Y'all might know this breed of threads at other gaming forums as "Currently Playing/Daily Check" Threads. Post whatever you played for the day, or big accomplishments, brag about getting your new game or tell how great that underrated game you tried was.

I haven't been doing much gaming the past month because I have been a bit busy. However the other day I spent some time playing Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu for TG16 and had a fun time making it all the way to that last level.

I've been trying to organize my PCE collection for the last week or so. Popped in Vigilante and Lode Runner for a little bit.
But, the games I've been playing on and off for the last few months are: Spikeout Battle Street Virtua Fighter 4 FT (arcade) Tekken 5 Resident Evil 4 Gradius 5 Tatsujin (PCE)
I tend to lose interest in the new games quickly these days. Just can't bring myself to turn them on. I was playing MGS3 for a while and just stopped. Not because of lack of interest, but just don't feel like committing much time to it. Same with RE4.
I guess I have a short attention span. :)

I was playing Sapphire, Dragon Slayer, Cosmic Fantasy 2, Valis 3 and Valkyrie Profile but I got Ys: Oath in Felghana like a week ago and I haven't even touched another game since. Really the job Falcom did on remaking 3 is just amazing. Its music is beyond awsome, its gameplay is an enhanced verison of 6, and they tweeked the story abit to fit in with the rest of the games. The game difficulty is also back with a vengence. Its about 10 times harder than the SNES verison on normal with a Hard, Nightmare, and recently released (from the lasest patch) Inferno mode. Hard is rough enough but Nightmare and Inferno will likely make me brake my moniter in frustration. Then again I don't have a controller for my PC so I'm using a keyboard.
I need to beat Ys on Nightmare so I can go back to playing those other games. That and I need to finish Dragon Force 2. I've still got a month before college starts up though so I should have the time.
Sorry about the off topic Ys rambling, but I just couldn't help myself. :oops:

Any word on a stateside release or a translation for this? Are you playing in Japanese?
Title: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Paladin on July 17, 2005, 05:27:09 AM
Yeah I'm playing it in Japanese. So far no one I've heard has stated they are going to be fan translating it. Even if you have absolutely no knowledge of Japanese it doesn't hinder the game too much in terms of gameplay. There are already a couple FAQs out there and they get the job done.
As far as a stateside release I've heard that it might be ported to the PSP if Ark of Napishtim sells fairly well on it. Of course that is just people talking; it isn't official. I would rather see it ported to a console, but I'll take what I can get.
I should really make some screenshots, and, or movies to show off the game.

Recently been playing Kyuukyoku Tiger (Twin Cobra) on PSP. I don't even play PSP games anymore, just the PCE emulator.
Also beat Crest of Wolf (Riot Zone) for the first time over the weekend. I used the cheesy rapid punch technique to kill the final boss in like 5 seconds. :lol:

I just got Shape Shifter and Forgotten worlds this week so i've been playing a lot of those. Shape Shifter is a really underrated game. A little too hard for my liking but still pretty unique and well done. Forgotten Worlds is great too, a big improvement on the genesis version. Just beat it today on easy, now i'll have to try out normal and hard. Excellent soundtrack as well.

Just beat Bionic Commando. Still an awesome game after all these years. :)
I can always remember the first time I beat the game. I was at a friend's house and we played like all afternoon. We were determined to beat it. The coolest thing about it was during the ending sequence, there's a picture shown with a date on it. That happened to be the exact date we beat it! My friend was underwhelmed by the coincidence when I mentioned it. However, for some reason it stuck with me, because to me, it seemed like it was me and my friend in that picture and not the characters from the game.
That had to be one of the most memorable gaming moments of my life all because of that date.

Post by: Ninja Spirit on November 07, 2005, 09:14:08 AM
April 7, 1989.
Yeah I first learned to beat the game around that time too. I was like 7 years old in the first grade and Bionic Commando was my first really tough game that I mastered.
Played Gun.smoke (NES) last night. Almost got game rage on the final battle with Wingate. It's his goons distracting me to death.

Believe or not, yes! As late as 2000 (probably to this day), many places were still using dot matrix printers (i.e. older pharmacies, video rental places, etc.) so you can still buy supplies. Granted,it's a limited selection (I don't know if you can get color)... we used to work at a pharmacy and he would "borrow" office supplies...
He recently told me that I could probably still get some printer ribbon for my old DAISYWHEEL printer (attached to an old Brother word processor). Here's how cutting-edge Daisywheel technology works: Say you have a few words in a letter that you have italicized. To type in italics, the printer would pause, then you'd have to manually switch the typewriter head thingie, press a button for printing to resume and it would type out the italic words, then it would pause again, waiting for you to swap the typewriter head thingie again. Even if you didn't have fancy font effects, it would take a long time to print a page. A LONG TIME :)
-------------- Anyway, I've been playing some famicom games:
Balloon Fight (famicom) -- I never get sick of this game. it's been my "wind down and relax / relieve stress" game for many, many months now.
Joust (2600) -- ditto. nice relaxing game when you get into a groove.
that's it...

I recently bought a PC-FX plus five games off of ElSeven, so I have been enjoying that for the past few nights.
Battle Heat - Very awesome idea for a game and now I am getting the hang of the controls and enjoying it much more now. It's really incredible.
Team Innocent - Wasn't impressed at first really mainly because the controls were hard to get used to, but after getting used to them I enjoy the game much more now and it has great atmosphere. Most people won't agree with me here, but I love the graphic style myself! I think it's going to be the style I use for a game I have in mind to make for the PC-FX.
Yuna FX - I haven't played much of this game, but the previous owner of the PC-FX appearently played quite a lot of it and unlucked all of the mini games, so I played with those which were a nice addition to the game. The story mode of the game seems cool too, but I probably won't try playing through this game in awhile. Oh yeah and the omake mode was pretty nice; better than I thought!
Der Langrisser FX - Haven't played much of it, but seems to be a pretty decent strategy game in with a style mixed between Millitary Madness and Shining Force, which I both enjoy. I'll play more of this game some other time, but if I ever get Farland Story FX, I'll probably be playing that one more since it's more linear. (The PC-98 ones are great)
Last Imperial Prince - Ahh, this game is excellent! I love platform RPGs, but this one is a little different. It's not so platformer-ish when it comes to the battles; instead the battles are kind of turn-based in a way but still play like a platformer. Also the graphics are very nice with tons of color and awesome parallax. I love it, and I can seem to understand the story well even without speaking a lick of Japanese-a!

Traded in Blazing Star to a local arcade vendor for Cyber Lip,World Hereos,and Burning Fight,and some mvs boxes,and mini inserts,and a FF2 move list sticker for a cab,so I could place it on my arcade stick supergun.So basically I have been playing World Hereos today. I put in plenty of hours into part 2,but never owned 1 on NeoGeo untill today.Id have to say now more then ever the Snes port by Sunsoft was a let down.This si still a really good fighter to me even now,since 1992 it hold well amongst my other games.For 1992 I def like it more the SF 2 World Warrior for that matter.And I like some of the stages in part 1 way more then in part 2.Just really nice all around for such a old game. Whats really nice is,Ill pay like 26-27 bucks for soemthing liek Blazing Star,and around here,the local vendors love to get ahold of shooters,but are clueless as to what all was on Neo,so they will give 2-3 carts,depending on the game,along with extra stuff like inserts to other games you might need,just to get a new shooter for a 4 slot,somthing besides Metal Slug and Aero Fighters 2.Its really funny and sad at the same time.If i would have tried to buy all this stuff I got today for Blazing Star,Id have spent well into 50 bucks on ebay,but thanks to good all cheap Blazing Star as a barter item,I can save time and money hunting down older MVS carts.I didnt think I was going to get another CyberLip so easily,esp with the marquee insert. Prob order a couple more Blazings just to trade in again.

HAHAHAHA! I wouldn't be able to control my laughing if I saw that in real life, with customers checking out the screen and all. You should have tried writing something really long on the score list by writing parts of the sentence in each score rank so it would look something like:
"#1 SIR HUNG #2 IS HUNG #3 LIKE A #4 ELEPHANT #5 SO f*ck #6 OFF #7 ... #8 ... #9 ... #10 ..."

Blazeing Star is good but it's a little too easy if you ask me.
Any ways my favorites shmups on the Neo so far.
1st Pulstar 2nd Viewpoint hard but great music. 3rd Last Resort 4th Strikers 1945 Plus best WWII shooter on the Neo barnone! 5th Aero Fighters 2 6th Blazeing Star

Had several funny moments.

I picked up Kenshin Dragon Quest the other day. Played it only for about an hour so far. Pretty fun considering the controls. If you've never heard of it, it's a self-enclosed unit that connects directly to your TV like those shady NES/N64 controllers. But this uses some kind of motion detection technology. Basically you stand in front of the TV swinging the sword controller and just wreaking havoc on all the slimes and skeletons that cross your path.
Even though all you do is swing the sword to play, there's a number of things you can do. By holding the sword in front of you, you can block attacks (a transparent shield appears on the screen). It's also possible to cast magic by holding the sword close to the game unit which calls up a magic window where you can select magic.
Overall, it's seems to be a simple game, but it's just fun (and funny) trying to slash everything in sight.

Vendors (at kiosks) in the local malls here are selling baseball, boxing, and ping pong motion games. The vendors appear during holiday season, then disappear. This is the second or third year I've seen them, so they must be making money. My wife and I have have fun testing theses games (doubles ping pong is our fave, though homerun derby is therapuetic) ... the boxing game is "new" this year and seems similar to Punch Out (NES), but there was a long line of kids waiting to try it out, so we'll have to wait till next week. If it captures 50% of the fun of Punch Out, then it will be pretty nice, IMO.

Lately I've been playing:
Final Fantasy XI (PC): lots and lots of FFXI. Over two years now and I still have tons left to do in this game. Recently I've been playing beastmaster when I want to solo (just cracked 61 with bst) and bard when I want to party (56 on bard). Unfortunately, all of my RL and online friends that used to play this game with me have quit, so it's been a little lonely lately. This is still by far my all-time favorite FF game (sorry FFIV). Looking forward to FFXII mainly because it seems to be influenced by XI.
Unreal Tournament 2004 (PC): just a quick CTF session here and there when I need to blow off some steam.
Do Re Mi Fantasy (SFC): awesome platformer sequel to Milon's Secret Castle on the NES. By Hudson Soft too! :D
Tales of Symphonia (GC): still not sure whether I like this game or not. The battle system is pretty entertaining, but the story, characters, and art style are all horrible. Well, maybe horrible is too strong a word, but the story is very cliched and the character designs don't appeal to me at all. I liked Fujishima's mid-90s stuff well enough, like Oh My Goddess and Sakura Taisen, but lately his designs have been sucking IMO. And there's an odd sort of disconnect between the 2D character art, the cel-shaded in-game characters, and the 3D environments. Just doesn't mesh well.

I've been playing Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney on my DS for the last week or so. This game is soo fun! I kinda like those mystery solving games from way back when and this one just takes that and wraps it around being a defense attorney.
It's a little over the top with the sound fx but it makes things interesting when you start accusing people of lying and stuff.
I'll definitely buy more "episodes" of this game. I don't think the GBA versions were released in English, so I might have to pick up the JPN versions and see if I can handle all the dialogue. And there's a lot of dialogue to read in the game.
Very enjoyable from start to finish.

Got a crap load of games lately. Just recently my dad bought me an Intellivision with ten complete games for only $10 as a late birthday present since he knew I had been wanting one :D , kick azz! Also I was at a nice video game store recently and bought Baseball (Intellivision), Earth Defense Force (SNES), Kenseiden (SMS) Mario Paint (SNES), and Vice (NES). Oh and I also got Shape Shifter in the mail the same day I went to the store, so I gotta lot of kick ass games to play, not to mention that my little bro got a DS with some games and that's being using up some of my game time ;) .

My winter break from college has been a blast. I spent all my free time beating all the video games I bought since the beginning of 2005. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake for the MSX I had borrowed from a good friend from Japan, and the NES games I was replaying them out of nostalgia.
PCE: Kyuukyoku Tiger --this is my new favorite pce game. the gameplay is similar to Raiden, it's challenging, and looks amazing on the GT. Nexzr --great shmup. stage 6 is tricky and the final boss can be cheap. Xak III --great story and nice Eng translation by Nightwolve. the game was too short and bosses are weaklings. Bomberman 94 --my favorite in the bomberman series. Super Raiden --addictive gameplay. i'm still stuggling to past stage 8.
MSX: using a MSX2+ computer - Sony HB-F1XV Metal Gear --superior to the nes version in dialog, gameplay, graphics, everything. you actually get to face Metal Gear. my fastest time is 2 hours and 20 minutes. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake --it's like playing MGS in 8bit graphics. Vampire Killer --this one plays a little different than the original Castlevania for the nes, but I like this version better. Snatcher --this game will test your patience b/c the loading times are horrendous. only play this version if you're a Snatcher fan. King's Valley II (msx2 version) --very good puzzle game, a must play. Maze of Galious --probably the best platform/adventure game on the MSX.
NES: Ninja Gaiden --the first game I ever bought for the nes, and absolute favorite game on this console. Gun Nac --great shmup by Compile, it's suppose to be a parody of Zanac. River City Ransom --my favorite beat'em up. Bionic Commando --great game and innovative. I just wish the diffculty was set higher. Akumajou Densetsu --japanese version of CV3. better music and easier than the American version. Crisis Force --a shmup by Konami and only released in Japan. this game is fantasic with amazing graphics for a famicom game.

Games I'm playing now: Tekken 5 DR - arcade Final Fantasy IV Adv - GBA Never played entirely through the SNES ver.
Ryu ga Gotoku - PS2 It's like Shenmue but more gritty and modern. Only played a few hours so far.
Coming Soon: DQ8 - PS2. I'll probably start this one after I finish FFIV.

I've been playing Scrabble. That's it. It's the best board game ever created (even better than Risk, which I like a lot)... which reminds me: I'll have to see if I can find a copy of the GBA Scrabble game (I don't know what it's like, but I gotta try it out). I think Target had some copies reduced to $10 when I was last there.

Haha, excellent game choice for this week, Steve :D .
By the way, as far as board game video games go, I LOVE Pictonary for NES! You get to play these really fun mini games with awesome music and each time you score, it knocks off a piece of the artwork and when the time goes out, you get to guess what the picture is under a time limit, which kind of sucks without a keyboard, but it's still a really fun game!

...day eleventy-hunnert-and-thirty-twelve...STILL playing Dragon Quest VIII...89 hours so far...there's a tiny mirage on the horizon, it may be the end, but so hard to tell...must...make...it....to....end...!!
Actually, I'm still loving DQ8. There are so many ways to dick around and waste time before pushing ahead to your goals. Making new weapons, gaining levels, side quests. Definitely getting my money's worth out of that one.
I've also been playing OutRun2 on the Xbrick. Picked up Chaos Field for Gamecube the other day but still haven't popped the shrinkwrap on it...I have the Dreamcast version, and it's not the greatest of all shmups, but I do like to buy any shmup that gets a domestic release just to try to support the cause. And I got Pinball Hall of Fame: The Gottlieb Collection for five bucks at Best Buy. I suck at pinball but it's a super cool game, the presentation is great.
Today I found Sonic R for Saturn and The Ring for Dreamcast (I didn't even know that got released in the US). Recently added a whole pantsload of boxed 2600 games to the collection too -- had to rearrange the display case just to fit 'em all in there.
Finally, I'm keeping my eye on a few PCE games on ebay, but I'm trying to save my money for a trip to the Pacific Northwest this year, so I dunno if I'll buy right now. Oh what am I saying, I probably will, I'm terrible at saving money.

Stratego... I have vague memories of trying to play STRATEGO when I was a a kid. kddMonopoly really never holds my interest for long. The most fun my brothers and I had was devising ways of grabbing extra cash. This only worked when you were the banker.
TANGENT: When I was a kid I remember getting an Alien board game (based on the movie). I had not seen the movie, but the package art was really scary. It was pretty a generic game, from what I remember, and I think aliens could get you, but it was decided randomly. Hmmm, yet another thing I have to google now.

Oh hell yeah, another person here who has played Dinosaur's for Hire! I love that game! That was the only game my friend got for his Genesis 10 years or so ago and me and my bro kind of felt sorry for him, but we ended up nearly beating the game the first time we played it and I love the game to this day. Cheesy-looking games totally get overlooked, it really is a fun game.

Dinosaurs for Hire is the game where it locks up for a second and then the dinosaur says something about your "blast processing unit" screwing up? I remember playing that once years ago and thought that was f*cking hilarious, plus the game seemed like a really cool Contra style shooter. I have it in my closet, I just need to dig it out, haha.

Yep that's the one! It's a fun platform shooter or run n' gunner except it's cheesy dinosaur theme, poor graphics and sound might really turn people off but the game is pretty awesome to play and has some big ass bosses in it and a awesome level where you go up on this outside elevator that goes all the way to the top of the Empire State Building where you fight some boss. Only super retards like me can enjoy dinosaur themed games.

Xak III --great story and nice Eng translation by Nightwolve. the game was too short and bosses are weaklings.
Ah, so you really thought it was nice aside from difficulty and game length? I would've loved it if I had Deuce to spruce up and de-Engrish the translation some more at the time. It really could use it I'd say, looking back on it. My translators from back then weren't as good as he is at naturalizing/localizing the translated strings. But, going back to it yet again after so long is as unlikely as me getting Deuce interested in it. I wish it could've worked out differently though, it deserves better, but oh well. I couldn't get proofreading help from the pce/tg16 community even.

Has anyone heard of these websites before.
Tool Assisted Console Game Movies (http://bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/)
These are perhaps two of the most interesting I've seen because they post movies of player's fastest time to beat a game. There is one major difference between websites and thats their approach. Tool Assisted Console Game Movies uses emulators to create the movies and encourage the use of slow motion and save states to gain the fastest time. Thats why when you watch some of the movies (NES - Gradius for example) the player would seem to have god-like reflexes. The other site, Speed Demos Archive, all submitted movies are recorded from actual gaming hardware, no emulators used. So whatever you see is pure skill of the player. Thats why when you watch their movies it's grainy because players record them from VHS then convert to avi. It's too bad there are no entries of tg16 games.

I'm not sure if it's a bootleg or not. It looks like the real thing, but I admit that I'm not that familiar with FDS games/bootlegs in general. Maybe I'll dig it out of packing and post a pic. Since it was used, I only got the disk + instruction sheet.
One major difference I remember between the FC Goonies and arcade ver was that enemies did a lot more damage to you in the arcade version. It was like 3 hits and you died. FC version is like 5 or 6 hits. I was able to finish the FC ver with one guy w/o even the fear of dying.
I wish there were more games like the Goonies. I love those run-and-jump adventures. Others I like are Out of this World, Flashback, and Pitfall II. :)

And if you have save data on games you save, you're stuck with it for the rest of your life. Can't erase it and start over.

I didn't know about this when I snagged my copy. The game had been played about half way through already. Kinda sux. Since I got it cheap, I guess I can't complain.
I hope the other disk games don't have the same issue. About a year ago I got a number of disk games, but haven't tried them all out yet.

Why did your belt break?
No, I bought it with a new belt put in (a friend in Japan got it for me from a Yahoo Japan auction), but it seems there may be a timing error or something. I only have two games for it -- two copies of Metroid. One was used, the other was brand new. When I put in the used one, it wouldn't start -- it just gave me an Error 23 at the FDS title screen, which is a disk read error. Then I put in the unplayed copy, and the game started, went to the title screen, and let me create a new save file and push start to begin, but when it tried to load and start the game, it pooped out and gave me an Error 27 (which is a timing error, and it was an in-game message, it didn't go back to the FDS title screen). I hit Reset, and from then on, the FDS just kept giving me an Error 23 at the FDS screen on that copy too, and wouldn't even start the game.
If I could find ANYBODY that could fix it, or any clear information (in English!!) on how to do it myself, I'd be eternally grateful.

And if you have save data on games you save, you're stuck with it for the rest of your life. Can't erase it and start over.
So i've herd i gota be careful when looking for a used copy of, DokiDokiPanic.
I didn't know about this when I snagged my copy. The game had been played about half way through already. Kinda sux. Since I got it cheap, I guess I can't complain.
I hope the other disk games don't have the same issue. About a year ago I got a number of disk games, but haven't tried them all out yet.
I found my Zelda on disk had saved games all ready.
Still like the.. cart version you can erase the file and start over 8)
Ah that's good to know. Doki Doki Panic is one FDS title I know of where once data is saved, that's it.

I just finished Clock Tower and replayed Ocarina of Time, the one on the bonus disc for preordering Wind Waker. I've had the bonus disk forever (I guess two year since WW came out around two years ago?) but this is the first time I've played it. A few years back I sold almost my entire N64 collection, which I kind of regret now. One of the games I sold was OoT, so I'm glad I have this disc to still play the game. Even after seven years OoT is still one of the greatest ever. I enjoyed the hell out of it all over again, finishing it over a period of about four days. The emulation is interesting, with high-res and component output on my Gamecube, the game looked much better than I remember from the N64. There were some sound hiccups though when going into the menu. I've heard there were more emulation problems with Majora's Mask on the collector's disc. I have that too, but I'm kind of burned out on Zelda so I'll play it later. Still, the emulation is good and will probably be even better on Revolution since it has more memory and a faster CPU (plus time to tweak the emulator) so I am very much looking forward to the Virtual Console service just so I can play some N64 games again. I never should have sold Starfox 64, F-Zero X, or Super Mario 64 since the sequels on Gamecube weren't nearly as good. :(
Yesterday I started playing Baten Kaitos. It's pretty good so far. The graphics are really well done, the game uses prerendered backgrounds with polygon models on top like FF7-9. The 2D art used for character portraits and such is also beautiful, it definitely has an anime look to it so you know it's Japanese, but not the bug-eyed ultra cute look which I don't particularly care for. The music is also good, but the voice acting...isn't. Normally, I'm not one to complain about English dubbing since I think a lot of Japanese dubbing is either annoying or not any better than English voices, but the dubbing in Baten Kaitos is really, really flat. Everyone sounds like they're just reading their lines, and there's also a weird hollow echo effect to the voices. I'm not sure why the developers chose that effect, but at least you can disable it by switching to surround sound. All the combat is card-based, which could be cool, but so far it doesn't seem very complex as far as deck-building strategy, which is kind of disappointing. The story is lame and cliched, but I'm only ten hours in so maybe it picks up later. I hope it doesn't turn out like Tales of Symphonia, a game I played for over thirty hours before finally deciding I couldn't stand it. :wink:
Lastly, I played Half-Life 2 a few days ago. I used to be crazy about FPS in the Doom to Quake days, but haven't been into one in a long time. The graphics are remarkable, and I was engrossed for a solid night when I first started playing, but then I just suddenly lost interest and haven't touched it since. :?

I picked up Resident Evil 4 for the Cube the other day when it dropped to 20 bucks. Not since Metroid Prime 2 have I played a game that makes me feel like I SUCK at videogames so badly. And I don't suck at videogames. But I can't get ANYWHERE in RE4. I'm sure I will with practice, but man, I suck hard at that game. Makes me feel old.

A few days ago I went back to my days of making movies of my gameplay. I hooked up my Duo-R to the VCR and taped myself beating PCE Ninja Gaiden. Then earlier today on the same tape, I put the Genesis to the VCR taped myself playing half of Shinobi 3.

I've been thinking about doing that too! I used to do that in junior high, taping game endings and stuff. Since these "superplay" videos are cool now (like the shmup players who are inhumanly good, insane fighting game combo videos, speedruns, etc), I thought it'd be fun to put together some gameplay footage again. I was thinking of taping entire games of Silent Hill or Resident Evil.
If you're an Ikaruga fan, check out this video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-163280885783523408&q=ikaruga) of one dude playing 2-player Ikaruga -- BY HIMSELF -- and whooping ASS.

You mean straight from the console to the card? What if you tape it first, then run the VCR to the card?

That's exactly what I did. It can pick up motion from new gen systems such as PS2, but when I tape off older systems, the preview box freezes but the sound still plays.

I haven't beat Neutopia yet and also haven't touched Neutopia II since I want to play them in order. Regardless, I am waiting for the ACD version of Neutopia III! :wink:
Edit: Just beat Terraforming! I thought it was a pretty good game. Kinda odd that you blast a bunch of animals/reptiles/etc at the beginning of the game. Doesn't seem very high tech. However, the last 2 or so stages you battle the evil armada with lots of ships and stuff.
I liked the funky background distortion effects that Right Stuff was able to pull off. The last stage is kinda unfair with a bunch of fast homing lasers, kamakaze ships, and really fast heat seeking missiles. It took me 3 continues to finally beat it though.

Glad to hear you are awaiting for Neutopia III :D . One correction though, Neutopia III will be a SCD game, not ACD, unless you just made a typo since A and S are right next to each other ;) . We do have plans on using the ACD for games in the future and even Super Grafx ACD games :twisted: .

To keep on topic, I recently played a game on PCE SCD called Dragon Half. It's one of those board games that I usually don't like. This one was pretty neat because it had RPG elements in it (exp, money, levelling up, etc). The goal of the game is to find the 3 fragments of some item, but I couldn't really figure out what the story was.
The game has a loooong intro. It's like watching a newscast... pretty funny. The graphics are nice and the SD chars look good (funny) in the battles. There's also lots of voice in the game.
Basically you just roam the board looking for info on where the 3 fragments are. You can play 1 to 4 people with the CPU controlling any of them. Each team has four characters. Some are some dodgy looking characters too. Anyway, the board consists of 3 types of locations: blue, yellow, and red squares.
The blue squares are "safe". People give you info or it might be a store. If you talk to a person, they usually ask you to do something. If you accept their quest, then you have to figure out how to do it. They're pretty simple. Some ask you to sell something at the store, others ask you to visit certain areas.
The yellow squares are 50/50 chance of being good or bad. It ranges from getting an item or restoring health, to become sick (attacks do less damage) or just getting damaged outright.
The red squares are battles. The battles are pretty simple. Just press the button when the your gauge is full to do the most damage. The animation varies by who's attacking and how full the gauge is. If you lose all your HP, then you lose your next turn.
I haven't gotten that far, but that's pretty much the gist of the game. There is a lot of Japanese in it as you might have guessed. For the most part it's playable without Japanese, but in order to complete the quests, you have to know what the person is asking.

