I'll have one taco, please.

SEGA CD in college? Wow, Fink is old.

;)

The Sega CD and 32X are unfairly reviled. A lot of people that make fun of them either weren't around at the time or have forgotten how advanced they were relative to when they came out. FMV games don't hold up today, sure, but they were a really big deal at the time and really did feel like an interactive movie. I rented the Sega CD for my Genesis many times and the games always impressed me, even the boring ones like Jurassic Park. The gameplay itself was never anything special, it was the presentation value. But then some games just kicked total ass like Final Fight CD, Sonic CD, Lunar, Snatcher, Silpheed, Microcosm, Mortal Kombat 2, and Rebel Assault.

Looks pretty awesome, not sure why the controller has a microswitch analog stick when none of the supported consoles ever had one. You can use the original controllers of course, it just seems like a very random choice for what looks to be an otherwise well designed system.

So, what do you think about the theory of the Star Fox team having prosthetic legs?

This is the first I'm hearing of it, do tell..

Finished Bioshock Infinite - Save spoilers for the Bioshock thread.

xhonzi! Y U No discuss Infinite?

Also getting back into RDR in a big way, especially trying to complete free roam challenges. Anybody got it and want to posse up?

It's too bad that Fives thinks he's too cool for gaming these days.

Look at his legs. I've heard they use prosthetic legs to keep blood from flowing to the legs in high g-forces, but I've also heard that the legs are somewhat of a tribute to puppet shows like the Thunderbirds.

Those kinda just look like fancy boots to me..

So..anybody excited for Farcry 3: Blood dragon? I don't know a whole lot about it but two words have me fairly excited - MICHAEL BEIHN.

Wow. I hadn't heard anything about it until now.

It seriously looks like one of the craziest, coolest things ever. The fact that the ever awesome Michale Beihn does the voice acting for the main character makes it even more incredible. It is a stand alone arcade game and not dependent DLC. I have hardly had any time to play games at all lately and am still working on finding the time to beat Infinite, but it is tempting to get this.

Not sure if the 3D works, but I appreciate the attempt. Would much prefer someone remade Out of this World aka Another World. Would work well with modern graphics or cell-shading and it's the same sort of style.

Fade To Black was a bit of a hit over here.

It was seen as being in the Resident Evil mode (though it came out slightly earlier as I recall) only not as good and with aliens.

I didn't buy the game but it but that's how I remember people reviewed it.

Then Resident Evil 2 and Parasite Eve 2 came out, by the time Dino Crisis came out it wasn't much talked about.

I've been tempted to get it once in a while but too many games, not enough time.

Outrunner They Recall.
