Winnsock 07/19/20 5:02:15 PM #2:	I grew up with a Sega Genesis. When you saw that Konami ribbon logo at startup with that awesome sound, you knew you were in for a great time. I used to rent Sunset Riders, Hyperstone Heist and Tournament Fighters all the time until I finally owned them. Still need to get around to adding Castlevania Bloodlines, Rocket Knight Adventures and Hard Corps to the collection. <cite>Winnsock posted [p:942316122] in It's amazi...

A change in management (I believe) who discovered that pachinko machines, spa clubs, and mobile games got them far more money with far less effort than actually making games. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:942316622] in It's amazi...
