Slim pickings at my local thrift stores. The only thing I did pick up was a vertical stand for my PS2 fat model. At least it was free * shrugs*

Ok so who else had to put their ps1 upside down for it to work?

My brother’s best friend had to put his leaning at a 45 degree angle with 4 VHS tapes. 3 or 5 wouldn’t work. Had to be the sweet spot of 4 lol

SNK...please work with this team to make this become a reality.

Playing The Firemen on my snes mini.

Pretty addicting game.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it never came out in the US.

Anyone ever play Cadillacs and Dinosaurs?

I never had that problem but one of my friends did, lol.

On another topic, I saw a bunch of really cool boxed snes games at the thrift store. The problem?....the manager hasn’t “researched” them to give me a price on the spot. He moved the games into his office

I knew someone that turned their PS1 upside down, that didn't HAVE to turn it upside down, and they ended up scratching their Twisted Metal in the process.

That's a great game Bend_The_Knee one of the better Capcom beat 'em ups/brawlers from the 90s.

This was a fun one to rent back in the day
I also enjoyed most of the Marvel titles on the Genesis.

Didn't make it to home consoles my G Bend_The_Knee .

Due to licensing issues it'll be a tough one to make it to any home releases or compilation discs.

I may be in the minority here but I thought this game was utter crap. The Hulk was so damn frail and the platforming was very un-Hulk-like.

There was an Xbox or Xbox 360 game that did a better job with the Hulk.

Yea, Top Hat discussed this in his video for the game. It didn't make it home.

DCAllAfrican this was a Japanese release right? They give no damns about Western copyrights.

FirePro games were super blatant, I think you just had to rename the wrestlers and that was it.

Good day today! I picked up some SNES games and 2 controllers for just $20, manager hook up

-Donkey Kong 1, 2 and 3. All in og box
-Super Mario World + Mario All Stars
-Super Mario Kart
-Scooby Do Mysteries
-Tetris Attack

Edit: They also had the slimmer 2nd version Sega Genesis for $15 but I passed since it was just the console. No power cord, video cable or controller.

CRT TVs and sitting that close to them

 

[jayt1202]

A friend of mine had one of those cabinet CRT TVs with the Genesis console on top so of course the controller cables hung down over the TV while we played lol and smh. The struggle was real. I remember a good amount of times playing Street Fighter and blaming the controller cable being in the way when I lost.

Joint was similar to this one so only way to connect the console was placing it on top of the set.
