Given that there is a PC version still available for sale through digital delivery services, to play the console versions you need to get an emulator for the Super Nintendo, Genesis, or Mega CD (you can find everything on Emulator zone, emulators are legal). Acquiring the game ROMs isn’t too difficult with Google.

squalid attempt to patch up the hundreds of millions of dollars in debts left by Jackson

Consider that at that time the key genres were influenced by the limitations of hardware. Today, technology allows developers to create practically anything that comes to mind, yet the entire market revolves around 4-5 genres... why? First of all, development costs have literally skyrocketed; creating a triple-A title today requires investments of around 20-30 million dollars, and the consequence is that publishers demand a safer approach given the investment. Fallout 3 is a drop in the ocean, and personally, I don't think that peripherals are the main barrier to new gameplay, take stuff like We Love Katamari or World of Goo, despite the puzzle-oriented concept, they present original gameplay that fits perfectly with current peripherals... on PC, mouse and keyboard have dominated for 25 years :) Mirror's Edge, with its parkour simulation, is one of the few original ideas of 2009, certainly imperfect, but a tangible proof that there is room to develop new ideas.

Ah, these TV shows about how hard life is for beautiful, rich, and white young people in the USA... as long as there are teenagers, this stuff will have an audience.

I didn't say there's nothing fun to be had these days; I said there are few ideas (that are being repackaged in every imaginable way), and very little willingness to take risks. It's no coincidence that the market is saturated with fps, rts, and mmorpg. This doesn't mean that quality titles aren't being released even today, far from it. Anyone who wants to relive Jimmy, the Gens, and the Snes9x perfectly emulates the first and second chapters for the 16-bit S&N.

I remember it, taken from the animated series of the same name, a fun racing game with an isometric view. I remember Spot well, and also Loaded, though I never loved the latter too much despite the splatter (which of course as a kid added points of interest to the game :D )

Do you want to review every single season? Have you gone crazy?

Beautiful Dreamer left me a bit stunned; Oshii basically takes the characters he has at his disposal and lets his ideas run wild. Impressive, but I understand why it was not well-received by fans at the time: while the first film was a tribute to the manga and the anime, the second is a film that is exactly the opposite.

not seen yet, I’m waiting to get to the end of the anime first :P

nice movie