I was playing Baten Kaitos for awhile, but I put it away recently. Pretty, and the card battling is decent, but the story and characters are completely lifeless. I hope I can work up enough gumption to finish it someday because I hate to leave a game unfinished (Tales of Symponia being another, but I really don't like that game).
I got Final Fantasy IV Advance with BK and started playing a week ago. FFIV is my all-time favorite FF game, so the flaws in the GBA version are hugely disappointing. I'm almost done with it and will probably finish it (FFIV is pretty short for an RPG), but I might sell it when I'm done.
Also been playing some Turbo, Genesis, and SNES games lately: Galaga '90, Revenge of Shinobi, Target Earth, Cybernator, Ninja Warriors Again, Pilotwings, and F-Zero. There are times when I really miss the 16-bit days, those were my favorite gaming memories ever. :?

Ah, that was a great game if memory serves. Wasn't it like part RPG and part shooter or something? I do remember parts where you'd go into vertical shooter mode, but it's been so long, that's all I can remember. Well, I know there was something great about this that made me list it in my top favorite category for a time in my treasured NES days.

Guradian Legend (Guardic Gaiden) is a pseudo sequel to Guardic on the MSX computer.
It think I was the only one in my neighborhood who own this game. It one the best from COMPILE. Never got the spotlight it deserved when it was first released. I really dig the soundtrack and COMPILE always seem compose catchy tunes in most of their games. Find the NSF of Guardian Legend, track 18 is my favorite. I can hum that tune over and over.
What was different was its mix bag of Adventure and vertical shooter. The game was split in two sections: the labyrinth, where you explore NAJU in a overhead action/adventure style and the Dungeon, where it becomes a vertical shooter blasting hordes of enemsis and then the boss at the end of the stage.
The main character was also a woman. Don't see that often during the late 80s. The only other female protagonist I can think of during that decade was Samus from Metroid.
If there was a battle between the Guardian and Samus. I bet on the Guardian. She walks around in red bikini armor, transforms into a spaceship, and has 12 different weapons to obliterate her enemies.
What can Samus do? Sure she has cool armor and free-flowing hair, but she can't turn into a spaceship.
Plus, I'm completely biased toward all COMPILE games.

That rock boss isn't too bad, you can find some higher ground on the edges of the arena where he can't reach you while he's rolling around. Some of the later bosses are really tough. MP really reminded me of old school games in that regard. I'd fight the bosses a couple of times, get my butt kicked, and think "screw this" and give up. But an hour later I'd be back at it again, which I think is the hallmark of a great game. Very, very enjoyable game. I need to get Metroid Prime 2 sometime.
I'm going to try to finish off Final Fantasy IV Advance tonight. Camping out in my car overnight anyway to try to catch the neighbor's dog, who keeps crapping in my yard and peeing on my car. :evil: Was originally going to rig up a line around all the car tires and hook it up to the battery...but I'm afraid that might kill the dog. :shock: So I'm going to have to settle for jumping out of the car and chasing him down, hopefully giving him a good scare in the process. :lol:

Oh man, sorry, but that's too funny. Go to Home Depot (or any Garden Supply place, I reckon) and you'll find a product (CAT & DOGGIE REPELLENT) to dust your lawn with.

I read up on the repellent stuff before, and apparently it's not very persistant (have to keep reapplying it). Plus my yard is about five acres. :D I guess I could always just sprinkle it in a circle around where I park. I also thought about getting one of those motion-activated things that shoots out a high-pressure blast of water and setting it up near my cars, but that's more $$$. The wire/battery idea was something my father suggested years ago, but I'm still not convinced it wouldn't kill the dog. He said there wouldn't be enough amps to do it, but I certainly don't need a lawsuit from my neighbors for frying Rover.
Funny story: I called the sheriff's office to see what the laws were about letting your dogs run loose. Apparently, there aren't any leash laws in this county. Anyway, I asked the guy what other alternatives he could suggest. He said (I kid you not) "Well, you could always just shoot the dog. Uh, make sure no one sees you so we don't hear about it." Tempting whenever I find a gift from one of the dogs stinking up my front lawn, but I don't want to hurt or kill the animals. :lol:

I agree though, shooting is a little extreme, maybe you could just catch him, stuff him in your trunk, and then drive him a few miles away and dump him in someone elses yard like I did with this annoying dog who showed up at my house and ate my f*cking UPS package one time.

I freakin' hate when people are not responsible for their dogs. My next door neighbor once had a collie, just like Lassie. They let her run around the yard as she pleased without a chain, these people never chained her, nor a invisible electric field that my former sheriff had when he had his K-9. One day I saw her stare the grim reaper in the face, she chased a passing car, and was like AN INCH away from the left rear tire.
3 months later, similar thing happened, and this time she wasnt lucky.
I wanted to tell my neighbors off about the first time, but I felt it would just cause conflict so I just let them ride it out and suffer the consequences.

GC Metroid Prime
I pickup a brand new copy a while back i figure i give this, 3d Metroid a try finally :P
It's an excellent game, one of the few standout gaming experiences I've had this generation. It's like Mario 64 or Ocarina of Time in that it pretty much perfectly translates Metroid to 3D.
Thanks this game is tough whew! The boss's in this are not a push over at all.Right now, i'm stuck on that "gaint rock boss" and you have to take him down peace by peace :twisted:
That rock boss isn't too bad, you can find some higher ground on the edges of the arena where he can't reach you while he's rolling around. Some of the later bosses are really tough. MP really reminded me of old school games in that regard. I'd fight the bosses a couple of times, get my butt kicked, and think "screw this" and give up. But an hour later I'd be back at it again, which I think is the hallmark of a great game. Very, very enjoyable game. I need to get Metroid Prime 2 sometime.
Metroid Prime, realy makes you work for the items :twisted:
I beat the rock boss finally it's just a... matter of getting the pattern down.
Right now i'm more annoeyed by the chozo ghost :evil:
Still i took a break from, MP been messing with mame as of late :)
Once in a while i get the urge for old video games.

My Son Son II came in the mail today. Stage 2 is kicking my ass right now. Very solid platformer how I like it, it's real amusing seeing all those familiar symbols seen in many old Capcom games show up. So far I've only seen the "PoW", and is that Windmill symbol show up in the game by any chance?

How did you even make it to stage 2? I still can't figure out how to get past bloody stage 1! I know someone posted here about beating stage 1, it just took a lot of patience or something.
Title: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Ninja Spirit on March 03, 2006, 06:28:17 PM
It's easy. In each stage you gotta look for a key. And be sure to buy Magic Lamps so you can continue everytime you die.
I got to stage 3 now.
I guess if I keep practicing this game I'll master it in no time. It's like after I learn a stage the first time, I'll blow right through it the next time I play. Then I might make a FAQ for Gamefaqs.
Son Son II also has a black and white code just like Sidearms.

Just recently beat PCE Prince of Persia a few days ago. Still a pretty good game even now. I had the PC version a long time ago and beat that, but it seemed that that version took much longer than the PCE but I'm sure it's the same exact game.
Kinda feel like playing PoP2. Still have the PC version somewhere in storage though. I never beat that one.

Hey guys I was playing Son Son II just now, and I think I got some very useful info for anyone else who owns the game.
There is a way to rack up on Zenny in stage 1 and might have enough to last through the game, that is if the game itself doesn't realize that you're racking up and jack up the shop prices in later stages.
First do the Extra continue trick on the title screen (Up+I+Select+Run) OR Just simply buy a magic lamp. Just casually kill enemies and getting fruit all the way to the part where you get the key. Then after getting the key, now go to a poison water pit and kill yourself. You'll get to continue with the same amount of Zenny you died with. Repeat the loop. Buy magic lamps on every round so that you can continue.
Admittedly, it's time consuming so pop in your favorite music CD and let it roll.

MSX Salamander
I been playing Salamander on the MSX. It's tougher than Raiden (on the pce) and has ugly scrolling, but it's the best horizontal shooter on the MSX.
I've been trying to beat this game for 16 years now. I don't know what it is about this game, but when I was a kid I hated it. I even threw it across my bedroom wall because I couldn't pass the first level. Today, I love it.
I found the game 5 weeks ago after cleaning out my closet. I was about to put up on ebay, but I decide to keep it because I've become addicted to it.
Yesterday I finally passed the second level. I so excited. :D
Only 5 more stages to go.

Gradius kicks ass but I do have a small gripe about it. Because the force field is bigger than Vic Viper, it's hella easy to lose pretty fast.

Beat Prince of Persia (PCE) recently. I think i mentioned that before. :P Also, been playing 1943 Kai. That game is intense! The first part isn't too bad. Seems shorter than the arcade. However, the PCE exclusive stages are just crazy! Music is much better, all the gfx are redesigned from the first part, and it just seems there's a ton more stuff flying around on the screen trying to kill you.
A minor gripe I have is that there's no stage numbers. Don't know what stage I got to in the game because of that. No big deal. The "train" stage was pretty cool and intense.

Last week I got Game Paradise for the Saturn and played through that a buncha times. I also acquired the Limited Edition of MGS3: Subsistence and have been fooling around with that a bit. Next will probably be God of War cuz it's down to 20 bucks now.

Gameparadise is awesome and you can mess around with things in the options to change the gameplay.
Currently playing Thunder Force V on the Saturn. Although I originally had this back in 1997 I didn't like it back then. fast forward 2006 I got it again and I must say I love it now... music is brilliant and its rock hard too! I wonder what the differences are between this and the Playstation's...

I was wondering that too. I've beat the NES Gradius dozens of times and yesterday on the PCE version I got to the stage I never saw before. After Stage 4 (the 2nd volcanic stage) there was a desert where you blast off the bones of dried out skeletons, I'm guessing that could be the stage you're referring to, I was too young when the arcade game came out (I was 3 in 1985)

Illusion of Gaia is an excellent game. When I first played it, I was skeptical that it would be a good game because it seemed like the ordinary snerd RPG, but once you complete the first dungeon, the game really shows it's awesomeness! What I really loved about the story was how it progressed. There was so much adventure to it so after you completed this part, you were in a totally new enviroment. The part when you are in the caves and then stuck at sea is my favorite :D . I bought it last summer and beat it in about a weak. Unique gameplay, nice graphics, great music, and wonderful story. The only downside maybe is that it's on the easy side, however that didn't bother me :) .

I finally gave up on Baten Kaitos. The combat system was mildly interesting, but the rest of the game was...crap, to put it kindly. So with Tales of Symphonia that's two Namco RPG duds for me. I think the only reason these two get any attention is because they're on Gamecube.
Anyway, I bought Resident Evil 4 for Gamecube since it finally went Players Choice. Only played it two hours before losing interest. I hope I can go back and finish this game at some point. I had the same reaction to RE4 that I had to Half-Life 2: so much hype beforehand that I was underwhelmed when I started playing the game. The graphics weren't that impressive, and while the controls are improved over old RE games (anything would be an improvement), they're still pretty clunky.
Mostly I've been playing really old games emulated on Atari 8-bit, Colecovision, and Intellivision. I'm surprised by how much time I can spend on these archaic systems and still enjoy them more than playing the very modern RE4 on GC. I'm watching several auctions on eBay right now for another Atari 8-bit computer to replace my dead one. I'm also looking for an Intellivision, a system I never paid much attention to before, but damn if it doesn't have a really good port of Burgertime!
Anyway, here's what I've been playing on Atari 8-bit: Millipede, Crystal Castles, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Mario Bros. (the one Atari did for the XEGS release, it's the best home port of Mario Bros. IMO), Frogger II, Gyruss, Pac-Man, Qix, Jungle Hunt, and Popeye. All of them are outstanding ports. It's a pity that Atari didn't release the 8-bit design as a console earlier than when they finally put out the 5200. Such a great game machine.
I got so nostalgic I broke out my 7800 too. Joust, Food Fight, Commando, Robotron 2084, and Ms. Pac-Man are all superb on the 7800. I am particularly fond of Food Fight, which I used to play tons of in the arcade. The 7800 port is excellent, and much better than the XE port, which is simply too slow.
Finally, I've been playing lots of Gals Panic in MAME. The "S" series, not the earlier Gals Panics, which I don't really care for (the ones where you have to be careful how much of the girl you uncover at a time lest the picture change to something like a frog). I always liked Qix as a kid, and the Gals Panic games are more interesting than Qix (for more reasons than the scantily clad girls! hehe).

Sweet titles. Been playing Nazo Puyo today. I love the combination of adventure game/RPG and puzzle. :)

Really? That ring inventory system is horribly clunky now, even the terrible menu system in part 3 is better. Had the game used a normal inventory screen it would hold up about 100 times better, as it is though it's just retarded and a pain in the ass to use. Chrono Trigger on the other hand I think has never been topped for smooth RPG gameplay, everything about that game is just polished to perfection and is still better than 99.999% of other RPGs out there.

Speaking of which.. Dragon Quest VIII just got released here in europe and I think I really love it!
Its got an old skool charm but I just wished (along with FFXII) that they could go mult format as PS2 just has jaggies and slower loading times than Gamecube and Xbox...

I kind of dig the menu system, it's really only annoying at first when you don't know how to operate it, but once I got used to it, it worked for me. A menu system isn't going to throw down a game for me ;) .

Why is the Mana series so popular? Legend of Mana and Sword of Mana are hated worldwide (they deserve it) and yet everybody loves the series.
Children of Mana doesn't seem very good either. Not a Square Enix title either (developed by Next Entertainment).
The third game is awesome though, I can admit that.
Anyway, been playing Wakuwaku Puyo Puyo Dungeon which I got in the mail today. I like it. It is an extremely primitive dungeon crawler with randomly generated dungeons. Very challenging and unforgiving too. Die and lose everything. I like that idea. To some extent, at least.
It should have been released in 1989 (as a Mega Drive launch title or something) instead of 1998 (last Saturn title ever) though.. That game is SO after its time.

Back in the day, I remember seeing adverts for "Deadly Labyrinth" (or something like that), a MD / Genesis title with randomly generated dungeons. IIRC, the reviews weren't too ecstatic, but I've always wanted to play it. Any relation between Wakuwaku Puyo Puyo Dungeon and the game I'm thinking of?

Puyo Puyo Dungeon is hardly the last Saturn game. It's not even the last Puyo Puyo RPG game on Saturn. :D Madou Monogatari for Saturn came out in after Puyo Puyo Dungeon in 1998. It plays more like a regular console RPG though. Heck, the last Saturn game didn't come out until 2000 or 2001. Can't remember if it was Final Fight Revenge or a multi-disc adventure game whose name escapes me right now.
BTW, there's a port of the first Madou Monogatari game for PC Engine. I haven't been able to get a copy yet since it comes up rarely on ePay, and the price is always more than I'm willing to pay.

Madoh monogatari is really crappy. The Saturn "version" is entirely different from the others in the series. Madoh monogatari for PC Engine is a port of the first game in the series (originated on the MSX2). The best ports in my opinion are the Game Gear ones.

Never really got into Guilty Gear, but Fist of the North Star is pretty cool. The fighting system is a little too complicated for my tastes, but I like to watch people battle it out in order to connect with their super finisher combo. :)
Lately I've been playing through Cosmic Fantasy 2 but right before that I managed to beat Spriggan Mark 2. Spriggan mk2 has a lot of dialogue in it. A lot more than most (all?) shooters. It's not that hard on the normal setting but some parts can get tough. Pretty good game overall.

How is final fight revenge? Also, is there a way to get this game for less than $100? On the japanese video game websites and ebay it seems to be up there in price. Is this because only limited quantities were produced?
The masses bad mouth it, but I personally like it as cheesy as it looks. May be a SFEX clone but still has the elements of a FF game, such as using weapons, and the super moves look pretty funny. When a super move involves broken bones, it'll randomly flash cool looking X-Ray pictures of bone fractures.
I haven't paid attention to the value of it much though. I got mine for 30 dollars from a anime convention 4 years ago.

I would really love to buy Final Fight Revenge but it looks like it lack a bit of "meat" in the game...... maybe one day I'll get lucky and snap it up if I see it cheap...
Right now Playing Grandia on the Saturn... I'm still impress with this even by todays 3D standards..

I just bought my copy 3 weeks ago and can't seem to put down. I think the game far surpasses the previous installments, including RE2 which used to be my favorite.
Tron, how much have you completed? I already beaten normal, professional, and separate ways. I've moved on to Assignment Ada but it's tearing me apart.

I got a bunch of games today so I've been playing them.
Dragon Slayer IV: Draslefamily (FC) - Not played it today but I've played it a thousand times before. Pretty boring game in my opinion.
Brandish (SFC) - I already had it (both the SFC and the SNES versions) but this was in better condition (new, in fact) than my current copy, so I replaced it with this one. This is the best game ever, by the way.
Dragon Slayer VI: The Legend of Heroes II (SFC) - Pretty dull game, but it's a Falcom game, and the SFC port is a thousand times better than any other version of it.
Mystic Ark (SFC) - Terrible game. Just terrible. I'll sell this one as fast as I can! :P
Star Soldier (FC) - Not tested it yet but I know this game rules. My favorite FC shooter. Definitely.
I also got Super Mario Land 2 for Game Boy, but I forgot to include that in the picture. :P That game rules. Incredible platformer!

Not as bizarre as getting two separate pieces of paper folded in half and calling that a manual. My manual of Guardic for the MSX came this way, and this coming from japan where I expect it to be bounded together with at least staples.

Dragon Slayer IV: Draslefamily (FC)
aka "Legacy of the Wizard"
Yeah i couldn't get into that. ---------------------
Last Saturday was a blast another great day for fighting gaming. some friends and I drove 2 hours to another vs. fighter tournament. Unfortunately since it was a "team tournament" for Guilty Gear XX Slash and SF3 3rd Strike, and there was only 3 of us, I bit the bullet and let them go. I wanted to see them go through the fire of being challenged by out of towners to sharpen their skills up anyway.
The highlight of my day though was after 6 months of drooling over the videos I finally got to play the new Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star fighter. It was weird at first because I caught myself pressing three buttons simultaneously to "roman cancel" special moves just because it was Arc Systems and moved just like Guilty Gear. Lots of people whored out Juda, Rei, and Raoh.
Speaking of Arc Systems, there's a rumor going around that AS and Taito are in a joint project to bring out another fighter.

PS2 ESPGaluda DoDonPachi: Dai Ou Jou
ESPGaluda and DDP: DOJ, both are vertical shooters from Cave. These two games I'm completely addicted to. Ever since I started playing them two weeks ago, all other games I've been playing has been put on hold.
Saturn Strikers 1945 II
I just purchased a modded Saturn for $52 about 1 month ago. It only plays U.S and backups, and I bought it cheap because there's no CD lid. I don't mind though because I already ordered a replacement shell, it's in the mail. This is my first Saturn console and I'm having a blast playing Strikers 1945 II (on CD-R).
PC-Engine Kyuukyoku Tiger
I've been trying to beat Kyuukyoku Tiger for a few months now. I know I'm close to beating it, I'm just stuck on stage 8. I don't know if I will finish it anytime soon since I'm preoccupied with playing ps2 games.

New Super Mario is in my current playlist as well. It's pretty cool.
I'm also in the middle of God of War -- I kinda sit down every few weeks and play through a few levels and then drop it again. Not in a huge hurry to finish it.
Last night I finally decided to make an honest effort at playing Earthbound on SNES. I've had it forever, and started it a million times, but always dropped it. This time I'm going all the way! :P

Still plugging away at Dragon Quest VIII now and then. Pretty and a wonderful localization, but the utterly archaic game mechanics are beginning to grate. Also been playing Morrowind a bit (still love the game after all these years). Finally, I finished up MechAssault 2 on Xbox. What a worthless way to use the property. Hello FASA, when people buy a mech game it's usually because they want to actually pilot a mech, not sneak around on foot planting explosive charges, piloting VTOLs, manning a stationary gun, etc. Bring back MechWarrior!

Am currently right smack in the middle of Earthbound and have dropped all other games for right now -- haven't touched God of War or New SMB for weeks!
Funny how -- and I'm sure this happens to you guys too -- sometimes I look at my game collection and think of those games on the "rainy day pile" (most of which are RPGs), and I think "eh, I bet I'm never REALLY gonna get around to playing any of 'em, much as I'd like to." And then, one day, I actually do pick one up and get into it -- and here I am playing nothing but my Super NES for the last two weeks and loving it. And then I kick myself for never having played this game that's been sitting in my collection for the past 10 years because it's great! Then when I'm done, I feel just a little bit more "caught up" on my gaming life than I was before.
...or is it just me? :wink:
Plus, now that I'm all up on my SNES right now, I'm starting to wish I'd bought some of those cool wireless SNES controllers from Messiah at the MGC show. :P

Speaking of Messiah, I tried out that Generation NEX at a Gamecrazy.
Now y'all have heard it from me:
>Akumajou Densetsu/Castlevania 3 doesn't work.
>Other wise it does support the custom Famicom sound mappers. I played my copy of Lagrange Point, and I can hear that VRC7 generated music.
Which leaves me to this conclusion, I'll think about buying just so I can play more Lagrange Point, I found a throrough walkthrough in Japanese, but I can use World Lingo to translate the page, I think I can do pretty well with the Engrish, I already know what the menus say since I got a notebook where I actually translated that stuff.

If you're only getting it for a Famicom game, can't you just get a Famicom for about the same price? I haven't priced them lately but I would think you could get one for $60 or less, and not have any problems at all. Just a thought. :)

Oh -- well, if you're looking for an AV, then possibly. A Twin will most likely be a hundred or more. But if you'll settle for a regular ol' RF Famicom, I think you could get one for 60 or less...then again I haven't priced them lately, I got mine 10 years ago so I'm probably way out of the loop and I shouldn't even be talking out loud. :P

An unboxed AV can be bought for at least $90, thats the lowest I've ever seen them on ebay. The Twin FC, unboxed or complete, are always around $120+ and the price also depends not only on its condition, but its color too.

Saturn:
Policenauts - Manage to finish the game for the second time. The first was on the PS1. Just wish I have a light gun for the Act 7. The lobby scene gets crazy, so many damn guards shooting me at once. Gets really fustrating to aim with a d-pad.
Salamander Deluxe - Only for the original Salamander. Haven't put much time into Lifeforce, maybe sometime later. Salamander 2 is quite lame, way to easy and the gameplay falls short.

A few days ago I bought Resident Evil: Code Veronica X for the PS2. I got it for $10.23 brandnew at Fry's Electronics. I wasn't suppose to spend any money since I had already forked over half my paycheck on games this month.
After staring at the game for 5 minutes, I decided to buy it. I thought to myself I'd be kicking myself in the ass later if didn't. It so cheap. I'm glad I did because RECVX is quite fun to play.
The knife is damn powerful in this game, not powerful as a shotgun, but if used correctly you can literatlly put down one zombie in three swings. You can't use the knife expoit as in RE3, instead use the down slash to do mulitple hits in one swing leading to tons damage.
I'm halfway thru the game and up to now I've survived with only my knife, seriously. I'm kinda obessed knifing every zombie to death. Slash the legs, zombie on floor, rake the back twice w/ knife for mulit-hits.

Well, I was just playing the Gameboy Color version of R-Type on my old GBA. I used to LOVE this game...before I got a TurboExpress. Now it's just funny.
Sadly, I died 3 times in the first stage of the GB version, while I can get to at least stage 5 without dying in TG16 R-Type. That's just wrong.

I want to search for some Psy-O-Blade info on the web, but most links lead to japanese webpages and the google translator stinks. What's a really good webpage for translating japanese?

I'm playing Ys Book I & II again right now. It is entertaining (of course, it is Ys!), but much too easy, and I don't like the music. :)

Chronicles or Riddick for pc. I have been playing that and Bet on Soldier alot these past few days. Since I am on the subject I want to bitch for a min or two. The game: Tom (I suck ass) Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for pc. Why? 1. You walk at grannys pace,actually if granny had a walker she would still outpace you,you move that slow.
2.When you run,you still move slow,like your trying to jog in place slow. Like you dont take the threat of being sprayed with semi-automatic bullets as being life or death. You run like you just Big Mac'd and supersized your meal at McDonalds 15 times in 1 day,or like your on bloody stumps. The point is,the run key really doesn't work,because your really not running.
3. When you "run" you can't shoot. This is retarded. Yes I totally agree that you can't aim well while in a run,but you can damn well spray some bullets and hope for the best. Nope,in this game they got you running away like a little scared bitch,even worse since you dont really run,its more like crawling away like a scared little bitch.
Imagine what would have happened if Bill Rizer or Lance Bean had to f*cking run away from the Red Falcon because they couldn't run and shoot?
What would have happened to Ralph and Clark? ? ?(http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/3696/ikarishot11kx.png)
I mean crap,ABBA wouldn't even have helped you if that was the case. I know what your gonna say,Ralph and Clark did not run,but this I tell you,remember how slow Ralph and Clark moved in waist high water? You were still able to dodge bullets and gernades correct?
That pace is still worlds faster then when you "run" in Ghost Recon. If Ralph and Clark were real,and were dropped into the Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter storyline,crashed their plane there,ect...the game would be beaten in like 10 mins,cause Ralph and Clark are so damn bad ass,with only a machine gun and some gernades,maybe a tank or two.
Sarge from Quake 3 you ask???? He'd f*cking smoke Mexico City into nothing,running and shooting the whole time. Sam,he would serious bomb the city into nothing,then as the terrorist run,he would smoke them with his chaingun. This is a good example of how f*cking weak your character is in Ghost Recon, even Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell kicks more ass and moves faster,even when he is in crawl mode.
4. You die way way too easy. It felt like I was a fragile china doll. Thats like saying all that gear your character wears,millions of dollars spent on high tech crap,its all worthless,because it can't stop like 4 f*cking bullets. I would have thought that the fine folks at Ubisoft and Tom Clancy himself knew that high tech bullet proof vest and head gear could stop more then 4 bullets,hell any bullets. Your armor doesn't stop shit. Each time your shot your hurt. Bet On Soldier walks all over this game,and in Bet on Soldier,your lucky if you got some trashcan lid for armor.
5. Mexico City. Its looks better in the game then in real life. They left out alot of the smog and trash.
I thought Ageia would help make the enviroments more realistic like pictured above.......
So nasty young and the old alike can't breath.(http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3011/old8wo.jpg) (http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/460/young8gu.jpg)
6. f*cking clown shoes Tom,all your games are f*cking clown shoes.
Ahh enough ranting now. I guess that is my kinda sorta review for Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for pc.

I just finished Grandia for the Saturn... what a great RPG. I first played through it when it came out (I bought it in Dec. '97) and I decided to play through it again since I remembered absolutely nothing about it. So if you play an RPG through once, come back to it again about 10 years later and it will seem like an all new game =)
I think I'll stick with Game Arts and play through Lunar MPEG version next...

It seems like they had a much smaller budget but the voice acting is top notch later on in the story. plus theres a great epilogue at the end to play through.

