@no_donatello Considering Wade's Atari is helping bankroll the project to finally get units of the line and into boxes, A Jagaur module wouldn't be too off the mark.

@Sketcz Not to mention the CD-i uses... CD-i disks instead of CD-ROMs.

@RupeeClock One of the theories being floated around is that this prototype was made to sell Mike Tyson (and other boxers) on putting their name and likeness in game. The blank space in the artwork on the cartridge screams "You could be here!". Even more so considering this prototype has a CIC lock-out chip, which implies this was meant to be used with retail hardware rather than development kits.

Take your bets! How long will this stay up for?

People seem to forget that the Mega/Sega CD wasn't just a CD-ROM drive like it was for the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine.

@PXAbstracftion Even more so without Yazhee being the only good thing on it.

@Zeebor15 There are more expensive Atari 2600 carts, but it's one of the most advanced and best gameplay games on the OG VCS, the price makes sense.

Also, H.E.R.O. has been re-released in the past, but not since 2012 as an Easter Egg in Black Ops 2.

@gojiguy LINE MUST GO UP! LINE MUST GO UP! /s

@Thad Catscratch for one.... And that's about it.

Yeah, yeah, talk to the creator of Dilbert on how well that worked. Oh wait. You can't.

@SlangWon Wasn't there a movie planned for it, alongside Space Channel 5?

@PopetheRev28 Thought they used the MIL-CD exploit for homebrew games.

@Zeebor15 I know as much as you.

@Zeebor15 That's not a book, that's a whole damn library. Very on brand for you. And I mean this as a compliment.

@Zeebor15 You're like a Dwarf with your spreadsheet of "Who owns what". Do you have a separate spreadsheet of grudges?

Where has all the RUM I mean RAM gone?

@Mrakey Disagree on the Sega CD. The Sega CD wasn't a failure, just a premium expansion that few could afford. The 32x on the other hand, yeah, that was a FUBAR. TBH, if Sega Mars program was scrapped and had it's development crew try to make the Saturn backwards compatible with the Genesis/Mega Drive and Sega/Mega CD, MAYBE the Saturn could of been a bit more successful outside of Japan?

I prefer to call it "The Hapsburg Effect"

@MontyMole Don't you mean Dragon's Lair?

@kingmustard My guess is that it's cheaper to rent a van than to rent a storage unit.

@gojiguy Me thinks no.

Feels like Nintendo is the exception rather than the rule. That's scary to think.

@Guru_Larry Hello to you too, Larry.

Wade is a genius just for being able to pick up everything about the Intellivision except the amico. How the heck was he able to separate that still-born turd from the brand?!

@RossoftheRobots It never stops thinking.

@mariteaux Even more so when you consider the 2600 only has 640 BYTES of RAM. Those who code for it then and now are truly software wizards.

The irony is not lost on me, with one of the games in question is where you play as a noble thief.

JOHN MADDEN, JOHN MADDEN, JOHN MADDEN, FOOTBALL!

aeiou.

Another sad example of someone inventing the Electric Robot Satan from the hit series "Don't invent the Electric Robot Satan"

@JJtheTexan I think the original box had something similar on it.

@N00BiSH To be fair, the effort put into it makes it almost funny. Almost.

@Zeebor15 Relic actually left Sega's ownership sometime ago.

@Zeebor15 Sega ain't giving up Two Point Studios without a fight! And uh, Roivo too.

@TryToBeHopeful To be fair, this was 1992 in Hungary. The Iron Curtain had only just recently fell.

@Atariboy It's still war profiteering. They're still feeding A war machine, even if it's a "moral" one.

@N00BiSH It's the Crash Twinsanity of Pac-Man. Heck, if made, it would be the first time World 3 was released in Japan.

@Atariboy I feel like the only way Ms Pac Man returns is if Namco buys up AtGames. Which is unlikely since the price AtGames paid for the royalties was at least $10 Million.

Just in time too, since the game's calendar gets stuck in 2029. (The game can see 2030, but once you save and reload, it goes back to January 2029. I think it's the Moon Festival that borks the clock.)

So what you're saying is... THE PIPES ARE BROKEN!

So Japan's first video game is a train simulator... Yea, sounds about right.

Blast Processing is even more blasphemous now!

@slider1983 The main gimmick is that these games will continue to get patches and support for years to come, even if they are delisted. Looking at you, Warcraft 1 & 2.

@Lowdefal Wasn't there also an issue where Mattel sold their own NES consoles and games that weren't compatible with the ones Nintendo sold?

Yuck. Looks as bad to type on as a Sinclair computer.

Well there goes another blow to the concept of a fair and just universe.

@RupeeClock There is a separate numpad that pairs well with the keyboard, if you don't mind paying extra for it.

@Zeebor15 When will we ever get an English version of the HD version...

Reminder that Mighty Number 9 is now owned by Level 5. I think that explains why they seem to have trouble actually releasing games these days...

Kind of wondering why Nintendo didn't partner with Iomega to make the 64DD use Zip Disks. But then again, this was hot of the heels of the Sony (and then latter Phillips) deal so....

Interesting how they labeled Puyo Puyo separately, it's lucky that they at least know (or hopefully) know that everything they don't already own of it is in D4's catalog.

That said, outside of music related stuff (Like Sonic 1-3), what's the biggest hole Sega might have when it comes to IPs?

@zeebor15 I must commend your work on untangling the messy web of "Who owns what in Gaming?" Salutes.
(Though PLEASE add Toontown Online to the Walt Disney umbrella, been annoying me for a while seeing it missing)

@Zeebor15 I honestly feel like this kind of thing deserves it's own website. Call it "Who Owns What" or "The Gaming Forest"
