[quote name='Dingleberry']just buy all three and return them if they are not[/QUOTE]

so question, how do you know preciely how many they have in stock total?
 
[quote name='wannabepunktony']Wwwwhhhhaaa? ^__^ Are those hard to find and/or expensive...?[/QUOTE]

i was referring to the auction he pointed out. i'm not sure if it's really hard to find but i was just saying the cheats n codes disc was the cheapest converter disc i've seen.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']Interesting. Does EB sell this?

I cant wait to get the Dreamcast. I'm more excited about playing Dreamcast games than I am 360 for some reason. Any more suggestions about what games I should get?[/QUOTE]

Probably worth mentioning for all the DREAMCAST fans and game-hunters out there:

The Ultimate Dreamcast Survival Guide
Great article on the Dreamcast and building your collection.

Dreamcast US Checklist
It's worth grabbing to keep track of the titles you own / still want. Enjoy!
 
[quote name='botticus']Anything that this game can be compared to so I can get an idea of what its like?[/QUOTE]It plays like Metal Slug or the 2-D contra games. Side-scrolling jump 'n' shoot action for 1 or 2 players. I fully inted to get it but I am waiting to see if the rumored XBOX version comes to fruition (supposedly it will allow you to download user-created levels through Live).

EDIT: woo-hoo, 1000th post!

Haha, you just said Contra, now I have to buy the game.

I didn't like it so much.. the art design just didn't do it for me.. and I thought it was really short... its fun.. just not fufilling.
 
Alien Hominid is styled like a traditional arcade run and gun, most similar to Metal Slug. For its type of gameplay the game is not short. In fact the game is nearly too long to be one credited, which is the goal you should be aiming toward with this type of game. Seriously, just because you can credit feed a game to the end doesn't make it short. Anyway, the game is excellent minus some flaws, namely small and hard to see bullets and a sometimes uneven difficulty curve. Purchase recommended for old school gamers.

i beat it on every difficulty in a day.. i found it to be very short and not rewarding at all. and the credit feed was kind of lame. maybe its just me.. I like metal slug though.. but that series too is getting harder and harder to just pick up and play sometimes.
 
[quote name='schultzed']This is a less than $15 game for me. It'll be awhile but they all come down eventually.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, superhero games almost always turn into PC/PH/GH
 
[quote name='botticus']Yeah, superhero games almost always turn into PC/PH/GH[/QUOTE]

Yep. I'm waiting for the Hulk to be a PH for Xbox before I pick it up. I can wait.
 
fuck ebgames.com. I'm sick of getting used games in the mail that are defective. Kids, make sure you play your used games all the way through within 30 days. You'd be surprised to learn that most of these games start fucking up when you get to the later levels.

Guaranteed to work is a load of horseshit. Someone needs to break out a class action on these fools.

Thats why I just return/exchange games if I don't like the look of the disc (since I have a feeling B&M usually at least puts the game in the system to test it), whether or not it works for the ten minutes I play it out of the box. And if it fucks up later... I guess I'll have to rely on the wonders of cleaning/resurfacing.

you know.. I just bought a bunch of cheap games from them (xIII, matrix, intellivision, dynasty warriors 2, amped, spin jam, sol divide) and they are all in like new condition. (i even got a 2 month live card in one of them) and i've only ever had 2 games not work for me and it just wasn't worth me sending back to them (Rogue squadron for 64 and tony hawk 2 for PSX)

and not a bad update.. been getting better than usual