Only in my wet dreams. With the exception of the MSX (I own a few MSX systems btw), I don't have a PC-88, PC-98, or FM-Towns computer. Two months ago I very close to getting my hands on a FM-Towns Marty II, but around that time I went into financial debt. So had to forget about buying one. Still, as long as I can play the games thru an emulator I'm satisfied.

Ack! You got me..but still, that GMIX6809 is a beast, the way he controls all the space around him and preventing overcrowding is off the chain!
However if I'm gonna put some footage out after I beat the game, I'm gonna do things differently, use Ninja instead of Kunoichi. I'll just make a "VGMV" (Video Game Music Video as opposed to AMV's like all those ones made out of the same FMV sequences from like Final Fantasy 7 to X-2) with my own music on it.

PC-8801: Psy-O-Blade - finally beat it after 4 months of trial and error. Great game, love it to death.
I put up some Psy-O-Blade movies on youtube, if anyone is interested. The movies were bright and clear when I made them. But when I uploaded them on youtube, they appear darker than usual. Is that normal?
I've been pretty high on games for FM-Towns since yesterday. I really want one of these systems, especially for the handful of great shooters its got.
FM-Towns:
Kyukyoku Tiger - probably the best console port yet. The graphics are close to the arcade, and as an extra you can choose between original or arrange music. The arrange track track are upbeat and some actually sound better than the original.
Tatsujin Ou - I believe this is the only console port of Tatsujin 2 that I know of and it's really a must play IMO. Graphics and music is awesome, I really gots to play the arcade version on mame to compare. I haven't gotten too far in this game but its very addictive.

Finally got time to play some games. I actually beat some too! :)
Crystal Beans (SFC) Not sure how I feel about this game. I like Dungeon Explorer and this version seems to be a mix of DE dungeons and SFC (only?) dungeons. This version seems to be more of a straight action game w/o the general exploring of DE. There's a map where you just select your destination and it's off to whatever town or dungeon you select. Basically you go into town to "unlock" the next dungeon. I'd hardly call them puzzles since just speaking to everybody in town will unlock the next path. Hell, probably just going into the town and leaving would be enough.
The dungeons seem pretty short. Toward the end of the game, you have to go thru successive dungeons and fight a number of bosses. But even during that marathon you can still exit the dungeon and go back to town... although there's no reason to.
The music is decent. It was nice to hear a number of the PCE tracks remade for this version.
Out of the 15-20 or so bosses, only like 4 or 5 of them were actually tough. The last boss wasn't that hard either. The only reason why he was hard to beat was that you had to do a ton of damage to him. Most other bosses died pretty quickly.
Dragon Spirit (FC) Decent port for FC. A bit on the easy side. Game gives you a ton of power ups and there's not that many enemies on the screen at once. The nice thing about this version compared to the PCE is that it has a number of enemies that the PCE ver left out. Also the dragon has more flying animations (backing, slowing down, diving). FC version also has the underwater stage and the opening transformation sequence which are totally missing in the PCE ver. I'm pretty sure there's more, but I haven't played the PCE or the arcade version in a while.
Spartan X (aka Kung Fu) (FC) Where's the PCE port!? :) Not sure why I like this game so much. There were better games than this even back then. I guess it's just the game's simplicity... and the fact that you can kick the crapload out of an unlimited supply of generic goons. :)

Been playing Splatterhouse alot on the FM-Towns. I'm so damn impressed by the music which is redbook, and near identical graphics of the arcade. Last night I went back to playing the pce version and notice how much smaller the playing field is in comparison to the FM-Towns port. This game really could have been remade on the PC-Engine arcade cd or some kind of Namco anthology for todays consoles. Splatterhouse fans are really missing out on this gem.

GODDAMN, the legend is true! I've always heard that this was a godly port, and you're corroborating the hearsay. Damn!
And this game, IIRC, goes for MAD $$$, even in Yahoo Japan auctions.

Most reviews I've read say the samething that the FM-Towns ports is the best, and they're entirely true. I played thru both the FM-Towns and Arcade (via mame) up to stage 4 and did a side by side comparison. Almost perfect IMO, slight differences in sound effects and resolution is somewhat smaller in FM-Towns port but expected in console game. Why Namco isn't re-releasing this gem is like Konami hold back Dracula X and Policenauts from the rest of the world. It's blasphemy I say.

Drac X and Policenauts are original games though. I don't blame companies for not releasing emulations of virtually perfect arcade ports when they can just put out a quality port/emulation of the actual arcade game itself.
Personally, I'm not that interested in playing perfect ports for systems like X68000 (I don't know how perfect FM Towns ports are), because they're too perfect and the hardware isn't greatly inferior to the original.
Forgotten Worlds on PCE is amazing. A near perfect FW on X68000 would be expected.
I am interested in seeing them compared to the originals on websites and such, but if it looks, sounds and plays like the arcade, I might as well be playing Mame instead of an X68000 emulator.

I think its cool and I would love to have the real deal, but I wouldn't spend too much time emulating the 'perfect' arcade ports.
Of course, this is going on third hand knowledge, I've never managed to get an X68k emu to work. If I did, I might get hooked.
But regardless, I think its understandable that companies wouldn't offer emulations of perfect ports instead of perfectly emulated ports.

Its worth using the X68000 emulator just to play the awesome Geograph Seal, an early (maybe first?) game made by the guys who made Jumping Flash. Its like Jumping Flash mixed with Starfox, it rules and looks damn good for an old polygon game. If you have a modded Xbox there's an X68000 emulator that runs it flawlessly, that's what I play it on.

It doesn't take much to get a X68000 emulator going. You'll only need two things... 1.) Win68K v0.95 High speed version (http://www.geocities.jp/winx68khighspeed/) 2.) X68000 system roms (http://www.jcec.co.uk/x68000r.zip)

I agree with Black_Tiger here; I'm not intersted in playing arcade or near-arcade perfect titles for a computer system like the X86000 because I really don't have a point to if I already played it on the arcades. I'd love to play any games originally made for the system, but just playing perfect ports of games I've already played would be a waste of my time honestly. If it was a port on a console from back the on the other hand, I would certainly be interested in playing it just to see the differences and how well the console tried to handle the game.

First, make sure you put the system roms in the same folder with the Win68k app.
Loading games in Win68k ain't difficult. If the game is on a single disk then load it in FDD0. Then goto File --> Restart
If the game is on more than 2 disks. Load the first disk in FDD0 and the second disk in FDD1. Then goto File --> Restart. Thats should get things going.

Those multiple disk can be annoying, most times you'll have to figure them out thru trial and error.
To load Street Fighter II... 1.) Goto Options --> "The amount of MainMemory in SRAM" and set value to 10 Mbytes. 2.) Place FDD0 [Disk0] and FDD1 [Disk1]; File-->Restart. 3.)Wait for the prompt that says "Disk 2..." then place FDD1 [Disk2]. 4.)Wait again and the prompt should say "Disk3..." then place FDD1 [Disk3]. The game should load after that.

Just finished a bunch of games.
Tales of Symphonia GC - the worst story and characters I have seen in an RPG in a very long time. Gameplay is decent, I like the combat system and there's lots of other neat ideas in the game, but the story is so awful it drags the entire game down.
Star Fox Assault - oh what the hell happened here...Star Fox 64 was one of my favorite N64 games, but Nintendo had to go and loan out the franchise to Namco. When this was announced long ago I think the word was that the Ace Combat team was doing it. Sounded good, but then this abomination comes out. The Arwing segments are good...but you spend most of your time on foot or in the Landmaster, which is crap (especially the on foot parts). Again, glad I rented this instead of buying.
The Bouncer - yeah, feel free to laugh. I wanted to judge this one for myself and it was indeed a poor game. Terrific real-time cutscenes and a good engine overall considering when it came out, but terrible story and mediocre gameplay. I don't expect beat-em-ups to last hours and hours, but this one can be cleared in slightly over an hour, of which 80% is cutscenes rather than gameplay. Rental again.
Klonoa Lunatea's Veil - I thought I'd like this one more than I did since it reviewed highly. I played one of the GBA games a few years back and wasn't impressed. The PS2 game has similar gameplay. I normally like 2.5D platformers, and this one is certainly very pretty, but the gameplay is just boring. The worst thing is that Namco stuffed a story between every level that slows everything down tremendously. And the characters all talk in a chirping pseudo-language that you can't skip... :x Yep, another rental.
Lot of clunkers for me lately. I really hope Final Fantasy XII turns out well. I haven't anticipated a game as much as that one in a long time.

First, make sure you put the system roms in the same folder with the Win68k app.
Loading games in Win68k ain't difficult. If the game is on a single disk then load it in FDD0. Then goto File --> Restart
If the game is on more than 2 disks. Load the first disk in FDD0 and the second disk in FDD1. Then goto File --> Restart. Thats should get things going.
How do you run a 5 disk game like SFII?
Those multiple disk can be annoying, most times you'll have to figure them out thru trial and error.
To load Street Fighter II... 1.) Goto Options --> "The amount of MainMemory in SRAM" and set value to 10 Mbytes. 2.) Place FDD0 [Disk0] and FDD1 [Disk1]; File-->Restart. 3.)Wait for the prompt that says "Disk 2..." then place FDD1 [Disk2]. 4.)Wait again and the prompt should say "Disk3..." then place FDD1 [Disk3]. The game should load after that.
Awesome thanks a lot, I finally got it working. Before I only got like one of the Ys games working.
How the hell did you figure that out?
SFII'CE looks pretty much identical, except for some slightly different colors and possibly a lower resolution. The sfx are a lot less perfect and the sound sways back and forth between arcade and PCE sounding.

I ran into the same problems before, and I've solved most of them thru trial and error. I heard the best way around mulitple disks is to make a HDD image and dump the floppy contents into that. I don't know how to do this though, so if you if find out let me know.

Can you explain the animosity towards NES for me then?
It makes more sense to hate on a genre then an entire console. I don't like nearly all Sports games and don't play mahjong, but I don't really hate any particular video game system.

Haha, I'm not really sure why he doesn't like it, but to me it seems like it's some kind of "cult fad" these days to not like NES, which I think is crazy. As funny as this sounds, I think the reason why he says he hates NES is because he liked Genesis and TG16 much more when he got into those, at least that's sort of what he told me once. I also think it's because he doesn't think the shooters for NES are any good and since he's a big fan of shmups, he uses it for a reason to hate NES. He's a hilarious yet insane and sick man, his website (http://www.templeofinsanity.com/) is proof of that :D .

One thing I hate about 360 is sudden jolt or tilt of the machine while a disc inside is spinning makes it sound like the disc has gone loose and bouncing around, then you got one badly scratched disc as I found out the hard way.. so no pets or young kids near it please!!

Ever since the 360 came out, I've heard stories about scratched discs. But it never happened to me, until recently...
After I got my new LCD TV, I stood my 360 in the upright position behind the TV so I could fit both on the stand I was using. A week or so later and PSU started crashing whenever I tried to load specific areas of the game.
It took me a while to narrow it down, but my game disc was actually severely scratched, in a ring pattern near the outer edge. I was releived that I didn't need a new system, after discovering that the 360 only has a 30 day warranty.
Luckily, PSU was the only game that got scratched(I'd been playing only it and GoW). I took the disc to a local game rental store(Ground Zero) that does disc resurfacing.
They use a large machine and not one of those ripp-off Game Doctor things. They gave my the disc back in a few minutes looking better than new and it plays fine now.
Needles to say, my 360 went back to the flat position and my Wii will never be played upright(once I get one).

FM-Towns: Alltynex - fantastic doujin shooter by Siter Skain. I really dig everything about the game: graphics, music, and especially the weaponry system. It's cool being able to switch from airplane to robot, and go into a melee attack.
Image Fight - Christ, it's just as unforgiving as the the arcade, but decent gameplay. Not much of must-play here, but what I truely hate about this port is the tate-destorying mode. It's has one of those screens where it can be scrolled up or down in relation to the player’s position. Those are so annoying because you tend to get blind sided by enemies who can see you and you can't see them. Until you move up the screen where the enemy can fire at you point blank, and sometimes it too late to dodge.

Multiplayer is where it's at as well for bomberman jetters.

I am at the part where I am in the floating city and I am about to go through the labyrinth to see some dumbass statue. I'm not sure how far I am in the game, maybe 1/50th of the way through so far. The music is pretty good (all generated by the Saturn the same way the PC Engine and the Genesis did music, not streamed or anything). There is only one music track that I don't like. Lots of slowdown and glitches, though. Wasn't this one of the first Saturn games programmed?

I'm with Joe on this one, I seek out every nook and cranny when I play RPG's. First, I paid for the damn game and I want to get my money's worth (i.e. there's no need to rush through a game). Second, and I think a lot of you folks might feel the same way, many games encourage folks to obsessively / compulsively collect / explore stuff. So, my entire gaming life has trained me to scour games. Also, I prefer to see everything the first time through, since I usually don't replay an RPG for years.
Yes, I was the kid who wanted to read every story branch in the Choose Your Adventure Books :(.
That said, my patience is not limitless. I don't mind some degree of level-grinding, but it can get tedious.
EDIT: And for the record, I don't understand the WD haters. Look at the boring, generic localizations we were getting. If WD had done run-of-the-mill translations, it would have been lackluster. Part of the intrigue with WD is that they were goofy. Even if you thought the humor was juvenile, it was still better than the usual tripe. Plus, I would reckon that most folks who bought WD titles knew what to expect.
Anyway, I had written a nice post defending WD the other day, but I think I forgot to hit "post" because I don't see it in this thread. Ooops.

I know WD gets crap from some gamers cause they say WD ruined the translations by not translating faithfully to the original script (also applies for many anime/manga dweebs whining about certain licensed translations vs. fansubs). Now while it's true that WD randomly put in western-(or US) specific references that had nothing to do with the original script, I'd much rather take their style of translating than the other extreme of translating everything word-for-word.
If you ever take any recognized translation certification exams, and try to translate something in a literal fashion, they will fail you right away. How do I know? :oops:

I don't know why so many people believe that it's only possible to englishize a game in one of two ways: Samurai Pizza Cats or a literal direct translation.
Just because someone doesn't appreciate some extreme cases of WD 'humour' or one or two particular company decisions, it doesn't mean that they hate WD.
And there's still a difference between juvenile themes/subject matter and bad writing/jokes. Just as a single joke's effectiveness is dependant on how well someone tells it. The new Family Guy doesn't even use punch lines with most of it's pop culture references anymore, they just shoehorn in a name or show a personality, and that's it. Where as before, it was at least part of an actual joke. Because the joke's the joke, not the name dropping.
We've got people here talking everyday about things they don't appreciate about the Turbo/PCE universe (like Turbochip manuals), but just because they're not blind fanboy console war whores doesn't mean that they hate the Turbo/PCE, otherwise they wouldn't be here in the first place.

Yeah, I know: I was responding moreso to the things I've read over the past few years about how lame WD was and how abominable Victor Ireland was. Our best discussion occurred a few months ago when NightWolve was here and we discussed the problems of literal translations. Until then, I had never known that there were so many folks (I was reading old threads and articles on various sites) who hated WD for, in their eyes, bastardizing the source material.
Emeril Rocker offers an objective reason to be upset with WD (promising to include extra features, or certain elements in a game, failing to deliver, and then lying about it... like the hidden boss in that PSX shooter)...
But even this isn't reason enough to dislike WD, and Emeril's list of such occurrences is short.
As far as delaying releases... I don't have a problem with this. Yes, it is unfortunate, but I will never understand folks who get angry when a game is delayed. As long as I can play it, I'm happy. Timeframe is not important. I'm much more upset when a company announces a game and then cancels it, but even this isn't the worst thing in the world.
I've never seen Samurai Pizza Cats, but I'm sure it is bad. It takes a lot of work and creativity to make a serious, heartfelt localization -- in that sense, WD cut some corners by relying on Howard Stern humor instead of something more sophisticated. Nonetheless....
Just because someone doesn't appreciate some extreme cases of WD 'humour' or one or two particular company decisions, it doesn't mean that they hate WD.
Exactly. I have every Working Designs game for the Saturn and quite a few for the TG-16 and Sega CD. I have one for the Playstation (that Taito shooting game that sucked ass). I have none for the PS2.
Well, I've said this before, but I think it warrants a repeat: 1. WD revitalized TG-16 & TG-CD. The releases from NEC were getting pretty sparse and weren't too exciting. WD single-handedly injected some hope into the TG-16 scene. Now, I know what you're thinking: NEC might have released the same, or similar titles. Even if this had happened, they wouldn't have been as charming as WD's localization (unless, of course, WD handled it for them... which they did on an occasion or two, IIRC). Anyway, WD was the only worthwhile third-party... releasing many titles and all of them rocked, except for Exile 2.
2. WD was a saving grace for Sega CD. My brothers and I sure knew how to pick the winners. First we support TG-CD, then we put our faith in Sega. Of all the games we played (a lot), we were grateful for WD's offerings. Those titles alone justified the Sega CD, which might be pathetic, or a testament to WD's library, depending on how you feel :).

Vasteel may be my favorite WD game. To this day, I won't play any war sim that isn't hexagonalish(in other words, I've gotten into Vasteel, Nectaris 1 & Neo amd Iron Storm).
Although a lot of the visuals are run of the mill, some parts are amazing and the game has some of the best 'special effects' of any Turbo/PC Engine game. I still want to replay far enough through to capture some videos of, among other things, the stage with a transparant layer of background that peels off of itself into a new layer and then warps all over the place.
Its been a long time since I played it, but I remember wondering if they actually made models of every unit and then snapped photos of them at 8 angles for the battle sprites.

I don't really ever try war sims, but one other I really liked is Lords of the Rising Sun. It also has one of the Turbo's best bad dubs.
I also tried Vasteel 2 but didn't like it. I would've been fine without the controlable battles if they'd kept the rest of the gameplay at least similar to the original.

Trace Memory seems pretty good so far. I've played about 4 or so hours into it. Before I picked it up, I kept reading about how people thought it was a good but underrated game. Then I started reading about Hotel Dusk and that looked pretty cool too. Found out that Cing made both games so when I saw Trace Memory for $20, I picked it up. :)

Which ever console gains a discernable lead (if any) will be the home of all the great RPGs. But since RPGs are becoming less popular, even in japan, chances are there won't be as many RPGs on any new system like there was for PS2.

I'm not so sure how true that would be for X Box 360 unless it got really popular in Japan, but if Sony manages to keep decent enough sales with the PS3, then I think PS3 will probably have the most RPGs even without being the most popular.

PC Windows Daikaisen - The Great Paci-Fish War (http://www.amusement-center.com/project/aiky/origin/kaisen/index.html): I think this the only rail-shooter by Compile. IIRC there's 5 stages but things don't get crazy until stage 4. Not all that exciting if you ask me.

Hey Rolins... how would you compare the pce vs fm towns vs etc. versions of image fight? I'm casually familiar with the game, but I've spent nearly 100% of my time with the pce version.
I can't make a comparison just yet, maybe later. I'd have to go back to the playing the pce version, since its been a while and I don't remember how it measures up to the original.
I wasn't going to share this to anyone until I finished making videos of the whole game, but since you guys are curious I might as well. I've posted Stage 1-5 of the fm-towns version at Vimeo a few weeks back. The quality is better than youtube. They still transcode your video to flv but at a higher bitrate. This should give a better idea what the fm-towns version looks like.

Not the best, but a solid beat-em-up for the Duo. I can't think of any other good beat-em-ups on the duo other than Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (River City Ransom).
In fact, other than Riot Zone - which I'm not impressed with - I don't even know any other beat-em-ups for the PCE/TG.

That crappy one with the women gangs and 50ies pop rock junk soundtrack. I think it was called Ane-San. Yea I think the Genesis/Megadrive ruled these types of games. I dont think it was lack of power that kept alot more being produced for Pc Engine either. With the Arcade Card they could have made alot of them,or made them on Hu-Cards in large meg size.
I think the only other real beat'em up I like that you didn't mention for Pc-Engine is Vigilante. I did like Double Dragon 2 for Pc-Engine,but I like the arcade game more and in the process enjoy playing the Mega Drive port more. People dump on Riot Zone alot,but I always liked it,and still do. It had the average amount of moves for a beat'em up,and it was fun to play to me,and the graphics were slightly above average considering the sprite size.
People always knock the lack of amount of moves,because Streets of Rage 2 has a ton,but they forget most other games in this genre like TMNT had only the simple button attack combo,a trow,special attack,and a jump attack. Not much more. I don't feel it broke any molds in the genre but I still enjoyed it like other titles like Rival Turf. Not the best,but not the worst. The worst are titles like Ninja Clowns by IT,Battletoads/DoubleDragon,garbage like that.

Other wise you will get a glitch in the graphics like you mention.

Does Saturn Cotton 2 support the 4MB RAM cart, the 1MB RAM cart, or NO RAM cart? Or all three? I've always been confused about this, and I can't tell any difference.

KOF 97 will work with the 4 meg cart,but it has a longer load time initially with it if I remember right,which was kinda annoying. Really its best to use the 1 meg cart on all the SNK titles I cant remember if the Real Bouts have problems or not,and I was thinking Metal Slug only liked the 1 meg cart,could be wrong on that though,as its been years since I messed with the Saturn ports.
My son got some Spongebob game for Wii, It actually controls well,and it seemed kinda fun,just not my type of game. So basically he has been playing that,and I am still playing Bad Day LA.

Real Bout Special will work fine with the 4MB cart, it even says right on the cover that it supports it.
As for Cotton 2, the Shin Force (http://www.shinforce.com/saturn/RAMCompatibility.htm) site says that it uses an optional 2MB mode, so I checked out the cover scan from here (http://covers.satakore.com/).
And it says right there in the green/blue box that it supports it. It's a little bit blurry and my Japanese isn't good enough to completely guess at all the Kanji, but it does seem to say that you can play without it, but if you do something about *voices* (the middle row sentence).
So some voices come out that you normally wouldn't hear? I dunno. If any Japanese speakers can make out the Kanjis, what the hell does it say?
Welp, nevermind... what I wrote above... Seems like digi.k verified what I said (before I hit the post button).

Oh, and I'm not sure about the whole "2MB" mode for Cotton 2. I'd bet that the voices would work fine with the 1MB cart, since the above cover only mentioned the regular RAM expansion cart (meaning 1MB cart). But I don't have the game, so that's only an assumption.

I've only tested Cotton 2 with Capcom's 4MB ram cart so I can't say if its compatible with anything else...
Well when you boot up cotton 2 for the first time you get these 2 screens I think they basically to tell you if you dont have enough ram to save your game etc...
This one tells you about the external memory save cart. (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/Image0226-2130CVBS1.jpg)
And finally on the title screen it will tell you that its detected the memory expansion (http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/Image0226-2140CVBS.jpg)

Back when I had Real Bout Special,I had the Real Bout Collection that had both Special and normal Real Bout. I just don't remember if both games work fine with the 4 meg cart. Same with KOF 96. I remember Samurai Spirits 3 working ok with 4 Meg cart...
KOF 95 had its own ram cart,and Fighters History Dynamite too I think. Marvel Super Heroes used the 4 Meg for sure,and I think could use the 1 meg cart also. Even the USA release worked with the 4 meg cart. Galaxy Fight didn't need it,but I think for a good experience Waku Waku 7 and Astra Superstars did need a ram cart. Pocket Fighter was improved with the ram carts too I think. Ultraman had its own ram cart it needed,but man that game sucked badly. Fatal Fury 3 did not use one,and neither did World heroes perfect. Then you have the other Capcom releases that used the 4 meg cart,and a couple others I think.
Just been way too long since I had any of those SNK ports and messed with them. I am just more inclined to own the Neo carts these days.

Just recently modified my favorite msx joystick the XE-1PRO using the Atari retrokit (http://retrousb.com/kits.html). Opted to modify it b/c it's DB9 cable got mangled, and rather than repair it I decided to install a usb cable instead. Installing the retrokit was absolutely painless. About 13 solder points is all it takes, and results are worth it. The joystick is responsive and buttons are sensitive, just how I remembered it. Got into playing some shmups through BlueMSX and Mame. Works especially well with all the maniac shooters from Cave.
I'm thinking of ordering the saturn retrokit. I got few spare saturn pads lying around, and I need the best gamepad for playing SNK and Capcom fighting games on mame.

I'm jealous only because I won't have time to play any Master System games over the next few days.
I did pick up my second Gam*Boy earlier this week, this time with working fm sound, and my first batch of Korean pirate(?) Mark III games. The best part is that it came with two good condition Gam*Boy pads, which I didn't have before.
Pretty much my weekly dose of gaming consisted of testing out those knock off carts, mainly Ghost House.

Galaxy Deka Gayvan. Goddamn this game sucks. I decided to try it out after reading some positive reviews on this beat-em up, but a friend and I couldn't stand it for more than 20 minutes. Plays something like Battletoads (which I liked), without any up-down movements and a crappy list of moves. Ugh...
Gates of Thunder. Call me a hater, but I honestly don't see why this game is held in such high regards. I personally feel that a lot of other "16-bit shooters" around this era beats the hell out of this game. Overall, it's a good shooter for sure with good graphics and music, but the weapon system is pretty weak, the bosses aren't that impressive, and not that challenging overall. I just don't think it's up to par with shooters like LoT, Spriggan, Gaires, TF3-4, etc, etc.
Sapphire. Probably the best damn looking game on the Duo. I still don't think it's the best shooter on this system, but definitely top 3 or 4.

Sucks to hear this, I've been really wanting to play this game for a few years. I generally don't hear much about it, so I'm not entirely sure what to expect but the screenshots look cool. Thanks for clarifying that it had no up and down movement, I was always wondering if it did or not.

I just don't think it's up to par with shooters like LoT, Spriggan, Gaires, TF3-4, etc, etc.
GoT took me awhile to fully appreciate it, now I think it's way up there as one of the best shooters ever made. Though it was definitely on the easy side, the action was consistent and didn't leave you bored, especially during parts of the level where the speed increases.
The level progression, in my opinion, is what really crushed other shooters at the time. In a level like 6, you fly over a spectacular city scape, shift down into a corridor with gigantic missles filling up the screen launching at you, blaze through a secret underground passage and eventually make your way into an eerie water drainage room where you face a ED-209 knock off - it's fascinating to the max.
I'd also like to quickly comment on the weapon system. Though it's not much, it's really all you need. A game like Thunder Force gives you a nice variety of weapons, but Gates gives you the three weapons you'll only need and it makes cycling through weapons a lot easier. On top of that, the three weapons themselves look pretty cool. 8)

Been playing some PS1 today. Started over at SOTN again yesterday, and it is still so much fun even though I've played through it twice in the past six months. I love that game.
I also got around to playing Legend of Mana seriously for the first time. I've been saving it because I've been hoping it would be good. I'm always looking forward to playing new Mana games but...
I'm ALWAYS super disappointed! Why, oh why can't I learn that the Mana games are shit? This is horrible. Such an abysmal game. Top notch graphics and sound, as with every Square game, but that's it. The game is freaking unplayable. Running at 5 FPS max, this game is insanely slow, and the battle system's a joke, as with every Mana game. Damn it. I wanted to enjoy this game, but as it sucks - I can't possibly do that, I cannot even remotely enjoy it. Oh the horror.
Totally looking forward to trying that new PS2 Mana game though! It will rule!
(I know it'll suck, but as I said before - I can't help but look forward to the next Mana game like crazy.)

