The DVD-ROM and AV cable were bad right off the bat, but the local Play 'n Trade sold me a new drive and AV cable with no questions asked :D.<br /><br />I ended up giving them the PS2 and they repaired it's optical drive and donated it to a rec center.

To be fair though, most early PS2 games were utterly hideous due to difficulty programming for that monster. That said, I've never been a fan of Sony consoles myself, and Alone in the Dark wasn't a super early PS2 game :D.Retronickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793362605476387506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368616534809378357.post-21954580395311541202011-12-06T16:10:10.157-05:002011-12-06T16:10:10.157-05:00You should try Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare...You should try Alone in the Dark the New Nightmare on Dreamcast.

The only one I've seen with a decent website (that you can actually order from), is e Starland, but they also switched to being an online store primarily, so their storefront is less than ideal now.<br /><br />I always saw the box for the Turbo CD at 29th street video in Pueblo, CO growing up. I would flip through Turbo Play Magazine and dream of the day I would actually get to play classics like "It Came from the Desert," and "Sherlock Holmes." I too would talk about my TurboGrafx at school and always got "A what?" "That's not how you spell graphics." or "Is that a game on Nintendo?" All I know is that "Vigilante" is still way more fun than "Kung Fu," and Bonk was the most unique mascot we could hope for (if not the most dynamic).<br /><br />I've also been looking into get a ROB. I'd probably never play either of its crap games, but it would make a grand conversation piece.Retronickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10793362605476387506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8368616534809378357.post-23851452706865513092011-10-14T11:55:20.527-04:002011-10-14T11:55:20.527-04:00Wow, looks like a great store! And they don't ...Wow, looks like a great store! And they don't have a website? Crazy! Of course, that seems to be par for the course with these kinds of shops. There's a great retro (and Japanese) gaming shop here in Seattle that has a bare-bones website, but you can't search their inventory on it or order products from it. So it's basically useless.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm with you RE: the Turbo CD. The box is HUGE, isn't it? I still remember walking into our local Toys R Us back in the day and buying that sucker. I felt like a superstar! Of course, no one I knew gave a hoot about the Turbo, but that didn't bother me. I'm still kicking myself for selling that beast a few years later (although, to be fair, I did so to make money for an import Saturn).<br /><br />Other than that, the boxed ROB made me swoon. I really need to get one someday, even if the ROB games suck. It could be a conversation piece, or a piece of furniture -- or both!
