduction to base building is in Beta now... along with vehicles... which were there a long time ago, but removed lol.

Hey @SpartanEvolved   

I hear you... I Thought I was the last person to keep an eye on it.  I probably forgot about it now for over 1 year.     Hate to say it... it's exiting to see it in Beta now LOL 

I'm going to give it a little run for its money.  It would be cool to see the new features.

As mentioned in the FortNite PS4 - How many of you play? topic... Cross play has been working well lately.


We have now tested... PlayStation 4 playing with Cell Phone, Switch, AND Xbox One.  They all work together.  FortNite is not my favorite game... but it is fun to get a squad together here and there to play.  It's interesting that so many platforms play well together.  Honestly... this should be how gaming comes together online.

Also, since Nintendo Switch Online is active... you do not have to pay for Nintendo Switch online to play FortNite online on the Switch.   FYI.

@Grindspine ... you can join up with us.  Cross play now works across all systems... PS4, Xbox, PC, and Switch.   Maybe we could get a squad with @targetrasp

@Aya-Kun Did you try it anymore?


I wish we could get @mastermario playing as well lol... but he seems to shun the game.

The Zombies mode was a lot of fun.  I'm going to miss that ... it added an extra fun dimension to the game.  I wish they would keep that mode... or maybe do it once a month.

If anyone played the old Arma 2 Dayz Mod... you probably felt the excitement once Dayz Standalone was announce and then released.   Months and years went by... still in Alpha... adding weapons and miscellaneous items that just didn't make sense or add to the game.  Honestly... I thought this game was going to stay in Alpha and end up being one of the Early Release games that just die.    This game lost all its support and fan base has dwindled.

NOW... on November 7... it's announced that Dayz exits Alpha and enters Beta with a large update:
DayZ finally enters beta and rolls out some early mod tools - steampowered.com

SAY WUT?!??!   This came out of no where... at least for me.  I quit watching releases of Dayz news a long time ago.  Is there hope?  I don't know.  I just re-downloaded the game and I'm going to check it out

Who used to play the Arma 2 Dayz Mod?   Who has trolled around in Dayz Standalone?

This looks pretty cool... and their showing of GUnstar Heroes really makes me want to play that game again.  I had it on Virtual Console I believe on the Wii?  I haven't played it since then. 

It looks like the 32X won't work with it right off the bat... but there are adapters for Sega Master System and it appears for Sega CD as well?  That sounds pretty cool.

yeah.. I think the last guide I bought was the special edition Star Craft 2 guide... and that was a impulse buy at $30.... but it was a really cool hard bound guide.

LOL... exactly.   My Son lost his Animal Crossing DS.  So I bought him another one for Christmas... cart only... from Santa.  Man... I paid $40 cart only for the DS Animal Crossing Wild World.   Insane... yes... but we all had a lot of fun playing it together and going to each other's towns.

When I was younger...  I probably would've narrowed it to Total Carnage or Smash TV... though I dug Super Smash TV better than the arcade.  I really always wanted an original Samurai Shodown Arcade machine.

After Burner Arcade machines were awesome... I'd love one of those machines that moved with the game actions.  When I was super young, a Double Dragon, Golden Axe, or Super Mario Brothers arcade machine would've been perfect. 


You are both right.  It's very hard to narrow to one.  Hm... does a NEO GEO MVS cabinet with multi-select count as just one??  If so, I might pick a 6 slot Neo Geo MVS arcade machine hehe with Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown, and a fee other games lol.

Un Squadron was the game I was thinking for this topic.  I really like the Super Nintendo version better. But I would like a UN Squadron dedicated cabinet. 

When we moved, I handled the plasma.  But I had to hold it odd - definitely not proper. It was cussing at myself left and right because I thought I was going to break it lol. I probably should've broke it ... thankfully I didn't.   It's a heavy frickin TV, but it's solid. 

You're right. The tv's today are easier to handle.  We bought a couple smaller tvs...  and every one we received had to be returned except 1 because they just broke. Samsung tvs too.

If You Could Buy 1 Arcade Cabinet Right now ... What would you Buy?     Not sure if I would say unlimited funds... but what the heck.  If you had the choice of 1 Arcade cabinet right now and you could get it, what would you get?

This is the topic of the week and was announced.  If you haven't been here in awhile, drop by, post up, and say hi!  We want to hear from you!

You pay for the print and features, that's for sure... but it's a cool Collectors Edition Guide for a current $70.29.  Right now on Amazon.com, there is an addition $4.31 off as well for the Fallout 76: Prima Official Platinum Edition Guide.

Fallout 76: Prima Official Platinum Edition Guide - Amazon.com

Personally I cannot see myself buying a strategy guide for $70.... not sure if anyone else thinks it is worth it or not.