Air Diver - Yeah! Hellfire - Yeah! MUSHA - Yeah! RC Grand Prix - SMS - Yeah! Super Hydlide - Yeah!
By playing all 5 Seismic games on my Genesis in a row, it unlocked MORE RAW POWER for my Genesis to consume, and it makes Blast Processing even more impressive (which I thought would be impossible). Another thing that is interesting is that if for any reason my electricity goes out, I can just put all 5 Seismic games in their cases next to each other (touching), and the raw power generated is enough to power my entire neighborhood for months!

Got Final Fantasy Anniversary Edition (PSP) today. You can choose English text in the main menu, even though it is the Japanese version. Odd. But good.
I've never been interested in FF1 'til now. This could very well be the best-looking 2d game ever (it looks especially nice on the PSP's fancy wide screen lcd), and the music is just fantastic, the gameplay rocks (the battle system is really speedy!). Just hold one button and it'll choose the battle command and scroll through all the boring messages in the battles, etc. No button mashing needed, in other words. Just hold that button and walk around to gain some levels. :wink:
Looking forward to #2.
AWESOME game. Get it now! I'm looking at you, Black_Tiger. :wink:

Made an unsuccessful and aggravating attempt at making a video to put on YouTube trying to finish off Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie (Super Famicom) from stage 4 and up. Stages 4 and 6 are the brick walls because it's one of those shooter stages with high speed scrolling and tight spaces and boss battles just drag on and on and on.

How come it's so much better than CD Denjin (Super Air Zonk)?
Air Zonk was made by the team that did Coryoon.
Super Air Zonk was probably made by some other group.
I'm guessing that neather was directly done by Red.

I think it is a good sign as all good SNK games have awful translations! The original Card Fighters had an awful translation as well, it was impossible to decipher any of the abilities of a card until you used them for the first time.

Not for real, but I used emulation as a training tool, using save states for the stages I've had the most trouble with, especially 4.
You should really pick this shooter up, got it for $50 from Carlson/16 bit. It's like R-Type, memorization is the key. This is also a total rip off of the Darius series, as it has that force field that can convert enemies to helpers.
It's a tough game cause it's practically easy to get caught off guard by enemies as they swoop in pretty damn fast from all angles. Again I also stress out that boss battles get kinda tiresome, the kind that after good long while of fighting, it makes you scream "DIE GODDAMMIT!!" at the TV screen and get a burst of relief just from watching it explode.
In fact here's someone else's vid of Macross Scrambled Valkyrie beaten in 60 seconds :p

Been playing SVC Chaos for my 16-bit Neo Geo AES system. This 16-bit game is great, but the last boss is really cheap. There is also some other cheap dude who keeps throwing tornadoes at you again and again. That's all he does! It is obviously an SNK character since Capcom characters are better and more balanced (and have more than 1 or 2 moves).
I also beat Fatal Fury 2 for my 16-bit Neo Geo AES. It pretty much sucks. The dual-layer thing is retarded. I couldn't even figure out how to switch layers, or even why I'd want to in the first place. The graphics are pretty bad in a lot of places.

1. You don't have to advertise that the Neo is 16-bit, because we all know that (although see number 2). Saying it over and over just makes you sound pretentious.
2. It's not even true that it's a 16-bit system. It's not a 24-bit system. The proper way to refer to it is to say "The Neo·Geo is a system with a 16-bit processor and an 8-bit processor".

My opinion of SVC Chaos is that is sucks complete donkey dick. I love the artwork and back-and-forth between characters before a battle, but my god, the game is almost as unbalanced as MvC 2.

That's s shame, Fatal Fury 2 (and Special which is just an improved remix of 2) is a very solid game if you can get past the graphics. Really nice game balance and everything. Of all the early SNK fighters it has stood the test of time the best.
I really want to play Kaboom! again but every set of Atari 2600 paddles that I have ever owned have broken the instant I have looked at them. Kaboom! is a truly awesome game, maybe even Activision's finest during an era where they made nothing but good games.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong! The proper way to refer to it is simply "Neo·Geo". If they don't understand, then that's when the beat down begins. Be sure to toss in a few "100 Mega Shocks" and "Giga Powers" while you're explaining the Neo·Geo with your fists.

I agree. I was shocked by 100 Megas in Fatal Fury 2. Didn't shock me quite as much as the 8 megas that were in the Genesis STrider, though. Seriously, that two-layered thing pisses me off. And it seems Fatal Fury's special moves are all backwards from Capcom games... on purpose! SvC Chaos definitely has better control than Fatal Fury 2. Hell the PC Engine ACD version has better control than the 16-bit Neo Geo version.

SvC probably has better controls, the earlier Neo fighters tend to be crusty mustard. But if you compare the original Fatal Fury with Fatal Fury 2, you'll notice a marked improvement!

Blood Gear.
I actually really, really like this one. The only thing I heard about was that it was somewhat like Exile, and I agree, but I'll say it's a much better game. Though the overhead exploration part isn't much more than formality and just advancing the story/buying upgrades (much like Exile), The action sequences are much more engaging. The parts & weapons you buy really make a difference in the game as well.
I'm genuinely enjoying the game so far. I'll write up a short mini-review once I'm done with the game.

Today (so far) I have played Batman Returns on my Sega CD. Hint: Go into the options and select DRIVING ONLY! The platform portion of this game is beyond pathetic. The scaling is better than what the Neo Geo could pull off, though. And it is still a bit too hard. Actually it is damn hard.

Hell the PC Engine ACD version has better control than the 16-bit Neo Geo version.
Fatal Fury 2/Special with their 16-bit graphics on the Turbo kick ass. I actually like the dual-layering: you can jump to one layer, then fly through the air to your opponent who's on the opposite layer and kick the living shit out of them. I've never played the Neo Geo version but I can't imagine it's much different.
Blood Gear is a better game, but Exile has it's own special charm.
I wonder why I've never heard of Blood Gear before this very moment. A quick glance at the PC Engine Catalog tells me I need to find a copy.
...I recently picked up a copy of Batman for our favorite console.
I actually really like this game. You know, I put off buying this for years and years because of mediocre reviews. I think most of those were based on the fact people were expecting a sidescroller.... and got Pac-Man Reincarnate instead. I'm kind of sorry I judged the book by it's cover for so long and neglected poor Batman. The music is great, graphics are really nice and the game is actually fun. The only tweak I would make is to chop a few stages from each level. 12 is really pushing it, 8-10 would've been understandable.
Why didn't Batman see a US release? Batman seems like so much more of an American franchise than a Japanese one to me. I'd say this one is a good candidate for a future USA Virtual Console title.

Post by: esteban on May 19, 2007, 04:22:46 AM
Joe, I like Batman Returns on SegaCD. I think it is definitely one of the stronger titles (that's not saying much, but still).
Then again, I always liked the Bayou Billy gameplay formula (yes, I liked Bayou Billy, even though some beat-em-up segments were tedious). If only Batman Returns had a light gun stage or three! Then I'd be in heaven. No, I'm not joking. But Batman Returns... I like it.
I'd say this one is a good candidate for a future USA Virtual Console title.
I agree, although Hudson should release it before the other Batman games (i.e. NES, Genny) are available.
Unfortunately, I worry that Hudson won't want to pay for the licensing fees that are bound to be associated with this title.
Also, I too have avoided this game and have only recently been swayed by folks who posted rave reviews here on these boards. The funny thing is that first folks were praising the music in the game... and then the discussion broadened to the game itself.

Dracula is a chump, plain and simple. Beat him on the second try. He's got to be the second-easiest boss in the game! I had been hung up on "Death" after the Clock Tower level for so long. I didn't play the game for months then popped it in last night. Beat Death, but I started falling asleep. This morning I took care of Dracula and that was that.
I only got 80-some percent though, and I beat all the possible levels. There must be someone I didn't rescue.

THIS GAME ROCKS!!
Aside from the horrible camera and the poor controls (it feels JUST like Kingdom Hearts, they probably borrowed that engine, really sad - it could've been fantastic if they just fixed those two flaws), this game is TONS of fun, and actually challenging! Well, the standard gameplay isn't THAT hard (although it isn't that easy either) but the bosses are a PAIN! It takes forever to beat them - IF you manage to do it, that is!
Story-wise... well, its the typical japanese crap story, it couldn't possibly get any more uninteresting than this, but the graphics are really pleasant and the music is great. I think this is the first game that's made me turn up the volume a lot when playing.
Great game!

I am playing the Japanese version of DJ Boy which has tons upon tons of racism in it (or so they say). Everyone enjoys racism, so it's no surprise that this is one of the best games ever made. I also just received Keio Yugekitai for the Saturn. I thought this was supposed to be a rare game. If it were, I think I'd have paid more than $60 or so for it (which was paid through cell phone rebate cards). But still it is a pretty damn fun game!

Isn't the only thing supposedly "racist" in DJ Boy the aunt Jamima boss on level 1 or 2? I played through the game years ago and was disappointed that she was the only thing even remotely offensive (and she's only offensive if you're a crybaby whiner with way too much time on your hands).
The pal version of Keoi is better because you can read the hilarious "tips" you unlock as you go through the game. Plus the voice acting is so f*cking bad it's awesome. Man that game rules.

DJ Boy... Fuzzy in my memory, but yeah, I do remember some big old black woman with stereotypical features. I don't remember much more than that. Is there cooler shit on the Japanese version?
As for Keio Flying Squadron, so I guess the PAL version runs on "full-speed" on NTSC machines? (as in, it WASN'T optimized for 50Hz screens?) I was thinking about trying out the PAL version of that game, but I wasn't sure how well it was going to work on NA systems.

Just recently, I decided to break out the PCE Duo and go back and beat some of the games that I never finished or finished just once. Anyway, just started playing Legendary Axe 2 after haven't not played it since hell... maybe 10 years now. Never did beat the game. It isn't that hard until you get to the last stage. What a crappy and annoying stage. So after a few hours, I get to the point where I can get thru the last stage w/o too much problem. Then of course there's the last boss. He just keeps beating the crap outta me even when I got 9 lifebar, 10 bombs and level 5 weapon.
After losing like 10 times to the boss, I finally worked up a decent technique against him. So... now just 5 minutes ago, I get to the last boss with again with full 9 life, 10 bombs and lvl 5 sword and I was sure I could put up a better fight. Half way into the fight, I saw that I did some major damage to the boss (started flashing red) and I only lost like 4 life and used maybe 2 or 3 bombs. Then the boss trapped me in the corner and I made a desperate attempt to run under his legs after I got hit. Only lost 1 life and scored more hits in the process.
After distancing myself from the boss, I prepared to jump back into the fight with my sword swinging and my bombs blazing! So, I run forward and jump in and................... . . . . . . . . .
the video signal goes dead!!!!! WTF! ](*,)
I immediately paused the game. Luckily I could still hear the sound so I knew the game wasn't reset or something like that. I spent a couple of minutes fiddling with the A/V cable on the Duo. Even tried a spare cable I had. No go! The video just wouldn't come back on! Well, seeing the total futility of trying to fix whatever happened, I accepted my fate. I'd have to turn off the game and hook up my spare PCE and fight again from the beginning. So what the hell, I figured I'd just unpause the game and fight to the bitter end, in complete darkness, before I turn off the Duo.
Unpausing the game was like being sentenced to death... because that's what it basically was. I had to have gotten hit a handful of times. Each time I thought it was the end. In the darkness i kept swinging and bombing. There was no chance survive make my time. :P I knew the end would be imminent, the boss had to have been on top of me by now. I had also ran out of bombs. Then, for whatever reason, I pressed jump and then attack over and over and suddenly...
BOOOOOOOM! The unusually loud fanfare of explosions was so.... was so.... deafening! I had killed the boss! I had won! I couldn't believe my ears! I had never been pissed about beating a game before! hahaha!
So after all that time playing, I beat the game, didn't get to see the ending, and got a possibly broken Duo to show for it. Something's just not right about that. :-({|=
Sorry for the long rambling.

Dude, that was a wonderfully entertaining story. Unfortunately, when reality sinks in, it is an incredibly disheartening story, because I know something crappy will happen like this to me one day. And when crap happens, it will be spectacularly bad, as you already know.
What a bittersweet way to beat LA2!

Samurai Shodown 4 I jsut spent some time with this evening.
Never saw much of this in the Arcades, plenty of 1 and 2.
I have to share my gaming on this today because I was finishing off an opponent, and during my last strike, the game does the slow-motion thing, all of a sudden blood sprayed from my opponent's chest and all over my character, hahaha, painted in blood winning the match.
I'm used to the blood fountain in this series, but this spray that paints part of my character with blood was special... hahaha.
I didn't replicate it throughout the rest of my playing time. I need to lookup what that button combination was....

I do not know way too much Japanese, but I do take playing import RPG's from a different approach, and I like other languages period. That's one way I learn and get real time experience past the "how-to books" is to just jump in it and not think so much about not getting the story and the fun being ruined. I may not learn on a conversational level, but I do familiarize myself with the two basic character tables (but the big ones with the fancy brushstrokes are still out of my league, I still have to throw coins in the dark if I have to deal with those)
While I've been playing *FAR EAST OF EDEN: UNFORTUNATELY KABUKI'S STORY* and putting those vids out on YouTube, I picked up a whole lot of new words especially from scenes with text and voice done at once and write them in a notebook.
I also use a program called "JWPCE" which also has a built in dictonary, and that really helps out in shopping for items and weapons.

Thanks for the support guys! Well, everything turned out ok after all. The next day I tried my spare machine and it didn't work either (sound was ok), so I knew something else was wrong. Turned out that the video capture box I've been using went flaky and I had all my stuff connected through that to the TV. Noticed it was fairly warm so I let it cool down a bit and the video started working again.
Then I hooked up the Duo and went back and beat LA2 and saw the ending this time! :)

I have never been able to beat that final level to even see the boss.

That would answer something I always wondered about the game, because I have a "copy" (ahem) of the PAL version of Keio for the Saturn which I got from a friend in the UK, and it works fine on my US Saturn. :P

FINALLY beat Okami a few weeks ago...52 freakin' hours. Well worth it -- I think every gamer should experience it, if you have a significant chunk of time you're willing to invest into it.
Right now I am playing:
Odin Sphere (PS2) - gorgeous and challenging. Now I wanna pick up Princess Crown, but as if it wasn't already pricey enough, I bet it's going to skyrocket as OS catches on.
Senko no Ronde (360) - Fun, unusual shooter/mech fighter by G.Rev, makers of Border Down. I refuse to refer to it by its American slave name of "Wartech" with its crap logo and crap cover art -- I think it's time to do another kustom package design! ;) (Either that, or find someone with the Japanese version who can send me a hi-res scan of the cover insert.) Beyond that though, it's a very Japanese game with its anime characters and subtitled voice acting and all, definitely an anomaly on the US 360 market. Gotta support the shmups!!
Taito Legends 2 (PS2) - You can't argue with getting 39 games for 20 bones, esp. when it contains Elevator Action Returns, the Saturn version of which goes for $40-50 used by itself. Plus G.Darius and RayStorm, which if you didn't have for the PS1 now's your chance, not to mention Majestic Twelve, KiKiKaiKai, Gekirindan...great collection, although there are some titles like Front Line and Qix which really should have been on the first volume. This one features mostly later '80s and '90s titles though, so you definitely get a ton of play time for the money!
And the last several games I picked up also included Virtua Quest, Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Inuyasha RPG, Capcom Fighting Evolution, Ar Tonelico (all PS2), Godzilla: Save the Earth (Xbox)...so I should be set for the summer :)

Damn, Taito Legends 2 is out? I need to pick that up, I sold off my Saturn Elevator Action Retures last year when I heard it was coming over here.
God Hand- Awesome, awesome game. I miss Clover already, the only 2 games they did are 2 of my all time favorite PS2 games.
Shining Force EXA- Pretty fun as a Diablo style game, although the story sucks and you don't get new helper characters fast enough. I also wish you could change your helper's equipment instead of just setting their play style.

I don't have any channels on my Wii nor the ability to have them. The LAN adapter which lets me use the awesome and futuristic technology off the mystical ethernet cable should be arriving direct from Nintendo in the next week or so (they are slow because they are Nintendo... 3.58Mhz LOL).

Despite some jerky parallax in places, this was a great game. Graphics (aside from said shakiness) were very colorful and quite beautiful in places. I don't even need to comment on the music.
Now I'm on the fence whether to go the Ys I & II route or continue on to IV. This was a series I always skipped over when I was younger, but now that I have all four titles...

Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Joe Redifer on May 31, 2007, 06:24:11 PM
Nobody bought tickets before I began playing, so I had to play for an audience of one... ME! Fortunately I let myself in for a discount. Anyway here is the transcript of what occurred, as all of the games played are new to my collection:
The Terminator - Sega Genesis - I started playing this and all I could do is throw grenades. WTF? About a thousand Terminators destroyed me quickly. I tried again. Ah! I can get a gun! This helped. And I died soon thereafter. I look in the manual and it says something to the effect of "You might want to play it on easy in order to get past the first level". Seriously... it really says that! So I put it on easy and tried a third time. Made it a bit further but still didn't get past the first level. "EASY" on this game is what "XtReMe" is on most other games. I will search for a Game Genie code.
Lethal Enforcers II - Gun Fighters - Sega CD - A very grainy Konami game which really doesn't use much of the Genesis' palette. But it's kind of fun. I have the version which actually comes with a box and instructions since I already had the Justifier to use with Snatcher. Playing with the control pad or joystick is about 90 times easier than the Justifier. For one you can rapidly reload and fire at the same time just by hammering down as fast as you can on the A and C buttons. Use a rapid fire stick and you don't even need to apply any effort whatsoever! Effort is for losers. The Justifier only lets you shoot 6 times before requiring you to reload by shooting off-screen. this sucks during boss battles when they are throwing tons of shit at you. Also the gun isn't very accurate. The Sega Light Phaser for the SMS is far more accurate. But then again Sega is better than Konami.
Shanghai - Sega Master System - This game is pretty cool and the music is great, though you have to shut it off eventually if you value your sanity. But the game is fun and very tough. If it weren't for those damn foreign characters, it would be easy. Damn foreigners. How dare they not use English!
Ghostbusters - Sega Master System - This game is tough, but it is the best version of the Activision-designed Ghostbusters game evar! It was the 3rd videogame I had ever purchased in my entire life (right after Space Harrier and Choplifter for the SMS which I bought along with the system itself), and I hated it at the time. I kept whining and bitching to take it back, but by the time my mom actually agreed I started to get the hang of it and even like it somewhat. I didn't tell her that because that would have negated my earlier whining and would have also made any future whining less effective (and I had lots of plans), so I too it back and exchanged it for something else. It's gonna take the same amount of time to get the hang of again, I'm afraid. The Genesis version is still the best Ghostbusters game in existence.
Gale Racer - Sega Saturn - Also known as Rad Mobile, this is a very arcade-style racer. The graphics consist basically of scaling logs. Sega rules. What other company would ever think to scale f*cking logs? Also this game has tr00 transparencies!!!!!!!! Anyway this game gets a bad rap, but it really isn't too bad. I think most people expect Daytona or some game filled with polygons. We here on PCEngineFX hate polygons, though. So Gale Racer is king. I would rather they had called it Rad Mobile, though... far more cheesy!
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Keranu on May 31, 2007, 07:18:36 PM
Joe I was interested in buying a ticket, but you never gave me your Pay Pal address to purchase one!
That Terminator game sucks, but the graphics are cool.
Lethal Enforcers II - I think I've only played the Genesis one, which is ok, but I haven't passed the first level because I like to kill too many innocents. There is a special name the game gives me when I fail the level, but I can't remember! (No it wasn't LOSER!)
Shanghai - I've always enjoyed these games ever since I was a kid and would play them on Windows 3.1! I don't think I've played the SMS version, but it probably plays just as well as the others.
Ghostbusters - Fun, unique underrated game!
Gale Racer - I've only played this on MAME very quickly once or twice, under the much superior name "Rad Mobile", and it had neat graphics and a cool Sonic keychain thing, but I don't remember much else ab00t it :( . This game was also featured in the movie Encino Man!

I'd kind of have to agree with 'Dane on this one, but I wouldn't call it mediocre. I'm playing the game for the first time in over a decade and while it's lost none of it's luster and I love the game, at face value I remember Ys 4 being better. I'll fire that up next to give an honest evaluation. I may try to english text patch thing. However, Ys 1&2 is a must play for any Turbo enthusiast and any 'gamer' who dabbles in anything beyond the brain cell lemmings of Sports games, MMORPGKLJOPIJ:SDF, and First person shootaz.
One thing I'd like to point out is how wonderfully matched the music of Ys 1&2 is to the game. Throughout the game the music appropriately conveys the mood and the anxiety level of the game. Although the solomon shrine song gets a little repetative and the goddess in the title screen needs to hold the Cleria stone above her head, dammit.

If you had a side-to-side comparison, Ys IV is certainly a better game. But only marginally, IMO. Ys IV didn't really provide anything new for its time, whereas I-II blew away a lot of people with its music, cut-scenes, etc.

Post by: nat on June 01, 2007, 04:38:53 PM
I'm already extremely frustrated in the shrine in Ys I.
I'm only able to play in small doses thus far-- I can't open a single treasure chest that I find, and the enemies dwelling there all seem significantly stronger than me as to kill me in like two or three hits. What's worse is they respawn as soon as the edge of the screen moves to where they initially appeared, sometimes before I'm even out of sight.
The whole thing is a big frickin' maze and I keep finding new places to go, but that's it. Last go I had I got to some part where it said some nonsense about a statue's eyes glowing when I got close. Whoop-tee-doo!!
I'm guessing there must be some key somewhere I need to find in order to open the chests but I'm coming up blank so far. I'll give it another shot later tonight.

Babel, an PCE RPG with modern weapons and vehicles in exchange for fantasy/sci-fi themes.
Holy cow, this has been the most import-unfriendly J-RPG I've played in quite some time since I started my J-RPG binge. Lots and lots of dialogs between characters to advance the storyline, and just searching for the right character to talk to can take quite a bit of time -- even when you know where you're supposed to go (this capital city I'm in right now is damn huge - about 4-5 sections, and each one is like a normal, full-blown town in other RPGs).
Review to come once I'm finished - though I think it'll be awhile till I finish this one due to some upcoming things on my schedule.

Ys I - Got quite a bit farther... found my groove tonight. Good game, although definitely feels dated. I guess I can say that because I have no nostalgic bias.

Currently playing Halo 2 Vista. Which I illegally downloaded (of course - it's a shit port of an ancient game that costs $5). I had to illegally download and pirate Windows Vista to get it to run as well. And man, Vista f*cking sucks. It's a horrible OS. Easily the worst since Mac OS 9... actually, it's even worse than that one, and that's saying a lot. It renders a three-f*cking-year-old game unplayable on a modern computer. That's just insane. I can play high end games like Oblivion just fine, but old junk like Halo 2? Practically unplayable. f*ck Vista. I'm never going to use it for real. XP forever.
XP forever...
MAN I can't get over the fact that Vista sucks so much! While idle, XP uses up about 1% of your CPU power, whereas Vista takes AT LEAST 25%. It also eats up 500 MB of RAM for nothing, and it's slow. REALLY slow. Forget Aero, I'm using the old Windows 95 interface, and it's STILL slow!
Oh right, I had to install some weird drivers for my sound card as well, because Creative (a crap company) doesn't make drivers for their Sound Blaster cards anymore. They make cards, but that's it. Drivers? Screw that. So needless to say, the sound is messed up in the game. Why did they even make Vista? Why render EVERYTHING incompatible? I just don't understand Micro-penis-soft. I f*cking hate them so much.

My comment is full of half-truths and sarcasm, but the message behind it is genuine. Not that the hardware ultimately makes a big a difference in my comparison-- it's just that Windows is simply a bloated piece of crap. It needs a complete rewrite from the ground up, like, now. Is Vista finally a rewrite or a further bloating of the same framework that's been in use for 15+ years? I stopped paying attention after Windows XP was released.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Necromancer on June 08, 2007, 07:46:30 PM
Vista's further bloating because MS stubbornly won't abandon legacy hardware or remove the crazy amount of customization settings. Windows bloat isn't only attributable to sloppy coding, not that there isn't plenty of that as well, but also to the number of options and settings that 95% of users will never touch. I'm not a Mac hater (yeah I am, but I hate everything equally), but I always cringe when Mac humpers (which I don't consider you to be nat) bitch about copy cat Windows. MS and Apple have been copying each other for years, so don't saddle up the high horse just yet Mac lovers. Many of Leopard's new features (resolution independence, time machine, spaces, and boot camp) are improvements of current Windows features.

I agree with you, nearly 100%. I'd say 85% agreement, only because I don't hate everything. :wink:
Today, in 2007, I love my Mac. I believe OS X to be the superior OS right now. Actually, I have ever since it was released. My problem with Windows has nothing to do with feature copying, the superior lame-o-factor of Micro-penis-soft, or Bill Gates's astonishingly bad haircut. It's the aforementioned bloat, useless features, and Micro-penis's refusal to drop "legacy" (read: 20 year old hardware) support that gets me going.
Believe it or not, this wasn't always the case-- I used Windows almost exclusively in the 90's. The only Apple hardware I owned in the 90's was the Macintosh Plus my family purchased new in 1988. I believe the classic Mac OS to be inferior of it's Windows contemporaries for EXACTLY the same reason I believe Windows is inferior today. By the time MacOS 9 rolled around, the OS was suffering from the same problems: layers upon layers of new features and settings on top of a 15 year-old framework. But Apple wised up and rewrote their OS on top of a Debian framework (NExT?), thanks largely to Steve Jobs.
As for hardware, there is a fine line anymore between Apples and generic PCs, what with the switch to Intel and all. I think this was an excellent move on Apple's part. This opens all sorts of doors for Apple to expand it's user base.
But until I see a rewritten Windows on the table, I'm going to remain happily on the Apple side of the fence (although I won't be humping any).

