DragonShadow Industries releases Yaroze Classics for NUON

Collectors want a complete package. If not, nobody would produce them. Hell people pay hundreds for out-of-print homebrew Vectrex games even when they're freely downloadable.

There will always be a few people willing to pay extra for the complete package. I think that's cool and I am all for it. But I am just being greedy because I want to play some of these homebrews for free!

I have a NUON DVD player too. It's a nice no frills DVD player that never skips on me and plays T3k. Paid $80 for it new a few years ago. Love it.

Dont worry, they were the biggest piles of horse shit on planet earth. The fact that Yoshi owns one renders all his 360 trash talk meaningless.

Eh, what? They were pretty nice DVD players at the time, which was my reason for getting one. I didn't expect them to be a long-standing gaming platform. I'd question anyone who uses a PS2 as their DVD player a lot more than me for using the NUON.

The systems were back with the DVD players, usually with a few games around, other games were in with the DVD movies and the Logitech controllers were over with the PC stuff. It was really messed up.

Well, if stuff was that spread out, I definitely would have seen SOMETHING about it.

What does Buckaroo Banzai have to do with this?

As mentioned before, it had some NUON features on the DVD.

trust me, I had no desire to own one... just was saying I hadn't really heard of them. Seemed to me almost like Best Buy trying to have their own Divx.

Hey, you're from Holyoke? I went to Amherst, not too far from there.

I never went to Holyoke. We used to send student teachers over there, and they always bitched about how ghetto it was.

I'm actually from northern CT (right on the MA border), but the Holyoke Mall was the closest big mall (the one in the town over from me, Enfield, is really small. One floor except for the department stores, and no food court). That was the closest Best Buy up until one just opened in Enfield about 2 months ago. I've never been to any other part of Holyoke other than the mall hehe. Actually, that's not true, I went to a show at Holyoke Communicty College to see Thursday with Saves the Day in '02.

You still aren't grasping this. NUON is not a separate format. There are just enhancements to some DVDs that can only be accessed with players that had NUON support. Mine is a Samsung. We're not talking backwoods manufacturers or Best Buy brands here.

[TobalRox]

I understand completely. Divx was just an "enhancement" only some DVD players could read. The DVD players still played regular DVDs too. It's like how only a DVD ROM can access some features too. I get it. Just saying it was not easy to find around here.

[Yoshi]

Divx was a competing format that eventually was relagated to basically a rental alternative, which also failed.

[Omega Supreme]

Man, I wish I had a working Nuon DVD player still. My Samsung unit gave up the ghost a couple of years ago. It's funny, pining over a system that I really don't want to play. I just want to use the VLM again.

In fairness, emulating Vectrex really isn't the same.

Also which homebrews pull in that kind of change?
