@CreepinDeth you are right... Episode 4 was awesome... what crazy ending.   Stupid Marvel Making Addictive series... I cannot wait to see Episode 5 now.

@retro junkie LOL... sorry man... I'm sure this post isn't helping either     It's pretty good.

@targetrasp @retro junkie  - I agree... I opted not to do this as well. I was tempted to try it... but once I saw they were going to charge as opposed to just a chance to test it out... I didn't feel like joining at this time.  It was a good decision as I don't have enough time to finish what I have at this point in my life.  That's frustrating... but life is life right now 

The price is quite high... I'm surprised more are paying that... but I'm not surprised for other reasons.   I REALLY wish people would stop paying scalpers... but I can also understand the reasoning to just buy.

I only know 4 people (in person and online) that have been able to acquire a PlayStation 5.  I have given up.   I think the cloud offerings are interesting... but IMO we have a long time until it is perfected.

Is anyone else playing this?!   Great topic @Bomber Man   This game is a lot of fun.   It is very intense as well lol... Tetris 99 is still my favorite, but I'm glad they added Pac-Man 99.

Yeah... it's interesting... the last PS4 game offerings also had a limited time to download (it appeared).   There was a message on the system to make sure to get them before the end of the month.

I am really looking forward to this game.  I won't pay full price... but this one is HEAVILY on our radar.

We are pretty close to platinum trophy-ing 2-3 other Lego games right now... so this one will be needed in the near future.

Lol.  Yeah. That is a game I need to put more time into as well. Tiny Metal was  great recommendation by @Frodus  not sure he if he just lurks now or what. But hopefully he sees it.

Alright... who is checking this one out?   So far, I think the Falcon and Winter Soldier is pretty great.   The Winter Soldier movies and episodes always tend to be a bit darker.  So far, the 1st 3 episodes are great.  I cannot wait until the next episode.  I really hope this is longer than 1 season.


Thoughts, comments... post it up!

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:

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