The GameCube has one of the best controllers of all time. Don't ask me why I think this, but it just kind of dawned on me yesterday. It's extremely comfortable, and there is something very natural about the placement of all the controls.

It is very comfortable to hold, but not necessarily to play. It is fairly good for 3d games, but I just can't get used to the AB/XY button setup. I NEVER press the correct buttons, which makes games like Mario Party a real nightmare sometimes (especially when you play it with friends- and lose- because you pressed the wrong buttons repeatedly). Playing 2d games is impossible, fortunately there aren't many on the Gamecube.

Mario Party f*cking rules (don't listen to Kitsunexus and Turbo D). Although they didn't need to come out with quite so many sequels.
You really think the 2D games are hard to play? I rather like the D-pad on that controller. I've got quite a few retro collections with 2D games (MegaMan, MegaMan X, Sonic, etc) and I think they play fine. The one conceit I will make about the standard controller is that it's too small for me. I have to use the slightly larger MadCatz one. Interestingly, MadCatz also makes a controller that is slightly smaller than the standard, which is hard for me to fathom.

Der Langrisser/Lungrissier/Langrisser II/Warsong 2/whatever - These games have a different name on every console they get released on! I picked up this game a while back for my PC-FX. I finally got around to sitting down with it today. This game is the sequel to Warsong on the Genesis ("Langrisser" on the Turbo/PCE). What an awesome game! Highly recommended to anyone who likes turn-based strategy RPG-type games. Actually, I didn't know that I did until I started playing this. At the start you are put through a questionnaire that builds your character based on your answers. Once your main character is built, you get a chance to build armies and equip them using points/credits. You start out with a certain number of "points" and then earn more as you progress through the game. The game is played out through "scenarios" that have certain goals you must reach in order to proceed onward-- usually these involve killing armies of bad guys. Like I mentioned earlier, the game is turn-based and there is some strategy involved in effectively placing your military each turn. After successfully completing a scenario you are treated to a full-screen FMV anime cutscene of the highest quality that segues into the next scenario. Music is top-notch, reminding me in places of Sapphire. For those who don't own a PC-FX, I strongly suggest you buy one. Actually, for those who don't have one, this game also is available on the Playstation, Saturn and Super Famicom. Although it's a given the SFC version is lacking the redbook audio and FMV cutscenes, and graphics are likely inferior.
I've never played the original Warsong, but I'm now thinking about finding a copy of the Turbo CD version.
One thing to note: the game menus are Japanese-heavy, as is the character-building questionnaire, so I imagine the game would be virtually unplayable to someone who can't read Japanese or without a walkthrough/FAQ.

Warsong / Langrisser is awesome. Once you figure out the menu/magic and stat systems, I think someone without too much Japanese knowledge can get through it. Japanese would also come in in handy knowing what class you want your characters to become as they're promoted, but just a quick glance at any faqs flowing around will mitigate this problem.
I only played the original and the first sequel, and to this day, they are probably the most fun I had with strategy games.

I was actually sitting here trying to counter that, and really I can't. CT just has so much AWESOME in it. I think it's just the fact that the settings and overall plot are cool, the battle system is cool (although arguably not as cool as Tales Of Phantasia) and the graphics and music were better than ANY of the SNES Final Fantasy games could hope to be. The storyline is the only RPG storyline to ever enthrall me enough to complete it.
I'd say (since I'm not a big fan of Seiken Densetsu 3, never had time to play it) that Secret Of Mana is really the ONLY thing that comes close to Chrono Trigger.
You know what the biggest JOKE RPG, the most piece of shit RPG I would NEVER pay money for is? Well there's a lot of them, but on the SNES, it's Secret Of Evermore. It's just the smugness that gets me really, they think the cheapass humor is SO clever... ¬_¬ Jeremy Soule WASTED his time.

I just wish that completing it opened up an extra hard difficulty mode or something. The low-challenge made me replay it for a much shorter time than other RPGs back then.

So Chrono Trigger is easy? I axed my friend "Can a nigga borrow Chrono Trigga?" and he said yes, so I'll soon be playing it. I expect it to live up to ALL of the hype you internet people have been giving it. If I see any flaws, any at all, I will shove them in your face.

You'll have a lot more fun with low expectations. Its got a lot of good qualities, but its far from a perfect game all round. I think that if it looked and sounded like Secret of the Stars, it wouldn't be the legend it is to so many people.
I don't think its really necessary to pit RPGs against one another like people do with other genres. As long as you enjoy RPGs, I think all decent ones are fun.

I just wish that completing it opened up an extra hard difficulty mode or something. The low-challenge made me replay it for a much shorter time than other RPGs back then.

What Battle-System mode are you using? The Real-time is slightly more challenging. Plus, have you gotten all the endings? There's like 10 or so of the f*ckers, that's what the New Game+ is for. It's a bitch getting all the endings (A task I have not accomplished). And I'm not a fan of difficulty unless it's a fighting game, FPS, or SHMUP. I feel that CT's difficulty is spot on for the game it is.
I LOVE THAT! ^.^ And don't worry, it is COMPLETELY worth the praise; Snerds NEVER lie.

I agree with Kit, I think the difficulty level in CT is perfect. Bosses are usually hard, and there's always a tactic needed, you can't just choose attack, attack, attack. Pretty much the only flaw I can think of are the graphics. Yes, I don't think the game looks particularly good. I've never been a fan of Square's SNES graphics (they used the same style in nearly all of their SNES games), but they are all right of course, and technically rather impressive, but I find them boring. The game controls are also very clunky, just like in the Mana games.
But who cares about those things, the game rocks!!

As for Chrono Trigger. Playtime: 28 hours. Finished a couple of side quests. Hopefully there are more left. After that.... final battle. :cry:

Glad to see an appreciation for classic JRPGs here... I've played and completed Final Fantasy III (DS), Final Fantasy VII (PSP), Final Fantasy VI (DS) and Final Fantasy VIII (PSP) since March, but I'm feeling I need a little bit of a break now... As a father of 2 teenagers I don't have a lot of "at home" gaming time, so I have to play my RPGs during the commute to and from work and whenever I can steal a few minutes here and there - that's why I'm on my PSP and DS so much... anyway, I just finished off FFVIII last Thursday, and I'm still in the glow :mrgreen: That's a great game, once you get past the second disc... I'll probably load FFIX on the PSP this weekend or next, but I don't know that I'll start into it seriously for a while - I'm enjoying my Turbo Express too much lately and don't want to give up game time to another RPG at the moment...

Super Monkey Ball 2 rocks so hard! It's games like these that make me swear allegiance to the Cube. I love the bright-and-colorful lastgen look the game has, and the MUSIC is not only great and catchy, but I LOVE the synth quality! (All those Moog leads... =P~)
And of course the game play is addictive, and after I used the Pro Action Replay to give me 6799999 points, I bought every party game and I am having a BLAST!!
More games need to be like this. Down with the dark, gory, cliched and contrived FPS games! BRING ON THE FUN! ^.^

Super Monkey Ball 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games ever... and ONLY on the Gamecube. The PS2 and Xbox versions break the control, though at least on the Xbox the SMB1 stages are in 16:9 480p. Anway, I love part 2, but I prefer part 1 over it by quite a bit. No switches or toggles or warps. Plus I can walk through the hardest setting without much of a problem (though I still have tons of fun). The music in both is great!
I agree with your last sentence wholeheartedly!

I was just thinking about a segaCD game I used to have called Sewer Shark. You probably never heard of it, anyway, the main idea of gameplay wasn't bad, it combined action shooting with random turns you had to remember (it was like a game of electronic Simon combined with an arcade shooter). But what made the game suck horribly was 1) the music, very catchy but above all annoying because it constantly repeats, 2) the dude that I guess is supposed to be my captain even though I'm flying the vehicle thing, during the entire time you play this game you have some idiot yelling at you and calling you names and shit while you're playing. That is the worse thing a game maker could ever put in a game, makes you feel like you want to open the cockpit door and throw the bastard out but you can't because it's a video game. Corpse Killer was the only real decent game on the segaCD.

Haven't had much time to play lately... I have a feeling that I will clear my backlog of games once I retire in 20+ years. :P
However, my curiosity did get the better of me and I picked up a Game Wave (http://playgamewave.com/). Apparently TRU in the US was selling the the System off for 19.99$ earlier this year, while here in Canada TRU are selling them for 49.99$ CDN. The games and 2 pack of remotes at TRU are half-price 14.99$ CDN. At the 49.99$, it's not bad. If you can pick it up for 19.99$ I would recommend it unless you're short on space. (Err, not sure if I would pay the full 99$ price however.) The system comes with four remotes, batteries, RCA cables, SVideo cable, and a trivia game.
Anyway, the site has more information, videos of all of the games, etc..
I got the system yesterday so I tried the games: -4 degrees trivia games (Volumes 1 and 2): Not bad for a trivia game. Reminds me a bit of scene-it, except you don't need a game board and everyone plays at the same time. :P
-Zap 21: it's blackjack. :P There are two modes, but we only played the regular blackjack. :P
-Lock 5: Take Yatzee. Replace the dice with a slot machine with 5 slots. Throw in a "wild" and a "worthless" in the mix of possible values (along with 1-6) . Everyone works off the the same numbers in the slot machine. People can lock the slots they want to keep. After each round (3 rolls of the slot machine) the players choose from the scoreboard what points to put their sets of numbers to. Since everyone is playing off of the same set of rolls, people could theoretically copy each other. The game tries to prevent this by randomly selecting a possible combination on each player's scorecard for bonus points for the first 5 rounds. (I.E. Player 1 could get +10 if they do 3 of a kind, another player could get +10 for the "set of 5"s, etc.) The bonus changes each round.
-Letter Zap: Bookworm (except you can also select letters that are joined diagonally). Two modes: In the first mode, each player has their own (different) 4x4 grid (each round ends when a player gets to 10 words or when the timer runs out). In the 2nd mode everyone shares a large grid, once a letter is used it gets changed. It's more competitive as more then one player can try and use the same letter, but the first player to complete their word will be able to use the letter.
-Gemz: (Bejewelled) There are two modes again. I think the first one is plain single player bejewelled? The 2nd mode is 4 player bejewelled. The twist: each player is given the jewel they need to score against. After they score, they are given another jewel to score against. If there is no possible way of scoring, the player can wait or change jewels which costs 50 points.
-Click: (Wheel of Fortune?) You are given a category and a puzzle to solve at the beginning of each round. Then you either pick a letter (consonant), or "channel surf". If you pick a letter that is in the phrase, you get 300 points per letter and given the option to solve the puzzle before play moves onto the next player. If you pick a letter that is not in the phrase, play moves onto the next player. Channel surfing is like the "Chance" cards in monopoly, you can get something good or bad happen. You can get points, lose points, lose a turn, get a visual or audible clue, etc. If a player knows the phrase but it isn't their turn, they can "click" in. This will allow them to jump in after the current's player turn and attempt to answer the puzzle. Answering is done by having the player say the phrase out loud and then having everyone else confirm that the player guessed correctly. If the player guessed right, he gets points, if wrongly, he looses points.
*Phiew*
All in all, not bad. Again, I might not recommend it for full price, but under 49.99$ it's not bad. The bulk of the games are geared towards the board game market and we'll probably take it out when we have some friends over (and they're all Wii'ed out). The games themselves are programmed in Lua with most animations being mpg files (playable in mplayer). I tried to play one of the games on my computer using a Lua environement, but it appears that they customized their Lua compiler. Hmm... It might be interesting to hack and see just how much this thing could do... :P
With all that said, next gaming session will get devoted to my SGx. :P

Joe,
Seems your skills need work. Away from opponent is block, and you have to block either high or low.
If you have an MVS, knock down the difficulty from 4 to 3. Takes a bit of the edge off.
I have my difficulties at times with that series. Especially with low to the ground/crouching opponents.
As with most other games, there is a learning curve, patterns to remember, etc.
Have fun!

Post by: Joe Redifer on June 16, 2007, 07:49:30 AM
How do I block low or high? It seems that every time I attack an opponent I get attacked in return (instead of causing damage). Still haven't been past the 2nd match. SNK fighters = cheap. Might be great in 2 player mode, but SNK hates single players. No wonder they went out of business... their games just weren't good enough (they'd still be in business if they were). Also the AES version lets you adjust difficulty, but won't people laugh at me if I lower the difficulty? I thought doing that was taboo and asian people would come and beat me up.
Also, almost all of the music sounds the same.

I never really got into the SS series. I always thought most people were more into that series for it's art rather than gameplay as I haven't found the gameplay to feel smooth or much fun. I think the games look really pretty too, but thankfully there is Last Blade which combines beautiful aesthetics with awesome gameplay :D .

Me thinks you need partice on it more.
Heck it's all a matter of timing on, SS2 this isn't a fighter where you rush into it blindly.
Once you get down to reading.. the opponents moves to counter it isn't that hard at all.
I can get all the way to end on SS2, but what realy makes it a cheap fighter.. is fighting Mizuki at the end :P
Still i like how the SS series plays not just the art style itself either.

SS2 isn't terribly hard once you get used to the controls and strategies, but it'll wipe the walls with your ass until you do. While you're learning the game, knock that difficulty level all the way down to 1. Even on 1, it's still a challenge, the AI is a bit too rigid. But don't worry, SS3 is even worse, as is SS5. SS2 is the second easiest game in the SS series, only SS4 is easier. If you really want to kick ass in SS2, use Haohmaru, Genjuro, or Gen-an. If you want to be a cheapass mofo, go for Cham Cham or Charlotte. The ninjas are pretty crap in this version though (Galford and Hanzo). A good newbie strategy is to rely more on light and mid hits than trying the heavy hits. Also, jump attacks are often pretty useful as long as you get the move off quick enough. Air attacks are especially useful against Earthquake as long as you hit deep-in, otherwise he really likes to quick-counter faster than you can say "My blood boils for battle".
And yes...most of the music sucks ass.

When I bought a Neo-Geo CDZ, the seller included Samurai Shodown 3 with it. Good god, that game is hard. King of Fighters '94 was tough, too, but at least I was able to make some progress eventually (even if it was on the easiest setting). SS3, I just never quite "got." Even when I sat down and forced myself to learn all the moves for at least one character, I was still getting my butt kicked. I don't think I ever won more than a couple matches.
I still have no idea what I was doing wrong. Needless to say, it doesn't get much playtime. Sure is pretty, though...

Hey Joe, if you thought the AI on SS2 was something, then you won't be able to handle Mizuki. She got this attack she throws a glowing ball that's tough to dodge and I believe you can't block it either. You're bouncing around like a pinball, every time you hit the wall is quite a bit of damage. Not only it shatters your weapon, but it also reverses the controls.

Post by: Joe Redifer on June 17, 2007, 04:14:33 AM
Thanks for the info guys. You'd think that as an arcade game it would be more approachable to those who have never played it before (as arcade games are supposed to be, but SNK doesn't count as "real arcade"). Also I was able to play as Mizuki and I could easily throw the glowing ball, and just about every opponent could easily block it by just standing there. No need to dodge. Just block. I did not like Mizuki because sometimes I lose control of her when she decides to strike a pose. But if she is seriously that cheap when you play against her, then my statement is correct when I say the game has bad design.
PS - I have no idea which character I am picking because it doesn't list their names on the character select screen. So when you say "Use Genguro" or the like, I say "WTF?"

Try part 4 instead, it's WAY better than 2. The thing about Samurai showdown is never bother with the two less powerful attacks, always use the strongest attack which is done by hitting B&C (or A&B, it's been years) together. That always takes like 1/3 of the other guy's life off if you connect. Also, don't get fancy with special moves and shit if you don't have to, if you get an opening just hit them with a strong attack instead of a special move since that B&C move takes off more health than any special attack in the game.

But the SNK community insists that SS2 is one of the best fighting games on the system. That and it's cheap were the reasons I chose it. I guess SNK fans just like crap. It would explain a lot. The game just isn't fun to play. I plugged in some SvC Chaos and was relieved to play a game that was actually playable! YES, a playable fighter on the Neo Geo. Who woulda thought? Still has the chunky gradients that most Neo Geo games do, though. The Neo Geo cannot do smooth gradients. Not enough colors.

Played today
DS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney - I'm on the final case now, it's getting kinda old by now. Still, an aaaawesome game!
GG *Phantasy Star Adventure - This game seems very interesting, but is flawed in a couple of ways. I will try to complete it though. I like it. *Sylvan Tale - Seems really promising. I haven't played it much but I like everything so far. *Madoh monogatari 1- Ugh.
PC *Flatout 2 - Still tons of fun. *Ys The Oath in Felghana - I wish I could enjoy this, but it is impossible. Ugh again.
Mostly this has been one of those days when everything you attempt to play sucks, which is exceptionally bad timing, as this is one boring day. Bad weather, nothing to do, everybody's gone...bla bla. I hate sundays. :)

I only ever intended to have about 15 games for it. The AES was cheap as hell, cheaper than an MVS. And I've never seen an MVS with a standard 8-pin DIN RGB output. Plus it takes up a lot less space than an MVS from what I've seen, and looks prettier. Prettier is what matters. My friends would beat me up if they saw something ugly at my house like an MVS or a Jaguar. Now be quiet and buy me KoF 98 AES for my birthday. It's July 23rd.

My MVS only costed like $70 and the cool thing is you can design your own case for it however you want! I don't have a case for mine yet, but my MVS is pretty small, smaller than an AES for sure. It can be more space consuming, yeah, but that's video games for 'ya and it sure as hell beats the price for AES games. I'll buy you KoF'95 for Gameboy on your birthday :) .

I'm sorry Joe,maybe its just that you suck horribly at fighting games,or most that are not made by Capcom. You bitch all the time about how hard fighters are,esp the SNK ones,and rant how much SNK sucks this and that,but all this makes you look like a f*ckin poser with your AES and the few carts you have. Like you own one just to say you do. SNK is notorious for making hard games,that is just how it is,and how it always has been. You sound worse then the Angry Nintendo Nerd. I agree,alot of SNK fighters are hard,but I mean,they are for people who like a challenge.
And for all your ungodly complaining,it sounds like you really should avoid the Neo system all together,and most fighting games in general unless they have Capcom on them and were made pre-CPS3. You want easy? Go play Fatty Bear on 3DO or some other basic game like Mortal Kombat 1 on your Genesis or simply just stick to your old Capcom ports.
Also,alot of people who complain about fighting games being too hard,typically they are people who don't generally play them anyway. Does not mean the games suck,just means the person trying to play them sucks at them horribly. This may just not be the type of game you should be playing Joe. Maybe you are meant to stick with puzzle,action,and golf games and the RPGS you usually play.

I also agree with the Neo forums members who feel Samurai Showdown 2 is one of the best fighters ever made. It pretty much is. There is stuff in it that was not done well anywhere else. The graphics were solid,audio great,control was spot on,and it was a challenge as you learned to play it and there was tons to learn.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Keranu on June 17, 2007, 12:21:15 PM
Well the thing is is that arcade fighting games are mostly designed for two players versuing each other in mind, so most of the focus is spent on designing the gameplay for two players rather than focusing on a single player mode. Have fun going to an arcade trying to beat some fighting game when people keep joining in to fight you instead because that's just the way the ball rolls.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Joe Redifer on June 17, 2007, 12:48:54 PM
Sounds like I made the NeoGeo fanboy weep. Good, that's what I was going for. Anyway I'm pretty damn good at most fighting games as I said before. It's just that SNK doesn't seem to make them very well (although I certainly haven't played them all). The controls are shit. Maybe it is because I am playing with an SNK-made CDZ pad (or whatever it is). Maybe I should try it with the gigantic NeoGeo joystick. But still, the single player game is not very forgiving with the controls. Like I also said, the game would probably be great with two players, but I don't have other game players that live with me, so I must play single player most of the time. And the reason I trash the Neo Geo so much is because people like you, Michael, hype it up as being greater than the second coming of Christ and when it doesn't live up to your lofty praises, I am left quite disappointed. To you, the NeoGeo can do no wrong, and when I see fanboys like you I become sickened. I do it for ANY system where somebody praises the hell out of it. Look around and I think you'll always find that I'm almost always the devil's advocate. I like games that are actually enjoyable to play, and I enjoy playing my NeoGeo, I even enjoy SvC Chaos a great deal (except Geonutz). I like KoF because I have 95-97 on my Saturn, but I don't like how they have to load each character so I rarely play them. Fatal Fury 2 is actually really good in 2 player despite not having a VS mode of any kind. I assume the same goes for Samurai Shodown. But is it too much to ask for a game to be fun during single player? I'm not the kind of guy who goes around congratulating myself because I beat a hard game. The first thing you did when you saw me complain about the difficulty is tell me how you can beat it with only a few credits on level 4. Good for you, twinkletoes. Can I get your autograph? I hope my lack of tr00 skill makes you feel better about yourself. I imagine tr00 NeoGeo owners go around and say things like "It's a NeoGeo thing, you wouldn't understand". It's a clique. They want to think of themselves as "different" and perhaps "better".
Also I don't play puzzle games (I truly suck ass at them), and I have no clue what RPGS even is. Do you mean RPG? I rarely play them. And Mortal Kombat 1 (and 2 and 3 and 4 and whatever) all suck ass. Capcom fighters are generally pretty good, except for JoJo, I didn't like that one at all. And I don't like the Marvel games too much (though X-Men vs Street Fighter is one of my favs).
Keranu, only homeless people can't afford the AES. MVS is the poor-man's NeoGeo. I don't want to build my own case. I hate woodworking. Plus your joystick is bigger than my entire table.

. And no weeping is done here by me,you the only one who keeps crying and bitching about how hard,unplayable the stuff is. Im the one enjoying it all. I did not realize you are using a NeoCD pad. Those really do suck ass. If I had one of those I prob would be crying too. You should prob have a custom 4 button stick made for your AES,or pick up one of the normal ones. They really are not that big at all. I don't think the Neo is sooo special that no one can understand or like it. i don't spend 24/7 on the Neo forums. Its just a really good game system that happens to handle most of what I liked to play really well. It should be no surprise to you by now that most of what I play is arcade games in general and fighters.
As far as MVS being the poor mans Neo,the hardware after buying a SG or consolizing it cost more then a AES,the when using a encoder the video quality is way better then the video out on a AES unless you mod it. You get a way way better selection of games to choose from at easier to afford prices,the carts are built better,with actual screws holding them together instead of a few plastic tabs and alot of false hope. Plus if you can get full kits you get alot of nice artwork,stickers,ect.
I would also hype the 3DO and Saturn up more around here,but I tend to feel like I should only discuss 8-16 bit stuff around here. To me the 3DO and Saturn are both on par with the Neo,Pc-Engine and X68000.

Michael, I'll try SS2 with the Neo joystick. However I am not a huge fan of joysticks. Is there an adapter that would let me use my Saturn pad on the NG? Also Keranu indicated his MVS cost less than an AES. I don't know which one of you to argue with. This is a trap, isn't it?!
Capcom is making a high definition version of Street Fighter 2 Turbo (or thereabouts). The HD drawn sprites look amazing. I hope it animates and plays as well as it looks.

Without the supergun stuff, yeah my MVS was less than the usual AES price. However there are many different types of MVS hardware out there with some costing more than others and sometimes you can just get a good deal like me. I think in the end the hardware price isn't much of a difference, so it's the software pricing that really makes the big deal.

I know there is a Playstation to Neo adapter. Yea,if you already have a Supergun,a MVS can be had for around $40-100 depending on what model you want. This is before you do any altering or get a Supergun. Consolizing it brings the cost up,and will depend on how much you spend on parts. Really,if you are not comfortable with arcade sticks it will take some time getting use to it.

You're bouncing around like a pinball, every time you hit the wall is quite a bit of damage. Not only it shatters your weapon, but it also reverses the controls.
Actually, that's not completely correct. Those are two separate attacks. The black glowing ball is her devastating weaponbreaker attack (and you're right, it's unblockable), the control scramble is a different attack altogether. And let's not forget about her transform attack and her floorgrab attack...not to mention her overwhelmingly cheap regular hits. :) And that stupid dog she has...grr. But she's definitely beatable once you learn her patterns. You can get off a couple of heavy hits in the opening moments most of the time, then she generally goes for normal hits or that stupid control scramble move (and usually teleports right afterwards to confuse you so you usually get hit by it unless you jump over it). When she starts getting desperate, she'll rush in fast for a throw, or try her floorgrab move (this is easy to see coming, so you can either block it or jump over it). She uses the weaponbreaker move rather rarely but when she does, she's a real bitch about it. I've found that low medium strikes hit rather frequently, she doesn't appear to guard low as much as she guards high.

OK I tried the stick. I like how easy it is to press buttons simultaneously, but the entire thing has a very cheap feel to it. In fact I put a huge crack that runs along the top of the entire thing just from mashing the buttons hard (due to me feeling that the control was unresponsive). Did SNK contract out the manufacturing of these sticks to Fisher Price? I am now 100% confident that SS2 has little if any merit in 1 player mode. I would like to blow it up and put it on Youtube, but it may be worth keeping for the two-player mode. Not sure yet, but there is no way a human opponent can gain more skill the more his life bar goes down. Also, for some reason I often lose control of my character while they do some weird pose (not stunned). It is at that time my ass gets beaten. Is there a way to turn off the poses?

Take a pic of your cracked stick. I really wanna see that. I have never in my life been able to bust one of the AES sticks,and one of my AES systems I got back in 98 was from a rental shop in a bad part of town. It had seen heavy play on its stick,lots of beating and pounding,and it did not get cracked or break. The only thing I had to fix was the cord. The ball on the stick,those get internal cracks all the time. Thats normal,but the actual body of the AES stick,that shouldn't crack unless you purposefully do so with something like a hammer.

That would be the POW charge pose (not sure what it's "really" called) and you're not the first person to complain about it. I believe they removed this little "feature" in later SS games for that very reason. As if we couldn't tell from the flashing "POW!" on the bottom of the screen that the bar's full! And there's no way to turn it off.

I totally have a thing for arcade sticks for home consoles. I grew up playing games in the '80s man, during the golden age of arcades and Atari -- I'm a dyed-in-the-wool joystick man. I got the Advantage stick for the NES, and it wasn't until I got a Super NES that I begrudgingly started using pads (even then I got the Super Advantage, but found it a little sketchy). SNK packaging the Neo-Geo with two sticks made the ridiculous price tag of the AES worth every penny in my eyes (not that I paid that for mine, but still...the perception of value was there). The Saturn Virtua Stick from Sega and the almighty Dreamcast arcade stick from ASCII got me through countless shmups and fighters. And lately I have been lusting after a Hori Real Arcade Pro -- any version -- for the PS2.
But I've never seen that VSP for Saturn...wow! I want one!

