Retro Game Talk & Appreciation

Yes I did indeed buy this game cause it is a shmup. Wanted to snatch it up before it got too expensive. Akai katana already went up to like $40. It's basically Gradius with cute girls.

Good find. That one is starting to get up there in price. It might be one of the games that is top price, like the El Chavo Del Ocho kart racer on 360.

Just FYI Stubbs the Zombie is on sale on Steam 8> are Xbox games considered retro yet? Lol Anyway, its one of my fav games.

I was talking to a friend and realized something. The state where I live is something of a Mecca of video games. We have the world famous arcade museum Funspot. Where they have the history of arcade machines catalogued for the most part. They even have a working Computer Space machine that is the very first commercial arcade machine ever built all the way from 1971. In August that machine will be 50 years old. Then there is the first video game console. The Magnavox Odyssey, released in 1972. Invented in Nashua which is my home town. I could take you and show you the building where the video game console was invented. We can't go in because it is a military contracted R/D plant, but I could drive by and point it out to you.

Anybody play Phantom Crash for Xbox? I loved that game. That game let you have an animal mascot AI that helped you in battle.
