It's awesome to see so many returning users using the Vizzed Market after I sent out the emails to users who had enough
Viz to afford games in the Market. I first wanted to welcome you all back and briefly go over some of the big things that have taken place on the site over the past few years. I'm hoping you guys consider sticking around
Video Game Music Room
This is a feature that launched nearly 6 months ago and has been
updated a ton ever since. It offers nearly 100,000 video game songs among 5,368 games and 28 systems and constantly has new music added to it all the time. You can browse for music based on system, artist, rating and so much more and you can even view playlists created by others or even create your own.
Video Game Room
This has been in slow development over the course of many years. The ultimate goal of the Video Game Room is to provide graphics and content for every game ever made. It also has a few sub pages including a
Video Game Characters page and a fancy all graphic
Video Game Navigator.
Retro Game Room
This is what brought most of you here so you're all likely familiar with it. However, there's been a lot that has been added to this over the years. There's been 1000s of new games added, lots of new features and lots of new game systems which include Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, PlayStation (currently only available to users with the
PlayStation item) and lots of others.
New Vizzed Code and Look
Over the past year I've been working on recreating the site code from the ground up in order to make the site faster, easier to use, search engine friendly, more secure, offers more customization, optimized code means it's easier/quicker for me to develop new features, mobile friendly and so much more. There's still a lot of pages that need to be migrated to the new site code but for the pages that have been, they function a lot better and have a lot more features.
Netplay
This allows you to play with other users online in almost any game for the following systems: Nintendo NES, Super Nintendo, N64 (buggy), MAME (requires port configuration), Sega Genesis, Sega Master System, TurboGrafx, SuperGrafx, TurboGrafx CD, PC-FX and the Sony PlayStation (and it works great). To create a session, you simply go to a game's page, scroll half way down to the netplay section and click the 'Click here to Start a New Netplay Session with Mednafen' link. To join a session, go to the
Netplay Lobby.
Vizzed Market
The New Vizzed Market just launched a few weeks ago and not only does it completely
replace the old item shop, it adds an entire marketplace to Vizzed. It's still in the early stages of development but it already has had 100s of transactions. The goal with this is to allow users to buy, sell and trade just about anything including digital items, vizzed items and even real items. You can read more about it here:

Feel free to sell your unused codes in the Market. I usually add 30+ games and 200+ codes each day and I still have 1000s of codes for 100s of games to add so be sure to check out the Digital section of the Vizzed Market daily. If you need help earning some more Viz, you can find lots of ways in this thread:

There's a lot of things that I missed but I wanted to keep this somewhat brief in order to not bore anyone away lol. I've also got loads of awesome new features coming soon and I've got big plans for big features before the year ends (including a Battle Arena).
If anyone has any questions or feedback, let me know in this thread.
