1. Retired this old clunky updates page in favor of Drupal's default front page.  Updates will now be automatically generated based on whatever pages I create or update.

October 27, 2009

1. Updated the Altered Beast, Altered Beast PC-Engine, and Altered Beast PC-Engine CD-ROM pages with links to the former 16-bit Comparison page.

October 27, 2009

1.  Finished "moving" the media from the former Daytona Model 2 comparison to the Daytona USA and Daytona Netlink Edition pages under the Game Library and Notable Games section.

2. Opened a book for Sega Rally that contains the video from the former Model 2 comparison as the second page.  Screenshots will be added to the front page later.

3. Updated the Quartet page with the screenshots and video files from the former 16-bit Comparison page.

October 26, 2009

1. Finished adding galleries for the games I have previously saved screenshots of in the 32X game library. You'll have to type 32x in the system field and hit enter to see just the 32X game library. I'll have to work on that option at some point, but I thought I'd fish for feedback on how the games show a single screenshot below them, and if you click on the game title you can see the rest of the screenshots.

2. Also attempted to make my life easier with the transition by not redoing the old mouse over comparisons. The lightbox pop up for pictures will allow you to flip forward and backward in the gallery, and any comparison pictures will be aptly named and the user will be able to flip forward and backward to see the difference.

Examples:
Shinobi III
Space Harrier II
Street Fighter II Special Champion Edition
Super Street Fighter II
Ranger X

Updated the DC-vs-PS2 page with the final arguments based on evidence that top tier Current Gen games were running at or below the detail level (Polygons per second, texture color & resolution) of top tier 1st and 2nd year Dreamcast titles. Added comparison pages for MDK2, Ecco the Dolphin, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica to the comparisons section of this page.

2. Uploaded an intro movie and MP3s of the PC-Engine version to the PCEngine and Sega Genesis After Burner comparison under 16-bit Arcade Ports.

I also purchased a NAKI VGA box for Dreamcast from gmsnpr ($15).

January 18, 2006

1. I've just completed what may be the final major addition to Gamepilgrimage, the notable game lists for the NES, SMS and TG16, and a comparison page for them.

2. Completed a level by level comparison page for the original Shinobi, which compares the Arcade, PC-Engine, Sega Master System and NES versions of Shinobi in graphics, sound and gameplay.

3. Added gameplay impressions for Blood Will Tell, Outrun 2, Spikeout, and ToeJam& Earl III to the Game Info section.

4. Added Virtua Cop 2 and Bug (Complete) to the Saturn section of My Library, and also bought a Sony brand PS1 control pad and a Saturn/PS1 3rd party light gun for a total of $22.52. Added Castlevania Double Pack (New) to the GBA section, and bought another dual screen protector for my DS ($37.82). Added Samurai Shodown (Complete, $38.89) to the Sega CD section. Added Shinobi (Complete) to the PC-Engine section and snagged a DUO multi-tap at the same time ($41.80). Bought a System Card 1.0 for my DUO ($26.99). Bought a Logitech wireless controller for my Xbox, and a second AV cable for my Genesis 2/X'eye for website development ($37.78). Purchased a Nintendo DS wireless USB adapter and Gamecube component cables from Nintendo.com ($73.96). Paid for a Saturn history CD with movies of a hundred games or so, and shipping for some random game equipment ($14). Paid shipping to send my now broken DUO to multimods.com, and paid the difference for a Region Modified DUO/R with a Violet LED ($197.35). Joined an AA group for overspenders and game addicts and resolved to not purchase anything else this year unless it's a 1:1 trade.

December 28, 2005

1. Added Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse ($16.63, Cart only) to the NES section and Rambo First Blood Part II ($5, Complete) to the SMS section of My Library.

December 14, 2005

1. Added Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (Cart only, $5.36) to the NES section, Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder (Complete, $10.77) and Blood Will Tell (Complete, $14.02) to the PS2 of Console history.

2. I finally bit the bullet. Since Phantasy Star Collection isn't coming out in the States, I realized that the PS2 was not going to end up being a benefit to me. When I realized I could trade it and my PS1 and PS2 games for a Nintendo DS and a game, I took the plunge.

Traded my PS2 with one controller and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, Bushido Blade, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (No back insert), Dead or Alive, Final Fantasy Chronicles, Grandia, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2 (Cracked case), Ridge Racer IV (Cracked case), Strider 1+2, Tenchu, and Tomb Raider for PS1, and Blood Will Tell (Just bought, I know), Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 2, Sega Classics Collection, Shinobi, Silpheed, TMNT 2: Battlenexus (Top scratched), Virtua Fighter 4, and Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution for PS2 for a Blue Nintendo DS with a carrying case and two protector screens, along with Sonic Rush (New).

