NEWS: Idiot sells life to keep wife happy

[marc.williams]

I never get chance to play them these days, my job takes a lot of my time and the missus has a point that I only ever a few of them.

Nowadays I mostly use my Xbox, but I have retro fun on the Dreamcast. I was always one of the guys who said it would be a failure and that it was a Playstation copy with the flaws of a PC.

I will eat humble pie on this one and this, my collection is my tribute to Sega's last stand against against the dreadly poor N64 and the onslaught of the Playstation brand. The Dreamcast IS the best retro console and WILL be remembered (as with the SNK's Neo-Geo) with fondness by those people who played Sega games ON Sega hardware.

The N64 was an incredible console, with one of the most revolutionary controllers. In comparison Dreamcast's controller is crap.

Irony, eh? The Dreamcast controller despite its looks is very comfortable in comparison the N64 controller is as stupid as the Atari Jaguar controller. Nintendo must have aimed it mutants with three hands. Nintendo controllers have always been flimsey overrated things. I can't wait to laugh at the Revolution's controller when Nintendo finally unveil it.

Not wanting to start a rumour but does anyone actually believe that it has been designed so far or is this Nintendo's only way to get press write ups.

Nintendo is DEAD and as a retro console they are beyond poor. I wait to see my second flame on this topic... Go on plug your N64 into the TV count the polygons, my Megadrive can move polygons around the screen quicker.

Now count the frame rate, literally you CAN. What is that you say? 5 frames per second wow that's moving.

By the way only one day left on my auction...

no, two handed people are mutants.. only us nintendo fans have three hands apparently.

I personally I didnt like the N64 controller either, It worked well sometimes (Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart, and Zelda) but sometimes i wished.. neh... i LONGED for the days of my comfortable SNES pad.

The 1rst party DC controller WOULD have been fine if it didnt have that retarded cord coming from the bottem. I also liked the Larger Xbox controller as I was so used to the DC controller by the time I bought one...

anyway, we got off topic and now were talking about controllers...

This guy I like. Sega fan until the bitter end. That Dreamcast collection also forced me to put on a fresh pair of pants.

I think I'm gonna go play my Sega Genesis now...cuz it does what Nintendon't






Sonic always owned Mario

[Mental2k]

this is quickly turning into a nostalgia thread, i'm regaining that feeling I first got when sega stopped console production, and got again when I saw sonic on a ninty machine, frig must kurb my compulsion to collect things just this once, wonder how much i'd get for a complete collection of terry pratchett novels.

[marc.williams]

"wonder how much i'd get for a complete collection of terry pratchett novels."

They'd probably let you off with a caution. Nobody actually "bought" Pratchett novels.

[chronoswing]

Heh, he ended it early and cancelled the bids, I knew he couldn't give it up.

[DCDayDreamer]

What happened to cause the early cancellation of the auction?

[marc.williams]

We all know that it was worth more than what ebay buyers were offering. In accordance with the rules I withdrew it from sale with more than 12 hours to go. It might have gone higher in the last few minutes, but what's the likelyhood that itwould have increased by 2 grand? This doesn't mean it is not for sale or that I can't give it up.. for the right price.
