i never had one. What the hell is XT?
Im loving double dragon arcade on xbox live
On a sidenote, same setting as altered beast but you played a white werewolf... was it the sequel or just a knockoff?

Sega transitioned Altered Beast nicely from the arcade to a console.
Shinobi was done nicely also.
Ninja Gaiden (non-sega related) in the arcade was sweet, but on a console it was terrible.
While the rest of you kids where hooked on Mario I was mashing buttons on this:
Master System Shinobi was not a good look. Revenge on Genesis got it right. It's fucking impossible, the way all Shinobi's should be.
Dammit...you beat me to it.
Uuuummmmm........Power Up?
Their addition of Godzilla, and wannabe spiderman was cool on the game. Damn good graphics for the day. Really. Fuck the soundtrack was pretty extensive too.
what was the game where you played this adventure in mario style, you had a backpack and you could do all sorts of ish with it, dive under water, fly etc etc
i think there was a sequel to it aswell...

I didn't have a Genesis, but when it first came out, I used to rent one from this kid I went to school with (and who I found out last year went on to become some sort of internet sensation). $10 for the whole weekend. I played Altered Beast and Ghouls n' Ghosts ( ) until my eyes bled.
When dying:
DAAAAAAAAAHH!
Also: Bad Dudes' "I'm Bad!"
I think Space Taxi on the C64 was the first digitized voice usage on a home system.
I was that kid with the Sega Master System.
3D goggles + Space Harrier 3D =
You're spot on with space taxi, that game was awesome. It was around the same time as my favorite c64 game, Impossible Mission which also started with the coolest voice sample: STAY AWHILE. STAY...FOREVER! I got them loaded up in a loop player. DESTROY HIM. MY ROBOTS.
It had some good games, but Playstation was coming with games that
were absolutely sonning it ... hanging on to a dying system is rough -
there'd be like 1 new game a month, and you had to wait forever for
good Playstation games to get modded over, if they ever did.
Oh hell yes! Though, at some point I bought a second Master System for some reason. The "newer" ones had Hang On built in instead of the snail maze game.
do they even make arcade games anymore? the only ones i ever see are oldish ones in dilapidated airports and bus stations
1st PCs = XT
286 = AT
386
386sx
etc.
I had an Amstrad PC-1640 with EGA monitor (16 colours), I was burning CGA 4 colour mutherfuckers and monochrome fools in 1988!
peace.
ahhhh man..memories..now i wish i would find a cheap sega mega drive (over here it was called mega drive yes) with all those gems.. :/
