I was talking to another mod here and they suggested posting a topic here to see if I can get the Xband multiplayer modem for Genesis and SNES added to the accessories. I still have both models and tons of information on them and the service that I would love to post on giantbomb. Not many gamers know you could play regular retail games over the internet on your genesis or snes and I think it would be a very interesting addition to the site.

Who wants to play some NBA Live 98 right now? Yeah I got that on the SNES.

Sadly the service that the modem used is dead lol although im sure someone could do a rom dump, modify the code to make it use a private server then reflash the chip so the old hardware would work again...but using a emulator on pc would probably be easier.

It just blew my young mind to come home from school and play NBA Jam against someone 2000 miles away and also be able to talk to them. It was such a cool piece of hardware.

That's really ahead of its time....I say it should definitely be included.
