Maybe that is what it was that I am thinking of.

I could swear my original US release had some weird combo of the two. I gave away 90% of my PS1 and PS2 games last year so I can’t check now, but I really think it had the main image shown from the Japanese release on the case. Maybe the image was shown in game on the loading screen or something and I am just remembering it wrong.

Thanks for reminding me that Megaman actually talked like that in the awful Saturday morning cartoon I watched as a kid (Captain N: The Game Master)

This looks great, but I also understand why you got rid of it. I had to do the same and gave away all of my retro systems and CRTs all the way back to my Atari 2600. It just took up too much space for how little it was being used so I wanted that stuff to be in the hands of someone that would hopefully enjoy it.

It just barely makes the cut off since it came out in 99, but Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri is my favorite strategy game of all time. It even managed to get a Linux port and you can get it on GOG. I was excited when Civ: Beyond Earth was announced that it would be a true successor, but sadly it wasn’t even close.

I’d have said Twisted Metal 2, but the first game was still very fun.

When my local arcade was shutting down around 2000 or so I almost bought their 4 player Gauntlet machine for really cheap. I had to decline once I realized that I didn’t have a way to get it home and my front door was too small to fit to through.

I still have my copy, but come on, this game is bad and should feel bad.

Great, now I’ll have the music from this game stuck in my head all day

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Edit: nevermind, this was already posted. I literally did a search on the page first and it didn’t match for some reason.

MBR is on my coding playlist for sure

When programming I tend to like music that is instrumental, like synthwave and chiptunes, as well as some light on vocals trip hop and industrial. I can listen to rock and metal too, but it tends to grab my attention more than I like when I am trying to get in the zone.

I don’t know man, I was in a lot of arcades in the 80’s and most of them were either the cliche dark rooms with neon or kid first places like Chuck e Cheese or the (more fun) arcade plus go kart-style places. Can’t watch much of the video because Youtube has been intentionally crippling my viewing on Firefox.

I am also an enthusiast of the… dinosaur of similar words

Interesting. If that is so, then I am surprised that neither actually support actual lossless at that res without blowing up the noise floor.

Oh, so they aren’t on bluetooth at all? That is an entirely different story, thanks for the info.

AFAIK, ALAC will not be actually lossless over bluetooth for the sames reason LDAC can’t be lossless; there simply isn’t enough bandwidth. That doesn’t mean that it won’t sound great or perhaps work better than LDAC.

It’s nearly lossess if you can connect and maintain a 990kbps connection, but it still doesn’t have enough bandwidth to do it truly lossless. I think it would require 1411kpbs to be actually lossless. It is still better than any codec I know of for bluetooth as far as that does, but bluetooth just kinda sucks for that sort of application.

Not sure if it is considered particularly obscure, but mine would be Rock n’ Roll Racing on SNES. The game was like an improved RC Pro Am from the NES with vehicular combat and a great metal/rock soundtrack (hence the name).

Question: Are we being thrown in to the game as one of the other existing characters?

If so, then it really matter which character.

If I am Linus I try to get a shave and maybe a checkup at a free clinic. It’s a long road ahead.

If I am Abigail, I play some Chrono Trigger and do some sword practice.

If I am the Mayor, I GET MY GOD DAMNED UNDERWEAR BACK! :)
