[Dreamcast Seems to be Having Issues]

That's my problem, though. I can't afford another one. Not for awhile, at least.

 

I managed to get Virtua Tennis to load again, but it keeps resetting at the title screen, so I think that it must be a faulty disc.

 

The Utopia boot disc still works fine, too, so maybe I'm dealing with scratched game discs or something.

UPDATE: The Utopia Boot Disc still works, and a PAL game has booted up perfectly. I'm at a complete loss to understand why it's loading PAL games, but not NTSC.

I've already posted elsewhere that a copy of Virtua Tennis I bought this week continuously reboots to the main menu when I try to play it.

 

After some playing around and trying to get things to work, it seems my problem is getting worse. Now my copy of ChuChu Rocket won't load. I fear my Dreamcast may be kicking the bucket, and I'm not sure what to do. I can't afford to replace it.

 

UPDATE: The Dreamcast is now refusing to load any of my games. Anybody got any ideas?

[Thrift Store Finds]

I figured that's what I'll try. The store has a ten day warranty for all games sold, so I'm gonna try to get back there this week and see what can be done. Will keep ya'll updated.

It seems I bought a lemon. Virtua Tennis keeps resetting after I start it up. Any suggestions?

Visited a retro game store today. Here's what I got.

 

Virtua Tennis and that perennial Game Boy classic, Tetris.

I gotta new find comin' in probably next week from Ebay... Phantasy Star Online for the Dreamcast, a game I've had on my radar for a long time now. Will post pics when it arrives.

 

Got it for a cool $11.

[Any Sony PSP collectors?]

I'd be happy to give your extra National Treasure 2 a loving home.

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

I wish I could have gotten one.

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

ONLY THIS TIME, I'll be prepared, dammit. I'LL BE READY, NINTENDO! I'll preorder six months early if I have to.

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

Great, yet ANOTHER device I'll NEVER own. While they're at it, why don't they give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?

[In need of some major help? Should i buy?]

That Play Choice looks cool.

[Buried Gaming Treasure]

Wishing you luck with this!!

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

I'm clinging to a faint sliver of hope around the words, "for the year" in the update from Nintendo about the discontinuation. That and the even more telling line over in Japan that the Famicom Mini will probably return to production at a future point implies that MAYBE Nintendo is trying an Atari Flashback tactic, that of limiting sales to holiday periods only?

 

On the other hand, I'm probably just kidding myself.

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

I guess I should just give up hoping I'll get a Switch, too. Don't look now, it'll probably be discontinued next week.

 

 

Feeling cynical, right now. This has ruined my day.

[Nintendo is Discontinuing the NES Classic Edition]

I'm completely honest here... This is heartbreaking for me. I remember being so excited when I learned the Mini was coming out the weekend of my birthday, only to be extremely disappointed that I couldn't find one anywhere. I WANT ONE SO BADLY.

 

I don't guess I'll ever get one now.

[Any Sony PSP collectors?]

I love the PSP, ever since I bought one with my own birthday and Christmas money back in 2009. Great system, I only wish I had more games for it. My PSP library is extremely small.

[My Great Week On eBay]

Those magazines!! I'm jealous.

[Anybody Here Know Anything About Defective Playstation Games?]

Update: I was able to procure a replacement disc 1, and the game works like a charm.

[eBay Finds]

never heard of those ...... gatta youtube it now

It works with the Game Boy Advance to do AMAZING things like play NES games, add stuff to Pokemon games, add new levels to Super Mario Advance, and, if you have the GameCube/GBA connector cable, it can be used to add cool stuff to games like Animal Crossing.

I'm with you on Gyromite, Kamakazi. If Nintendo had at least bothered to make more than just TWO games for ROB, then it would have at least make him somewhat useful. Instead, beside being a neat concept, the execution fell completely flat.

 

That said, I TOTALLY want my own ROB. Ugh, he's too EXPENSIVE.

[eBay Finds]

My latest Ebay find. The wonderfully obscure, possibly cheesy, and totally awesome Nintendo e-Reader. A darn shame this thing never made a bigger impact. It's delightfully high-tech in a Nintendo kind of way.

 

Anyway, it comes with Clu Clu Land-e, Donkey Kong Jr.-e, Tennis-e, and Manhole-e.

All this for just $16.99.
