Hey fellow gamers! Another Game Hunt Blog! This weekend (the super busy weekend before Christmas) is as good as any other hunt we have ever had. We had only planned to go to a new store that we found on Craigslist but decided to hit a couple of normal shops and well we hit a mini jackpot!!!! Our first stop was Game Vault and we found a mother load of NES Games In there Boxes Complete:
*3D Worldrunner ($9.95) - Complete IN BOX (Minty Condition as all the games are in this lot of NES games) with The original 3-D Glasses!!

NOTE: I'm reposting this to provide context (I plan on doing this every week), though I didn't include the photos. For those that care, the original post can be viewed, complete and intact, on my blog.
Up until a month ago, I hadn't played more than an hour of videogames in more than four years. Full-time School, that great and massive force, took all of my free time. Like a breastfeeding mother of triplets, I just didn't have any time for anything but the necessities (that being family, school, and work).
That has ended. From this moment on (or until I get too bored with it), I'm going to burn my gaming-candle at both ends. I will have to take occasional breaks for continuing education (the bane/boon of the IT industry), but for the most part every second of extra time that is not used to chip away at my large honey-do list will be spent working on my massive videogame backlog.
Enter the Backlog Gamer. I know, the name is lame. It's all I have at the moment, and will likely change in the near future.
I finished the first game on the list, Alan Wake, before I decided to write this series of articles. Because of that I will make a few comments on it then banish it to the "In The Bag" completion list and speak of it no more! Suffice to say that it is a great game that uses (but does not overuse) a light/darkness element as well as a spoken narrative by Alan Wake himself. I loved the combat, even though I heard endless bitching from reviews and other gamers about it. I plan on at some point purchasing the two DLC packs for it and maybe even making it a yearly or bi-yearly play.
Games List For This Week
Dead Space 2
Enslaved
Dig-N-Rig
Title: Dead Space 2
Platform: Steam (on PC)
Purchase Date: 1/1/12
Cost: $9.99
I am almost done with this game (I think). I could be wrong I guess, as I was sure I had reached the ending about three times now. I was surprised by the strategy required to play this game. Sure, you might be able to play the game by blasting everything in sight, but I wasn't able to. It took longer than I care to admit that this game is as much a strategy/survival-horror game as much as a third-person shooter, requiring that you spend as much time learning to use the right tool for the right necromorph encounter as possible. The story is also quite good. I especially like the way it is told, not just with cutscene footage and the audio/text logs scattered about, but also the settings and props in the rooms themselves. Some rooms will tell a story of a struggle, with mutilated corpses scattered about, while another shows whole families still on the floor next to ominous white cups.
Great game. Great buy. You should probably play it.
Title: Enslaved
Platform: Xbox 360
Purchase Date: 9/29/11
Cost: $9.99
I bought this game on a whim after hearing about someone talk about it on some gaming podcast. Overall the game is fun, but it does have some very generic gameplay progression (explore, fight, explore, learn new ability, fight, boss). I'm not a big fan of Monkey, the male protagonist, who seems as much a typical male macho-protagonist as possible. The real star of the show is the female protagonist, Trip. Her writing and acting are done in a way that conveys fear for herself, but also a great deal of empathy for Monkey, whom she enslaved. The environment, which consist of a Earth-like city overgrown by nature, is also very interesting to me.
It's not a great game so far, but the story has a hold on me, so I plan on slogging it out to the end.
Title: Dig-N-Rig
Platform: PC
Purchase Date: N/A
Cost: N/A
I downloaded this game after hearing a guest on the Giant Bombcast (it might have been Paul Barnett, though I can't remember) gush about it. The game is quite fun, if a bit on the simple side. You basically drill stuff, which creates resources, which you funnel to your home base by way of conveyor belts and lifts, then you buy new stuff, upgrade your old stuff, then dig deeper. There is an overall goal, that being to reach the core of the planet, but it may prove unattainable for some. Usually after about two hours of gameplay my drill disappears (?), so my digging activities are limited to using explosive devices.
Like I said, the game is fun, but I don't think I'll be playing this next week. On a positive note, finding this game also revealed the massive free-game vault over at Digipen (the folks who created Portal), so regardless of the outcome this game was totally worth the time.
In The Bag For 2012
Alan Wake - 1/25
Glad to see RFGen back up and running! Thanks to the whole crew for working so hard to bring back the site!
If you're like me, you lost a few recent blog posts in the restoration to a December 2011 backup, and I thought I'd share with you how you MIGHT be able to get them back.
