I'd love to try a CD-I outof pure curiosity but they are pretty expensive. I've never seen one in the wild. I want to pick up a Panasonic 3DO if only because it is physically such a good looking console despite it being shit. They are pretty cheap so one of these days.

I hadn't heard of it either; found it while checking out retroachievements. Never had a 32x or CD. Did have a Saturn but only got it late in its cycle and really only to play Shining Force 3. Jaguar? Ouch. I'd love to play one, but tjeh are surprisingly really expensive these days.

Played through this obscure survival horror game released late in the Saturn's life. Released in Europe and Japan but oddly, no NA release. Its basically Resident Evil but in an underwater science facility. The main gimmick is that you can run out of air but air supply stations are so...

A big reason I wanted this was because I rented one at Blockbuster back when they were heavily promoting it. The one I posted back in January had Mario Tennis, which was the pack-in that came with the system. But, because the lens was busted on that one, I had to return that with it...

Picked up a Virtual Boy earlier in the year thst unfortunately didn't work. Found this one with fully replaced parts inside and it works like a dream. Its not a 'fun' system so to speak, but there is something fascinating about it and the complete failure of it at launch. A fun curiosity to...

Dragon Force. Shining Force 1-3, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Nights into Dreams Chrono Trigger is nearly perfect, so I'm afraid they'd fuck it up some how.

Yeah they did - Lunar was a blast and I have so much nostalgia for WD's quirky ass translations and voice acting. Like Atlus today, back then, if was Working Designs, odds are I'd like it.

Oh, most definitely. That's all I use my Steam Deck for; got through Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, and Magic Knight Rayearth in the last year. There is not a chance in hell I'm spending the $1000+ for the "holy grail" Saturn games, but I had Shining Force 3 and Dragon Force when I was a...

After snagging this, my collection from when I was 15 is complete for the Saturn. Gonna be taking a breather scouring for Saturn games - it's a rabbit hole and it will bankrupt me, lol

Majuular's videos are amazing. Early Ultima was before my time but I still found his retrospectives fascinating. I'm very curious to see how he'll tackle Ultima Online once he gets there.

Since people have enjoyed some of the retro stuff, here's my latest pickups. Got Shining Force 3 for a pretty reasonable price. Gemfire was a favorite as a kid and found it CIB and had to get it, no hesitation.

I use a Retroid Pocket 4+ and I'm more than happy with it. Plays anything Dreamcast and under flawlessly. It can apparently do PS2 and GC but I'm a retroachievements whore and the android emulators for those don't have RA support so I don't use them; I use the Steam Deck for those.

Yeah, there was plenty of shit on CD and 32x. I had a Genesis as a kid but sold it decades ago and would like to build that collection up again at some point. CD would just be a fun curiosity to have and maybe somewhere down the line get some of the actual legitimately good games like Shining...

I occasionally check out retro stores if I'm near one and have never seen a Neo-Geo, let alone a Virtual Boy, in the wild, so it seemed like pure luck at this particular place They also had a Turbo Duo, 3do, and Genesis/Sega CD combo that I was tempted to do as it is much easier to collect for...

Turns out the Virtual Boy I bought had a malfunctioning lens. Read up and it's a common problem as it uses a ribbon cable with glue and eventually comes undone after time. It can be soldered back on but I honestly have never soldered anything before so I returned it and more-or-less exchanged...
