NES, Dreamcast Best Toys Of All Time

November 6th, 2009, 17:16 Posted By: wraggster

That time of year when parents have to invest in the newest hot toy for Christmas is at hand. Too bad not many of these Best Toys of All Time are still hot.

From classic scooters and teddy bears to Furbies and Cabbage Patch Kids, this Good Housekeeping list documents the hottest of hot toys that were hot in their day. And unlike People Magazine's 80s special, they've gone and given Nintendo and Sega their rightful props as hot toys.

While I can't name anybody who'd be glad to get a jar of Play-Doh this year, I can think of a lot of people who would be thrilled to see a Sega Dreamcast or an original Nintendo Entertainment System under their X-mas tree this year. Sadly, none of them are kids.

What classic entertainment system would you want under your tree this year?

DCEmu Server Update - Also Nintendomax New DCEmu Affiliate

November 1st, 2009, 00:46 Posted By: wraggster

Hi all sometime this weekend we will be moving to a much faster server with more ram 4 quad speed cpus and other stuff thats over my head so the future of the site looks a lot better, also Martin let me know that he should also be upgrading Vbulletin to the very latest stable version which should mean many new features and hopefully a lot of the bugs will go. The faster server should also mean the site loads a lot better too.

Im sure you will know if you have entered by any of the network sites that theres lots of errors on the pages, these will be fixed once the server is totally migrated.

Finally once i get a chance to add them, id like to say welcome to Nintendomax our newest affiliate, for those who dont know Nintendomax is an excellent French Homebrew and Hacking site that focuses on Nintendo Consoles, check them out here --> http://www.nintendomax.com/
