This challenge icon looks great!

I fired off an email to a former Xbander that might be able to help get sprite rips. I'll let you know what I hear from him.

Hey, this would be really nice if it could happen. Thanks for attempting to make contact!

If he can do it quickly, great! I've started looking into ripping graphics, but I won't have much time available to me until tomorrow. Also, I have to finish getting the Genesis music to Krazy.

It will be a few weeks before I have some time to sift through parts. I can probably get you a pentium 3 / 4 running windows xp. You'd probably only be looking at 512 RAM. But i've got some decent video cards I can throw in there to help it run some good games. I'll see what I can do about getting it preloaded with some good stuff as well.

dude you are awesome!!!

pentium 4 with xp i believe is considerd one of the best pcs avalable. if you can find one, throw in an ATI radeon graphics card or an nvidia geforce

. i sent you my home address through your private messages, so check there when you need to know my address. if i may ask, what kind of brands of computers do you have?

Krazystyle83 · Post by **Krazystyle83** » Wed Oct 27, 2010 11:55 pm

Brand is all variant on the parts. I've got some Nvidia and ATI cards laying around. But most of the boards I have laying around are intel, or gigabyte. All of my better hardware is already strewn about setup in either my apartment for our development times, I always try to keep some spare hardware around for my friends if they have issues. LagunaCloud has had some bad luck with machines in recent times, from boards going out, to accidental dropping of a mac mini

But we've got enought hardware to get by, and then some.

I was an XBand-er back in the day. Being able to play NHL over the phone line was awesome (although it wasn't the exact speed as the normal gameplay). My buddy and I first saw the Xband promo video on a kiosk at the mall and immediately went to Electronics Boutique and bought them.

I still have mine in it's original box...I also have the keyboard that I ordered in it's original box (both for the Genesis). I'll post some pics here...

Hey Ranger, thanks for the pics! I feel like I remember playing against a RangerJoe back in the day... I had several accounts, POPhoto, NYI2112, Midnightstar, and Prime Mover, if I remember right. I believe I played a game or two of NHL '96, were you in the Long Island/NYC area?

You have a Genesis keyboard? Was it an adapter or a full-blown keyboard? And do you know of there was an SNES one?
