The Sega Saturn NetLink League

I still have a VHS tape with SNES Xband gameplay footage (SMK) on it that I'm hoping to get up over the next 2 months too.

Press Down twice, Left twice, Right, B at the main menu

Well it was just a little blurb and I pretty much typed everything that was there. So I have no clue. Maybe someday I'll find a Genesis Xband modem on ebay for a few bucks. I wanted to know if the SNES one had mini games too because I'm going to make a video for my youtube page showing off its menu...

Your modem (or theirs) would then dial up the other player, without either of you ever seeing the other's phone number. You wouldn't see the number, but you would hear the number being dialed. A lot of people would use a VCR to record the dialing, and then use hacked voicemail pager accounts to tra...

The xbands did remarkably well for having such slow maximum speeds. Lag was usually not a concern or something palpable enough to be a concern. I was reading an old Popular Science article from 1994, and it briefly covered how the guys at Catapult reduced the lag: "Games had to remain synchron...

Love the video man! My neighbor across the street used to have the Genesis one, but I completely forgot what the music sounded like. Fun stuff. Thanks again for putting this online!

Wait, so you're saying there's different music depending upon which menu/area you're in? If so, that's different than the SNES too. I believe it only has 4 songs too, but they just continually loop no matter where you're at.

Got any videos of the Genesis Xband captured yet?

It was only happening Sunday night. There were a few instances where the forum wouldn't load up.

Things seem to be fine now.

For anyone interested, I can capture videos of the Xband on Genesis within the next day or two. I was thinking about doing it for the Downloads section of the site anyway. Perhaps I'll do that and capture the audio by itself too. Please do! This would be another great piece of Xband history to put ...

Tons more videos up of the SNES Xband Experience on my YouTube channel

Yeah, it'd be nothing more than a collectors item now. If you can find it for under $5, sure, why not pick it up? Any more than that and it isn't worth it.

You can browse around on an Xband now, sure. But you can't connect to the server to get the Xband News Information or add players to your contact list.

I borrowed a VHS to PC recording device that works rather well from a co-worker. It certainly wouldn't do good with Hollywood VHS tapes, but does just fine for home recordings. Hope you're able to find one soon!

Hey guys, I finally found an old VHS tape with some actual in-game footage from the SNES Xband
