2600 maynot have been innovative, but 5200 *deserves* the credit for 2 concepts Nintendo always gets the credit for, first being analog stick, second being 4 controller ports.


See how influencial Atari was on thegaming community? Join me in my quest ot revive thier tainted *name.

I might still try and get some mario time in today but I been busy uploading Sonic 2 and MKII videos for the new site so I might not have time. I guess I'll just spend a few minutes running around in NSMB on DS

Not true even. Segas was founded by a US citizaen who went to Japan for Military and say how popular arcades were in that country. he bought out a couple of Slot machine and Jukebox facrtories and created SErvice GAmes.

They have ALYWAYS been based in Japan. The problem is they focused more on US than Japan because they DOMINATED arcades everywhere and thought they could take US from Nintendo because they knew they couldn't in Japan. It's Nintendos home land too you know.  



UPDATE


OK I maybe was a little off, it seams SMS is the system Sega had a stronger footing in. I always thought Genesis did too but it wasnt that sucessful over their either.

I was talking about Genesis, Nintendo was not the 'clear winner' only in japan. They had to fight hard in US.

Overal the difference between Genesis and SNES final numebrs wasnt far enough to say they creamed them. Only in Japan did they truly kill Sega.

>>>Hate to break it to you but Sega and Atari are basically names, not real companies anymore. It is sad but true<<<


I know, I think I mentiond that in my post too.

Well true for Atari anyways, Sega is still the same as its always been, they've changed owners several times since being established, so just cuz they have new ownership deosnt mean they dont exsist, they still operate in the same buildings, with the same staff and own the same property and have the same games.

Atari I agree is dead. Time Warner broke them into 2 divisions and sold them off seperatley, one to Midway, who gobbled up the IP and disbanned the name, and the other to divison swicthed hands a couple of times before getting bought by Hasbor and turned int Hasbor Interactive, sold that to Infogrames who only wanted the IP and NAME and decided Atari was a more viable name than thier own (sad I know)


Yet Atari and Sega both have a HISTORY and they hold special memeories for millions of people so thier NAMES alone will live forever.



I found that with the wiim being an impusle buyer I am now grabbing VC games like thier candy and have already more than I will liekly get around to playing but keep getting more. So Ill be the first to say this

not even close. Im unemployed and running a dead end POS website just to have spending cash. I ususally get my parents to buy me videos games I wont play. Um getting back to topic at hand.


I have changed my loyalty once more. Since my first game systems was an Atari, and my sister got meone for my birthday I am now an Atari fanboy. Go atari. PLus that kick ass DBZ game is made by the company that bought (stole) thier name.


We should all petition Atari and SEGA to team up and make a new game system together. They can call it the Phoenix  


BUY ATARI GAMES FORGET SONY

Sega  OWNED Europe (or parts of it). They flopped in Japan and fought tooth and nail in US. It's cuz Japan was the only territory Nintendo *stomped* them in. Till the evil Sony came on the scene that is.  I could look for the sales numbers but don't really have time.

To be honest I do it, but not Nintendo, SEGA. Sometimes I buy a game just cuz Sega made it and dont even play it after the intial purchase. I go back and forth on who I like more, Nintendo or Sega but its always pretty close. Niether come close to Midway though, the're my all time favorite just cuz MK is my favorite series period.

« on: March 08, 2007, 09:08:26 AM »

I am with spike and ian, there are LOTS of bands I *HATE* but that have one or two songs I like. Its not hard. I can't stand green day, hate them with a passion, but I like Good Riddance, its a good song. They got lucky and  happened to make one decent song.


It's also possible to like a band/singer and still find songs you hate by them. Like Snoop, I have been a fan since the begining. I have had every single album he has released, I have every soundtrack to every movie he has done songs for or stared in, I bought True Crime cuz he was in it, bottom line I like his music and am a  big fan. BUT he still manages to come up with utter crap I can't stand from time to time. Mostly cuz he is so spread out that he does songs with everybody (except mean grean records you baztard!) and he gets stuck doing songs with people who flat out suck. Plus he got kinda wierd once he invented his own langauge.

Thanks shiftkey, and everyone else. I am going to consider everything you guys have said. I have looked into the hosting it form here and our internet service provider doesn't offer much in the line of options. We're kinda in the middle of nowhere in a small town in the dessert.


