kyle_5_16 Icon : (Yesterday, 06:18 PM) The only way the Saints are gonna beat Peyton Manning is with a stick in his sleep
AKA Superman Icon : (Yesterday, 06:33 PM) Peyton was lacking the last couple of games and their defense won't be able to hold the Saints' offense!
AKA Superman Icon : (Yesterday, 06:34 PM) should be a good game nonetheless...unfortunately, I have to work!?
Todd Icon : (Yesterday, 07:15 PM) ... and we were so close
Shimshuta Icon : (Yesterday, 09:53 PM) French Quarter is off the hook now.
d2_s Icon : (Yesterday, 09:54 PM) Looks like Bioshock 2 PC supports 'Games for Windows Live', which means achievment points for the junkies!
MrEastSide Icon : (Yesterday, 11:08 PM) Bioshock 2 is pretty amazing. Very simliar to the first, but lots of new little additions and features. I love it!!!
Kilau Icon : (Today, 01:47 AM) Just finished ME2, so happy =)
d2_s Icon : (Today, 06:10 AM) That's awesome Shim!
d2_s Icon : (Today, 06:16 AM) I pre-ordered the 360 Rapture Edition of Bioshock 2 (get it tommorow) and bought the PC version online...My Dante's inferno still hasn't arrived and I just found an email in my inbox telling me it'll be in on Thursday...I could have bought it off the shelf last thursday.
Shimshuta Icon : (Today, 03:57 PM) Finished ME2 as well. I am happy with my ending.
Ray Icon : (Today, 03:58 PM) Everyone knows only hillbillies watch sporting events /s
Shimshuta Icon : (Today, 04:21 PM) Looking forward to picking up Bioshock 2 tonight.
Kilau Icon : (Today, 06:02 PM) I keep hearing how good Bioshock 2 is, and I loved the first one, but I really don't care about the sequel
d2_s Icon : (Today, 06:26 PM) I kind of know how you feel in a way. I am not the most excited about this game. I enjoyed the first game for it's atmosphere + story, but as far as gameplay goes...vita chaimber killed the game for me.
d2_s Icon : (Today, 06:26 PM) So though I enoy the game alot, I don't hold it in the sam regard as most.
Shimshuta Icon : (Today, 07:23 PM) I turned the Vita Chambers off in the first one, or reloaded it when I died. Same result. I am sorta excited for the game. Conviction is the game that has my attention though.
d2_s Icon : (Today, 08:08 PM) Haha I forgot you could do that :suicide:
d2_s Icon : (Today, 08:09 PM) It's not quite the same thing though, without VIta Chambers, you are forced to be cautious and use skill and actually are penalised on death.
d2_s Icon : (Today, 08:10 PM) Death Penalty :suicide:

http://ultimateconso.../unreleased.htm (has more, I just posted some neat ones)


QUOTE
The Sega Neptune was basically a two-in-one game system (Genesis/32X), planned for release in 1995. Unfortunately, by the time a working protoype was ready, the Sega Saturn took the spotlight.

QUOTE
Sega felt that consumers would not be interested in the Sega Neptune, so the project was scrapped. Of the two prototypes that were made, neither actually functioned, but were just empty cases. The proposed retail price for the unit was US$200




QUOTE
Basically a portable PC, NanoGear is what the GP2X should’ve been. It allows users to create their own games with the included tools and sports built-in networking.

Pretty high tech handheld that looks like it never got off the drawing board

I thought they actually produced some Neptunes, but they just never sold them. I thought I read that in a magazine a few years back.

I just feel like I specifically remember one of my magazines saying some were around, but the price tags on the ones they actually produced were huge.

I definitely know I've seen the CDX, but I also saw the Neptune. Not implying I saw it in person, though.

The Neptune was released though wasn't it and same with the CDX Arche?

I also always wanted a Nomad but don't really need one anymore seeing as I have a few handhelds that can play genesis emulated ... GP2X is a fave of mine because it also has a full res TV out cool.gif

i saw plenty about the neptune in magazines back in the day, but i believe they were never released. I don't think that it was like, a big secret project or anything.

I think I remember reading about it in magazines at the same time the 32x was still fairly new and with the neptune, saturn, pc fx and playstation in the same issue. it was enough to make my head explode.

Yeah, Ultra64 was awesome. The logo was way better than N64's, too.

About 2 years ago a local Zellers (like a poor mans walmart here in Canada) had a brand new Nomad on the shelf for $299. It was obviously old stock, I returned several times over a couple of months and the price finally dropped to $98, about a month later it was $16 so I bought it. Pretty cool system expect it basically eats batteries, you can get about 90 mins of gaming if you're lucky. I also picked up a few Genesis games for $1 each, Vector Man, Comic Zone, Eternal Champions, Ecco, Megaman, and a few others I can't really remember. It was $30 well spent.

It also just uses a genesis power adapter as well. I know that doesn't work on the bus, but works just fine for the living room or bedroom. I just like it because it is practically a genesis with a screen. You can hook it up to the tv and hook a second player controller into it. It is really cool.
