Phht, you damned kids and your Need for Speeds and your Gran Turismos!.. but in all seriousness, the lack of titles actually stemming from arcades is kind of sad.

I am stupidly fond of Virtua Racing, favoring the 32x version most of all. Technically the Saturn version has more stuff but the menus are awful and the added tracks have some bizarre collision problems. Crash on the left side of a divided tunnel and it'll drag you through the wall and reset you onto the right-hand lane. Also, blue mystery cubes. Do not reason why they are there.

Also, I like Hard Drivin'. The full cabinets were awesome. Sure, the controls bit any misstep resulted in the car bursting into flames, but it had three-dee cows and the stunt-track loop. Usually the car'd drop off the apex and explode but that's realism for you.

No new progress on my end- the new combinations failed like the others did. What's kind of funny is that the video shows up as a searchable item though on my video page my only working option is the delete button. It's weeeird. Link for Taito Memories II Gekan- Field Goal it yields in search. Pulls an invalid video error.

Under the supposition that this is never going to be corrected, is there a way to display videos linked from Youtube in blog entries? If not, no big, I can upload a placeholder image and just link it that way. It's a bit ridiculous, but hey, it's a solution.

I don't even get encode error messages, the blasted things just never display which is totally bizarre considering at least one I upped last month (and deleted in hopes of re-upping properly, fat chance) showed up in search. I've tried MP4, WMV and AVI but none seem to take properly despite YouTube having no qualms. It isn't an issue of filesize, either. It's just bizarre. I get no thumbnail but the description and all posts, just no video.

I'll try and dig up another couple of codec/format combinations but unless I get some assistance I'm just going to give up. It's not worth the headache to annoy people with clips from Field Goal if it's going to be so stubborn. I wish I could remember what I used for my videos that actually worked... see if the uploader chokes on them now, too...

Using Firefox 9.0.1, IE 8. Ideas apart from the aforementioned codec/format juggling or animal/human sacrifices? The later is unfeasible as the carpeting would stain too easily.

Is buying the used games through Amazon better than other places out there?jfcundiff

It's an absolute joke what they constantly pass off on people.billyd5301
