Okay, the original Gravis Gamepad was amazing. But while the Gravis Xterminator was pretty cool, it broke (power problems, it just stopped being recognized) after just a year or so after I got it in around 2000.
Anyway, now my Saitek p880 has had the same thing happen to it. Just in the past week or two, it failed... and now it just won't respond most of the time. :( :( It is several years old though, so it did pretty well...
This got me to want to see if the xterminator still worked at all. It doesn't even recognize. Anyway, this got me to want to try to open up my Gravis pad to see inside. Unfortunately, even with all the screws off, it won't open. Obviously sometime inside is glued togehter or something...
So the question is: Do my best to break it apart, and quite likely permanantly destroy it (when it comes apart I bet it will physically break...), or just leave it in its current non-working state, but don't take the thing apart?
They want us to send in emails asking for games to appear on the virtual console.
Of course Earthbound and Super Mario RPG are on that list, right from the start. Also, I'd include games that have full official translations but weren't released over here. Wikipedia has provided a massive resource on such games, like Mother 1 (Earthbound "Zero"), Terranigma (a sort of sequel to Illusion of Gaia, which was awesome), and some others.
Kirby Super Star as well.
Basically every game OB1 missed out on, and then the ones that the US missed out on.
Sure they only want 5, but we don't all have to vote for the same 5.
GBA game (shmup), completed in 2004 but never released by the publisher, just recently put up for download as a freeware rom. It's worth a look, anyway.
