It's turrican.  It's old school gaming and pretty good... or at least as good as it used to br  . Did you open yours @targetrasp ?

This game is a lot of fun. The multiplayer on the bowser portion is pretty good as well.   The multiplayer is definitely better than Oddysey... where you only get to be the hat. The animation of Bowser and his attacks are pretty cool as well!

Definitely worth a buy or at least a play.

Do they still pay for themselves quickly?  I thought you pretty much had to use ASIC rigs to make it worthwhile  these days.

Looks like we need to continue in a Polymega topic, @targetrasp 

Editing... nevermind... it still hasn't shipped.  However, looks like we need a polymega topic 

I can't believe @Grindspine doesn't have a comment about a TMNT game 

[What does this mean for you?]

This just arrived in the mailbox... nails in the coffins:

We are closing PlayStation™Store on PlayStation®3 on July 2nd, 2021 and on PlayStation®Vita devices on August 27th 2021.

Thoughts, comments?  Post it up!

Holy crap. This is still sold out and it appears the situation is worse.  8 year old cards are even going for a couple hundy - confirmed by @targetrasp lol... I haven't bought a card In forever as I've been avoiding building.  Hard to believe the card is worth something this far in the game.

Mike Patton / Faith No More is pretty cool.  I thought the theme song was decent.  I think the styling of this game j's great... I'm surprised In some ways there is a market for this game and styling in 2021.  It's cool that many new games and genres have reached back to the styling games had in years past.   It's great that style hasn't died. 

@retro junkie - once you spend more time with it, I'm curious on what you think.

@targetrasp is polymega going to be a thing?

Lol. I held off... didn't want to spend money at the time on it... wish I would've.    I would've opened it and played it though... the collection of games on the mini are awesome.

Happy belated birthday @Snatcher_L !  I hope it Is and was awesome. Enjoy your digital cake!

If you receive the gift of gaming, post it up!

We just need to hurry up and build more chip manufacturing plants stateside.

There's definitely a lot of demand and opportunity for that right now. I don't know how long it would take to build a factory... but probably just in time for demand to drop off lol.

Did anyone see this?



It's been awhile since I've played a TMNT game. This actually looks like it might be decent.  It has old arcade style action... even one of the enemy guys are thrown at the screen.   This appears to be a throwback to the Super Nintendo Turtles in Time. It has somewhat of a classic theme as well.  @retro junkie - this one may be for you.

I figure @MegaDrive20XX will be tracking this game! 

Thoughts. Comments. Post it up

Happy birthday @gamingmaiden !  I hope it's a good one... and enjoy your digital cake! 

If you receive the gift of gaming, post up your loot!

I wish I would've picked one of these up... It looks like the value has jumped and it's harder to get them now.    I Couldn't pick one up around the time they came out and now it seems the boat has sailed.

Are you guys still enjoying the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini?

so... many months later... are you still under the impression you wish you skipped it? @targetrasp

How about you, @retro junkie ?

Man... my Doom Switch was supposed to be complete... and came cart only.   I did receive a pretty good deal... so I haven't returned it.  I'll probably keep it and try to get a new or complete version.  It seems that it is becoming more rare... so I won't lose money on my cart only version.

It is pretty cool to have Doom on a handheld like this...

I've been playing this a bit.  It's a good blast from the past.   I've mainly broke out Super Turrican for the time being.   Is it worth $30?  I don't know... I suppose it's cool to find all 4 games in a physical package.   That's cool...  I'm wondering if this game will become a rarity.

@retro junkie - Super Turrican is a fairly difficult game.. not sure how much exposure you've had to it... and I'm not sure how much there is between Super and Mega Turrican.   I'm not looking it up either... to see the difference when I get to Mega Turrican.

Yeah... that is hitting really hard right now.   It's pretty crazy how there's a shortage right now.   Automotive has demand right now and they cannot fill due to this shortage.   

Hopefully it's not hurting you guys bad right now.   

Yeah... some seem to have bot protection, but it only seems to keep humans from buying lol 

Ah... yeah... idk why I thought you had a Switch. @Grindspine   Once PlayStation 5 is able to be bought, you will be able tp use PlayStation 4 game discs in it. 

I'm thinking about picking up a PS4 copy as well.  Thinking about it...

Lol.. No because no @Grindspine 

I'm really hoping they add to it. But I thinj Wandavision is done.  It said series finale... then ending was pretty crazy. 

Spoiler: ShowHide

so... I'm not sure what happened to the white vision, aka cataract.  I have a feeling we are going to find out soon.
Seeing Wanda obsessively studying the book of the damned was a bit on the creepy side.  I didn't follow the comics intently, I'm sure there's a direction I am missing.  Hopefully she doesn't end up being on the bad side.  It's not looking good right now. 

Don't click this if you do not want spoilers.  Here's an interesting article on the finale:

@Grindspine LOL... yes... it does.

and no... the PlayStation 5 is huge.  It is bigger than the original PlayStation 3.  Check this link:
PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5 Size Comparison In Pictures - psu.com

yeah... it's hitting ever industry right now.   It's hard to believe you still cannot get a PlayStation 5 this far after launch.  I gave up trying to get one.  I simply lost care and I refuse to buy at the scalped price.   If no one bought the scalped prices... It wouldn't happen.  But that drive to have the current system is driving the scalpers.   

It's frustrating... but I simply won't buy and will wait. 

@Helskyth - Happy Birthday.  We hope it's a great day!   If you get the gift of gaming, post up your loot!

Also, enjoy your digital cake 

@Grindspine  Check the listing. It's on PlayStation 4, Switch, and Xbox One.  You have a Switch. Right?    I thought you did.

I preordered the Switch version. Im thinking of buying PS4 version as well... 

@retro junkie - yeah. I had to buy this one...

@CreepinDeth - how did you come up with what's in your spoiler tag?  I just caught up on all the episodes as of Friday.

This series has had so many twists in it now... it's pretty crazy. I'm not 100% certain where it is going after that last episode lol.  So... can't wait until the next one comes out.   I'm hoping they have a few seasons of this.  Not sure how long this one will last.

A little late on this one.  Happy birthday @SpartanEvolved !   I hope it was  good day.  If you get the gift of gaming, post up you loot!

WOW, they need to release this for the Switch.

@retro junkie -- check the link.   There is a switch version    I mentioned that in the previous post as well!    Do it... do it naoowww.

I'm pumped... I Think I'm going to pre-order for the switch... though I sort of want it for the PS4 as well.
