Well, for Cyberfront Korea at least (no page on them yet), they did the Korean version of Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls, so on a page for them Wonder Boy Returns could be mentioned at least.
Number #425346 on the "list of things Sega Retro needs to cover at some point": Cyber Troopers Virtual-On model paint. I have half a list but no dedicated page or photos. Any takers? Anyone want to document some paint?? ?????
Anyone knows how i can reset Micro Machines 2 Turbo's save data without messing with the battery? Thanks!
Incidentally, Non-Volatile Ram is a standard feature in every Atari Jaguar cartridge. Even games with no discernible reason to feature saves have them, and will usually at least save your options configurations until you reset using a similar button chord. Funnily enough, there isn't enough RAM in the standard Jaguar cartridge to hold a park in Theme Park, so the Jaguar version of Theme Park features no saving at all lol.
I tried to find an english manual online to no avail. Thank you for the info, really! Everyone had random names and stats when i got the cartridge.
Don't know if these were out there before, but Giant Bomb has recorded some Sega PR VHS tapes that media outlets used to get: Sega E3 2000 B-Roll SEGA Seaman Commercial (2000) Rez trailer that was distributed sometime in 2001 Acclaim E3 2001 B-roll (05/04/2001) [NO AUDIO] (features Crazy Taxi) Infogrames B-roll (2000) (features various Dreamcast games) Acclaim E3 B-roll (2000) (features various games that were released on Dreamcast, unsure if all) They uploaded most of these quite some time ago but I've never seen them mentioned on here, so just posting them in case people here hadn't seen these yet. Not sure if Giant Bomb will upload stuff like this again for quite some time though, they already only upload VHS tapes once in a while and their video producer just left.
Mega Drive, yeah. 32X? Why would they do that? It was a failed addon that SoJ didn't even like all that much.
I always imagined that while Sega Hardware would be a somewhat confusing fragmented series of options, the 32-bit software releases could be platform agnostic. Say you buy the first Panzer Dragoon, and inside you find a cartridge and a CD. Mega Drive with 32X - Cartridge only - Panzer Dragoon without textures, a bit slower, and with Mega Drive audio (equivalent to Starwing/Starfox). Mega Drive with 32X and Mega CD - Use both Cartridge and CD to play the above with the CD audio soundtrack and some 32X-enhanced FMV Neptune (Saturn spec without CD drive that has Mega Drive compatibility) - Cartridge only - same as 32X, but maybe a little faster, higher res, maybe some textures. Neptune with CD add-on (upgraded to full Saturn spec, needs a larger bus connection than the original Mega CD) - Cartridge + CD - the full saturn game with textures and CD audio Saturn - Panzer Dragoon as we know and love, with maybe faster loading times by utilising the Cartridge. The cartridge contains the lo-fi game with some Saturn/Neptune textures for faster loading, and the CD contains the hi-fi version with CD audio and FMV available for the lo-fi game when paired with the Mega CD No matter which upgrade path you chose, your software library stays the same. You could go the 32X route for a while, get to play the latest games earlier, but when you eventually upgrade to Saturn, you can take your software with you. Saturn too expensive? Get a Neptune and save up for the CD drive later.
The problem there is that you end up with more hardware platforms on the go than HP has printer combinations (spoiler - it's a LOT). It's not very consumer friendly. I see what you're trying to say but it'd probably have been a disaster.
It's the only way the 32X fits into the family. You'd handle the transition gradually, phasing out the Mega CD and 32X as the Neptune becomes available, and the prematurely early Saturn launch is potentially boosted by 32X owners grabbing Saturn launch titles for the lo-fi versions and locking them in to upgrading to Saturn eventually down the track. It's more or less the same as Master System titles advertising compatibility with various models and the power base converter on Mega Drive.
In the latest episode of "trying to push wiki-related work onto others in the vain hope that someone here might respond"... Sega part-funded the third season of Ghostwriter, a kids TV show. Circa 1995. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgOtN4GFYTc I don't know what this means. Do you know what this means? US television scares me.