November 21, 2005

1. Added a significant update to the Console History page which details the results of the lawsuit against Sony for the high rate of defective PS2s which cause the Disc Read Error problem. Sony has settled out of court with this issue while fully denying that any Disc Read Error problem actually exists. Victims of defective PS2s need to go to http://www.ps2settlement.com/ to figure out how to get some of their money back from Sony.

2. To be fair, and to fend off the drooling, slack jawed Sony fans who think Disc Read Errors in PS2s are a non-issue, the Xbox section of Console history has also been updated with information about defective Thompson drives.

November 17, 2005

1. I've completed a virtual redesign of the console history page on Game Pilgrimage ( www.gamepilgrimage.com/consolehistory.htm ). All of the console spec sheets have had significant amounts of data added to them (for you nitpickers out there) and the redesigned formatting *should* make the specs more easily read and understood than they were with less than half the info listed before.

Significant additions to each section are as follows:

All sections now have sound information and all RAM (some specs missing cache info for individual processors).

All sections now have storage capacity for software mediums used, and the average size of carts.

The Saturn and PS1 sections have nearly double the information, including the full span of resolutions supported (which apparently were *all* used in actual software), processor marketing performance information and other more system specific info.

The Dreamcast and PS2 section were updated in a similar fashion to the Saturn and PS1 sections, and a quote was added which deals with (hopefully conclusively) the graphical performance strengths and weaknesses of each platform.

2. Added Final Zone 2 (Complete, $8) to the DUO section, Streets of Rage 3 (Complete, $10), Dick Tracy (Boxed) and Samurai Showdown (Boxed) ($6) to the Genesis section, Contra 3: Alien Wars (Cart & Manual, $10.77) to the SNES section, Fighter's Megamix (Complete import, $3) to the Saturn section, Gunstar Superheroes (New, $27.60) to the Gamecube GBA section, and Looney Toons Space Race (Complete, $24.87) to the Dreamcast section of My Library. Plus, I spent $43 more dollars in shipping for my DUO than I intended, shipping it back to Japan for a replacement.

November 6, 2005

1. Massively updated the Console History page under Fact MIJIN with game system logos to replace the old text links, and an all new N64 section detailing quality ratios and final sales figures of the PS1 vs N64.

October 24, 2005

1. Added Space Harrier (SMS, box only $3.19), R-Type (SMS, Euro complete), and King's Quest (SMS, cart only) ($11) to the SMS section, Capcom Classic's Collection, Midway Arcade Treasures 3, and Worms 4 Mayhem ($6.28) (all NEW) to the Xbox section, and picked up a better black Gamecube( $7 after the trade value of my old Gamecube).

October 1, 2005

1. Updated the EA (anti)Games page with a Usenet post I had made August of 2004, which goes through the last five years of EA and 2K Sports football title's reviews, demonstrating how far EA was lagging in gameplay when they bought out the NFL license.

2. Added Manx TT Superbike (Saturn import, complete $14.82) and added A.M.O.K. (complete), Solar Eclipse (complete), Galaxy Fight (complete), Panzer Dragoon (complete, free), Daytona USA (complete, free), to the Saturn section and Quake III (New) to the Dreamcast section of My Library.

3. Added R-Type 1 (DUO import, Complete, $25.83), Space Harrier (DUO import, $18.83), Altered Beast CD (DUO import, 22.83), and After Burner (DUO Import, 22.83), and added a PC-Engine DUO (Dark gray, with controller, A/V and AC Adapter, $160.83) section for these games to be added to on the My Library page.

September 25, 2005

1. Massively updated Game Pilgrimage with a reorganization of screenshot pages to the new Game Pictures section, a new page dedicated to TurboGrafx-16 and Turbo DUO screenshots, and respective facts for this console in the Console History page under Fact MIJIN.

September 22, 2005

1. Bought an Interact Starfire lightgun, a Dreamcast Keyboard and House of the Dead 2 (Complete, $28.80) and added the game to the Dreamcast section of My Library.

2. Added Ninja Gaiden Black (New, $27.60) to the Xbox section of My Library.

September 19, 2005
1. Added Afterburner (NES, Cart only, $4.28), Rambo III (Genesis, Complete, $7.52), and Eternal Darkness (Complete, $16.18) to their respective sections of My Library.

September 6, 2005
1. Traded Castlevania Chronicles for The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition (GC, Near mint), and Wild Metal (DC, Complete).

2. Got Amok (Saturn, New) for free by purchasing a lot of DC and Saturn games and trading them into my local gamestore (Leaving $64 in credit, having only spent $61 including Amok). That way they've got a better selection of 3D Sega console stuff, and I've got a new game, and store credit for what I want this fall.

