Atari Creep Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hey guys. Here is a sneak peek to all I got in the give away @StormSurge recently did in support of his Extra Life campaign. Figured I would start a new topic to give everyone that participated a place to show off their haul. Thanks you so much Storm, and all the best luck in your cause brother!!!!!

StormSurge Posted June 5, 2019 Report Share Posted June 5, 2019 Thanks Creep! I'm glad it showed up safely! Apologies to everyone who didn't get a note. I packed Creep's box first with the intentions of putting a note in all of the boxes, but that obviously didn't happen. 😔 (I just wanted to get them out as soon as possible.)

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Awesome stuff, Creeper! That memory card is a 251...it will hold lots of stuff. I'm using a 59 block memory card which Animal Crossing hogs the whole thing. Depending on the kinds of games you like to play GameCube has some decent titles. I'd keep an eye out for Metroid Prime, F-Zero (Sega made it!), and for a relaxing game, if you come across it, keep an eye out for Harvest Moon Magical Melody. You can do a lot in that game at your own pace. Need for Speed Most Wanted is not bad but the graphics look too Playstation-ish for my tastes. NFS Carbon rocks on that console! Let's see, that's an adventure game, racing games, strategy game...you need something arcade-ish. I believe Namco did a museum compilation for it. Platforms? I have not played any of the Mario games except for Paper Mario which was really cool. Zelda, of course, is on that console in many flavors. You might find the Intellivision Lives compilation on that system as well. Super Monkey Ball is odd but fun but I would recommend the Super Monkey Ball 2. It has more mini-games on it. If you can't find any local their are online options at least. GameCube games, however, are rising in value so any you find in the wild fairly cheap I would grab them up even if it would give you a duplicate or two. Duplicates you can use to trade or sell to help advance your GC collection. And those controllers, if they are original Nintendo GC controllers, are hard to destroy. It's OK StormSurge. It would be hard to do notes for all of them. I still have the notes you sent me when I modded your VCS. They are in a lock box to stay safe. Mine should be here on Monday (fingers crossed) provided Missouri doesn't get washed off the freakin' map.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Awesome stuff, Control Issues. I'm not a huge fan of Halo either. I'm more of a Borderlands person. My wife and I play that game religiously. Sports titles? Naa...but I do enjoy a good game of Tennis and Virtua Tennis (DC) and RS Tennis (2600 & 5200) are good games. I've recently been enjoying Rocket League and is probably the only sports game that I can say is a LOT of fun. I just can't pull off the same skills that I've seen others do in that game. Dreamcast? Most of the games on that Generation Disc are top-notch. You might try to keep an eye out for any Official Dreamcast Magazine discs as well. Some had full games on them where the magazine discs are the only way to get them. I love Genesis and have fond memories of the Master System...but I believe Dreamcast remains by favorite Sega system of all-time.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I didn't do a video but got some pics. Air*Sea Battle needs some TLC. Everything works and after a few minutes... the 360 cleaned up nicely. I also repaired the memory card flap (spring was still inside). Updates took a few minutes, though. Controller is my old 3rd-party wired controller that has issues so I'm going to have to track down some new/newer ones (wireless maybe?). I'm not a fan of Kinect but I might find some use for it. Forza Motorsport 4 I believe uses it. Included hard drive is a 20 GB model which will allow me to finally play games I own that require the hard drive...finally! Thanks you StormSurge!

What little I played of Infinite I liked but I've been holding off until I could play the first two just in case the story line is tied together.

StormSurge Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 The original is one of my favorite games ever. I never tried 2, since it wasn't made by the same team that made the OG, but I liked Infinite as well. I have the remastered versions of all three for the XBO, so I'll probably dive into those soon.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 The Halo Anniversary looks awesome! Improved visuals really gave that one a kick. StormSurge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Control Issues Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'm the same as @StormSurge Played through 1 and Infinite, but never tried 2. Both 1 and Infinite are great games, but I feel like of the two, I'd rather replay 1 more. StormSurge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I played about 10 minutes of BioShock 1 this morning. Made it to a spot where I seen the first large robot thing. I already jumped a few times from things being behind when I would turn to go in a different direction. Talk about coming out swinging! What little I've experienced I enjoyed. I plan to play this one more later but after I get setup to capture the footage. I found a new game to do a Let's Play series on. As soon as I upload the next Borderlands 2 video to my channel.