Step 1. Open Firefox (you can probably use Chrome, IE, etc. - but the instructions here are with Firefox)
Step 2. Search Google for the titles/topics of your recent posts and/or of your blog itself. Use your best Google-fu to locate your missing entries in Google's listings.
Step 3 (**the most important step**). Hover your mouse over the Google result for your entry until a double arrow appears to the right of the listing. Hover over the arrow until an image of the RFGen site appears to the right of the arrow (it may or may not look like your missing entry). Click on the "cached" link above that image. The page you get to should look something like this.
Step 4. Select the text and images from your entry with your mouse, and then right click to "View Selection Source". Copy the source code that pops up in the little window.
Step 5. Open the RFGen blog entry creation tool, retype your title/tags, and paste the source code into the "News Body" Field. Preview and then publish your post!
Potential Additional Step 1. If you have highlighted words in your entry (carried over from Google's cached results), you will need to undo the formatting. I found it easiest to use the "replace" function of my word processor to make these adjustments to the source code, then I copied/pasted the fixed code back into the "News Body" Field.
Potential Additional Step 2. You can also copy the source code of the comments from the cached version of the page and post them (as one comment) in the comment field of your revised entry.
Good luck to everyone in bringing back their content. Ask below or shoot me a pm/email, and I will be glad to help you if you get stuck!
Okay. Seeing how many of our users ignore The Arena forum (At least, that's what I think), I figured I'd do a little advertising here. Over in said part of the Forum is a Thread regarding MAMEHub, and how to set it up. MAMEHub is a program that lets you play MAME with others Online, and it's really fun. If your looking to play some Arcade Games with others, go check the thread out. Here, I'll even link to it right here:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...um/index.php?topic=8900.0
Go try it. You might have fun! 
So I have not published a post to this blog that was actually on topic since the joint entry by noiseredux and I back in June about the GBA launch , and hopefully I can get back to some more blogging about launch games and end games this year...
One entry I am planning on writing is on the U.S. launch of the PlayStation Vita, which I am excited about and have preordered along with a few games. One phenomenon that hasnt really been explored in the blog, however, is what happens with a systems library when it is about to be replaced. That is the focus of this entry.
The Sony PSP has had an odd life. It has certainly been the most successful handheld of all time that was not made by Nintendo, and it was about as big of a success in its native Japan as it was a flop here in the United States. In the U.S., many pointed to the relative ease of piracy as the undoing of the system, as newly released games could be easily downloaded and played by anyone with minimal know-how and a web connection. It also earned a bad reputation for controls, since the large majority of Western genre games that were promoted in the U.S. traditionally relied on the use of two analog sticks on consoles (one for movement and one for the camera), and thus developers had to create workarounds of varying success on the PSP hardware.
What ended up happening, then, was that the PSP largely failed to reach the core demographic of gamers in the U.S. Instead, it became a haven for niche, older-style games and Japanese ports. It became the platform with definitive versions of games like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Final Fantasy IV. It became the platform with a lot of content-packed special editions by RPG powerhouses like Atlus and NIS, and it became a great place to pick up retro compilations. It catered to an audience that traditionally purchased its games (collectors), and gamers that were just at home with a D-pad as with a pair of analog sticks. So while the PSP had some amazing graphical showcase titles such as the God of War games and Resistance: Retribution, it is the more niche titles like Half Minute Hero and Prinny that make the platform an interesting one for collectors and will give the PSP staying power as a portable worth keeping around and accumulating titles on for years to come.
Which brings me to my central point: right now is the time to build your PSP library. I have spent some time over the holidays collecting titles that I missed out on or had sitting in my want list for several years, and the rock-bottom prices have been quite startling. Recently released games like Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together, Knights in the Nightmare, and Parasite Eve: The Third Birthday can frequently be found for under $10 new at GameStop and Amazon. Complete used copies of games from the first few years of the PSP's life are regularly found from $3-$7 a piece right now (both online and offline), and even the priciest domestic games rarely see price points over $20-$30. In the past few weeks I picked up about 25 PSP games, including three Special Editions of some well-received RPGs, and have spent barely $200 in total. People are dumping their libraries in preparation for the Vita and stores are clearing out UMDs to make more room for better selling titles; as a result this is the prime time for collectors to be picking over the spoils, as PSP games generally didnt sell very well, were produced in limited numbers, and had a small following. If I had to guess, I'd say that most PSP games will be, in general, more expensive in another year or two than they are right now. Strike while the iron is hot!
Looking across the PlayStation launch library, there are a number of games which, to this day, continue to ring familiar. NBA Jam Tournament Edition, Rayman, Ridge Racer, The Raiden Project- all of these games are part of ongoing franchises. Even launch games like Battle Arena Toshinden and ESPN Extreme spawned a number of sequels, and are familiar to most gamers. However, there were also some more obscure launch titles, one of which is the subject of this entry: Total Eclipse Turbo.
