15 years ago, my wife and I decided an arcade in our old apartment was more important than a dining room.
Did we make the right choice?

Today's the day - Samurai Shodown RPG's English patch is here! Having waited nearly 20 years for this project to be completed, it's hard to believe it's finally out for fans to enjoy.
@PricePartDeux
, I can't imagine how many hours of your life you devoted to this. Thank you.
This is the game that single-handedly kicked off my obsession with point-and-click adventures.
Do you remember your first experience with the genre?

16 years ago, at our old apartment, we decided a home arcade was infinitely more important than a dining room.
No regrets were felt.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on an arcade machine? Sure, why not?
This works so much better than I thought it would. I can easily see myself playing through the entire game on my Super Neo 29 Candy.

Over the past two weeks, I've done virtually all of my recreational gaming on the Sega CD.
I know it was a commercial failure, but I genuinely love the platform and the more mature experiences it offers.
What are your thoughts on the Sega CD?

While often overshadowed by the Game Boy and Game Gear, the Neo Geo Pocket Color was a fantastic little handheld that deserves a spot in anyone's collection.
Do you own one? If so, what are some of your favorite Neo Geo Pocket games?

Last week's Working Designs Sega CD thread was fun, so let's make things more complicated by throwing some Saturn goodness in there.
Same rule: you can only pick 3 games and the rest have to go. Which are you choosing?

It's impossible to overstate just how much Sega promoted Eternal Champions ahead of its release.
Do you think it lived up to the hype?

What's the best deal you've ever gotten on a hard to find game?
I don't think I'll ever beat the time I got this CIB copy of Earthbound for $40 in 2019 - $20 cheaper than the loose copy I purchased in 2004!

While not quite as illustrious as Sega's Streets Rage trilogy, Capcom's SNES Final Fight games were decent enough options for pugilistic players.
Which one of the three is your favorite?

My dishwasher kicked the bucket this week, so I had to install a new one. It felt a bit naked at first, but I think I solved the issue.

Mail call!
Last year, my childhood Sega 32X expired suddenly from complications during surgery. So when I came across a great deal on a boxed unit last week, I just had to jump on it.
I'll always be a 32X apologist.

All it took was $5 in parts and an hour under the knife and the "junk" model 1 Sega CD is alive. Time to christen it with some Popful Mail.
A massive thanks to the legendary

Has a magazine ad ever compelled you to buy a game you otherwise knew nothing about?
This advertisement for Lunar: The Silver Star had me from the jump. I just knew I needed to try it for myself and experience the grand adventure it promised.

Just came across this pic my wife took of me on Christmas Eve, 2004, when she surprised me with my Neo Geo AES and Samurai Shodown II.

Has there ever been a better arcade racer than Daytona USA?
Released nearly 30 years ago, Sega's follow-up to Virtua Racing flexed the power of the Model 2 hardware which powered greats like Virtua Fighter 2, The House of the Dead, & Virtua Cop.

What are some of your favorite games that people would consider to be Zelda clones?
Personally, I can't get enough of Crusader of Centy on the Sega Genesis. Great presentation, fun mechanics, and an incredible soundtrack make it a must-play.
