  1. I agree about the visual presentation, and the reviews themselves are fine, but that whole "Predicted Interest Graph" rating system just makes no sense to me. Plus the magazine had no humor anymore, something Game Players was all about.
  2. Thanks for sharing. I was a huge Game Players fan, and it's no surprise Game Buyer lasted only four issues -- it was horrible. Marktrade scanned a ton of my Game Players and Ultra Game Players a few months ago, hopefully they'll be on Retromags soon!
  3. Good Nintentions has a lot of full-page images, and they actually look great, so I don't think it'll be a problem. https://www.amazon.com/Good-Nintentions-Unofficial-Entertainment-GameSpite/dp/1512109746/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1473154227&sr=1-1&keywords=good+nintentions
  4. I highly recommend Game Players / Ultra Game Players, Next Generation, and Video Games & Computer Entertainment.
  5. What RetroDefense said is spot on. The disadvantages vary, such as certain Everdrives requiring you to reset the system in order to save games, game incompatibilities, and certain games requiring patches to run. Again, I'm not complaining here, and I highly recommend them, but I want you to know they're not "100% perfect." It's the launch Japanese Saturns that I mentioned, I don't know about any other models, sorry. Here's some more information: http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/saturn-20-pin-cd-drive.55417/ http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/official-rhea-discussion.57377/
  6. My recommendation is to buy a launch model Japanese Saturn with a broken disc drive, and then get a Rhea. (The Saturn model will be HST-3200; see below). The Rheas seem to go on sale more often than Phoebes. You'll be ditching the disc drive anyway, so save yourself some money and get the model I specified with a broken disc drive on eBay or Amazon. That's what I did, because I didn't own a Saturn at the time and it seemed like the most efficient way to get it done. Of course, if you have a Saturn already and definitely want to keep it instead of selling it and getting a different one, you'll need to open it up to find out whether you need a Rhea or Phoebe. The manufacturer's page has the details. My main reason for going this route was because it seemed (and still seems) like it's much easier to get a Rhea. http://www.segaretro.org/Sega_Saturn#HST-3200.2FHST-3210
  7. Go to the manufacturer's site and follow new posts (below). A heads-up is usually given a couple weeks (or less) before one or more of the devices will be available for pre-order. It seems like they go on sale once every few months or so. You could also sign up for notifications on eBay if anything with the words "Rhea Sega Saturn" gets listed, as people sometimes sell theirs. If I just told you stuff you already know, sorry, but it seems to just be a matter of closely following new posts on the site. Good luck. https://gdemu.wordpress.com
  8. I have seven Everdrives, and though most of them have some disadvantages/flaws, they're great and I highly recommend them. I also have a flash cartridge for my 2600, a Rhea for my Sega Saturn, and a PSIO for my Playstation. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions.
  9. I just found out about this, and I figured some of you might be interested: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2146199819/nintendo-entertainment-system-famicom-a-visual-com