Total Eclipse Turbo is the PlayStation's version of Total Eclipse for the 3DO, a game which had been released almost a year and a half earlier for the that system (which was already starting to die by the time the PlayStation was released). The PlayStation version added a password feature and sped up the gameplay (thus the "Turbo"), and can be considered the superior version of the game. The game is an on-rails, 3D space shooter that shares some gameplay characteristics with something like Panzer Dragoon (but without lock-on). There was a Saturn exclusive sequel named Solar Eclipse. As a launch game, it is significant for several reasons...
Yes, the cover art is the same on the inside as on the outside.
This was the only 3D flying game at launch. Though the PlayStation's early days would eventually be dominated by titles like Air Combat and Warhawk, both of which used polygons to allow players to move around in space like never before, Total Eclipse Turbo is the only launch game to feature this style of graphics (albeit on very flexible rails). The engine actually uses a combination of 2D and 3D graphics to an excellent overall effect, and the experience is ultimately faster and more arcade-like than any of the aforementioned titles. Total Eclipse Turbo ends up feeling like a 3D shmup of sorts, and is the only launch game that probably didn't really fit into a traditional genre category. (The closest gameplay one may have found previously would have been in something like Star Wars: Rebel Assault or StarFox)
There is evidence that the game was rushed to meet launch. Other than the very slight additions to the game over the original 3DO version that were mentioned in the intro above, there are two other things suggest that Crystal Dynamics rushed this to the PlayStation in order to make the launch. For one, theres a discrepancy between the names of each level in the instruction manual and those in the game itself. For example, the manual lists the title of level 2 to be "Omega Nebula" whereas the game itself calls this level "Magma Prime." Second, it feels rushed because the game features a very basic and bland menu (something that was typical of many early PS1 games), which is difficult to navigate and unintuitive. If the developers spent any resources working on new presentation elements for the PlayStation, they were minimal.
Same level, different names!
Total Eclipse Turbo shouldn't be overlooked as just another clunky FMV-filled game from the early PS1 days. It features a fast and consistent framerate, forgiving gameplay and ample continues, and decent production including what, for the time, was well-done CGI and a non-typical game soundtrack. Compared to most other launch titles, the game has faded into obscurity a bit, and it obviously didn't become the powerhouse franchise that Crystal Dynamics probably had hoped for. Still, if you were standing in a store on August 30, 1995 trying to pick out a game to go with your new PlayStation, you could have done much worse.
"The more you kill, the better you feel!" Brilliant marketing!
Get it? "Da Return"? Hyuck, Hyuck.
But seriously, bad puns aside, the site is finally back Online, and I could not be happier. I would like to thank all of our wonderful Staff Members for working so hard to bring it back, and putting up with me in the Chat Room while they were doing it.
Expect a very special PGGS Entry from me later today or tomorrow. It'll be longer, and have a special mini-feature along with it.
Well, here we are, back up again. After over a week of downtime, we feel that we are ready to give this another shot as well as explain what had happened.
Last month, we were informed that our server was hosting a PayPal scam site. Our host was working with us to close up the exploit. It seems that whoever got in may have used more than an exploit. I found a couple of new domains on the server that were not set up by us. After further investigation, it was thought that they had the root password to the server. This fear was confirmed when the site went down.
Our initial check led us to the fact that our database tables had been dropped. That's bad.
This effectively removed our forum and game databases. We have been working to try to restore the forum from the information that was left on the server, but after all of the effort, we were stuck. Eddie was able to get the game database back from early December. This also included the blogs. The forum, however, was not so lucky.
The initial forum restoration that we found was from 2009. This included the member table. I happened to attempt to make a backup back in January, but it only partially backed up. Fortunately, this was successful in including the member list and even PMs. So, while we have now lost a ton of the forum, that can be recreated. The important part is that we were able to recover a fairly recent backup of the game DB and almost all of our members (not sure how many registered in the few weeks since my backup).
Now what happens? This experience has certainly left an impression on me as well as Dave, Eddie, and Mike. We will be implementing means to do (starting off) biweekly backups and as we get things honed in, we hope to get this down to possibly daily. We will also be working to have a system in place to test these backups and make sure they are good to prevent this sort of downtime in the future as well as making it easier for us to move hosts in the future should we need to do so.
