VHS tapes should be recycled, not destroyed.

Next gaming challenge... Thunder Force II for Sega Genesis.
I'm getting there.... that's all I'll say.

Well... I'm glad that I have the Genesis game "Truxton" in my possession. Truxton is a vertical space shooter, and a difficult one at that. When I found my copy around 10 years ago, it was around $5 IIRC. Might have been $10, but it was out on the shelf with the other common games. The more valued titles were in a glass case. Nevertheless, I got my copy for a extremely good low price.
These days? It goes for around $40 USD on eBay for cartridge alone. The price is far higher if you want complete-in-box or an import copy.

On another note, I have to perform screencapping with Lilly. VLC 2.2.0 has now bugged the snapshot capability. DVD screencaps come out at 720 x 480. That is the native DVD resolution, but VLC before 2.2.0 corrected the aspect ratio resulting in 720 x 540 screencaps, which was very nice. And I don't think there is a way to downgrade to a previous VLC version under Kubuntu outside of compiling one yourself.
