So far of the games I got in Mississippi I say this.

Galaxy Force 2 is a mess.
Space Harrier 2 is a shitty port of Space Harrier made harder.
Forgotten Worlds well..

I can't give an opinion of it, because I can't PLAY IT. I start up a game, I watch the opening cinematics, then the screen flashes for a second and I get a game over screen.

But now I have rented Jak 3, which I'm sure is quite bettter.

My friend has a copy of Forgotten Worlds that does that as well. He was at first upset about his purchase, much like you are now I imagine.

Soon after though, he realized it is the greatest find ever. It's a game you can brag to your friends that is completely unbeatable. You get the fun of hyping it up and leading your friend/victom on while evading why exactly it is impossible to play.

In fact, this was one of the games he and I had fun with at SGE in Austin back when we were down there. It was a hit, so to speak. You can read another game that went over well in this month's Diehard Gamefan revival magazine, Hardcore Gamer Magazine. It's the Jurassic Boy 2 special.

Forgotten Worlds is great -- though the Genesis version removes the best two levels and the best two bosses from the arcade original.

Oh well!

The full version's on that Capcom arcade collection; Youps and I played quite a lot of it at E3. The control scheme is fixed so the left stick steers, the right stick rotates, and R1 shoots. It's a little like Robotron. It works very well. Much better than the Genesis control scheme -- although you'll get used to that, should you get the game working. (Hint: turn on autofire in the options.)

2 dollars isn't much to give up!

I'm going to take Space Harrier and Galaxy Force to Blockbuster and hopefully get 50 cents for the games, I'll take the boxes for games that I have that don't have cases, like Flashback and Wings of Wor.

Yeah. You can make your own sleeves; I did that for Phantasy Star: EotM, and it worked well.

Ummm, Jak 3 made me slightly ill due to frame rate issues. Good luck with that.

It's also a lot easier than Jak 2, if easy difficulty is an issue for you, though I found it to be just right.