August 23, 2005
1. Added Legacy of Kain: Defiance ($19.43 mint) to the Xbox section, Sonic Gems Collection ($32.42, New) to the Gamecube section, TMNT 2: Battlenexus (free, complete) to the PS2 section, and Capcom vs SNK (free, CD only) to the Dreamcast section of My Library.

1. Added Ms. Pac Man, Super Hang On, TMNT Hyperstone Heist (Genesis), Demon's Crest (SNES, cart only), and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2 complete) to the Library section after discovering they had not yet been added. I also updated the console specific game tally and total library count for My Library.

August 6, 2005
1. Added Batman Returns (SNES, Cart only, Free) to the SNES section of My Library.

August 1, 2005
1. I traded Lego Star Wars back for $31.34 in store credit, which I have so far used to purchase TMNT (NES, $5.36), and an S-Video Cable for the SNES ($8.60). 2. I updated my want list and Library page to reflect all recent changes.

May 28, 2005

1. I've redesigned the page's content area to match the grey side bar and header. Hopefully the grey background and text will be an easier read than the former opposite.

2. The ultimate Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) tribute and comparison page is up! Under Comparisons and Genesis-vs-SNES I've placed a detailed comparison of Hyperstone Heist and Turtles in Time, with pictures, movie files and both game's soundtracks in MP3 format, followed with detailed observations on each.

3. I traded my N64, Conker (complete), Mario Kart 64, Zelda OT and Zelda MM (cart only), two controllers, cables, extension cables and whatnot for a very clean and still almost grey NES, Dragon Warrior (with manual) and Section Z. All in all, I'm fairly happy with the swap, as I never have played my N64 extensively, and received it in the first place as a trade.

4. I also purchased TMNT Hyperstone Heist (Gen, box and cart), Demon's Crest (SNES, cart only), and Castlevania: Lament of Innocence (PS2 complete) for a grand total of $32.92 after I traded in my useless Xbox Live Headset.

May 8, 2005

1. Traded in Haunting Starring Poulterguy, Battletoads and Double Dragon, Batman, Red Zone, The Adventures of Batman & Robin, Sim City, Hard Drivin', LHX Attack CHopper, and Ranger X all cart only along with two 6 button Genesis control pads and a mono Genesis 2 A/V cable for a 'Sonic Blue' Game Gear, and paid $17.16 for Ninja Gaiden and The GG Shinobi (awesome).

1. Updated EA(anti)Games with the final results of their actions with the NFL license.

2. Updated Gaming Wonders under Comparisons with the actual thesis and conclusion the article was always lacking.

1. Massively updated the Genesis vs SNES section of Console History, under Fact MIJIN.

2 . Traded Sega GT ($8 cost), Demolition Racer: No Exit ($6), Star Wars: Jedi Powers Battles($15), Iron Aces (Gift), and Star X (Free for earlier trade) for a PS2.

Added Altered Beast, Alien Syndrome (SMS, complete) and a new SNES console with no cables ($25 total) to My Library under Game Info.

January 20, 2005

1. Added Skies of Arcadia Legends (complete, free exchange for PS2 controller) to the Gamecube section, and Metroid Zero Mission, and Star X (both complete, free, exchange for Mech Warrior, Bloody Roar 2, and Tenchu 2) to the Gameboy Advance section of My Library.

2. Added a Gameboy Advance to my Library (GBA player for NGC $50.47).

January 7, 2005

1. Updated the Console History and Saturn vs PS1 page under Fact MIJIN and Comparisons respectively. I moved the list of theories as to why the Saturn failed and why the PS1 took over the Industry to the Comparison page to shorten the Saturn vs PS1 section of console history, since none of the other sections go that in depth on the Console History page either.

2. Now, for the real test. I traded my PS2, and one PS2 control pad for a Gamecube, two controllers and extension cables, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II Rogue Leader, and Metroid Prime. I kept VF4 and VF4 evo, along with Shinobi, Silpheed and Soul Reaver 2. In addition to this I purchased a memory card, S-video cables, and Luigi's Mansion for an additional $42.79.

I was initially hesitant to do this, even though it was an excellent trade value. What made this totally worth it was the reaction of the store manager and clerk that I traded it at (we're familiar). "I can't believe you're actually going to trade your PS2. What are you going to play on the Gamecube?!" I listed off 15 or so games, including the games above, Eternal Darkness, F-Zero, and GBA games when I get the Player and asked them what's coming out on the PS2 this year that's better. "Uh GT4, Kingdom Hearts 2, and....(long pause to think) ".

