We couldn't exactly afford bundles of games, but most of the games we did have were awesome - Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage, Earthworm Jim, ToeJam and Earl.

Yeah, Gamecube holds up very well. N64, on the other hand... with those controllers...

Phantasy Star, Shining Force, Landstalker. First party sport games were pretty great too - much better than Nintendo sport game attempts.ABNorman wrote:We couldn't exactly afford bundles of games, but most of the games we did have were awesome - Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage, Earthworm Jim, ToeJam and Earl.

That's true.. but I don't recall it being a problem .. unlike N64's ever loosening joysticks and weird claw shapeCopperTom wrote:The GameCube's Z-button and tiny d-pad suck in retrospect.tree_ wrote:Yeah, Gamecube holds up very well. N64, on the other hand... with those controllers...

All consoles are portable if you're willing to unplug them.

Re: Video Game Tournament Draft: Durds' Pick!
There was a screen for the most recent PS1’s and for PS2’s. I want to say the Dreamcast had one too.
I used the PS1 one once back in like 2002, the screen resolution sucked.
The N64 and Gamecube controllers were both abominations, but the WII and Switch aren’t much of an improvement. The OG Xbox was a ginormous piece of shit but the 360 was a little better. The PS dualshock pretty much perfected game controllers though if you ask me.
Oh also Durden texted me and said he wants to pick Bubsy 3D.

I bet that's a 1080p screen too.
