Kikoskia, you need to remove the 32X in order to get normal Virtua Racing to work.

Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker

I have no idea what "snooker" is, but it sounds hilarious. Therefore I must get this game simply to display it on the shelf.

[Kikoskia]

Right. I'll do that.

And as for Snooker? It's the game that Pool was based off of. Bigger table, smaller pockets, a lot more balls and generally more complicated.

If you've ever watched some Pool Tournamnets and seen a guy called Steve Davis, he was a snooker player before he became a pool player. Since the table is smaller and the pockets bigger in Pool, many Snooker players are also good at playing Pool.

And a s arandom tidbit of info, Jimmy White and Steve Davis are both good at Poker. Jimmy White won a Poker Tournament over here and won £250,000. Steve Davis was 3rd, both being on the final table together.

On your VR for MegaDrive, Kikoskia: you do know that it won't work through a 32X, right?

[Kikoskia]

Yeah, I know that now, it was pointed out to me. It works fine without it though. And I DO have Virtua Racing Deluxe.

[Joe Redifer]

I have a feeling I am on Genesis Knight's "ignore list" since he seemed to miss my reply about Virtua Racing and also my reply about saving with the Game Genie in that thread.

[Genesis Knight]

Meh, don't be so sensitive. =P The VR think was just a little oversight on my part, but I think I raise an entirely new question with my Game Genie post. No one had yet addressed a possible difference between the Gold and black versions of the GG.

[Joe Redifer]

I was just checkin'! I didn't even know there were different versions, though this isn't the proper thread for that discussion so I'll stop here.

Came in the mail today:



Giga Wing 2 for the Sega Dreamcast, $46 with shipping.

The copy was only used 4-5 times in its life, according to the seller (he was the orginal buyer of this game).

[Dartagnan1083]

I know that and you know that. But back before it was released, Sega advertised Spellcaster as the sequel to Phantasy Star.

if anything, it might have been advertised as being from the creators of Phantasy Star.

Reiko Kodama was involved in the design aspects of the early PS titles as well as Mystic Defender (perhaps spellcaster as well).

But still, knowing that Sega turned 'Magical Hat' into 'DeCapAttack' I can probably believe that they'd try to advertise pseudo sequels.

[Joe Redifer]

They never said "from the creators of Phantasy Star". I remember them saying "sequel" or "follow up" somewhere.

Today the following AWESOME games came:
Mega Turrican - (Exactly like a Metroid game in every way except for all of the differences)
Side Pocket
Out Run 3D - (Sega Master System, now I have all 3D games unless there is something that is extremely unknown).

[David J.]

I would love to see that advertisment.
How much did Outrun 3D set you back?

[Joe Redifer]

$30.

[DigitalSpace]

Arrived in the mail the other day:

SNES:
Super Off Road: The Baja (loose) - $3.50 shipped

[Joe Redifer]

Tempo came in the mail day.

Oh c'mon, you gotta say it right...

Tempo's in the house tonight!
