@MidlifeCrysis_ check out a game called WindJammers if you can!

(and go in the dip settings to make the matches 60 seconds [or however long you want] instead of 30 seconds
[matches are too short by default imo]

Twice as awesome if you have another person to play with!

@NightmarEclipse @MidlifeCrysis_ There is actually a 100% finished American NTSC version of Deep Fear out there

While not officially released at retail, it was 100% finished; they just decided it wasn't worth releasing in U.S.
But it's very easily obtainable, and runs perfectly on a Saturn via Satiator / ODEs

@MidlifeCrysis_ Segata Sanshiro smiles upon thee

Here's a random one:

NBA Jam T.E.

Hear me out: out of the myriad of console ports, and even though the Saturn version has better visuals,
(as does the PS1, though the PS1 version is a bit jankier than the Saturn version)
the Jaguar version is just way more snappy, and really maintains the Arcade action feel.

With snappier gameplay & better visuals than all of the 16 bit / 32X ports, and just snappier game play compared to the Saturn / PS1 ports:

Jaguar gets a rare, but welcomed win here from me

@MidlifeCrysis_ Ah damn man, what a bummer!

Hopefully a burned copy will keep the adventure going

[Shift Happens @ShiftHappensPod]

@MidlifeCrysis_ I feel that!

i lost 8 hours of progress in Lunar Eternal Blue on Sega CD as few weeks ago..
man that was devastating lol

[Shift Happens @ShiftHappensPod]

@ShenmueVillage Awesome!

[Shift Happens @ShiftHappensPod]

@MoonPieDreams @XRPee1983 @Bubba_GeekHero @MidlifeCrysis_ Yeah that's 100% of the reason I have it;
Even though it's wayyy overpriced, i just can't go back to limited text lol

@cityhunter_sega Such a shame Sega won't actually help with the Shenmue franchise anymore

But at least they're letting Yu Suzuki continue the IP on his own;

No other company would just let a former employee use their IP like that

[Shift Happens @ShiftHappensPod]

@MidlifeCrysis_ I've always heard such good things about this one, and have always wanted to try it

Dk why I haven't yet; need to remedy that

@GroomAndGhoul This was special back then; so much fun

Then I got back into it all over again when the Dreamcast version came out like a year later

[Shift Happens @ShiftHappensPod]

@andreasscholl09 Oh wow, awesome!

@wazircdt @Juniorquotes1 My cat did the same thing, while catching a little bird mid-air..
