This site has been around for at least 6-7 years.

Yes..

The classicgaming site is kind of old, the only really interesting link one would find on it would be the emulation one.

I love the little disclaimer they have regarding the "24 hour rule" about downloading roms. It's about as good as the whole Bill Clinton Privacy Act of 1995 I see on every other irc channel.

I wish stuff like that actually worked - I'd warn all the cops that walking up to my window automatically disqualifies me from any speeding tickets.

IIRC Castlevania Bloodlines (Genesis) was set in the early 20th Century (World War I era). There was a level where you went through a German factory and had to defeat skeletons that were wearing army helmets. There was also a level that was cut out of the final version that featured a German dirigible in the background.

The incompetent mods strike again. This should have been +5 insightful or a combination of insightful/funny by now because he's absolutely right. A fan site that has been around for years gets picked as a topic of the day? If this was the criteria for a submission, we'd have tens of thousands of fan sites getting /. headlines every month.

That's not to say that the mentioned web site is not of particular value; but considering that this is a site that touts "News for Nerds", that also assumes that nerds know how to use search engines for fan sites that have been around for a long time. And this is not news particularly when you consider that the first three letters of "news" is "new", which this web site is not.

Karma be damned in this particular instance. I've learned that many times negative moderation means that the poster is right but the mods just don't like the fact that the poster was right.
