The recent Retronauts podcast was all about Prog Rock music and ended up mentioning the Final Fantasy VI final boss theme which sounds a lot like an Emerson, Lake and Palmer tune. My recent fav is Blue Dragon's boss theme "Eternity" that features Ian Gillian of Deep Purple. It sounds very close to a classic Deep Purple song. I need to play all the games you mentioned.
Being able to write comfortably on a tablet is my only concern right now. I see people in the coffee shops all the time with those tiny keyboards. I need to try one out.
I used to buy tower computers, then I moved to laptops, and I think my next computer in a few years will be a tablet. Hey, it's still a computer. Although, I guess for really power hungry games, you still have to get some crazy huge liquid cooled tower computer to play them. I could never keep up with that kind of thing money-wise anyway. I can't wait to play indie games and Ace Patrol on a tablet though. I have my consoles for the AAA games.
The games I want are finally coming for the Wii-U, so it may be a very Nintendo Christmas for me this year with Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker all in glorious HD. I can't wait!
I just read about the Cross Active Battle System. It seems really cool. I want to get this game more than ever. Some characters I want to see in the game are Morrigan from Darkstalkers, and the Valkyria Chronicles III and Sakura Wars characters.
What's cool about Sonic's Ultimate Genesis Collection is that it has SOR1-3 on it as well as Kid Chameleon.
The TurboGrafx-16 has a cool and efficient design. I like the small size of the game cards. It's a system I still need to get and try out. Even my buddy who's collected things like the ColecoVision keyboard, doesn't have one.
I forgot you could flip the Lynx around. My buddy showed me that once when he got it. He's left handed and really appreciated that feature.
What?! Really! I'll have to go find that episode.
Too bad for the Lynx that it was released at $179 alongside the Game Boy at $90. The Lynx might have had better graphics, but the Game Boy fit in your pocket and came with Tetris.
I was surprised, when I started collecting, to learn that Atari did a handheld. My friend got the one shown in the ad, but I never played it myself.
