Retro Gamer forum

I've been away so long, I think I need to introduce myself again...

I'm Mike. I like the Dreamcast even more now than I did when I posted here regularly.

My main activity on the net had been forums from 98 till about a year ago. Don't know what happened, guess I just naturally migrated to the social media side of things? Forums still have a place, just perhaps the catch-all nature of facebook or twitter allows for all interests to be grouped together...

I see you lot learnt nothing from the Turnipian revolution then? Psht. This could of been a bloody paradise....

Although I'm not one to self publicise, I will say cheers to Merman for the interview!

I'm Mike Phelan, btw

I spent all day half-jesting that I was waiting for it's announcement. Moment the music started playing, damn well nearly jumped out of my seat. Kickstarter went down, my facebook feed went absolutely bananas with Shenmue fans, and I woke the girlfriend up to tell her (...she didn't care). Excited? ...

Red Dog. It's....not really very good.

And Rallisport Challenge 2. Damn people talking about Xbox recently, have ended up getting hooked on it. Again. Great game.

Having just sold most of my Cartridge based games to make way for Everdrives, I'm only actively buying for the DC, Mega CD, 3DO, Xbox, PSP, NGPC and 360 now. Mega CD - Have 41 games, may increase that to the 50 mark slowly. 3DO - have 30 games, will increase whenever I see any come up cheap. Xbox - ...

Mega Everdrive has already arrived, and I've got a Turbo and Super Everdrive on their way. Absolutely awesome little things!
Also, Dreamcast Twin Stick Controller is probably the highlight of anything else I've purchased recently.

if you have a dcx disc you can boot non native vga games in vga, but your vga box needs a rgb/vga switch (done this with gigawing back in the day) google it theres threads around Unfortunately, the PAL Skies of Arcadia won't work in VGA with any work around. One of the few that won't. It's the US v...

First post on here for an age. Sold an absolute ton of stuff these past few weeks, set myself a goal of ten games per console* and have done quite well so far: Earthworm Jim, Dune, Ecco, Star Wars Chess, After Burner 3 on Mega CD Burning Rangers, Spot Goes to Hollywood, Street Fighter Alpha 2 on Sat...

In no Particular order, all time list:

Chaos (Spectrum)
Micro Machines 96 (Mega Drive)
Sonic 2 (Mega Drive)
Shenmue (Dreamcast)
Tony Hawks 3
Alpha Centauri (PC)
Half Life 2 (PC)
Rallisport Challenge 2 (Xbox)
Skyrim
Shadow of Mordor (too new perhaps?)

Apart from having to get a replacement Xbox One console...today...I'm still liking it more than the PS4. Great things: The controller is awesome. Titanfall and Forza Horizon 2 are both excellent. Kinect actually works. Good things: Most of the cross platform titles, Wolfenstein, COD, Sunset Overdri...

Was all ready to get GTA V on the PS4 (after completing it on the 360, and preferring Sony controllers, generally, for 3rd person stuff), but the FPS mode has made me rethink that and I'll be getting it on the Xbox One. Simply put, I much prefer playing FPS games using an Xbox pad.

PS4 is second place for me so far. To be honest, I've forced myself to buy some multi platform stuff on the PS4 just so I don't let it just lie there (Diablo 3 and Shadow of Mordor, the latter of which is my favourite game this gen). Infamous was a huge disappointment for me, it started well, but go...
