pimping for a friend: videogames!

[egypturnash]

read_alicia is getting rid of her Saturn and Dreamcast stuff, and asked me to point my larger, often-videogame-playing readership towards it. If I had a TV to run these things on and the cash and time to spare I might be tempted myself; she's got some good stuff - a number of the actual reasons to want a Saturn, like Nights (with the analog controller, which I'm told makes it ten times the game it is with the d-pad) and Panzer Dragoon, and several of the Dreamcast-worth-having games like Rez, Jet Grind, and Crazy Taxi. Even Samba De Amigo and its maracas.

Check it out: her Saturn stuff and her Dreamcast stuff. Both are first-generation machines, with multiple controllers.

She's asking for $250 or better for the DC, with $60 more for shipping, and $100 or more for the Saturn; $40 shipping. Prices are negotiable but she's not breaking the lots up; email her. If you're around Boston she says she can just drop it off in her car; no shipping required.

Oh, man. If I didn't already have a Saturn...

Hey, if her game collection fills gaps in yours, and you've got the room to have a spare Saturn...

Holy damn, Jet Grind Radio and Nights Into Dreams are amazing.

You know, a while back I had an opportunity to borrow Rez (PS2 version) from a friend of mine, but I passed it up because I get headaches sometimes from games with a lot of flashing lights. Argh, I wish I hadn't.

I don't remember Rez being overly full of flashy lights, just full of Tron-ishness.

on the other hand I may have burnt something out back in the c64 days when I'd play Ancipital with the "strobo FX" set to "ON" at midnight...

I was told it was quite flashy! Thanks.

I saw on Wikipedia that there may be a Rez game for the Wii, which is good news for me. From what I've read it sounds like the kind of game that would work very well there. :D Any thoughts on that since you've played the game, or have you had an opportunity to play anything on the Wii yet?

I haven't even ever been in the same room as a Wii, so I wouldn't know.

Curses, foiled.

The remote's fun to play around with if you have a computer with Bluetooth support though! Unfortunately, Windows is better supported. Argh.

For friends of shatterstripes, fees are very negotiable. I'm trying to pay off some major repair work to my apartment, but I also need the things out of here.

Oh yeah, Samba De Amigo is awesome, and Crazy Taxi is why I got the Dreamcast.