We are very sorry that this has happened and that it was down for so long. We hope that it hasn't tarnished our image for you and that you continue to come back. Personally, I appreciate everyone that came in to the IRC room during the down time to keep the conversation going and your words of encouragement really meant a lot. The community has always been fantastic here and now that we're back up, I hope we continue to get stronger as a result. Thank you for your patience with me and my stubbornness to try everything I could to try to get it back to where it was before the disaster struck.
Welcome back to Channel 3!

Hey everybody!
The RF Generation app is now officially on the Android Market!
https://market.android.co...id=com.jgrue.rfgeneration
New features since the beta I posted include searching, an image viewer, and numerous bugfixes. If you installed the old beta, please uninstall it first, or you may experience issues installing the new version from the market. Updates will be smooth after that.
I thought about putting out another beta, but why keep making everyone come back and check my blog for updates when your phone could just notify you when a new version is out? And since I'm just a development team of one, it's really a perpetual beta anyway. I'll do my best to fix any issues reported in the forum thread and get updates pushed out on the market quickly.
Now that it's up... I'm going to pretty much start over. This was my first app and the code is a mess. I already wrote a second app that went much smoother and quicker, so I'll be able to apply everything I've learned to RFG App 2.0 to make it even better than this one.
As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome. Enjoy!
November is already over? Time sure does fly, and another month brings a ton of new submissions to this place we call home. Just how many submissions occurred? Well, November brought exactly 4866 new submissions to the site. Of those, we had 1299 new images added to the site! Talk about a great month! You all were kicking butt with submissions!
Of course, one of you truly was the top submitter in November. That distinction goes to NES_Rules with 1304 submissions! Sure, he may be the Site Director but that does not mean he can't take top prize! Oh wait... sure it does. The top non-staff submitter was Bildtstar with 1025 submissions! That's more submissions than any staff member other than that certain Site Director!We also wish to thank Bildtstar for assisting with expanding our European PS2 database. It's appreciated, and we also appreciate everyone who submitted. We are truly grateful for all submissions, and though we can't thank each and every user we would like to at the least thank those users that submitted more than 100 things: Shadow Kisuragi, Tynstar, ApolloBoy, raffa1985, Necron99, and Alabama Shrimp. Thanks again to all made submissions in November!
Of course, member submissions are meaningless if people do not exist to approve them. I'd like to thank Shadow Kisuragi for being our top approver this month. He approved 1149 of the submissions. That's a lot. Of course, Paully3433, ApolloBoy, and Tynstar also helped with approvals, and it's appreciated!
So, December is here! Do you feel the Holiday Cheer? Here's to a great month of submissions!
I finally got the willpower mustered up to shelf my King of Fighters addiction and get back to NESing it up. I spent far to much time trying to beat Mike Tyson in Punch Out!! over the last few days. I've beaten him twice in the past and cant see why I'm having so much trouble with him this time. I'm probably spent 6 -7 hours on just the Tyson fight alone, which is crazy. He is hard, but not that hard. I'm hoping that its just a small amount of lag thats is holding me back so I'm going to add it to my "record with a VCR" pile and hope things go smoother on a TV setup.
I really wanted something fun after that frustration so I popped in a charming little platformer, Yo! Noid. Its a fun game that I've spent time with in the past. It really helped me unwind from hours of defeat at the hands of Iron Mike. Nothing to crazy and got it done without much trouble. Finally, that first game I've finished in over a week now.
Followed that up with some Xexyz. Got to stage 5 and wrote the code down. There are a few blinking sprite issues, but they seem very minor. I'll keep moving forward as I can, but if it gets to hard later in the game I may have to finish it up on a VCR also. I really need to track down a couple good condition tapes to record these on.

Hello Fellow Gamers! This is the second edition with updated photos of my brothers and mine collector's editions. We have of course acquired quite a few more since our last post. My brother and I have a huge interest in collecting collector or limited editions of all sorts of games. Most of our collector and limited editions REMAINED SEALED!! I know some of you are probably asking why buy them and not open them?? Well as a hardcore collector we collect anything and everything video game related with all video game collector's ultimate goals to own EVERYTHING! but that will never happen of course because there is so much out there and you need unlimited money to get it (I wish life had a Game Genie). We are just very into collecting these games because who knows at some point they could be valuable and we will be like WOW we have that. FOR EXAMPLE - we have the Fallout 3 Amazon Survival Edition it is out of print and one sold on eBay a while back for nearly $1,000. And guess what ours is SEALED! Some of my favorite collector's editions are Uncharted 3 (see other blog for that), Skyrim, Ace Combat 6, Fallout 3 - Lunchbox Edition, Records of Agrest War The first Release - The Naughty Edition, Halo Reach Legendary (SEALED) and the Hardened Edition (that one is opened for pleasure).
