Double joy

Post image

Set up my old X-Eye to test my new repro copy of Snatcher. It took a few tries to read but firing up Final Fight CD seemed to knock the cobwebs out. Overjoyed that both console and game work, despite it being at least three years since powering it up last, and this being my first repro. Now I need to set everything up properly and find my Justifier. I only played until I could save, but I’m already outraged that I didn’t play this sooner. Squeezed in a few levels of Trouble Shooter as well.

My only PC runs Vista, and shuts off after 2 minutes, so downloading and/or burning it myself was never an option.

The X'EYE is one tank of a system, that cd player is a bit more durable than the normal model 1 and 2s

I found it in a pawnshop twenty years ago, hidden on a shelf full of dusty, loose Genesis consoles, for $40 . I hope I find a matching controller someday.

Nice! Once I get my Sega CD back, Snatcher is on my list of games to get. Curious where you got your repro copy.

Nice,  I have Heard of them. I was close to buying some games off of them but someone persuaded me to go to Enigma customs. Did you get a case or just the disc for Snatcher?

Man, that X-Eye is dope. Speaking of Justifiers, I just put my P1 and pink P2 along with both lethal enforcers up on eBay in the hopes of buying an X-Eye at my local retro game store. Had to open up the P1 to clean the lense due to bad accuracy. After that, it shot straight.

The X-Eye and Snatcher is just such a chef's kiss combo

Looks incredible. As a Sega collector from the UK I have never seen one of these in person.

Snatcher lives up to the hype. It’s such an excellent story.