I am currently addicted to Wii Sports and Wii Play. I've spent darn near $1000 the last couple months of Turbo stuff. Then the wife comes home with a Wii three weeks ago and it's all we do in the evening when we don't have plans.
So addicting. Still trying for a 300 game on Wii bowling. So... Close...

This week:
- Road Rash 3, Sega Genesis - I'm about halfway through level 2, and I have the "middle" bike, with all upgrades. I plan to continue racing tracks I've already qualified on, to build $, so ic an buy one of the super bikes, purchase all the upgrades for that, then go to level 3. Whiel in level, I'll continue racing the same tracks over and over to build $, then buy the #1 bike and cruise through the last 2 levels with that..... That's the plan, for when I return.
- Samurai Shodown 4, Neo Geo MVS - I just had to figure out the blood spray, when it sprays onto your character. It took about an hour and a half, however I figured out how to perform the blood spray on 2 opponents, to where I could finish them with a blood spray round after round! Pretty awesome. Seems to involve finishing the opponent with a strong slash, one opponent I could do it by being right next to them, jumping, then as I land strong slashing while their health was in the red (mine also). The 2nd opponent I figured this out with, was Tam-Tam (I forget the other opponent's name), While both our health was in the red, I would get next to him, where I was standing against him, then while standing still, strong slash. This worked most of the time, other times it would slice Tam-Tam in half.
It would not have consumed so much time had I just played dummy opponents from the start. For 30-45 min I attemtped to do this while in game, then I loaded in the 2nd controller and started playing dummy opponents so I coudl figure what did what, when.

I've been playing a lot of Halo 2 Vista lately... on XP. f*ck you Microsoft, f*ck you! Nerd hackers 1, Micro-penis-soft 0. :D
This game is so incredibly good I cannot possibly put it in words. It even outbeats Halo 1, and that's NOT a small feat! I'm shocked by the sheer perfection of this fantastic game. Incredible. Everybody who hasn't played it yet: DO IT NOW! :shock:
I cannot imagine how good Halo 3 will be. It's going to be the final game in the series, and I assume they made that decision simply because they couldn't possibly improve the next game in any way possible, as Halo 3 will be the first and only perfect game.

No idea. I've never played anything online. By the way, it's no "XP" version, it's just the standard Vista-only game, but with a small and highly unofficial hack (100kB) you can play it on XP with a 40-50% (at least) performance increase. It barely ran on my computer when I played it under Vista, but on XP it performs SMOOOTHLY on max settings. Man Vista blows. :)

I've been mixing it up this week.
Neo Geo:
- Samurai Shodown - I played this through to completion, 32 continues.
Sega Genesis:
- Road Rash 3 - Still messing with level 4, I have 2 tracks to qualify on. So much shit in the road. I need to be, "in the zone" to get into these later levels and qualify.
- Road Rash 2 - I started playing this week, I'm on level 2, trying different bikes. I'm going to cruise around level 2 for a while, try different bikes, build $, etc.
Road Rash games are nice to play here and there. With the passwords, I can play a few tracks here and there, take a break, come back to it later.
The PC Engine hasn't had mcuh use lately, though I'll return to it soon for "Efera & Jilioria".

Today was a TurboGrafx exclusive!
* The arcade classic Vigilante! * Forgotten Worlds, another arcade wonder! * Followed up with a little R-Type (CD version)... * Then proceeded to make some progress in Shape Shifter (I'm liking this game, despite others' misgivings) * Finished off with a round of Devil's Crush. I haven't played this game in FOREVER. One of my biggest peeves with Alien and Devil is that the high score table isn't saved. So I decided to do a test with Devil's Crush since I've never used the save state feature before (who saves a game of pinball?). Lo and behold, if you save your game the high score table is saved a well! Killer! Now if there was only a way to save in Alien Crush...

Nothing much the past 5-7 days, though in the time since I last posted in this thread:
Sega Genesis:
- Road Rash 3 - Only have to complete the Kenya track on level 5. That track sucks. I've gone this far through the game without cheating, hwoever due to this track beign pretty awful (Many curves,a nd crap int he road), I may summon the game genie so I can see the ending.
- Road Rash 2 - I'm nearly complete with level 3. I'm racing and gathering funds to buy the Diablo.
PS1:
- Road Rash - Same deal as Road Rash 2 for the Genesis.
MVS:
- Random Samurai Shodown games here and there. When SS 5 (Zero) arrived yesterday, I played that for about 10 minutes to see how it differed from SS5 Special.

Cellular Gaming at its Finest (I have some Verizon phone that is at least a year old).
I finally passed the ice level (8 miles left) in Bonk's Return! I had known what I needed to do for... months? I just didn't have any desire to waste my time with performing a pixel perfect "medium" jump with shoddy cell phone buttons.
Well, that's how I felt until Wednesday of this past week, that is, when I had some free time on the train (I forgot to bring a book) and found salvation in my cell phone.
Anyway, now I'm at the final stage (thankfully, the subsequent 7 stages didn't have any stupid parts like the ice level... although there were some annoying moments due to the horrible controls).
This last level is proving to be quite a pain in the ass. We'll see what happens...
Neo Gradius. I paid friggin' $8 for this shite on thursday (or friday) this past week. Holy crap, I think I'm going to request a refund. It's a horrible mess, and I should have known better. The controls are horrendous: often, I push a button to move in the corresponding direction and nothing happens! So, I try again. No response. Holy crap, I'm gonna die. Crap!
There are "score attack" modes and they are pretty kool (you unlock new weapons!).
I have enjoyed the game, when the controls are working, and if this was $3-4 I wouldn't be complaining. But $8 for this? Ouch.
I'm a sucker, apparently.
Scrabble Blast -- continues to provide fun, which is pretty impressive because I've had this game for almost a year? I actually bought the GBA version more than a year ago but I haven't opened it yet. Anyway, I'm enjoying the "One Bag" mode because I've rarely played it and I'm sick of the other modes.
Might & Magic -- I think I'm pretty far in this game. It has actually been quite enjoyable... but I'm sorta stuck now and I haven't figured out what I need to do next. I'll eventually get back to it. One thing that annoyed me: whilst playing, I flipped the lid of my phone closed, which usually turns the game off. For some reason, the game remained active and I lost a life. WTF?

Today I played Exile on both the TurboGrafx-16 and the Sega Genesis 16-bit Entertainment System. The Genesis one is a bit easier I think, but the buttons seem to be stuck on permanent rapid-fire. Perhaps I should try to set the controller to 3 button mode... I just now though of that. The text is easier to read in the Turbo version by far, and I prefer the softer sound effects on the Turbo as well. The music is pretty much a draw right now. The CD music is not impressive. The Genesis definitely has better music in the first town.

Ha! I have to say that the Red Book for Exile is pretty awesome... all of the techno-esque dance tunes, anyway. There's a nice homage to Kraftwerk (specifically, Kraftwerk's track "Numbers"). I have never read anyone point this out before, and I even wrote an article a few years ago (I don't think I ever finished it) that pointed out the "coincidental" similarities between a bunch of PCE Red Book and popular synth-pop of the 80's. Most of the stuff really was due to the musical zeitgeist... but that particular track in Exile is no accident, it is an homage, or sorts, to Numbers.
The non-dance tracks work well in the game, but they aren't designed to be anything more than nice background music (like most games).
Unsolicited anecdote: My brothers and I made a movie called "Snow Bash 3000" and we used one of the tracks from Exile (I think it was the boss tune) because we loved that track -- the game had just been released and we were stoked that Working Designs was breathing some life into the console. As far as Snow Bash 3000 is concerned, well, it was a stellar moment in the history of world film, let me tell you :).

I played them after one another back in the day and really liked both.
I love that style of graphics/shading, it really plays off the strength of the Genesis/Turbo's palette(nice vibrant colors). Playing them today with S-Video would probably reveal more differences, but I think I will just for the fun. :)
I don't remember how hard the Genesis version was, only that the Turbo version is ridiculously easy.
For years I thought that I had bad luck picking up broken Forgotten World Genesis carts, until I finally figured out that the 6 button pad was the problem. Of course two of the 4 or so carts turned out to really be broken anyway. :wink:

I'm playing through the Turbo version now and yeah, the music is definitely better. I tried the Genesis version again in 3 button mode and that solved my rapid fire problem, but the battery seems to be worn out as all of my saves were gone. The Genesis version has cuss words, but got rid of the religious elements. Also the burning town from the Turbo version was replaced with a church? Odd.

Hey, do they have hashish, cocaine and cannabis in the Genesis version? Or am I confusing things with Exile 2 (Wicked Phenomenon)?

Exile has some really strange difficulty balances. If you're at one level, a boss might take forever to beat and if you are just at like a level or two higher, a boss can be taken out in like one or two hits.

Nekketsu Legend Baseballer (the baseball RPG) - Been trying to complete this one. So far... it's not all that great, but I'm a good 4/5 of the way through, so I'll just finish it off.
R-Type Complete. Damn, bullet-hell shooters be damned - this game kicks my ass.

Since today is my one day off during the week right now, I went out and managed to track down a copy of Exile for Genesis locally(although I had to pay extra for the luxury).
I played through both games, clearing a stage/area on one version and then the other. I was surprised both by just how great the graphics are in the Turbo version(some of the best for Turbo/PCE) and by how big of a hit they took in the Genesis version. At least the Genesis version still uses the same artwork for almost everything and still looks nice.
I like the music in the Genesis version as much as or more than the Turbo's CD tunes(I'm partial to system generated music). I like how much of the cinemas are intact on the Genesis version too, even though I think that Valis III kept more.
Both versions have a tiny amount of flicker that only happens in a couple areas. When it happens on the Turbo version, part of it is from enemies that are off screen. The Genesis version had a floating pixel in front of Sandler's head in at least one area(forgot to keep track of it after that) and a glitchy flickering foreground piece in another. In the first dungeon on the bottom floor, part of the ground acts as foreground, even though it shouldn't, and cuts off the enemies. The PC Engine version glitches during fade in & outs. Frozen Utopia Beta testers will know what I'm talking about. :wink:
The biggest difference between the two is gameplay. The Turbo version pauses before jumping, to do the antic animation, while the Genesis version jumps almost instantly. I'd rather lose the frame of animation altogether if it meant quicker a response. The camera screws you over more on the Genesis version, getting the player stuck near the edge of the screen more often.
The Genesis version feels weird moving the player through the air during jumps. I tried the Mode button, but it makes no difference. The enemy layout is different and the Genesis version has many areas with fewer enemies, but lots of cheap placement. Like an archer standing in front of a door, so when you come back out you automatically take a hit.
The Genesis version is way easier overall(my memory had it backwards), but a couple bosses in particular are stupid difficult in the Turbo version. It took me forever to try to beat the bird boss. I went up a few levels and bought a ton of healing items and still couldn't kill it after what seemed like a half hour of constant hits using the best equipment. So I realized that there must be one more event to trigger to remove the boss's invincibility or something... three hits later he actually died.
So what happened when I tried it on the Genesis version with weaker equipment, several levels lower? It died in two hits. :dance:
Once it got late and I neared the end, I played only the Turbo version through the last few areas. Once I reached the final boss, it was the bird boss situation all over again. I maxed out my level, had the best equipment in the game and as many healing items as I could hold. I must've given him over a hundred hits each time before dying.
So on a hunch, I tried loading my save file with the PC Engine version(which has a cool Reno intro cinema). You'll never guess what happened... he died in like 6 hits. :wink: Wow. I like Working Designs' games and appreciate what they've contributed to the 'community' and everything, but they really wrecked some of their games with their difficulty 'fixes'.
I really appreciate WD taking Exile's localization seriously, except for a few lines. It just goes to show the great job they could do when not joking around and the difference it makes to games that aren't supposed to be pop cutlture or low-brow wacky.
I like how the third to last boss is Simon Belmont and the second to last boss is the final boss from Zelda II. :P
Both games kick ass and I can't recommend them enough. 8)

FINALLY someone who agrees with me on Exile's graphics! I always found Exile to have beautiful graphics! My favorite was always the waterfall that would appear in some places like the sewer place and later at the end with a bloody waterfall. I always loved the sprites (especially of people) in the 2D parts. It just looks extremely unique and fresh.

Last night I changed the battery in my Genesis Exile cart as my saves kept going away. The battery had even started to leak. Now I'll have to start over from the beginning for the 3rd time. I was able to get up to level 17 (the highest you can go) and beat Exile on the Turbo fairly easily. Only the last boss gave me any real challenge as I actually had to use a few healing things and some magic. The MODE button on the Genesis does make the B button slightly less twitchy in the menus, so buying stuff will be less of a pain. The stories are slightly different in the two versions, with the Turbo being about religion. I agree that the Genesis version is easier. I'm going to go play a bit more in a few minutes.

I never bothered to figure out the magic works. It wasn't until the final boss that I realized that I had it permanently set to restoration magic. :dance:
I just thought that the Genesis version had built-in turbo for the attack and was glad to have it. :wink: It was a little tricky navigating menus, but it had more to do with switching between versions for me.

Yeah, you have to turn magic off for some reason.
One thing I don't like about the Turbo version is that on the map screen you have to select "Map" to go from town to town. That's just an extra unnecessary step. I wonder if WD added it to make the game seem 10x longer?
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Black Tiger on August 21, 2007, 12:42:32 AM
I'm pretty sure that the map screen was also on the PCE version. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I wish that the Turbo version had the Warp spell. I don't know if it gets unlocked and I missed it or something, but it sure would've come in handy after barely defeated some of the cheaper bosses or during leveling runs.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Joe Redifer on August 21, 2007, 12:32:57 PM
The Warp spell is not in the Turbo version. That's because WD made the game near-impossible. Anyway, I finally finished Exile on the Sega Genesis™ last night. Wow! You can feel the Sega-ness in every pixel!
Does anyone have the PCE version of Exile 2? Does your character walk extremely close to the edge of the screen, or is that a WD thing? Popful Mail US Sega CD did the same thing.

The sewers actually use a different effect than the bloody waterfalls, which use the Axelay trick. The first few bloody waterfalls are cool enough, but you then encounter some than pour down to the ground and over the next edge.
Its a nice touch since the actual graphics are great in the first place. :)

Your character walks extremely close to the edge of the screen in the PCE version.
I've played through the PCE versions of both games, and I don't particularly care for either of them. Part 2 is so ridiculously linear and easy that it's practically pointless, while part 1 is simply mediocre and doesn't even come close to games like Blood Gear, Xanadu, and Ys III. The only thing I really liked in either of them was the opening cinema in 2 because the characters look cool and the music rules.

I've only played the TGCD and Genesis versions. From the sounds of it, I don't think I'd like the PCE version as much as the Turbo. They're fun, simple, straightforward games. Often times I prefer linear games over games that are indepth.

Also, let it be known that Gradius IV: Zakkutsu has the BEST Konami jingle screen EVER, I can't find a Youtube of it, but it has all these segemented polygons that rotate and conjoin to form the OLD COOL Konami logo.
So yeah, if I'm MIA, you know where I am.

Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max
Capcom Puzzle World
Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins
Now of course, this is very bad, because I have 4 brand new very awesome games, and I don't know which one to devote time to first! It's also bad because now I need a new case to hold more games.
The rest of my PSP collection is:
Gradius Collection
Sega Genesis Collection
Capcom Classics Collection
Bust - A - Move DX
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
What's left to get is:
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Metal Slug Anthology
Carnage Heart Portable (I REALLY WANT THIS!)
Capcom Classics Collection Reloaded
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower
Guilty Gear Judgment
Every Extend Extra
Taito Legends Power-Up
Disgaea: Afternoon Of Darkness
MediEvil Resurrection
Ridge Racer
Wipeout Pulse
Bomberman
Lumines
Sega Genesis Collection Volume 2 (if they make it)
Salamander Collection
Parodious Collection
Mega Man Powered Up
Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
Lemmings
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of The Lions
Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception
Monster Hunter Freedom 2
So as you can see, I have my work cut out for me.

So, in yet another moment of desperation, I plunked down a few $$$'s for Metal Slug 3 (Cellular, Verizon).
First impressions...
I have to say that the graphics on cellular games are friggin' nice. Seriously. Metal Slug 3 looks sweet, with many layers of parallax and some really nice, big sprites (bosses, + the occasional tank / plane).
Unfortunately, the same problem that plagues nearly all mobile games rears its ugly head: controls. I suppose that folks who are used to playing MAME with a keyboard will have no problem playing mobile games. Unfortunately, for everyone else, many cellular versions of games are poor imitations of the original game that inspired them.
Jump up AND shoot? (press 2, then 5) Jump forward / backward? (press 2, followed quickly by 3/4) Jump forward / backward AND shoot? (press 2, followed quickly by 3/4, followed quickly by 5) Turn around and shoot? (press 4/6, followed quickly by 5) Duck down, then turn around? Forget about it!
All of these basic maneuvers require a "keyboard shortcut" combination of buttons on the keypad (the direction pad is worthless, by the way). Simply turning around to slash someone is annoying, and then you have to go through the sequence again to turn back around.
You feel as if the cell phone is incapable of registering 2+ buttons being pressed simultaneously. Of course, pressing 2+ buttons simultaneously is a hallmark of video game mechanics.
I have already gotten pretty good playing Metal Slug 3 on my phone, despite the horrible controls. It plays like "Kung Fu" or "Vigilante" -- but with guns -- most of the time because I can't be bothered to jump up and explore the platforms unless a worthwhile power-up is there.
I can't properly judge this game until I've spent more time with it. Stay tuned...
UPDATE: NEO GRADIUS (Cellular) Ha! So after playing Metal Slug 3, I'm appreciating Neo Gradius a lot more. I really like the "Score Attack" mode where you can unlock extra weapons. I don't give a damn about unlocking weapons (though I tend to use "double shot" a lot), but the minimum target scores you have to earn are set at a nice difficulty level, IMO. It's really addictive to just play this mode. In fact, I spend most of my time doing this since it is a shorter, self-contained mini-game.
I actually like some of the music in Neo Gradius, though I usually am not able to listen to it w/o annoying everyone else on the subway.
I've beaten Neo Gradius a few times, but I have yet to play it on the highest difficulty level. Overall, despite the sloppy controls in this game, I have actually had a lot of fun playing it. The direction pad is glitchy at times (unresponsive), but it feels like a temporary hiccup in a "relatively smooth running game" * , unlike, say, Bonk's Return, which is impossible to play with the direction pad because the direction pad registers things inconsistently and prevents you from executing pixel-perfect jumps (that the keypad allows).
* I'm using the term "smoothly-running" loosely here. This is a mobile game, afterall. GUTS teases me for playing these cellular games, but I honestly don't want to buy/carry another electronic device with me. Playing on my phone is fun and convenient. The problem, of course, is finding a game that complements the cellular platform.

You never herd of MS3 !? Wtf that's consider a classic from SNK.
You know what? It does sound somewhat familiar now that I think about it. It's just that the NeoGeo was just so out of reach for me when I was younger that I think I didn't pay attention to it too much. hehe. But one of the arcades here had a couple NeoGeo machines. I remember a shmup, Final Fight (or some fighting game like it), and Cyber-Lip. That first boss on Cyber-Lip gave me the creeps. haha. That shreek/sound it let out at you? :shock:

Befor your time huh well i was surpise you never herd of it.Given how the ms serise has more exposure now then it did then.Of corse the scene for the,NeoGeo during the 90's wasn't too good for that time frame.Arcades in the late 90's for some reason were not too inerested in carrying them.Plus you had to be lucky to know some,body that had a AES.
Still at least these days owning one isn't..impossible it doesn't matter what the choice is either to what ya pick AES,NGCD etc.Heck even a MVS can be used at "home" either by running 'it through a supergun or haveing the board consolized.
As for cyper-lip i don't find it (creepy or scarey) just down right cheesey.
The game offen get's the nickname poor mans metalslug but i like it.
I recomend it most of the time any body who's getting a neogeo.
Btw if ya never seen these videos they give ya a quick history lesson on SNK. The Rise and fall of SNK Part 1 Part 2

Well, I wasn't trying to say that Cyber-Lip was scary or creepy like say Alien/Aliens, Dawn of the Dead, or 28 Days Later were scary. I was just saying that the boss on level 1 was creepy. Now there is a FINE line between scary and cheesy so that's really up to the individual to decide. :) As for the game play of Cyber-Lip? It's pretty terrible. I don't really have the patience to finish that game.

Klonoa does have one of the saddest but best endings ever in a video game, man I was so depressed after beating it. It sucks the sequel didn't have as good of a story and basically pretty much ignored that the first one ever happened.

Last night knowing I still would'n't have access to my Castlevania III-J, I bought a Generation NEX out of desperation just to play this: (http://mixfox.img.jugem.jp/20051017_50866.jpg)
It was worth it. I couldn't be a sound quality Nazi anymore, so I'm enjoying this. Found a walkthru in Japanese, and translated it with Babelfish and actually understood the Engrish that BF brought up.
That title realy needs a walk-through btw hows the nex working for ya ?
I may more likely be the one to make it happen as a matter of fact.
Here's the link to the walkthrough http://rko.jp/lagrange_point/
My job then is to paraphrase the Engrish.

I got really close, but the game wasn't fun enough to make me keep trying, so I put it away. There's challenging, and then there's hard. They're completely different. Hard is lame. Challenging is great and makes you want to keep trying.. Exile 2 is hard.

Sweeeet!! Nice that it actually includes plastic figures. My first Battletech set was in fact called "Battledroids" and it came with two plastic models that you had to put together (Shadow Hawk and Griffin). Whenever they changed the name of the game to Battletech they no longer included the plastic models, instead giving us the lame cardboard. But I would, of course, spend money on the lead figures and paint them meticulously. 8)

Nes Final Fantasy Metroid - You know I bought this game when it first came out. I never liked it b/c I could never find my way through this game. Now, I'm playing it again except this time I bought a old Nintendo Power issue that has the walkthrough. I got all the way up to Ridley and shot him up the ass and killed him. After that I turned off the the Nes and realize this game isn't very fun. There's just too much backtracking involved through these long corridors. Time to break out Guardian Legend.

Gradius III (SNES) - This game just came in the mail today. It's probably the easiest Gradius-related game ever made. And not by design-- the slowdown works constantly like a built-in slow motion feature you can't turn off. The music is also inferior to any of the NEC games (Gradius, Salamander, Gradius II, Parodius), but still not bad. Better than a lot of SNES music.
Flash Hiders - Another game that came in the mail. Absolutely killer-awesome game. I can't believe I skipped this one for so long. Beautiful.
Anearth Fantasy Stories - Progressed a little farther in my game today, then was used to mop the floor after making some poor choices in battle.

Famicom Rockman 3 - Damn you needle man! I hate you needle man! I will kill you needle man!

I can often see nice lots with many Famicom games there, but most of these Famicom games are really strange and not really that fun to play. I wonder how many Famicom games there are? There has got to be thousands of different games released for the Famicom. I wonder if someone has all the Famicom games? It would be interesting to take a look at such a Famicom collection.

I'm getting back into Cave Story, I just rediscovered it on my hard drive. Dojin games freaking own. Did you know there's a whole genre of music in Japan that's basically just re-arranges of game music? They call it Dojin music, aka Fan Music. No shitty hip-hop lingo like "remix" over there. And for that I admire them.

There is a bit more polygon break up, but there are more polygons overall and the game runs much faster (60fps vs 30fps on the 32X). Of course the arranged music kicks ass. Still, the 32X version is very good in every respect and even has a 16:9 widescreen mode which isn't in the Saturn version.

It doesn't specify 16:9 in the manual. It is called "SQUEEZE" in the options. You'll get an anamorphic picture that will be displayed in widescreen on a 16:9 TV. Notice that only the polygon graphics squeeze, not the bitmapped stuff.

I love VF2 on the Saturn and yes the arrange music is awesome! and you should get the Fighters Megamix as well for saturn Joe.
Vf3TB was awesome in the arcades although the dreamcast was less stellar and a really bad bug on Shuns stage and having a takarashi or other heavy character makes the boat on the far left of the screen capsizes after a few knocks at that end and the characters float in the air!!! :O
I love the original VF "block" designs and you should try the VF anniversary on the ps2 as well.
VF5 is where its at now and I love it soo much!

I do have Fighters Megamix. I love fighting as the Daytona car! I have Virtua Fighter 2 on the PS2 (it seems to be the arcade version only) and there is some kind of VF1 deal on the VF4 Evolution disc, but that's just kind of weird. Why can't these compilations be on the Xbox? At least that thing supports progressive scan in most of its games and doesn't get stuck on fields when loading in interlaced mode.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - Famicom Me and a friend played it. It was decent fun. But we got pissed at the sixth world, where both of us got game over near the end. All levels were reset. The Famicom was turned off.
Today:
Star Tropics 2 - NES I got this game a a few days ago. It is fun and stuff, but not as great as I remembered it. Definitely not nearly as good as the first game, but still a good game. Too bad the music is really poor though, unlike the other game.
Neutopia 2 - PCE This game is really simple, but I like it a lot. And the soundtrack is awesome, definitely my favorite for the PCE. I really wish I had the English game though. :(

I subscribed to WOOMB.net and purchased Xak, Undeadline, and Neo Golvellius and every other Compile game listed (yes, I’m Compile fanatic :wink: ). I own the most of the originals so being able to read the manuals in english was a treat. The scanlations of the original manuals were awesome, and so were the translations of the games XAK and Neo Golvellius.
Of all the games I bought XAK was the most impressive, more than Neo Golvellius which was the game that attracted me in the first place. The guys who translated XAK added R800 (Turbo-R) support which makes the game run very fast, hardly seems there’s no load times, almost anyway.
About Neo Golvellius, I’m not so sure what to say. I loved playing the original msx1 version but so far this remake feels overrated. Maybe I'm wrong, I need to finish the game before making such a decision.

Either way, you owe it to yourself to get a copy. Having owned and played it, I now can say that I would have paid as much as $100 for it. It's that good.
And, with m1savage's excellent website devoted to the game, you can't go wrong.

I am still hopelessly addicted to Neo Turf Masters. This is everyone's favorite game for my Neo, and having some good competition really gets me hooked. There is a coffee can with $60 in it for the first hole-in-one too....even more fuel for the addiction.
My average is still 10 to 11 under, but I had a nice breakout game of 16 under today on the Japan course.

Neo Turf Masters is freakin' awesome. I am glad I own the real thing. I was finally able to beat the computer without continuing and come in well under par and in 1st place (with the guy who has powerful drives). I don't think a hole in one is possible. Hell, it's pretty much impossible to chip it in from 4 feet away because it always bounces off of the flag pole, damn it!!!!

