Family has a road trip planned before I have to go back to college and I own a 3DS to take with me. Thinking about loading it up with some games from Virtual Console store.

In particular, the Game Boy Final Fantasy games, which I've never ever played.

Which one should I get? Final Fantasy Legend 1 or 2 or 3? Final Fantasy Adventure?

Never played them, so I don't want to go into it blind. Any recommendations?

I'm looking to find out what an old game I played a long time ago was called.

It was a DOS, isometric fantasy game but I remember it being really funny and vulgar. All I can remember is that you could kill anything, and I there there was a chicken at the beginning that you could kill.

Picture not the game, but it sorta looked like this.

It is Autumn of 1994. Sonic & Knuckles has just been released to critical acclaim, and it seems like the only way for SEGA to go is up. (you) have been put in charge of bringing the Sonic franchise to the next generation.

How do you proceed?

Is Phantasy Star a "classic"?

Theoretically, in an alternate universe, assuming Sega could actually get their shit together and wasn't incredibly autistic, do you think it would be physically possible for them to re-enter the hardware business and actually turn a profit? Imagine:
>base price of $300
>attractive and streamlined, but with just enough of a quirky design to look intriguing, black with some colorful accents, no nostalgia fanservice -- entirely new branding
>solid, ergonomic controller with no gimmicks
>console doesn't focus on raw power, but rather ease of programmability
>affords developers a slightly bigger cut of game sale proceeds than the competition, which, combined with being easy to code, incentivizes third party support
>online is free (or extremely cheap), and every user gets a free choice of, say, 5 older Sega titles to enjoy right off the bat, out of a catalog of 100 or so
>a few solid launch titles, with a focus on brand new Sega-developed IPs rather than rehashes of older Sega properties, although one or two classic series as well

Personally, I do not think Sega could actually pull this off, because to this day they cannot even figure out how to make a decent Sonic game. However, if they weren't retarded, the only way I could see this working is if they ditched the nostalgia factor (no "Dreamcast 2" bullshit), and basically re-invented themselves, while still providing the unique experiences they are known for. Could it be done?

I recently found a large selection of classic game consoles from my late grandfather's house. I don't really know much about games pre 90s so I was hoping someone could help me figure out how much this stuff is worth.

Pictures will follow in the next posts, but in general I have:
>Magnavox Odyssey
Original box is gone, but instead it's in a white hard case with a handle.
>Odyssey Shooting Gallery
Just the gun and the box. Not totally sure what else was supposed to come with it
>Commodore Vic-20
Seems to be complete
>Amiga 500
Also seems to be complete, though I don't know what it could be missing
>Commodore monitor
Not totally sure what to list this as but it has "1084" on the front bottom left
>Various cassettes
I surprisingly have no idea what these actually go to but they all seem to be purchased from RadioShack. No cassettes reader to play them on though.

Help would definitely be appreciated. Pictures in next posts.

It is late 1992 and the 3DO is in mid-development stage. You are a software technician working alongside Trip Hawkins. Hawkins is serisouly considering having people other than Panasonic finish up and distribute the 3DO. What will you do to convince him to change his mind on letting people like Goldstar(at least for the Western game market) go ahead and make their versions of the 3DO. Do you try and convince him to stick solely with Panasonic, or just be more selective on who is allowed to manufacture 3DO system models, jump ship, or other?

Is Actraiser any good? If I like god sims and monster-em-ups will I like this game?

How about the sequel? I heard it's just action and no sim, but how does it compare to the first game?

What are the best versions of Wizardry? Specially the first three ones, in which there seems to be a divide between SFC and PS.