Collecting collector or limited editions is kind of a hobby on it's own. Where did it begin well I think they started back with Sega Genesis (who knows maybe further). On the Genesis the only game I have pictured and have three of but just the best one is pictured is John Madden Football Championship Edition. Then more modern you go to N64 with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Collector's Edition which in traditional Nintendo from the NES Days is a Gold cart while the original release is a gray cart, which is the opposite of the NES. Special editions are a great addition to anyone's collection. I know some just don't care about collector's editions and some just collect games out of the box (traditionally for older games) too each is own. Special editions yes for one cost more but they just look so much better in your collection and two they just plain ROCK!

NOTE: This entry WILL contain spoilers!! Read at your own risk!! Also, this is a matter of opinion on my part.
Is there any game out there you have fond memories of playing, for any reason at all? Very few games, especially now, can be called Perfect, but before the 7th Generation of gaming, there were 3 that stood out from the rest, and earned the title of Perfection. Here they are:
This is Shenmue, and according to a lot of people, it's a timeless classic. People LOVE this game, usually for it's compelling story. A tale of revenge, this game series has yet to be completed by Sega, but to this day, myself and many fans remain hopeful that Shenmue III will be released someday.
What's Perfect About It: It's Story is what makes it stand out from the rest. This game's Story is what has made it so fun and flawless to this day.
This is Phantasy Star Online: Episode I&II for Gamecube. It is, without a doubt, the greatest MMORPG ever conceived, and I have logged countless hours into it. I have good and bad memories of it, and the overall experience is a very fond memory of mine, making this now hard-to-find game more than qualified to be called Perfect.
What's Perfect About It: This game will draw you in with it's addictive gameplay and multiplayer aspect, AND it can be played Offline with split-screen multiplayer, making it one hell of a party game for the hardcore gamer.
This, my friends, is Chrono Cross, and it is the epitome of perfection in gaming. Chrono Cross is a dimension-traversing RPG Adventure without flaw, and this is due to EVERYTHING in it. It's characters, story, setting, and gameplay all come together to create the perfect gaming experience in the form of two CDs. In my truest, most honest opinion, NOTHING can compete with Chrono Cross in the world of gaming. Everyone knows this to be my favorite game of all time, and I have yet to find a game to surpass it, and I probably never will. 
What's Perfect About It: EVERYTHING. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this game. It surpasses even the mightiest of games, including Final Fantasy VII and Grandia. Ahead of it's time as it was though, it never caught the attention of most RPG Gamers, which is very sad. Fortunately, this game is on the PS3 as a PSOne Classic now though, and can be enjoyed by everyone for the low price of 10 Dollars. Go buy this game. You'll get more than your money's worth, and you will NOT regret it. I think that everyone should be able to find something about this game that they'll enjoy. I love RPGs, but this game cuts down every other RPG in the world, no matter how tall they stand.
Anyway, that's it for this entry. This is ReddMcKnight, signing off.
I received this custom painted PAL nintendo 64 from a user over at nintendoage, Zoki64, for $55. It is a beautiful paint job and now I'm motivated to go buy more PAL games.
Here is a picture he took himself which does it much more justice.
This was a craigslist lot I offered $18 for. Silicon Valley is a rather pricey game and Mystical Ninja is certainly an expensive title so I think It was a decent deal. Puzzle League is new to my collection. Jet Force Gemini is a duplicate and so is Tetrisphere.
WWF Wrestlemania 2000 $2, Madden 99 $0.50. I already have madden but I can't get my copy to work even after cleaning. I went through and tested all of my current collection, I want to be sure they all do work.
My girlfriend gave me this, it is to replace mine which has a messed up label. She had no need for it anymore.
Bought this off of someone on nintendoage for $35 shipped. Neon Genesis Evangelion with manual and a region converter for a NA n64. This is one of the more expensive JAP exclusives, normally goes or $30-$40 cart only so I got a pretty good deal on this. And the converter was much needed because I've been using my gameshark which has not been working with much success.
RF cables for $2 and perfect Dark for $1.
Namco Museum $4 and an Extreme Green controller for $14
$4. I already have it but the label is messed up on my copy. I recently tested all of my games and wrote down which ones don't work or are in bad condition. I will eventually replace them all. There were only about 10 or so.
Hydro Thunder for $12 plus shipping. This grey version is quite rarer than the already uncommon blue version. I don't think it's that high in value but it certainly is harder to find.
Was at half price books and saw these. Wasn't really looking for games but figured I would get them. I figured it was around the cheapest I'd find these games plus in such great condition. Sarge's Heroes $3, Beetle Racing $2.
