DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 A few tough ones this week. Shout out to @jonebone for The Simpsons and Super Spy Hunter. I love the fact that the Super appears upside down on the side of the box. This is something I had never noticed before. It's consistent with the opposite side of the box so it may have been on purpose, but it looks ridiculous. And a few new games I've heard great things about, but never played. I'm most excited for Vanquish, but the others look great too. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,725 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Just grabbed this for $4. The manual is a bit beat, but I reckon I might sniff out another couple of these in the weeks to come.

I think I might like it more than Axelay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,934 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Anyone need a laugh? I found one awesomely trashy piece of low tier handheld history right here and just over the river here for just $13 which surprised me as the shop mismarked it, even the owner said as much (or it likely sat that long as it was covered in dust.) Behold, the Tiger R-Zone XPG in all it's Tigery imitation pleathery like wannabe virtual boy goodness. It came with the Star Wars Jedi Academy game which is surprisingly not that terrible. I'd like to get more of those dumb little projector drop in carts it has. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I had the original R-Zone, the one that goes over your eye. It sucked. I had a penchant for picking up Tiger consoles because I also had the original Game.com, which also sucked. Somehow I didn't understand that just because Tiger made neat little LCD games, that didn't mean they were capable of making a decent console.

There was a discussion about R-Zone games a long time ago on PlanetVB.com, so the game list they came up with is probably the most complete we'll find anywhere on the internet. Here's the list, I'm fairly certain we can ignore the unconfirmed titles at the bottom: Apollo 13 Area 51 Batman & Robin Batman Forever Battle Arena Toshinden Daytona USA Football (EU only) Independence Day Indy 500 Judge Dredd Jurassic Park: The Lost World Mask of Zorro (EU only) Men in Black Mortal Kombat 3 Mortal Kombat Trilogy Nights into Dreams Panzer Dragoon Primal Rage Road Rash 3 Star Wars: Imperial Assault Star Wars: Jedi Adventure Star Wars: Millennium Falcon Challenge Star Wars: Rebel Forces Virtua Cop Virtua Fighter Virtua Fighter 2 VR Troopers NASCAR Racing [unconfirmed] Road Rash [unconfirmed] Star Trek [unconfirmed] Waterworld [unconfirmed] 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can go ahead and be a Road Rash game or whatever, but it's still going to be a huge pain to play. Your opponent is either right next to you, 50 feet ahead of you, or they don't exist at all. It was the same with the Game.com, even if there's a name you recognize, it only means the Tiger devs made a game using the license. Sega didn't make Sonic for Game.com, they just sold the license. Those devs, as we all know, were not good at making GOOD games, they were good at making LOTS of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't touch some of those, but the other Star Wars, virtua cop, maybe MKT, Nights, Panzer Dragoon, JP, ID4, Daytona, BAT, Area 51, and maybe a few more if I can learn more would be nice.

I haven’t opened yet so I can’t say for sure but it’s on the eShop in English so I assumed it had English as an option. Korg M01 was Japan-only for the physical and that had English too.

Strange | 1,700 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) At what point is no longer a “Sega kick?” I’m really excited about these two pick ups. 3 Ninjas is a little harder to find than the rest of my Genesis collection and the price for it CIB was more than right, so I picked it up. I don’t have high hopes for the game itself but maybe I’ll be surprised. Psychic World on the other hand is a really fun platformer I played on my Game Gear before I decided that I didn’t like the Game Gear and sold it off. I said to myself “I really liked Psychic World though, so I need to grab it on SMS when I can.” Then my lazy ass watched it jump from a $30 CIB game that you could usually count on one or two being on eBay to a game that was getting harder and pricier to find CIB. Dude in the UK had a copy, offered me a discount, and here it is. The package came from the UK faster than some US purchases I’ve made.
