Phantasy Star Zero wallpaper (click for full-size), unlocked on the Japanese website by entering one of the item download codes. There might be more than this one, but all the codes I tried resulted in the same one.
While I was looking up codes — and now that I’m far enough in the game to use them — I went ahead and entered a bunch of codes in the game. So far, the weapons I’ve used the most are a giant Mario warp pipe cannon and an issue of Dengeki DS.
Buy: Phantasy Star Zero ($33.99)

Fresh set of remixes for Rye Rye’s debut single “Bang(1).” The A side features the original, the instrumental and the acapella but all the real action is on the flip, where Buraka Som Sistema gets not one, but two remixes. The first(2) employs a couple traditional Bmore elements (gun claps, horn stabs) and puts them over a hyperactive break beat, all while the siren from Star Trek blares in the background. On the second one(3) they stick to the electro side of things, with ravey synths and whistles all going full stop. Philly’s own DJ Sega rounds out the collection with a club remix(4) that recalls that relentless breakbeat, letting the kicks rest to accentuate Rye Rye’s hyperactive rhymes. Recommended. reviewed by Hires 07/06/2009 (via Rye Rye - Bang Remixes (Buraka Som Sistema, DJ Sega) 12” - Turntablelab.com)

The recent revelation of NBA Jam/Hangtime’s rejected Mortal Kombat court brought back old feelings of resentment over Mutant League Basketball, the third Sega Genesis game in Electronic Arts’ alternative sports series that was never completed or unreleased.
I played Mutant League Football and Hockey to death with my friends and cousins, and would’ve loved to have a monster-filled update of Arch Rivals in our after-school video gaming rituals, whilst avoiding homework and recovering from Batman: The Animated Series reruns.
Apparently, this wasn’t the only Mutant League game that went unreleased — did you know that there was a fourth title planned for the series? In 1993, Electronic Arts worked on a project called Mutant League Speed Demons, but the game was shelved for undisclosed reasons. Someone stumbled on a prototype cart for the game last month, but there was unfortunately no data on it.
I wonder if it was a Mario Kart-styled racer? Or perhaps a motorcycle title like EA’s Road Rash? After all, the other Mutant League releases were built on existing engines for the company’s other games (e.g. Madden ‘93, NHL ‘93).
Another interesting thing I stumbled on while researching the series: there’s a portable edition of Mutant League Football! The game was included with EA Replay, a 2006 compilation of the publisher’s classic console and PC games for PSP. I hade no idea this existed!
The PSP version includes wireless multiplayer and even displays Mutant League Football at a higher resolution. Plus, it’s only $9.79 on Amazon! Not a bad deal seeing as it also includes Syndicate, Desert Strike, and more.

Virtua Fighter LCD game, purchased this weekend at the City-Wide Garage Sale. The Odyssey 2 I also picked up, by the way, works just fine, and I totally played some, uh, Crypto-Logic.
These Tiger handhelds are kind of fascinating to me. They aren’t fun at all, unlike, say, Game and Watches, and, unlike Game and Watches, most of these came out post-Game Boy, so they had something good to compare to. Saying that this Virtua Fighter even remotely approximates the “real” game is pretty generous. And yet plenty of us had these things. Were we all just suckers?
I tried to shoot video of this thing in action, to demonstrate the amusingly similar character designs, but my videos kept displaying sideways. Here’s someone else’s footage:

Sega Shadow Run - City Hall Matrix Map

The only thing missing here is an XBand. Which I had for the SNES and pwned mofo’s daily and nightly. MKII all day, every day, and I didn’t give a shit if my mom needed the phone. If I had a bulletin board to update or if Kitana was thirsty for blood, everyone else’s shit had to wait.

Maybe the best RPG… EVAR!
When I was growing up I didn’t have a SNES; I had a Sega Genesis. This meant that instead of having Mario Bros, I had Sonic the Hedgehog. Instead of Final Fantasy I had Phantasy Star, and so on. It was tolerable, for the most part. Sure I missed out on great games but at least I had the blood-soaked version of Mortal Kombat to make up for it, as well as some other Sega Gems. Thing is though, when I was about 8 years old I bought a gaming magazine and found this image on one of it’s pages. It was an advertisment for Chrono Trigger, artwork done by legendary Akira Toriyama (of DragonBall Z fame), with innovative RPG gameplay, awesome characters and an oh-so-epic storyline.
It was everything a nerd like me could ever want.
For years I had to struggle with this unnatainable wish. The game, of course, exclusive to the SNES and wasn’t available for Sega Genesis. Time came crawling through and eventually new generations of videogames appeared, leaving my long lost dream abandoned but not forgotten. After so many years I got to play awesome RPGs like Pokemon, Baldur’s Gate, Persona 3, Final Fantasy XII and World of Warcraft, just to name a few. They were all excelent, but the awesomness and mystical adventure of that was held by that one Chrono Trigger advertisement image could never be deleted from my mind. Those magical characters, the poetry within the snow. Maybe I was just exagerating my whole life. Maybe my expectations were ilogically high due to years of frustration and desire. I never had the chance to find out… until today.
Turns out the game came out for Nintendo DS, which I own, so I got a hold of it and began playing it today. People: this game is everything I imagined and wanted it to be ever since I was a kid. It took all my expectations and somehow exceded them. This could very well be one of my favorite games ever. The characters are just too cool and well written, and the battle system is incredibly elaborate and seem like the most future sighted thing that could have been done back on it’s realease in 1995. The art is heart-melting and I can’t find one thing to worth complaining about this game. I am so happy to have played it today. Thank god I don’t have class tomorrow because I swear I will do nothing besides play Chrono Trigger and maybe eat. In fact, the only reason I’m writing this right now is because I’m recharging my Nintendo DS’s bateries.
The wait has been long. 14 years, as a matter of fact.
Now I’m gonna play the shit out of the motherfucking awesome game.Good night, everyone.
