Buried Genesis treasure.

I was digging out some Christmas junk in the garage today and much to my surprise, buried treasure YAY!! I found 9 Genesis games in the bottom of a box of dusty old box marked ornaments. Most of them deserve to remain in their cardboard coffin but a few little gems stuck out as worthy of coming out of retirement.

The first one is Sports Talk Football 93' Starring Joe Montana.
Ahh good times. Unfortunately the manual has not survived so we will have to see how that goes. Get this, on the back of the box one of the features listed is and I quote "12 Megs - The most intimidating football game ever to grace the Sega Genesis Gridiron" LMFAO!!! How funny is that.

Other notable games are Altered Beast, Street Fighter 2 and NHPA Hockey 93'

The last one is the utterly Craptacular and wickedly difficult Judge Dredd. Boy do I still remember exactly why this thing went to the garage over ten years ago. Many a controller suffered abuse and many an expletive was shouted as a result of playing this game. Still, for nostalgia's sake it will be a bit of fun and come on man, it's JUDGE DREDD.

Now I know all of this stuff is worth about $7.99 on e-bay but it's treasure to me. It's nice when you get little surprises like this, especially when it happens while your doing what basically amounts to chores.

A similar thing happened to me earlier last week. I was going through boxes in the garage (since I'm moving soon) and I stumpled apon a box of CDs. Inside, I found Shenmue for the Dreamcast, including the case, manuel, and all the three discs. But the only sad thing is, its that the discs were very scratched, they were virtually unplayable. Oh well, it brought back memories of me playing the Sega Dreamcast back when I was younger. I kept looking for more gaming treasure, and I found a book, an Encyclopedia on Spider-Man I bought years ago. I opened it up, and I found my disc for Marvel vs. Capcom and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 for the Dreamcast. Both were scratched though. :(

Maybe I'll look through my garage again soon and see if I can find anything else.

That's too bad about your discs. Those old Dreamcast games were cool but I never had one of those so I don't know too much about them. Its nice to remember how far games have come over the past ten or fifteen years. The thing that always stands out to me is how difficult those old games really are especially the old arcade games. I got that 80 classic Atari games for PC and I find that time has washed away the fact that the quarter I put into that Missile Command machine never lasted more then a few minuets until after I had spent a lot of money getting good.

I actually still have my Genesis out and hook it up every month or two because I still enjoy playing a little Road Rash or Maximum Carnage now and then. I wonder how bad this stuff will look on my friends HD big screen LOL, I should take it over some time for a laugh.
