I really wanted to be part of this one, I just had no time.

I kind of wanted to play this one too. If I could have just went to a near by store and picked it up for $5, I might have done it.

By the way, I hate the hand holding in video games now a days. But I'm sure everyone knows that already.

Haha, not going to the store and downloading it on Wii for three extra dollars was too much?

My Wii probably won't be hooked up until maybe I get Zelda. I also don't really like buying virtual console games. It feels like playing an emulator to me. I want the actual game. If I were to play an emulation, I would just do it on my computer for free.

Virtual Console games are better than emulated versions FYI.

How so?

Because the NES, Gen and SNES games on there are the most true to their original counterparts.

Yeah, the emulations aren't perfect. That's why I'd prefer to have the actual game.

Agreed, I'd always rather have the real thing, but in certain cases its just easy to get the download version.

I downloaded Mario world and ZSNES to see if it would really take up 70% of my CPU Usage like in that graphic. 10%, what kind of old dumpy computer was he writing that piece with.

It's BSNES that took up a lot of processing power I thought.

BTW Shatterhand won. Figure out a way to play it, it's not available for digital download on any service.

Yeah a couple google searches and I had it up and running pretty painlessly.

I guess its a rarer game? They're going for like 17 bucks on ebay.

Yeah, I think because it was a late NES release. I think I bought my copy at Wizard World or that VG Expo, one of those things, and I paid like 6 or 8 bucks. I suppose it could have raised in value since then though.

I paid like $12 after shipping for mine. Got it from amazon.

So what is going on with the next Game Club? I haven't touched Shatterhand since I bought it because I'm not sure where I should be writing about it. Is there going to be an article on Elder Geek, because I don't see anything over there.
