The System That Slipped Away From Me

Let's face it, console systems are expensive and so are the games. Companies will release their product around the same time as others, so inevitably there comes a time when you have to choose between 2 or 3 consoles, because you cant have them all. I was faced with this choice in the early 1990's. My 8-bit Nintendo had seen it's day and it was time to move up to the 16-bit class of systems. Super Nintendo, or Sega Genesis? ShouldI abandon the company that provided me with years of entertainment, for this newer, more exciting looking Genesis? Should i abandon my pal Mario for a blue hedgehog? I made my choice, it would be the Sega Genesis.

There were really no wrong choices in this case, I loved my Genesis, BUT i missed out on a lot of great games that were SNES-only and I'm just now getting around to playing them.

F-Zero, A Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, Star Fox.

I have a lot of catching up to do, but catching up is fun.

R.I.P. turn based RPG's

I'm an old school gamer who loves the old school RPG's including Final Fantasy, but it looks like they've decided to abandon the turn based system all together, R.I.P.

It's a sad day for us dinosaurs.
