Punching things repeatedly kinda hurts your knuckles, y'know?Still no comment on why attacking drains health?

lol didnt realize this was so common. this happened any time I tried to rent the game.. I would stupidly rent it again thinking they had replaced the bad copy. I think it happens on the Gamecenter CX episode as well.

What's everyone's opinion on Vectorman? I recently played up to maybe level 6. Its not bad and quite an original idea for a platformer.
I played Vectorman 2 before the first Vectorman. I don't think V2 is trash, although the opening cutscene is rather incomprehensible. Oddly, I think I remember the bug enemies more than the robot ones from the first game... despite thinking they're a less cool set of enemies.
Comments on phantasy star 3? the game is weird, the graphics are cool and bleh at the same time, and the fact the the art style is so different to the rest of the series really hurts the game a bit.
I can't get past that jungle level in VM2, like, what the fuck bro.
picked up yesterday at a brick and mortar store,
Ghouls 'N Ghosts CIB (SMS)

Thunder Force III Loose (GEN)
I paid $36. I'm not really feeling GnG for the Master System. The pace is so slow, and the movement is really choppy.
I recently passed up cart-only Shinobi III for $4 at the flea market. The price obviously wasn't offensively high, but I already had the game, and didn't want to spend more than $3. The seller wouldn't budge, so I said c'est la vie. I really didn't need it and hopefully it found its way to someone who would enjoy it.
once in a blue moon, lowballing overpriced "best offers" on ebay pays off - got Shadowrun complete for $25!
my next one's looking to be Punisher, if id've known it was a port of the awesome capcom beat-em-up id've been all over that in the day...can anyone find it for $40 or less? i know it's gonna be a loose cart, so some of these prices are silly
Wait, you haggled over a dollar?
You should use some alcohol with a q-tip to clean the contacts. I have a bottle of rubbing alcohol that I use with q-tips to clean off the contacts on games that don't work.Yeah. I can't get Thunder Force II to work. Just a blank black screen. My Genesis is a bit finnicky, but every other game I've got works at least after one or two tries. Q-tipped the dust out, still no dice. Looks like I'll have to go back and return it. So I'll probably end up grabbing Shinobi 2.
I'd pay four bucks for the third one, it's a beautiful game. But obviously no point if you've already got it!
edit: Got TFII to work. It required a lot of Q-Tips and a dab of water. I guess it was really dirty.
Im scared to ask how much Musha or Crusader of Centy would be...so what about Splatterhouse 2 or Phantasy Star IV? Also if you guys sell imports.
why did EA have those weird cartridges?

EA and Accolade did both try to circumvent the licensing system, then accepted deals, but I dont' think that's the only reason why they made their own carts... that may have been a factor in it, but I don't think it's the only one.see, i figured EA's weird carts were from that period where they were arguing with sega about publishing costs & such, before sega cut them that deal.
either way, it sucks when you're buying loose carts, you can only use em for other EA stuff
For some reason, Gargoyles has always kinda attracted my attention... but I hear the game is actually kinda crap. Thoughts on it?
Dunno why it turns my head, I never got into the series. Wasn't my thing as a kid, and I'm too lazy to hunt it down nowadays.

Oh, one other thing about EA and Accolade carts is that they are a bit narrower than Genesis carts, so they should work in any Genesis or Megadrive from any region, no problem. That's one other reason for the design.
I still can't bring myself to buy any of the EA genesis games, and it's mostly because of how the weird carts look. They're unattractive. Shallow reasoning, I know, but I can't get over whatever psychological effect they have on me. They're just...wrong.
That is possible, yeah. I don't know for sure.no doubt, but ive always wondered: do you think maybe they bought said carts in bulk from elsewhere, in case those deals didn't work out?
Given that you'll find some Accolade games which say "for play on Sega Genesis or Megadrive systems" on them, I think it was quite intentional, in their case at least. With EA they probably just use different labels for Europe, but didn't need new shells.that's pretty handy..you think it's just the awkward cart size, or perhaps that feature was intentional?
Good thing I don't have a Genesis 3.the graphics and animation are really great. game is alright from what i remember
it exploits a hardware bug that was fixed in the Genesis 3,so it won't play on one of those.
