Top Scratches, the bane of Retro Gamers and CD's
Hell Yes, you read my title just right, Top Scratches are HELL! How many here buy used games? Be careful or you may get yourself a disc with top scratches. Know how to tell? hold the disc up to light with the label side away from you. If there is a part of the silver part of the disc you can see lig...

Re: This is driving me nuts... (3DO Samurai Shodown port)
I can actually understand SNK's rationale. Licensing ports to other consoles earns you money, but on the other hand, you don't want to create your own competition. But while I understand it, I don't think it really makes sense. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't get the sense that a port being arcade-per...

Re: Killing Time PC patch for Windows 7
Hmm, I have never actually played the PC Version of Killing Time. Perhaps I should track it down and try it. I know I have seen it and checked out the differences between it and the 3DO game, so might be worth playing anyway. Having a patcher like this is useful except that I am running crappy Vista...

Re: Doom on 3DO
A lot of the homebrew scenes idolization in the Jaguar community comes from largely, such a small library with so few good titles so anything that does come out gets gobbled up quick. Maybe the 3do does not attract much homebrew is because there is a relatively large and excellent library for it. A...

Re: Giving Killing Time another chance
I agree with T2KFreeker. Killing time is an excellent game from what I've seen so far. I was initially put off buying it as is seen it described as a pseudo sequel to Escape From Monster Manor. So I bought EFMM first and thought it was more a tech demo than a game, I got bored of it very quickly. I...

Re: Best picture quality? How do you 3DO?
Well, after playing D last night, I can tell you that my set up isn't exactly perfect. It was cool to play the game again, for sure, but on this set up, the game is Ugly as Sin! Maybe it's always been that way? I find it hard to believe though as I always thought the game was actually quite a good l...

Re: Doom on 3DO
As much more popular this system was than the Jaguar I am surprised there is not a more active homebrew scene. It looks like even the Jaguar may soon have Chocolate Doom ported to it. How accurate are the emulators for 3do? From what I understand, they are pretty good, actually. I wouldn't know as ...

Re: Seal of the Pharaoh
After actually getting a copy of this again, I have been playing it and the game is quite a bit more enjoyable than I remember. Not too bad. Not the deepest thing ever made, but enough to really make me curious to see the ending.

Most of us in the Turbografx community refer to these people as "Collectards".

I know it has some framerate issues, but still, the game is tops. I'm glad that Gunstar gave it another shot. It's one of those games I would track down th...

Re: Best picture quality? How do you 3DO?
I just use composite for my 3DO as it happens, straight from the 3 phonos at the rear, to the phonos on the front of the TV (CRT). The picture quality is surprisingly decent for Composite IMO. EVERY other console I have is hooked up via RGB SCART via powered multi-SCART blocks, for the best possibl...

I understand where you both are coming from. The big thing with the 3DO boxes is that the top half of the boxes are generally empty, leading to some much uglier damage.
