Re: Sega Netlink is back!

Guys, I have to say...this is totally awesome. I used to play NetLink when I still had a dedicated landline, but since switching over to a VOIP telephone system I was never able to get a good enough connection to sustain any games other than ones that were within my city. Seeing all the work you've ...

The Saturn was really the only successful SEGA system in Japan. Even the Mark III/Master System sold worse in Japan than it did in America. The Dreamcast had promise, but was unable to compete with its lack of a DVD drive. The Mega Drive/Genesis didn't do well there initially because really, the sys...

I saw a video on Youtube of an AT&T level, though. Was that on the disc, too? And do you have any of the codes handy/know how to input them? Yeah, the downloads were always small (they had to be, to be downloaded over a 56K modem and saved onto a VMU) and really only consisted of a few flat ima...

I never had a VGA adapter back in the day, but last year I bought one and I haven't looked back since. It really does make a big difference. Edges are that much sharper, and colors reproduce a lot smoother and richer compared to composite. I've got it hooked to my 40" 1080P Sony HDTV, and games...

I bought my Dreamcast day and date 9/9/99. I'll never forget that day. I was also lucky enough to rent one when Hollywood Video was demoing them in the summer of '99. Never before or since was the graphical leap as pronounced from generation to generation as it was with the Dreamcast compared to 32/...

Your brother's confusion might be over the fact that Quake runs on the same engine as Duke Nukem 3D (which itself was a modified Powerslave) and thus theoretically could have transitioned to NetLink a little easier with Nukem's back end. Thus, it was not the case. That doesn't rule out the possibili...

Throw it up on eBay...I bet someone would pay $40 for it, haha! Cool to actually see a legit Sega receipt for this relic of all relics. I always wanted the game back in the day, but considering I hardly even knew anyone who owned a Saturn, let alone ANYONE who owned a NetLink for it, the investment ...

Well, over Christmas (which is awhile ago, now!) I finally was able to sit down and catch up with my old Dreamcast. It was pretty great. I brought in my suitcase a handful of games I'd always been meaning to master, and finally I had the chance to crack a lot of them. I first fired up Ecco: Defender...

I've been buying a lot of random stuff to start filling in the holes in my collection. Bought some complete 32X games like After Burner, Supreme Warrior and WWF Raw. Bought a whole bunch of complete SEGA Mark III and SG-1000 games. I'm really excited to give Zaxxon a spin on the good old SG-1000. I ...

Both auctions were a waste of time. This is a game that is going to sell big, so list it at $0.99 with no reserve and let it fly. Stupid the kind of money these people are expecting when, really, they probably got both copies for peanuts. There was a time when I'd pay $300 for something like this, b...

Man, I'd definitely be up for this! I was going to just start playing the single player game by myself just to get a feel for how the game would have been like, but it would be awesome to play it with all you guys. I'm just going through the old Phantasy Star games right now to gear up for this. :) ...

I haven't played MKR yet, but I do proudly display it in my collection. There are too many games to play, and since most of the ones I'm aiming to play are RPGs that means it'll take much longer to finally get to playing all the ones I want. Right now I'm actually working my way through the Phantasy...

As much as I want to support SEGA, the game will be so mass produced that it'll be going for $10, tops, a few months after release. Look at how easy it is to get a copy of SEGA Superstars Tennis. That said, I'll definitely be getting it at that point. Superstars Tennis was a wonderful menagerie of o...
