Dobbin, that's kinda genius.

Limbrunner, that 2012/94 cartridge is awesome.

Fart-with-a-beard: You gotta try this. I have my blade effect set to "Mr. Sparkle" and it  transforms the whole playing experience. It works best in Zen mode.

Thanks, Luke.  I'd rather have a system that plays the actual cartridges, though; that's the draw for me.

That's exactly what they do; play the original cartridges.

After okaying The Duel, Test Driving II on the Genesis, I've been on a hunt for a similar game. Something more like a driving simulator than a racing game. In my search, I found this:



Probably the best racer I have played in years, and it is free. For reals free.

A cancelled "Batman: Gotham by Gaslight" video game that could have been awesome.

The footage looks more like an Arkham Asylum mod than anything (which I guess maybe it was?) BUT the idea of it is great.

It's weird that there's been a multiverse Spider-man game but not one for any of the DC properties, given that DC's the company who did all the Elseworlds stuff. I want a Batman game where I can play as Gotham By Gaslight Batman / campy 60s Batman / Batman Beyond / Dark Knight Returns Batman, all in one game with each version having a different gameplay and look and feel. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK, COME ON.

Campy 60's Batman would pretty amazing. They should get to work before the leads are dead. Almost all the villains are dead, eh? Just get Ralph Garman to do them, I guess.

So glad I didn't order that TG16 Express I was talking about as I just found out there's a Turbo Grafix iOS app.  That's cool as hell.  But more importantly, iphone/ipad users.....


WRESTLEFEST IS ON THE iOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My pinball and arcade workshop opens up this Friday. I've been working on it all the past week to get ready and move in some games. Hoping to have about 10 games up for freeplay during the opening event with about 30 titles in the shop after that. It will be a communal workshop for other arcade and pinball collectors in the area to bring in their games, use the tools to fix them, crowdsource knowledge, and also run smaller workshop themes on the weekends. Kind of like a maker space but just for gaming. Big investment and time sink to try and get vintage arcade and pinball games back into the eyes of the public. Wish me luck!

Off the top of my head the only ones are Julie Newmar and Joan Collins.  I doubt they'd sell many games though.

A game based on the 60s BATMAN show is the most brilliant thing I've heard come out of this board ever. Like, ARKHAM ASYLUM/CITY style play(with a more 4-color press era story-line), but with bright and happy graphics and big BAM! and POW! combos and such.

BETTER WITH KINECT-bonus-level: Do the Bat-tusi!

Raikus, that's awesome.  Where are you?

WRESTLEFEST IS ON THE iOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's terrible.

That breaks my heart. Is it the controls?

That's the coolest. Oddly enough, a pinball arcade just opened up across the street from me, a guy who owns a liquor store chain around here started it as a passion project sort of thing. The way you are running your store sounds like a lot of fun and makes a lot of sense. It's great you get to do something you're clearly so passionate about. Good luck, it'll be awesome.
