Lmao you gonna be putting in work with the fight stick.



Found my Genesis. Couldn't try it out though guess I'm gonna need a converter or something.
 

   Nice man! Get yourself some A/V cables (be sure it's for the 2nd Genesis version) and then pick up one of those "composite to HDMI" converters .

^ that's that johnny-come-lately version of the genesis

Anyone remember Ballz??

Such a crazy fighting game. Had wild finishing moves and everything. Characters like a ballerina and a monkey and a caveman.

Went a few pages back and didn't see anything on this.

Thoughts? Anyone happen to have one?

Aside from it being totally unlicensed. I don't think it's that strong of a product. You can get a much better arcade style experience and cheaper at that. I know a thing or two about arcade sticks/arcade machines.

 
  That thrift store had one more jewel to give up.  So happy to pick this bad boy up for $5

Always wanted to play Street Fighter with this thing, swear I had a kool-aid smile going home after this pick up.

Not worth getting this for Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition or Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers. Not worth it. Remember, Street Fighter requires 6 buttons! If you want a better Mega Drive/Genesis solution, there are other options.

If you want the optimal Street Fighter II experience, I'd suggest getting a USB arcade stick (there are tons of options) and playing it off a PC/emulation.

Ahh I see.  Thanks for the info, guess I could use it for other games though.

For sure. It's a great product and anything that doesn't require extra buttons would be fine on it.

I remember back in the 16-bit days when I had Super Street Fighter II Turbo Special Championship Edition on Genesis, I would use the 6 button pad and give my friends the 3 button. The struggle of hitting the "mode" button to switch to punch and kick buttons was real.

Care to expound? I know the price isn't the cheapest, but this has a lot of the old arcade games I played and the sticks seem decent.

Was it a universal rule that no one could use odd job in goldeneye64?

It was classified as the same rules as nobody can use da bomb in nfl blitz..

 

[All Ready]

I was cold as hell at goldeneye and didn't care if people used oddjob

his head was hip fire level anyway pause

I would always get the accuracy and most deadly award

besides, scrubs would always gravitate to oddjob

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

The weakest player always pick oddjob like a draft pick..
But it really didn't matter..

 

[Fresh Like Will]

We definitely banned Odd Job.

I remember that if you pressed the Z button on the back of the n64 controller would be an automatic kick out in the wrestling games.

 

[shogun]

I thought it was the joystick that automatically stopped a pin.

Nah, if you tapped the Z button, it was automatic.

I remember playing with my cousins and friends and we would watch eachother to make sure nobody pressed that button.
