Yea, the "puzzle" games are just fluff added to increase the number of games. Not denying that. But the games listed are some of the more solid options available from the 16-bit era. Plus it can play cartridges as well, so if you come across a copy of NHL '94 at a thrift store, have at it!
    So what's different about this new machine and the one that came out last year (to zero fanfare)? Or the one from 2012?
    This same machine came pre-loaded with: Streets of Rage 1/2/3; Sonic 1, 2, 3D, Spinball, Knuckles; Comix Zone, Vectorman 1 & 2, Altered Beast, and Golden Axe 1, 2, and 3.



    Twitch, it turns out the reason Sega isn't 86'ing the shovel-ware games is because they're cashing their licensing check at the bank and not giving two sh**s. Seems they've been licensing the name to Chinese emulation company ATGames for the last four years.

      Well sorry for seeing a port of Sega Genesis games that I loved playing as a 10-12 year old and feeling nostalgic and getting excited for it. I didn't think I'd need to research the item and realize that this is the 3rd generation of the system. Glad to see that video game snobbery is still alive and well

            I'm not sure how I feel about the trailers but I pre-ordered on the hope this game may approach the glory that was the original MAFIA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REiX...has_verified=1

                Wait, they delayed it again? I thought it was supposed to be released in June or July.

                I am not sure it will live up to the hype. They have bungled everything about the release.

                  As expected with No Man's Sky. People either love it or hate it. No one seems to be in between. Personally I've enjoyed the first 20 hours I've put in to it.

                  I wish having multiple save slots was built in to the game, instead of a per profile system. But that's a minor annoyance that i can work around by saving folders to other locations.

                  A few bugs or glitches here or there, but runs great on my PC so far (knock on wood). Nothing game breaking, and no crashes to this point.

                      I'm in about my 10th Galaxy on NMS, and finally found a good planet for farming cash.

                      Unlimited number of "sac venom" laying on the ground. Each 1 sells for 26-27k. As normal for these types of planets, the sentinels attack as soon as you collect 1 of them.

                      So I run around collecting 10 at a time, while avoiding combat. Run inside to sell. Being in a building deactivates the sentinels. Then start again.

                      Goal is to build up 7-8 million. Then go to a space station to find a new ship to buy.

                        Found an Atlas Pass v3 blueprint finally in NMS. It's used to open locked doors, and will also open v1 and v2 doors. Just need about 4 more Atlas Stones and I can make a more direct effort at reaching the center of the universe. I'm still about 175,000 Light Years from the center.

                          You're in for a real treat when you finally reach the center.

                              Trying out the open beta for Battlefield 1. (XBOne) It's... Better than I give EA credit for. It's just two maps and multiplayer only, but it's been pretty fun.

                              Hope the single player portion is as good.

                                I played two games on Wednesday, couldn't get in all day yesterday and played three today. I have all of two kills. I emptied a clip into a guy at point blank range and it did nothing...then as I was reloading the guy took his pistol and ended me with one shot. Very realistic. I won't be dropping my coin on this when it is released - especially with all the extra you have to pay to get everything.