Presuming that they were going to list off more Japanese RPGs and maybe the occasional M rated game I interrupted with that I just wanted to play some games that you can pick up, enjoy for 20 minutes, and be done, games where the gameplay between the save points was worth it, and that I didn't want to read a book for a game. Now, I know that the PS2 has these games too, but I've already played them all, and I can pick one up again for $50 just a little while down the road, and the basic argument was that I should have kept my PS2, which has seen its day for the time being, and never own a Gamecube. After the above deliberation, they began recommending games like Mario Tennis and Mario Party 6 for the Gamecube, indicating that they understood what I was wanting that I simply couldn't get on the PS2. That alone made it worth all it.

January 4, 2005

1. Added a Virtua Racing Comparison page for the Genesis, 32X, and Saturn versions of Virtua Racing under the Comparisons Section.

2. Added Screenshots pages with .avi files of Quake and The Need for Speed for Sega Saturn under Game Info Saturn Pics.

3. Added Halo 2 ($47) to the Xbox Section of My Library, and traded Rygar, Transformers and Gun Griffon Blaze for Last Bronx and Die Hard Arcade (Saturn), and Iron Aces (Gift, DC).

November 2, 2004

1. Found out the color counts of most of the games compared in the Genesis-vs-SNES section of Comparisons using the awesome Gif Movie Gear. I then added the average color counts to the main page along with links to the screenshots of said games to compare them aesthetically. I also updated both the Genesis-vs-SNES pages and the Console history page to reflect the new data.

October 6 2004

June 01 2004

1. Oh yeah, while rooting around in some mall in Houston the local EB gamestore guy informed me that the Gamestop on Fry rd received all of the Genesis and SNES carts from every Gamestop in town about six weeks ago. Well Fry rd was just around the corner, so I went, and discovered a glut of carts like I'd never seen before, already discounted *and* 30% off the label price as well. This marks the first time I've ever bought everything in a game store that I wanted:

All Cart only and good-great condition, total $49.25

Genesis:
Power Monger

- Strategy RPG I've heard a lot of talk about.



LHX Attack Chopper

- 2 FPS fully Polygonal flight game from '93

The Immortal

- Thanks Bel for reminding me of this awesome game I once owned.

Marble Madness - torn label over the copywrite info.

- Friggin awesome.

Batman & Robin

- This, the original Genesis Batman, and the driving scenes in Batman Returns CD make up all of the best Batman gameplay on a console, with the possible exception of NES Batman (which Sunsoft pics on the back of the original Gen Batman box, for some odd reason).

Rolling Thunder 3

- Oh yeah, not as good as 2, but still has awesome gameplay and music.

Captain America and the Avengers

- I could have sworn the voice samples were more lispy than this, this is a GREAT conversion!

The Punisher

- Wow, man, I must have been haggard back in the day, because this is another great conversion of an already fun arcade game, I can't believe how clear the voice samples are.

SNES:
Run Saber

- Seems more like a sequel in spirit to the NES Strider, but contains much of the Genesis Strider's climbing, jumping and sliding gameplay, without the momentum physics or quality of level design. Pretty good.

Act Raiser II

- Much tougher than the original, but dang is it purty.

Super Bonk

- I don't recall ever knowing that Bonk was on the SNES, this is definitely a quirky title.

Magic Sword - label dog eared at top left and right, back sticker torn

- Kinda makes me think of a blend Black Belt and Rastan on the SMS. Fairly entertaining, though way too much of a button masher for me to think it worth the original full retail. I remember tons of hype and praise for this game too, I'm not sure why. The music is sorely forgettable, and the game slows down in ever single scene when four or more enemies get on screen. It's not a terrible, gameplay killing slowdown, but I'd think that in order for a game to be praised as a near perfect port that'd have to be cleaned up some.

May 01 2004

1. Added Actraiser Levels 1+2 and updated the Genesis and SNES samples of Street Fighter 2 and Super Street Fighter 2 with better quality samples on the 16-bit music and sounds page under Comparisons->Genesis-vs-SNES

2. Spent $24.14 on a Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 console, since I butchered my original Genesis console trying, in vain, to fix my new X'Eye. :(

March 13 2004

1. Added Grand Theft Auto III, Max Payne 2, and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (all rental boxes with the original inserts and manuals, $50.83) to the Xbox section of my library.

2. Bought a JVC X'Eye off E-bay for $90 shipped. With this I will update my Genesis music and sounds section, hopefully without the distortion the Genesis 1's High headphone out created. ($45 refund for defective second controller port)

March 5 2004

1. Added Test Drive V Rally and 4 Wheel Thunder to the Dreamcast game list ($37) thanks to getting hoodwinked by Goodfellas out of San Antonio and being forced to refund as store credit.