The damn pin does make it hard to chip in. I can't count how many times I have putted from like 10 yards off the fairway, just to have the ball lean against the pin and not fall. :evil: I have made some sexy eagles from 160-120 yards, so I think a hole-in-one is possible on the short par 3. On the Gweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen................
Never tried Top Players Keranu, hard to imaginee a better golf game on the Neo.

The sequel TRON mentioned is also awesome on the IIGS. You got a real one or playing via emulation?
I love my Apple IIGS. It's my second electronic love, after consoles.
Yeah I got a real one. I don't have many games for it though. Hopefully when my USB to serial adapter shows up in the mail I can use ADT Pro and transfer some disk images over.

Beat Burnout Paradise. Also played some Burnout 2, Burnout 3 Takedown and Burnout Revenge. Revenge is really fun.
Revenge is good, but the graphics really went downhill on Revenge, though I haven't seen the 360 version, which I'm sure is quite good. It is fun though. However, B3 Takedown is my favourite hands down. The graphics are sharp and it's intense. The F1 car hotlap is absolutely crazy. I think that's why I like B3 more than Revenge - you can't hit ANY cars that don't have the arrow on top. Makes the game more intense and hard IMHO.

Relics - I beat the PC-8801 and MSX2 version in the same day. A rather odd game where you begin as a ghost searching for your real body. At the same time you explore a strange ruin called Relics. The action is slow paced and there's no BGM except during the intro and ending. Seems like a really boring game at first but it's one those that somehow keeps you playing until you finish it.
Snatcher - I finally finished playing through the original PC-8801. Best version I've played yet.

Aside from the Turbo, Armagetron Advanced is my other gaming fix. I love this game. It's basically TRON lightcycles. You can download and apply all sorts of different moviepacks that people develop that change the look. My moviepack looks pretty much identical to TRON the movie. If I was a 3D developer I'd love to make a Turbo/PCE theme moviepack. :mrgreen:

Is it pretty similar to San Andreas, only bigger and better looking? A lot of people froth at the mouth with hate for GTA, but I too find 'em fun to explore (there's much more to 'em than just running over pedestrians and shooting people), and I look forward to the eventual PC release.

Guess it was bad timing given,GunNac came out at a time when the next generation of console were hitting the store shelfs.
By that point the nes was on it's way out.
Oh well,better late then never i'm just glad i finally got a copy to play on my famicom.
Yeah, all of the games that came out late in NES / FC's lifespan fell in the shadows of (crappier) 16-bit releases. S.C.A.T. is another great (co-op!) Natsume game you should definitely get :)

Yet quite a bit smaller than the map in SA, though that's alright considering an awful lot of that was wide open nothingness.

A couple months ago I bought a Toshiba Satellite 4005CDS for mere 12 Bucks! It's got a PentiumII 233mhz, 96MB RAM, 4GB hdd, Yamaha OPL3-SA3, floppy, 20x cdrom, 12.1" dual scan, usb port. No windoze on this puppy, my other PC gots that covered. No, I decided this will be a dedicated DOS gaming machine.
Its been very long time since I used dos, so I forgotten how to edit the config.sys and autoexec.bat. I don't know how many times I re-edited those files but I did it so much I ended up re-teaching myself DOS in the process. I remember setting up the sound drivers in dos has always been a hassle. Even trying to find a way to free up enough conventional memory for games to run was sometimes a pain too. But this time around it took me less time to do it. Mmm...nostalgia. It all coming back to me :)
Probably the only bad about this laptop is the LCD, its dual scan. Very blurry and colors are washed out especially when something is in motion, but its got VGA out so it all good on a CRT. Even cooler this laptop looks like a console all time because you don't even have to flip up the screen up to press the power button. The switch is actually on its side. It can stay close forever.
Zeliard - greatest adventure game I've ever played in 2008 hands down. What I love most is the Adlib music. It really sounds better than the original on the NEC PC-8801. I can't believe I missed out on this game. Def on the look out for the original package with 5.25 floppies even though I don't own a 5.25 disk drive. :p
Turrican - game's so picky on the memory requirements that I can't load sneskey. I'm forced to play on the keyboard because of this. I seriously need to get a joystick for the gameport. Glad the music is awesome.
Sorcerian - played the MSX2 port alot and I decided to pick this one up. It's okay but I wish I had a Roland MT-32 because the Adlib music just sound meh...
Doom - classic fps greatness.
Psychic Detective - This one tricked out FMV, its a total mind trip. Dialogue is really good and theres alot of replay value, 10 endings in total. A must play, really its that good.
Night Trap - it's the directors cut this time, same stuff you'd expect from the SegaCD. Quality ain't near the 3DO though.
Flash Traffic: City of Angels - I saw the trailer on youtube, and it looked interesting. Nuclear bomb in Los Angeles and its up to two FBI agents to disarm the bomb and bring the culprits to justice. Very cheesy. Too bad I can't play the mpeg version without a decoder card.

Strikers Plus is the first bullet hell game I have really put any time into and I am getting the smack laid done on me. Oddly the default on this game only gives you two ships :-k on a US Bios, while the Jpn gives you three. I figured why should the Japanese have all the fun and bumped the players to three. The Zero Fighter has given me the best results, if I can make it through the level the charge shot bomb pretty much kills a boss in one hit if you land it well. I am clearing 1-4 pretty consistantly, but get swarmed and go down in the opening area of 1-5.

I've mostly been playing games on my Wii and PS2. The games in question are Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (an excellent pinball collection), Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 for the Wii (While I own NG2 on the NES, I just love the Wii classic controller), and Mega Man Anniversary Collection (mostly in celebration for Mega Man 9) for the PS2. My favorite Mega Man games are, obviously, the first three games with the third installment being my favorite. The other Mega Man games all have their ups and downs but all are enjoyable enough to play at least once.
Here's how I'd rank the games:
Mega Man 3=2>1>>5>6>7>4>8
The unlockable arcade games are enjoyable diversions, though they are a tad too short (even for arcade games).

different to the past galaga games for sure..
Main difference is having 2 satelites or options.. which using the right analogue controller you can deploy them facing up, down, left and right to help take out the onslaught of wave after wave of enemies..
You do need to strategically place them as the enemies appear from all sides of the screen
you also got certain enemies that u can capture and these will absorb the enemies around it so you can end up controlling a legion of galagas with the satellites
there are also certain enemies which you shoot that cause chain explosions giving lots of points
some classic tunes get remixed and techno'd up

I'm playing two games in earnest right now: Dragon Knight II and Final Fantasy III (DS). I'm at the part in DKII where you get your third party member. I'm using a walkthru for it which kinda diminishes the fun of the game a little, but not knowing any Japanese and all it's the only way I would be able to get anywhere. I still explore the dungeons at my own leisure and all that, but I have no idea what's going on. FF3 is almost over I think (unless they pull a switcheroo at the end and tack on another ten+ hours). I'm at the part after you get Noah's Lute or whatever and have to get the earth horn. I'm really hoping this is close to the end because I have DQ IV waiting.

Beat DKII a little while ago. Just been fooling around with a few games on the PCE, LaPlace No Ma and Advanced V.G. (which is HARD for someone not used to fighters).
I'm also trying to find all the summons in FF3 since I decided to change my black mage into a summoner. I'm probably supposed to change my white mage into something else as well, but I don't know what and kinda don't feel like experimenting.
I've also gotten a little further in Eternal Sonata. Seems like I play the 360 once a month or something.

Why is that man's shoulder bigger than his head.
I was seriously going to ask that EXACT same question! I was also going to ask why he didn't seem to have a neck. Then I realized the answer: Gawdawful character design. I don't like the main character, either... the guy with the do-rag. Only a$$holes and morons wear do-rags. He can go to hell. Also, you can bet your entire life savings that every character in that game has lots and lots of 'tude. Can't have a game these days without copious amounts of 'tude.
I agree about the reasoning of your dislike of current gen games. Who the hell wants to play this unimaginative shit?

Yesterday I recieved an email with a newsletter that Dungeons and Dragons Online: Storm Reach has a new addition! - DDO Online Unlimited...FREE TO PLAY FOR EVERYONE!
I got all giggley and hyper and read into it (looking for a catch22) and found out they are going to go through a point system like most of the MMORPG's online you may or may not always see.
DDO on the other hand seems for the most part to have done right on the situation:
You can still get loot, and in game chests with good rewarding items! They still allow mail,auctions,trades and various findings in side quests. You can still earn ingame money and shop at the inns for healing potions etc...
After getting in game and checking out the store it seems very basic and simplistic, yet for people who want something now (if they have the money/points) it is welcome to them.
Also noted that you can keep your older existing characters, and things that can be bought with "Turbine Points" can be unlocked just by simply playing the game. Ofcourse we all know MMORPG's take up your life, so maybe they are trying to incorporate a method into the game for normal people,like me, that can't just sit infront of a computer screen for 14 hours a day and play a friggin game!
With all that being said.....DDO Online Unlimited is going to be my current most played game!
With Tales of Phantasia (GBA) coming in second, and Random PCE time coming in third!

XBLA: Shadow Complex. This is a very fun side scrolling Metroid-vania type game with some decent story. This is my favorite release for XBLA next to Bionic Commando.
Neo Geo AES: Real Bout Fatal Fury 2. I usually always play FF 3 and Real Bout Special, but I am liking the different moves and combos on this one. Also, has fast pace gameplay due to less demo screens and the sway system instead of the typical old line system from FF1, 2 and Special.

Mega Man 1 and 2, NES.
Made part 1 my bitch. I last beat it back in the 80s or something. It took a few hours to finish.
Then started on part 2, which I also last beat about 20 years ago. A better game overall, but man, they really toned down the difficulty from part 1 to 2. I got to Dr. Wiley's stage on one credit (whereas it took multiple tries for some of the individual robots for part I), before putting the controller down for the night. I'll kill this one off tomorrow.

I played through Outrun on the Sega Ages compilation. I beat all 5 courses, and it was quite a bit of work because I was rusty. I love the ending if you get finish A. Yu is one of the all-time best game makers.

Most fans consider the ds version of Ys 1&2 to be piss poor far as controlls go etc.Though "the psp version of Ys 1&2" will be released in the u.s later in year wich is supose to be a port of the pc version.

use the blue/water armor along with wise spending of your jewels. Don't forget to use the jewel cheat code.
LORDS OF THUNDER cheats
Boss Mode Go to the configure screen, set up level=HARD, music=01 and sound=01, then press Select+I (you can return to level=NORMAL before exiting) - this will bypass the stage and go directly to each stage's boss.
Start with 10K crystals Go to the configure screen, set up level=SUPER, music=02 and sound=02, then press Select+I.

No PCE gaming today (even though I do plan on firing up Double Dragon 2 in a bit), just good ol' PS1 emulation on the PC! I played a bit of:
Gradius Gaiden Tobal 2 w/English patch Harmful Park
Much easier this way since I don't have a modded PS1 to play the good imports. I can just plug in my dual-analog Logitech pad and have at it!

Woke up this morning with a hankerin' for some PCE gaming! I started off with Gradius II and one-life'd it to the Moai level. Then I was killed halfway through the stage and lost all of my powerups! Still made it to the boss, but with only the pea-shooter and 1 speedup, I didn't even stand a chance. Moved onto Bomberman '94 and played until I beat the first boss, then I came on here.

If your parents have wireless internet, you can use your PSP to log on to your PS3 and play PS1 and PSMINI games. The PS3 does all of the processing and sends you a video stream of what things look like. In fact, I was rocking out to some PS1 Castlevania Symphony o' da Night today at work that is downloaded onto my PS3. Then I went back out to the PS3's XMB (which shows up on the PSP) and sent a friend an e-mail saying what I was doing and how he should be jealous of me for it.

The tune when u fight the Shadow Warrior boss at the end is TOTALLY ROCKIN' !
Anyways, still chipping away at Twin Cobra....i'm getting kinda fed up as it's keeping me from moving on and playing my other games....I think i'm gonna have to sadly result to entering some codes to help me out "GASP" HAHAHA This game is damn hard, i hoping level 10 boss is the finale, it's the farthest i've gotten....I really wanna move on to Gates or Dynastic....

My retro-gaming buddy came over today and we just finished up about 6 hours of nerdtastic game-playing. Probably would've lasted longer, but his clingy wife needed some 'quality time'... So, we played:
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (PCE) - played and beat the hell out of this game! Even despite the crazy difficulty level! Super Dodge Ball (NeoGeo) - fun game, but I think that the NES one is slightly better. D&D: Shadow over Mystara (Arcade) - spent quite a bit of time on this one until my buddy had to leave.

But considering he finished it by himself twice in the last few weeks...i decided to join in the quest. To my surprise, i set a gliche or something, I was using the girl character and somewhere on the 3rd stage, i used the protector orbs....and no matter what they WOULD NOT die off!?!?!" I was basically invincible all the way to the final boss (orange dragon). Then it started showing cracks, but i just ended up using another one right after and finished off the boss. WEIRD! :shock:

Played Spriggan, then Sidearms Special (sucked at it, so only played for a few minutes), then Super Darius (sucked even worse at that!), then switched over to some Deep Blue (it sucked :P), then a round of Bomberman 93 (awesome!) followed by a bout of Street Fighter 2 on the cgfx, and lastly some good ol Devil's Crash. Quite a day of gaming :P Vacation is awesome!

I didn't get to play as much today since my "work" (I work for free as a part of some kind of experience-plan carried out by the.. well, the government basically) is taking most of my days. I found roughly an hour to spend on gaming and the time was put on Just Cause 2, PS3. I really like it.

Dusted off the Dreamcast and played some Ikaruga and Gunbird 2. Then hopped on the SNES for some Super E.D.F. and Dragon Quest III Reprise. I'm also currently finishing Ys 7 on the PSP. Going to get back to the pc-engine this weekend. Maybe I'll finally finish Basted.

I tried to play dungeon explorer... I guess I just suck at life because I couldn't get very far :P Isn't it better with more people to play with you?
It's easy beatable with one player. The most difficult part is figuring out where to go next if you continue with a password after not playing for a while. Don't give up. The endgame rulz!!! :)
Unlike Dungeon Explorer for the Sega CD. That game is TOUGH with one player! I couldn't get much further beyond the first dungeon. That game really frustrated me. ](*,)

Easy and 9 continues really doesn't count lol

I f*cking love Actraiser! One of my favorites on the SNES. It's a shame the sequel was just action. [-(
For some unknown reason I decided to start playing FF6 with the redone translation. I never finished the game on the SNES. I never owned the game back in the day and was just borrowing it from a friend. He wanted it back before I had a chance to finish it. Well 16 years later I guess I have the time now. I like it so far and I was never a huge Square or FF fan. I do like IV and V though and this one always appealed to me with the music graphics for it's time.

My bro and I won the SNES from a drug store contest. It was with a radio station in the Cleveland area WMJI. They called us up on the air and told us we won! We actually got it before it was released in the stores. It was kinda cool. I remember playing SMW for the first time and then getting Actraiser and CV4 on launch day. Besides playing Ys for the first time that was one of my favorite video game moments. Sadly my bro has the SNES now, (which is good for my niece and nephew) so I do most of my stuff from the VC. I don't mind using the VC for SNES since I still just have a standard TV. The blur on the TG-16 stuff is rather annoying, but that's why I have an actual Duo right? :D
This mornig before heading out with the wife I rocked out some Air Zonk to get me pc-engine fix. Been a long time since I beat it. Man that last level can suck it sometimes.

I never got past them, after an hour of trying I gave up and Area 88 (I have the SFC-version) have now become Area Dust. I remember it was a big fight on the forum I was currently hanging out in at the time, me, some of the admins and other people couldn't get along because they couldn't accept me not liking the game. From there it got worse, with general hate and rumours and silent despice. It eventually led to me leaving the forum. Haha, a magic game. I have to play it some more, maybe I'll like it better today!

I am not sure what they mean by those purple airplanes. :-k I am playing the US version, so there may be some differences, but I doubt it.

Played some U.N. Squadron for the 'ol SNES tonight. Probably my favorite shootie on the system. I remember this one in the arcades BITD and having a near-arcade perfect port back then was awesome!
One of my favorite games as well. I never played the arcade version before, but I thought there were a number of differences when ported to the SNES? Either way the SNES version is a great game!
Purple planes?....not too sure either. I haven't played UN Squadron in years, but I think I'll break out my copy and play it this weekend.
Tonight I'm starting on Castlevania Legends after finally beating Adventure and Castlevania 2 for gameboy.

Naturally, I got some time in on my newest acquisition Blood Gear. It's a fantastic game, with what looks like high production values, killer cinemas, a good story, and great action. I have read that the Japanese skills for enjoying the game are low, but I am still not very comfortable with the menus in the game. I have figured out a little, but not much...yet. We need a Duomozov guide badly. :mrgreen: I recommend this sleeper of a gem to anyone who enjoys Zelda II like action/RPGs like myself. And, there needs to be more talk about this game here too. :wink:

Blood gear is amazing from just about every standpoint. One of the finer games for the Duo, and yes I would agree If there is no Duomazov review we should bug runinruder and nat to take this one up soon. :D

There is one review of Blood Gear up on the Duos page, but I don't think it's nat's. A guide is what is sorely needed though.

Left 4 Dead 2. We had to try the new campaign (The Sacrifice) and I'm not convinced it was a good buy. It was just three parts and had a very weak ending with no REAL action. I'd prefer if they packed every campaign on the same disc for L4D3 so I don't have to pay for downloads (I hate that) and stuff my HDD with mediocre gameplay.

More YS7, I'm up to the wind temple and the bird boss just kicked my ass (I did get it down to below 10k health though), this is one fight where I think I need to do a little grinding and have both projectile shooting members of the party equipped, and I think it's time to upgrage everyones weapons and equipment!
Just finished Star Wars Force Unleashed for the first time in preperation for Force Unleashed 2, I must admit I was rather disappointed with it, mainly the controls and lack of fluidity of gameplay, meh.
Haven't really done much in terms of OBEYing recently, after my PCE-SCDROM2 decided to corrupt my YS-1+2 save file when I was almost finished kinda killed it for me, I'll go back to it over the xmas hols I think on the run up to the remake release on PSP.

The SNES version was only 1player, and you could actually choose your route/levels that would follow the storyline of AREA 88 (anime it was based off of). There was also a sequel in the arcade that was pretty awesome too called Airwing Carrier.

I played Castlevania Judgement for the first time last night. If you think Legends is disappointing then judgement is some sort of war crime.

Ripped up some Psychic Storm, gotta say I liked it. While it moves a bit slow, the graphics and music more than make up for it. Definite replay value.
Found I used Joe and Natasia the most, but the pea-shooter guy(forgot his name) wasn't bad either. Chad is useless.
The music on Trident was very very good. Gonna have to learn that on the ol SG

Just Deep Blue for some reason. The approach-avoidance of this game is pretty awesome, and I really do like the fact that I don't have to run-and-gun fire 24/7 on this shooter. If you accept you are in a sub and treat it like one you are good. After you actually power up on levels 2 and 3 it really does become interesting.
I think the reason why people don't like it is because of the speed. Once you get the power-up it does make the game more fun, admittedly, But overall; this isn't your average shooter. It's a submarine after all...

Yesterday I didn't get to play.

In normal circumstances I would've said "too bad for you" but she just sat seven hours on a train to meet us for two days so yeah maybe I did the right thing to let it go and entertain her instead. :)

I loved it. I've never played a gun-game that actually works satisfactory (f*ck lightguns á la GunCon etc) on a TV at home so I was pleased with the controller. My local game store (that only sells expensive new games to rip everyone off) had House of the Dead: Overkill for 175 swedish crowns ($25) so I bought it yesterday. It's so lame-ass bad it's good! :D Yeah, the action and aiming is good, but the sexist and limp cutscenes, story and coating is f*cking awful but it gets good just because of it. :D I love this cheesy game, and I can't stop shooting!

i really love to play bomberman panic. Th thing is I think there is more than meets the eye with that game.

Those come when your opponent links more than three bombs at a time, performs combos, or when blows up lots of bombs with the red burning bomb. To get very far in this game (as with Puyo Puyo), you have to set up big combos to back your opponent into a corner.

played some bomberman with family on thanksgiving, but that wasn't the gaming highlight. it was totally the 4 man tournament on Spawn: in the Demon's Hand on dreamcast there's not a whole lot of variety to the gameplay, but damn is it good.

Yeah this is def one of my favorite games! Its just so well done, the musics great! Teay really did some things with the graphics that you dont usually see. Everything about this game rocks!! to me its def the most underated game on the system.. If u guys want to hit me up and talked about this game it would be awesome cause I cant say enough about it
Is there a thread for underrated games? This belongs on the list. I haven't made it all the way through the game though, but it's an awesome shooter. Haven't found a "new" game in a while that keeps drawing me back over and over.
Played some Bomberman '94 for the 4th straight weekend against friends. Keith Courage and some SFII. Need to get some Power Eleven in I think.

Calling (Wii). It actually scared me a couple of times in the first hours which is rare since I have played many horrorgames and consider the genre one of my favorites - therefore "hardened". :) Out of curiosity I ventured online to see what other people thought (something I very seldom do since people never thinks like me) and I was as usual surprised (maybe I should say I WASN'T surprised...) to read that everyone hates it. Around 2/5 is the most common grade with a warning not to play it. I couldn't care less, I think the game is sweet and that is all that matters.

Hey beamer, is Christmas nights just a demo? As opposed to straight up Nights?
Its just one level that you can play with both characters, but its still pretty fun. Each time you win you get some chances to win "presents" which are little extra goodies that range from picture galleries, to special modes, to karaoke videos lol. Its pretty neat I think. Just good for getting in the Christmas spirit :P
Its sensitive to the date, so if its near Christmas time it does a Christmas theme, if its New Years, it has a different theme. If its January or something, it comes up as Winter Nights... there might be some others that are date dependent (april fools maybe??) I havent tried manually changing to other dates though.

Yeah, I loved it back in the day. You really need to be prepared to be nerdy and get your note pad out. Write down all the clues and just have fun. I love anything Sherlock Holmes though and a night if going around investigating in the game is just fun. Back in the 90 though this was some of the first FMV ever and it was pretty amazing.
It's got a pretty bad wrap, but I think it's because it different from pretty much anything out there. It's not your standard video game stuff and I can see how people would think it's boring. It really is one of my favs though.

Cosmic Fantasy 3. I've had this title for well... 5+ years now, and just starting it, now that I've gone through part 1 (a couple years ago), and replayed part 2 (over the past month or so).
It's a LOT more polished than part 1 or 2. And quite a bit more complex as well. Part 1 was an easy-to-import RPG, and I'd imagine part 2 to be as well (though there's isn't much reason to import the JP version for part 2 when the US version is relatively cheap), but part 3 would definitely be a bit more challenging to those without some level of Japanese...

I feel the same. ;) I think it suffered a bit of "dated" design where you need to get to a certain point in order to trigger enemies. (I would approach slowly and use the... glaive(?) to scout ahead. I'd get really annoyed that once I reach a certain point all of the enemies start to show up. grr... :P)
It's also amazing how much the game benefits from being ran from the harddrive. (When that feature was first introduced to the 360, I remember a lot of people complaining that games were not improving in load times. This was one of the first games I tried where it did.)

I'll look into it. :)
If you are still in the mood, play Mansion of Hidden Souls (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansion_of_Hidden_Souls) for Sega CD. It, too, has an unnerving "mood" and atmosphere like Clock Tower.
I don't know, most folks might consider Mansion to be super-stale-dated. But I think it really does a great job creating atmosphere (compared to contemporary games of the era).

Played through two stages of Image Fight II, a freakin' beautiful game, now that I've gotten to REALLY spend some quality time with it. Excellent soundtrack, and kick ass cut scenes. Really loving this one!
Popped in some Exile 2(JAP), has been a while since I've gotten to play this one, Strange thing though, wasn't their parallax scrolling in this game? Was it only in the first stage of the US (Working Designs) version? If so, weird!

Also picked up Jim Power: The Lost Dimension in 3D, Sky Blazer and Cybernator for the SNES locally. Sky Blazer is totally awesome. Jim Power has the craziest parallax scrolling I've ever seen; It's nauseating and almost unplayable :-&. Supposedly it came with 3D glasses for added effect.

Did a little gaming today. Tried to test out some of my MGC haul along with some others I haven't played much.
Final Blaster - Pretty neat, not perfect, but not bad either Dragon Saber - Better than Dragon Spirit IMO Rabio Lepus Special - Couldn't really get into this one... Download - Absolutely AWESOME! A little hard though CD Denjin - Definitely NOT Air Zonk :( Browning - Ok, this one makes me mad... they lure you in with an awesome intro, awesome visuals, awesome sound... and what do you get?! HORRIBLE CLUNKY CONTROLS! AHHHHHH If feels like it could have been so awesome... then total failure :(

Download is def the gem in your list. It was the first PCE hu card I ever purchased (Spriggan was the first CD title and my first ever PCE game), and it will always remain in my collection. I haven't beaten it yet though. :)

Metamor is a neat game, but weird. (A shooter with no score counter, what?) Powerup system is annoying. Graphics are inconsistent, some levels look stunningly good, while others are very plain and drag on of too long. Certainly a unique game though, very different compared to most of the PCE shooter library.

Played Magical Chase for a while today (relax, I used a flash card). It's better than I usually give it credit for. It's a shame that it isn't more common.
I also played some Namcot Baseball 91. That game has the exact same music and sound effects as a baseball game on the NES, but I can't remember which one. RBI, maybe?
I got several new PCE games in the mail today, but I need more time to check them out.

I realized I suck at Metal Slug so I started practicing up on the first one. I finished with only using 22 continues first and then the next play through I went down to 14. Yeah I suck but just need to practice some more and maybe Ill get it down to only a few. Also got an arcade card duo from bmw the other day so now I can finally play my Sapphire. It's been said a billion times but man it's amazing what they did with the system in that game. It looks better than a lot of Saturn games.

