    Yeah, I can imagine that.

    I wish someone would invent a more Sega-centric version of the Nerd.

I mean I understand he can only review games he actually has, but in that case he should've just not dissed the system. It would be like if I reviewed ten bad SNES games and concluded that the whole system sucks. That works when its a system like the Virtual Boy which didn't have very many games, but not something like the Sega CD.
    Alot of AVGN's angle is coming to terms and putting the final verdict in. He basically is justifying in his mind that he really didn't need a Sega CD as much as he thought he did as a child.

    I myself, like alot of people here who mainly played the SNES/Genesis probably wanted a Sega CD but their parents wouldn't buy one for them because of the cost.

    The FMV crap ruined the Sega CD's legacy, but what I wouldn't give to go back to 1994 with a fresh copy of Snatcher as a child

    I feel the same way about CinemaSnob. I found that guy insufferable, but he's got fans all over the net.

    He plays a character called the "Cinema Snob". He's supposed to be insufferable.

    The leveling up in River City Ransom does take a very, very long time. Still, a cult classic icon from the 8-bit era that deserves all of its praise.

    I personally never cared much for RCR, either. Most people rave about that game. Not horrible but not my cup of tea.

    I think the "idea" of the game might be more well loved than actual playing of the game. Its mixture of rpg elements, cutesy graphics, and humor made it quite a memorable experience after all, and sometimes our memories are superior to the actual object of the memory. With that said, River City Ransom rocks and I eagerly await its return to the Wii's virtual console.

    Did it get taken off the Virtual Console? I downloaded that game on the Wii Virtual Console a couple years ago. I do like the game and think it is a classic, but the leveling up was long and tiring. You were in double trouble if you didn't know which items yielded the highest gains.

    Isn't River City Ransom EX (GBA) the way to go now?

    (I still hope someone will one day translate the 68k version, which apparently is even more complex.)

    Oh! My mistake. I meant WiiWare and not the Virtual Console. There is allegedly a sequel on the way to Wiiware of Japan.

    Pretty much, the save ability is what the game needed from the start, not the long passwords of the NES version. Although the cracked out save system in the GBA remake should have been massively simplified before the game was released.

    Be it as that may, the code is a sacred mantra, a gift from the Heavens. To regard it is as profane is punishable by being buried alive along with a dump truck full of E.T. cartridges.
