Also using the Random play feature on the Everdrive leads to a lot of horrible games being Randomly chosen.

So I'm at the point of figuring out "How do I curate this shit?"

The only Cart I have at the moment is an Everdrive X7.

All I've done so far is a folder for all Shmups for on the System, a Folder for everything announced for the Genesis Mini. Another folder with games from Metal Jesus'...

Reason being, M2 is doing the software end of things and M2 are GOD, I want to see what features it's going to have soon though, Can we make it sound like a Model 1 or Model 2? Scanlines, monitor simulation? I'd love those things.

Pretty solid game line up too. Mega Man Wily Wars getting an official US release for the first time. Castlevania Bloodlines, Gunstar Heroes (M2 has done magic with it many times)...

Something that I've always wondered, is why developers choose to cut off the player's "hands" with a clean, straight edge at the wrist. Why haven't more people attempted to fade the wrist, to give the impression that there is more to the character?

Only obvious answer I can think of, is that it's actually kind of awkward to do that in 3D, especially if the player is able to view the hand from basically all...

I'd like to get a Japanese computer to tie everything together but seems like an expensive proposition. An FM Towns seems a bit expensive. X68000s seem to have a few issues.
Then there's the sexy PC 98 and I know nothing.

Then there the cost involved.

Once I put the game and started to play, I had the felling that was not the same game from my childhood.

Just for reference, this is the official version of Atlantis:

So I turned off the system and put my real Atlantis cartridge... and for my surprise, wasn't the same version. I took a picture:...

Granted to get a PC that runs XBONE games you'd probably end up spending what would add up to the cost of an XBONE, PS4 AND WII U.

I was browsing Ebay for some Japan imports when I found a boxed Animal Crossing for Gamecube in good condition with the e Reader for $16 plus shipping. Now I'm no animal crossing fan by any means, I actually really dont like it at all, but I've seen the e reader sell for more by itself on Ebay. So I picked this up.

I'm aware that this is a Japanese e Reader and it's sort of region locked in that it only works with...
