If you're going to be that geeky, why not just buy an Atari Flashback 2 and mod in a cartridge slot?

Because the Colecovision with the add-on is the coolest pre-NES console out there!Ecco The Dolphin. Ok I admit I've no doubt bought worse quality games, but I've never hated a game so much considering I bought it back when I only really got new games at birthdays and Christmas. Reviews said it was amazing, it looked amazing for the time, but I absolutely couldn't stand it when I actually played it.
I felt the same. It looked pretty (for a Genesis game), if you're into dolphins, which I'm not. Nothing else about it made it fun for me, either.Ecco The Dolphin.

Well okay, I'll agree with that sentiment. :P

I swear there's a picture of this game next to the dictionary entry for 'overrated'. It was like a Genesis-era Crysis; all flash and no substance whatsoever.
As for myself... probably Bionicle: The Game. I forgot how young I was; may have been nine or so, all I knew was that it had Bionicles in it, and that my room was over-flowing with the things. My young self was forever scarred. I've only just now begun making semi-impulse buys again.

After spending several hundred dollars on a system and a handful of games (at least 2 of which you listed)...Why would I throw MORE money at something I didn't like to make sure that I was right in my decision for not wanting to keep it? First off, if you paid over 200 dollars for a Jaguar and only got two of the above games with it, you spent way too much. A loose Jaguar console generally sells for 40-60 dollars and the games ranging from 5-35 dollars (most of them falling in the 10-15 dollar range). The homebrews can be more expensive, but that comes with the territory. If you only ended up with two or three of the games I mentioned, it says to me that you put zero effort into finding out what games were commonly accepted as good for the system. You probably fired up a few garbage carts (which all systems have) and then decided that you hated it. The Atari Jaguar, believe it or not, has a thriving and active online community. People hold parties and conventions, trade games, play games via JagLink, and even produce their own titles. It's a cult cIassic console in every sense of the word. Yes, Atari promised too high as far as its graphical capabilities go and it failed commercially, but the quality of software available for it is substantially higher than the average gamer realizes. It's like getting a Wii and calling it crap because you only got Wii Music, Ninjabread Man, and Far Cry Instincts for it. You would have totally missed out on games like Muramasa, Madworld, Little King's Story, Super Mario Galaxy 2, No More Heroes, and Red Steel 2.

Not a nice thing to say about the Nr1 Shmup/ 2D Arcade system of all time !
Haha I totally had one of those. I remember my dad bringing one home from the flea market because it was dirt cheap.The Polystation, a Chinese-made console that looked vaguely like the PS played NES games.

It makes more sense to you to buy an aftermarket system that you then have to mod, and then you still can't play the Colecovision games? How's that better?Used to own the 3DO, I loved it at the time but owned it only about six months before the Playstation. Had plenty of good times with it, but it's pretty much unplayable by modern standards. Second_RookOnly the games that sucked back then are unplayable by modern standards. I think you'll find that Samurai Shodown, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Gex, Star Control II, Need for Speed, Burning Soldier, Return Fire, Road Rash, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Wing Commander, and Crash N Burn are still quite enjoyable. If a game doesn't age well it was never good in the first place. You were just caught up in hype or impressive visuals (for the time period). But good gameplay simply doesn't age. Good art is good art regardless of its chronological age. Pong, Galaga, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros, Ocarina of Time, Sonic CD, Bonk's Adventure, Radiant Silvergun... these are great games regardless of what time period you experience them in.

I'm not sure if I agree with the "If a game doesn't age well it was never good in the first place." Grand Theft Auto is a perfect example of this. The original GTA games were great in their day, but when GTA 3 came out, they aged terribly in a single day. Hell, Pac Man on the 2600 was garbage, but in an arcade cabinet is is awesome. Is that reverse aging? Just food for thought.

A botched port has nothing to do with aging. A game's historical value lies in its original, intended form. Further, just because 3D GTA games work out extremely well doesn't mean 2D ones are inherently inferior. Compare Chinatown Wars to Liberty City Stories for such an example. And while I consider Vice City the best in the series, I definitely regard GTA 1 and 2 as more fun than GTA IV.[QUOTE="Second_Rook"]Used to own the 3DO, I loved it at the time but owned it only about six months before the Playstation.

A few of the games that you mention have modern versions available that I feel just as well off with. Return Fire 2 player mode, SC2 (which I still play on my PC) Road Rash, even Space Hulk, I could still play. But a couple of my old favorites, Alone in the Dark 1 and 2, Blade Force, Immercenary and Po'ed just haven't aged well. I don't consider them to have been bad in the first place, they have just been rendered nearly obsolete by technological advances. Videogames do not age like other forms of pop-media.
Pong for example, was a great game at the time and an industry breakthrough, but if you really mean that when a friend is available to play Borderlands or Resident Evil 5 that I would be just as well off with Pong because they are all great games I'm pretty certain that we aren't going to see eye to eye.

I totally agree. I never really felt games got outdated. Well.. with a few exceptions. Like the original Dragon quest game.. jesus lol.. That was like, anchient beyond belief but then again I didnt play it back then so idk if people back then thought it was good
I would much, much rather play Pong than Resident Evil 5.savebatteryYeah, I kind of figured that. Have at 'er bud.
Pokemon Stadium for the Nintendo 64. I'm not a big fan of Pokemon anymore but the thing is when I was, I was hoping that Pokemon Stadium would be good and that the actual Pokemon would fight in battle in a realistic way but instead it was just the fighting style of the Pokemon games of the Gameboy but in 3D and nothing exciting about it.
[QUOTE="savebattery"] I would much, much rather play Pong than Resident Evil 5.Second_RookYeah, I kind of figured that. Have at 'er bud. Resident Evil 5 is a bad game, through and through, For all its modern technology it still falls short in terms of gameplay. The enemy AI is terrible, the game is unplayable without a second human (because your ally AI is awful too), the storyline was bad, and it doesn't know what genre it belongs in. If you're going to make it a third person shooter, fine. Just let me walk and shoot at the same time. If you're going to make it a survival horror, that's good too. But actually include survival horror elements and not just fake it. Not to mention the fact that they charged extra for cooperative mutliplayer. Resident Evil 4 was a masterpiece. Resident Evil 5 was a deformed younger cousin.