We already began building in on yahoo using bage builder. If i was to switch over to a better service would I be able to save my existing pages as htm files and upload them using publisher? Supposedley Yahoo lets you do this but I have never figured out how to make it work.


It would seam that thier best plan is still far lowerer than our needs so we will definately have to switch over eventualy and maybe should consider doing so before we get too deep into this. For those that are curious what we are doing if you PM me I can provide a link to the stuff I am working on and see what you think.

I have tried shopping around for webhosting services but haven't really any clue how to find a good cost effective service. For now we might stick with Yahoo until the need to move arises and hoefully by then we will have the money to upgrade. Truth be told, Yahoo hosting sucks and if I wasn't already using them I wound't have even started it with them but i already had a plan I was able to upgrade.

I like Halo its a fun game.


I don't agree with fanboyism either. I had an NES, switched to Genesis, got Ps1 and N64 same day, then GC, now a Wii and I want a 360. Good games are good games no matter who makes them. and COD3 was a good game btw.

Plus Halo 3 will crush ps3.

I know all that we have server 2003 and we are considering running everything just like that. For now we are going to continue to use the yahoo hosting plan I already have set up just because we need to get this going fast and don't have time to wait and get the servers set up.



>>Good luck with that. *snicker*<<


Well for the most part vista seams to run pretty decent for us, we have bussiness premium installed and it seams to work ok, media center SUCKS so far thats for sure, so we might refrain from using that period.

Ok so there was something else I needed to ask but I am not sure how to put it.

This site is way bigger than anything I have ever worked on so it is somewhat overwhelming at times. I have been working non stop on it and so far haven't gotten a tenth of the work I need done. Its nice that I don't have a regular job right now so I can devote my full attention to this but its very time consuming and stressful.

Well I am going to be helping out a lot on this new site and pretty much letting rats collectibles go for awhile. I have actual sponsors this time and also will have help editing the pages. Plus I am not desgining it by myself I am going to have lots of help. This site is going to be HUGE once we get it going. Plus we are VERY SERIOUS about this site, WAY MORE than Ratscollectibles. rats colelctibels was a hobby site justf or the hell of it, and it keeps getting better. this new site is for REAL money so I am going to make it look the best I can.



Getting back to video capture, where could I find these programs? The PC we are running will have 2 full Gigs of ram and vista and running media center so thats shouldnt be a big problem. Bandwidth we are still shopping for. The site wont be up for a while, depending on how long it takes to get the videoss we need up and at good quality.

There will most definaltey be forums plus some form of feedback form but I will not have any part on those. I might sqeeze in as a mod if I want but I doubt I would want the headache.


Thanks for all the replies, especially IM. He motivates me now more than anything, what a good friend.

Ok well phase one of the sites development is nearing completion, we should begin phase two shrotly. We found away to get the videos without having to do any capturing so nevermind all of that.


Since nobody replied I guess this thread is dead, so the mods are free to lock this if they want.

Stay cool and love peace and chicken grease.

« on: March 05, 2007, 06:32:20 AM »

Ok so I was in a hurry when i typed that yesterday. So right now all I was wondering is whast the easiest way to capture screans from a video game and get them onto a PC? THe new website we are making is going to be heavy on video captures and I'd kinda like them to be the best quality there is. Since this website is going to get a lot more funding than any previous site I have ever worked on I want to make it the absolute best I can. Any suggestions?


Also I am going to be looking for off site contributions, there *may* be if not monatary compensation, perhaps material compensation if things go well enough. If the contributions are worth it of course there iwll be financial gain possible. The new site is going to be very strongly video game based but not like this here wonderful site nor any site that I have been able to find. ANywyas I cant say much else now but I have a lot of things I'd like to ask the good people here if you'd all be kind enough to help. Anyone who might wanna know more or who can maybe help with my delima please feel free to PM me or email me or whatever it takes.

Also I have questions regarding servers and hosting that I might need help with. Ive always used yahoo webshoting but they kinda suck right now and would like to consider hosting it our selves or ona better service. so the next quesion is


Who is a good web hosting service? Good being better features and stuff and cheaper than yahoo. Ok well thats all for now gota go Ill check back latter for replies but I wont be on as much as usual for a while (and I know that pleases some of you)