Thunder Spirits (I guess it's the same as Thunder Force III for the Genny) reminds me a LOT of Gate of Thunder. I saw someone on the forums recently posted a YT video of a hacked version of GoT with some of the graphics replaced - I think I see now where those graphics came from. :)

I have Aria and Dawn of Sorrow on about equal terms. I like both of those games more than Symphony of the Night strangely enough.
I think the main thing (totally subjective) that prompts me to place Aria of Sorrow above Dawn of Sorrow is that I enjoy the characters & story in Aria more. A minor point for that kind of game, but it still makes a difference for me. What makes you like these games more the Symphony of the Night, if I may ask? ^^

Symphony of the Night while a bit longer than Aria and about the same size as Dawn of Sorrow is a bit less balanced. Alucard becomes far too powerful in SoTN to present any real challenge.
Soma is a much more balanced character, he has a more interesting variety of powers without being so unstoppable towards the end. Just on a side note, the characters in Aria and Dawn are basically the same cast, so I figure the story must be your reasoning.
I also think years of doing Metroidvania CVs gave Igarashi's team a better idea of what makes a good game. There's more personality to the envirionment in the "Of Sorrow" games than Sotn.
I really like the look of that one! It doesn't have analog sticks hiding on there somewhere, does it? If so, I'd consider replacing the standard controller for my GC games (having a touogh time in Metroid Prime 2 right now)....
No Analog sticks, it's D-pad only. The version of Metroid Prime 2: Echoes on Metroid Prime Triology has been fixed to be not so ridiculously difficult compared to the GameCube original.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: thrush on August 07, 2011, 04:40:34 PM
DragonmasterDan, you make some good points about SotN.
Regarding Aria vs Dawn, although most of the characters are the same they don't really act the same, Hammer & Yoko in particular; I also find Dario & Dmitri somewhat irritating. Perhaps I should have said "character interaction" instead of "characters". I think the script was more engaging in Aria even if the story is somewhat more complex in Dawn. I agree for the most part about the years of practice making the newstyle CVs better, and I completely support Igarashi for sticking to a tried-and-true formula. But, I think it has not been a strictly linear progression. For example, although I quite enjoyed Order of Ecclasia I still prefer either of the Of Sorrow games.
Perhaps what I really want is a game that feels like a true successor to Castlevania 2....
In related news, I *finally* beat the darn Alpha Blogg in Metroid Prime 2 today!

While I was out there I picked up Atomic Robo Kid and Castle of Illusion for the Genesis ($4 ea). Atomic Robo Kid kicks my ass right now, but I've been digging Castle of Illusion (again, it doesn't hurt to have a 3 year old present who is a wicked Disney fan).

I played through DC on my TE many times back in the day. I suggest scrolling through the characters of the password entry screen before playing and making a chart of similar looking characters, so you can swap in alternates of the most confusing characters if a password doesn't work.

Yeah this is the first Final Fantasy I've played and it really good, a typical turn based battle system and a good story.
I think the Final Fantasy games pretty much went downhill from here (though I think I'm in the minority).
I tried playing through FF 6 (3 on the SNES) and, while I know it is often considered the best in the series, it didn't hold my attention as much as IV (2 on the SNES). Same with FF7. I skipped FF8.
I really liked FF9 though. I'd definitely recommend that one.
I never finished FFX (though I have a save right near the end and keep thinking one day I'll go back and finish it). And I haven't played any of the other ones.

What a coincidence, I've been playing it on the GBA lately. :)
Yeah this is the first Final Fantasy I've played and it really good, a typical turn based battle system and a good story.
Since you enjoy it, I suggest trying Final Fantasy 5 and/or Final Fantasy 6. Five has a much more complex and customisable battle system while Six has a more nuanced and (IMO) intriguing story.

I played a little more into FF7 again today. (I've been playing off and on for the last few months) This will be my second playthrough. My first having been done back when the game first came out. Despite what the haters say its one of my favorites. Love the characters, love the story, and honestly love the battle / magic system plus all the other minigame type stuff you can do. I know the story had a pretty profound impact on me when I was 13. Yes the graphics have aged poorly, but they do have a certain flavor to them that I like. Like the way they made certain scenes blend from a prerendered background to a video... =P~ (examples being golden saucer tram... junon flightdeck elevator)
Anyways that's what I've been disobeying with this week!

Finished Pokemon Black & White. The battle system was surprisingly deep, but I found the story very bothersome. I'm still slogging through Metroid Prime 2. The further I get into this the more I like it. Some of the environments late in the game are really cool.
I agree with what you say about FF7, BMW: I think the materia-slot system has a great balance of flexibility & restrictiveness. I wish other equipment-oriented games would try something like that. I also really, really love how the minigames are integrated; feels like they grow naturally out of the role-playing (CPR scene, climbing the glacier, motorcycle escape, piloting the sub, the "slap fight").

Only Pokemon game I've played to completion was Pokemon blue on GB. I guess I've never liked the notion of having more than the original 151 creatures. That was enough for me to learn! I guess I should mention I also played Pokemon leaf green for a little while...

I've never played a Pokemon game, but I'd be interested in picking one up one of these days to see what all the hoopla was (is?) about.
I received the Genesis 6-Pak game in the mail today so played me a little Revenge of Shinobi and Streets of Rage (made it to the last level before running out of lives and didn't feel like continuing... so close!). Man, those games bring back memories. Will probably play some Golden Axe and Sonic 1 tonight. :) That cartridge is one of the best deals for the Genny, imo. I think I picked mine up for $7, and I think it can be had for less on ebay. Awesome!

I'll have to give Columns another shot - last time I tried playing it, I lost. And it pointed and laughed at me.
Well I played it again yesterday and did better that I had expected, but still got pointed and laughed at. :) I made it to the 4th level, which I think is farther than I've been before, but I bet true fans of the the game get quite a bit farther than that. ;)

Got Wings of Wor for the Genny in the mail yesterday - what a blast! Really enjoying that one. I'd never heard of it back in the day, only recently found out about it.
Also just got a free 7-day trial to revisit my World of Warcraft account. Woah, Cataclysm has changed things. Really digging this also, though I've done a few 7-day trials in the past and usually after 7 days I'm ready to put my character back to rest. :)
Of course, wouldn't you know it, as soon as I activate my 7-day trial we decide to take an impromptu RV trip for 3 days... No internet connection for 3 days. But RVing with the wife and kid pwns WoW any day. I get to increase my real fishing and cooking skills! :P

It wasn't on a console, but while we were out RVing I picked up "Forbidden Island" at a nearby game shop and we played it this evening. It was a real hoot! Here's a link to the game on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gamewright-317-Forbidden-Island/dp/B003D7F4YY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314503875&sr=8-1
It's a co-op game, is easy to learn, and the game is relatively quick (30 Minutes) which is a big bonus now that we have a 3 year old and are pretty wiped out after he goes to sleep. I've been a big fan of Euro-style board games (Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Java, etc) for a long time now and this one snuck up on me. It's great, and cheap.

You bet! I've played it a few more times since I posted and we've lost more than we've won, which makes for some crazy games. Really fun stuff.
I'd also recommend Castle Panic: http://www.amazon.com/Fireside-Games-1001FSD-Castle-Panic/dp/B002IUFSPM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314676379&sr=8-1
It's another really intense co-op board game. The goal is to keep a Castle from being overrun by hordes of monsters. It's a little higher on the nerd scale because of the D&D/LOTR-ish theme, but it is all sorts of fun. Games are still relatively quick (though a little longer than Forbidden Island - maybe 45 minutes) and it costs a little more (Looks like Amazon has it for about $25 shipped right now though it is probably a fair bit more at your local game store).

Post by: roflmao on September 06, 2011, 09:36:44 AM
Not at all. I feel like I'm burning out on it as well and I've only been playing it for about a week. Yet, every time I start it up I end up playing it way longer than I ought to. I think it has to do with that "Just one more quest" kind of gameplay. To me it feels very much like a stripped down FPS version of World of Warcraft - you've got different classes, endless quests and loot, different skill trees to develop your character, can be played co-op with a handful of buddies or solo, etc... It's a fun, mindless game. But I do see myself becoming tired of it (probably soon).

For something a little different I spent a good chunk of this evening playing this: (https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1L3sB8YlqRw/TmrI5eJb3DI/AAAAAAAADj0/hz7f6clLp3I/s800/001.jpg)
It's a Revell Proto CX. It's a re-branded one of these:
My wife got it for me over a year ago and I played the hell out of it until I got cocky and took it outside and crashed it hard into a tree, breaking the landing gear and fuselage. I finally got around to ordering replacement parts (glow-in-the-dark!) and got it up and running again and am having just as much fun as ever. Probably won't take it outside again though. :) The heli is so sensitive that it reacts differently when the AC kicks on in the house.

I recently rearranged my 8- and 16-bit systems so the NES, SNES, GENESIS and TURBOGRAFX-16 systems (+ others) were hooked up to my 27" tube TV. Previously I had a couple of those systems hooked up to the big-ass LCD in the living room, but they never looked right. So since everything is now being displayed properly on a tube TV, I went ahead and calibrated the TV again and went to town on old-school gaming goodness.
So to test the new setup, I played:
NES: Blaster Master, Gradius, Galaga Genesis: Steel Empire, Castle of Illusion SNES: Mega Man X, Gradius III, Pop'n Twin Bee, F-Zero TG-16: Galaga '90, OotG (since I put in OotG I really haven't played anything else)

Still grinding my way through Fire Emblem; it is a lot of fun, but so far much easier than expected. Kinda wondering if I should start over on the harder difficulty setting.... The units are all very distinct, which I like. Makes it easier for mere mortals such as myself to form coherent strategies.
Been having a hankering for some Mickey's Mousecapade...especially since I hear there may be a new one coming after almost a couple of decades.
Still my favourite Disney game, although clearly for nostalgic reasons as there are a lot of better ones. There's something about those bizarre, seemingly story-free old platformers that I love.
I downloaded that from GOG a while back. Great game, and to make things even better it's a free download!

It's not the worst FPS I've played in recent history, but you can definitely tell they've been working on this game for 12 years. I got a real bad bout of motion sickness about an hour into it, so I had to turn it off. I'll probably try to play it a bit more soon.

I went on a big Gradius kick today. Played a ton of the PC Engine version of Gradius II and the SNES version of Gradius III. In both games I made it farther than I have in the past.
In Gradius II I made it to the boss spaceship that shoots out missiles then shoots out a big blue laser. I wasn't expecting the laser so that killed me and it was pretty much game over after that.
In Gradius III I finally beat the third level boss! The fourth level boss was a cakewalk. Then level five beat me down. Then it pointed and laughed at me.

Yesterday I popped in Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the SNES and gave it some quality time. I've started it up a few times in the past but it never really caught, but yesterday it really sucked me in. I've collected the first pendant and am trying to figure out how to get the next one. I just got the gloves that lets me pick up rocks so I figure that will let me find an opening to reach the next pendant.
Also played a couple PS1 games this morning: Raiden Project and Parappa the Rapper. I haven't played either in ages and enjoyed both!
Oh, and I just beat Ys Book I for the trusty TG-16 (again)! Now I'm going to have to divide my time between Ys Book II and A Link to the Past...

Nice! I played a little Sonic Pocket this morning (...and I still suck at it. Level 7 is where I'm currently stuck). And I played a little Metal Slug on the NGPC last night. I don't know how far into that one I am, but it's probably not very far. Last night I made it past the section where your plane is shot out of the air and you have to skydive/parachute without being shot. It took a lot of continues to get past that spot!

I've been playing way too much Spyro the Dragon for the PS1 over the past couple of days. Man it's been ages since I last played this game and I had forgotten how much fun it is! It doesn't hurt that my 3yr old son is equally hooked to it. :D
Until recently I wasn't able to play PS1 games on my PS2. I have component cables (for the handful of PS2 games I own that support 480p/720p) and ever since I started using them, PS1 games would display an "Unsupported Format" type of error message on my TV. Well not too long ago I upgraded my home theater receiver to one that upconverts everything to 1080p (by default, but I can turn it off on a per-source basis) and sends everything out to my TV via a single HDMI cable. And poof! Now, I can play PS1 games on the PS2, and they look amazing! I hate to admit it, but I think they look better than my PS1 hooked up to my tube TV via S-video (though that still looks pretty good).

I have component cables (for the handful of PS2 games I own that support 480p/720p) and ever since I started using them, PS1 games would display an "Unsupported Format" type of error message on my TV. Well not too long ago I upgraded my home theater receiver to one that upconverts everything to 1080p (by default, but I can turn it off on a per-source basis) and sends everything out to my TV via a single HDMI cable. And poof! Now, I can play PS1 games on the PS2, and they look amazing! I hate to admit it, but I think they look better than my PS1 hooked up to my tube TV via S-video (though that still looks pretty good).
I've never had much luck trying to play PS1 games on an HDTV. I tried playing them via a PS1 over composite and s-video... awful. Then I tried the PS2 over component and turned on smoothing or whatever in the PS2... still bleh on some games. Finally I ran composite from the PS2 and tried some different modes on the TV and finally got it to look playable. The game in question was FF7, for some reason the background textures (during battles and whatever) just looked horrendous and had lines etc in it. So annoying :P

Beat Sonic Pocket adventure in two days, a little to easy with the level select code. Usually I'm all about saves and infinite continues but the game just went by too quick. Still really enjoyed it. I'll probably pick up Metal Slug or Dark Arms for my next Neo Geo Pocket game.
Nice! I played a little Sonic Pocket this morning (...and I still suck at it. Level 7 is where I'm currently stuck). And I played a little Metal Slug on the NGPC last night. I don't know how far into that one I am, but it's probably not very far. Last night I made it past the section where your plane is shot out of the air and you have to skydive/parachute without being shot. It took a lot of continues to get past that spot!
Are you talking about the water stage? I died a few times there but the airbase stage after that is a pain. Which game would you recommend Dark Arms or Metal Slug?

Well I haven't tried playing anything on the PS1 that's as graphically detailed as FFVII, but I have Legend of Dragoon on the way which is probably close. Parappa, Spyro and Jumping Flash 2 look pretty good on the HDTV, but I don't think those games attempt to be as graphically impressive as the FF games. They have simpler textures and lower polycount models, imo.

Yeah, I'm not really too sure where I was in the game. :) I hadn't played it in ages (probably years) and turned it on on a whim and pressed continue. My character had to skydive, timing a button press to open his parachute before plummeting to the ground, and at the same time moving all over the screen to avoid being shot down by some unseen gunfire. Once I made it past that level, I moved on to an area that had a lot of elevators and doors that lead to other sections of the level. Lots of tanks and baddies. I find it really hard to play that game on the NGPC, because I have to hold the console "just right". If I move it around too much while playing either I get a ton of glare for the lights in the room, or I can't see what's going on due to the relative small viewing angle. And I never got good with the little joypad. I find it's way to easy to press a diagonal direction when I really just want to move left or right. I have Pac Man for the NGPC and it's frustrating.

I've been making some pretty steady progress in Lego Battles lately and have started in on Last Remnant and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic both on my PC. I'm still plugging away at Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer trying to hit level 70 before the sequel releases (I'm at 68 now as of last night).

I picked up Star Wars KotoR back when it was released for the Xbox and loved it. Played through it all the way with both a light and dark character. And started it a few times, but probably never got more than halfway through with those characters. Then I got it for the PC when it was on sale through Steam for $2.50 and couldn't get past the first world. I don't know if it's the graphics (extremely dated on a modern PC) or if it's because Bioware has since come out with the Mass Effect series, which is VASTLY superior IMO (I'm currently playing through ME2 and it's AWESOME!), but KotoR just isn't holding my interest the way it once did. Which is too bad because I LOVED playing through it twice and most RPGs I play through (console or PC) don't keep me interested enough to finish even once.

Rockman Dash/Mega Man Legends 1 for the PS1. Again. I can't get enough of the mood in this game, clunky controls be damned :s Strangely enough, I almost think the PC version controlled better. (Which also would be the only thing in which it excels - higher res doesn't mean better graphics if D3D or whatever creates borders and and sharp edges around textures :> )

How close is the PCE version to the NES version? I have the NES version and am lucky to make it to level 2. :oops: But I haven't put any real quality time into it yet. I'm hoping to pick up the PCE version one of these days.
I just returned from a 2.5 day mini vacation camping in our RV with the wife and kid. I brought my Express along and played some Devil's Crush, Bomberman 93, Blazing Lazers, Galaga, Parasol Stars, and thanks to a chopsado Super Star Soldier, Final Soldier and Street Fighter 2 (for teh lolz - I don't know how anyone can play using Run as one of the punch/kick buttons and Select to switch between punches and kicks).

Short story: I was a fan of the second game, but the third episode was incredibly disappointing. I'm disheartened that the reviewers who actually expressed their disappointment got slammed by uber-fans who hadn't even played the game yet.

Homefront (X360). Picked it up on Black Friday when Best Buy had it for $15 (and further down the aisle used copies were selling for $35 #-o). It's another FPS, but it features good visuals, strong controls, varied missions, and an enjoyable story and setting. The story is pretty much an update of the '80s classic film Red Dawn, so it's no surprise that both the game and film were written by the same man (John Milius). The game is linear and short (finished it in about 6 hours), but worth picking up now that it's in the bargain bin.

agreed, it's on the short side, but i don't get why there was so much hate for it, i really enjoyed that one. in fact, i'd really only put it under killzone and resistance personally, as far as modern shooters

Spell Tower (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spelltower/id476500832?mt=8) - iPhone - I don't know why, but this game is wonderful. I am a huge fan of Scrabble/word games, though, so be forewarned. If you've ever played the timed modes in word games (aka Scrabble Blast), this game is a distant variation, but with very nice incentives to create sophisticated words (timed games tend to reward *any* word completed, even a long sequence of short 3-letter words. Spell Tower, however, forces you to create longer words as part of your core strategy: you gotta eliminate "black holes" and bonus tiles with strategically-placed, longer words).
ONE CAVEAT: This would be a perfect game, but the touch response needs to be tweaked. When crucial moves need to be performed before time runs out (mere milliseconds for me since I'm often digging myself out of a hole), I don't want to worry about the proper sequence of letters registering. I've never had this problem with an iOS game before...I hate to say it, but this game reminds me of some Android 2.3 games I've played (where the touch response was just slightly *off*). Anyway, I hope that the developer tweaks this. Then I will be in absolute heaven. Even with this flaw, this game still captivates me and is well-worth playing.

I think Word Fu might be another game for you to check out: it's like Boggle, but an "arcade" version with a highly polished theme (a Kung Fu theme seems cliche and hackneyed at this point , but it's so nicely polished that it is rather endearing).
Spell Tower and Word Fu are both highly addictive and you'll find yourself hitting "try again" compulsively (to best your top score).

I always liked the story of the first one. It was really great when the game first came out. It blew away the acting and writing of most any PS1 game up to 1999. MGS3 is still my favorite of them all.
Try out Twin Snakes on the Game Cube. A lot of people hate on it for the cut scenes but I don't see the real problem. I really like the fact it was completely redone with the MGS2 engine. More older 3D games should have remakes like this. Being able to use first person and shoot makes the game way more playable.

I played through MGS2 when it came out and didn't like that one as much as the first one. I haven't tried playing any of them since. I'll have to keep my eye out for the GameCube one.

Played a whole lot of BF3, really starting to like it - more fast paced than I expected. Finished the day with trying out Ghost in the Shell for PS1, which has been lying around on the shelf for too long. The game itself is mweh, and somehow my hands hurt but the cutscenes are so worth it. Oh yes. Why couldn't the movies look like this? :s
(Don't get me wrong tho', I like the first movie and the style that GitS: SAC has going on. Innocence however? Not a fan.)

It has the typical Lego humour.
I love all the Lego games by TT, they are structured almost perfectly for my tastes - not frustrating, easy to complete but lots of replay value to unlock all the extra stuff.

Finished Ghost in the Shell for PS1 yesterday, have a few cutscenes left to unlock tho', probably from the training mode.
Tonight I've yet again failed miserably at Avenger and trying my best to complete Browning - because I'm at level 5 now and I refuse to quit because I refuse to do it all over again. I want it over and done with, so I can put it back on the shelf where it belongs :p
Edit: Argh. Could not seem to beat the final boss. I've taken care of the first two phases but the last one, or what I assume is the last one, was really hard. Only reached him once tho'.

It wasn't on a console, but while we were out RVing I picked up "Forbidden Island" at a nearby game shop and we played it this evening. It was a real hoot! Here's a link to the game on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Gamewright-317-Forbidden-Island/dp/B003D7F4YY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314503875&sr=8-1
It's a co-op game, is easy to learn, and the game is relatively quick (30 Minutes) which is a big bonus now that we have a 3 year old and are pretty wiped out after he goes to sleep. I've been a big fan of Euro-style board games (Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Java, etc) for a long time now and this one snuck up on me. It's great, and cheap.
I wanted to give a quick update on this (non-video) game.
I've played this roughly a dozen times now, usually there's 3 or 4 of us playing. When I had initially posted, we won the first game and lost the next couple games. We went on to lose the next 5 or 6 consecutive games and I started to think it was a poor investment. Well, we've won the last 3 consecutive games, so now I'm really liking it. There's enough randomness to the game that it can be a cakewalk or extremely challenging. Careful strategy and teamwork go a long way. Games still last roughly 30 minutes, which I really like. Depending on the luck of the draw, though, the game can end very quickly with a loss.
I still highly recommend it. The link above still works and it's about $15. Considering how much use we've gotten out of it over the past few months, I'd say that's a steal.

Oh no! That doesn't sound good. That's one of my most-played Genesis games (though that mostly because I have a 3yr old obsessed with anything Disney). It's an awesome game and I've managed to make it to the final level, but I haven't beaten it yet. I was actually playing it some today.
I've also been playing a bunch of Deathsmiles on the Xbox360 (it's $15 at newegg.com - seriously, if you're into shmups check it out!) and some Turbo/PCE stuff: Spriggan, Star Parodier, Devils Crush, and Ys Book II.

Lately I've played a fair bit of Civilization IV and Diablo II on the PC. I haven't picked up Civ V yet and don't know that I will for awhile. Civ IV is just so much fun, when I can set aside enough time to enjoy it.
I played some Halo 3 the other day and lost interest in it pretty quickly. Which is a shame because I really enjoyed the first Halo.
Also played some of Master of Monsters on a Genesis emulator to take some screenshots and hopefully help work though the PCE version. Unfortunately, it seems the PCE version menu layout is quite a bit different... From what I played on the Genesis emulator the game is a blast!

Star Parodier will be the next game I pick up it just looks so fun. I've never really gotten into PCE games but this game look amazing.
Been playing Some Rondo of Blood thanks to Sadler, I'm on stage 5 and really enjoying it so far. I've also played some paper Mario on the N64. I'm gonna sound crazy but the paper Mario series (at least the first two) are my favorite RPGs of all time based purely on Nostalgia.

Civ IV is excellent, but Civ V is also great! They play quite a bit differently, so for me V will never replace IV. The way you do combat in V is a lot more tactical, not stack and smash like IV is. You're only allowed one military unit per hex (yeah its a hex based map instead of square) but units have ranged attacks etc. About my only gripe in V is the fact that you cant build a monster empire like you can in earlier games. Its just impossible to keep building cities because you cant support them. You can take over enemy cities without absorbing them into your empire, so that does work. Do pick up V though, its a very enjoyable game!
Oh and I played Neutopia on the TG16 (had to test out a booster plus) and some Modern Warfare 3 on the PS3.

Thanks for the info on V, Blue! I'm sure I'll pick it up off Steam during one of their crazy sales.

^ well like i have said a few times before. I play fighters at a competitive level. So my opinions are a little different than other people. I enjoy it because i feel the new systems they added, add to the competitive nature of fighting games. Theres a meter system that was added to the game. Theres also super moves that use 1 full meter (u can get a max of 2) and there are also EX moves that use a portion of your meter. So it adds a level of meter management that 3D fighters don't have
Also theres a new guard system that also uses some meter, and a parry type move that uses no meter but is very frame specific. All these features add to the the game, and make it better for competitive players. But at the end of the day, its still soul calibur, and you can have great fun just playing casually.

Well, if you're enjoying Fusion, and you liked the original NES Metroid, you should definitely pick it up. It's basically a GBA rehash of the original story. I personally liked it better than Fusion, but most people seem to prefer it over Zero Mission. Still worth a play, though. :D

I already had Jewel Man & Galaxy Man beat but this game sort of reminded me that without save states, I suck. :x Though, with a little help of a boss-order guide I made it all the way to the Wily stages : ) Actually got to Wily stage 2 but saw that I should've farmed more lives & M-tanks before trying my hand at that...basically was on my way of getting stuck thanks to weapon energy running out but ran out of lives before that...

Hahahahaha. I'm sorry, but this reminds me of the early 90's, here in the States, when the Super Nintendo port of Mortal Kombat featured "sweat" instead of "blood".
Still, it really doesn't matter. If the game itself is compelling, you'll be just as satisfied with gray sweat (or green apple juice, for Sweden). (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgRT.png)

Just played the Rez HD demo on the 360...ohhh man, I gotta get this game.
on 360 you can get it on disc, it also comes with lumines and E4, i think the compilation was called Qbed. i think it's like 10-15 used, totally worth it. on a related note, try Child of eden, very similar, updated graphicy stuffs, worth at least a look, though i would say Rez is a little better.

Ridge Racer Vita. I don't understand all the shit this game is getting? People love to copy paste reviews all over the net and hop on bandwagons just to get hits on their site. Most probably haven't even really tried to play the game. I have 58 music tracks, free gold pass to play online, now 8 cars and 5 tracks. That's more tracks than the first 3 Ridge Racer games ever had. New updates are coming and are still free for people that have recently purchased the game. It looks amazing, even if it's not exactly 60 fps. I have fun with it, but then again my favorite racer is Ridge Racer 1. Ridge Racer will always be a game most casual gamers will dismiss as a "why is this not like GT?"

You're supposed to hold start+select on controller 2 when starting the game to unlock this... problem is saturn controllers have no select button. :-k
Anyone knows the trick for the saturn version?

Have you tried the 32xCD titles like Supreme Warrior, Farenheit, and Zombie Killers? hahah, the video window is a little bigger and at least the FMV is alot more colorful and crisp then say....SewerShark for regular SegaCD, ugh...

Its a 3d space shooter that actually looks pretty good and is not boring. Theres quite a variety of objectives in each mission and lots of different enemies / objects. The difficulty is a bit high but all in all not bad. Overall its good, but not $500 good.

It's an action RPG and every enemy you kill gives you evolution points to make your creature stronger. I highly recommend it, very unique.

I've been playing some Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles lately. Just finished the first year this morning. It's growing on me. I wish the multi-player portion of the game could be played without all the extra hardware; requiring GC-GBA Link Cables and GBAs for each player is pretty retarded.
I enjoyed Crystal Chronicles and thought the ending was pretty good. I've never tried it multiplayer, despite having the gear for it.
I've recently been working on a refresher of the Tex Murphy series, on Pandora Directive now.

beat patapon today, I love this game! Also played extra inning baseball on the SNES. I played two games with my brother and kicked his ass in both. This is by far my favorite sports game, I was shocked to find a baseball game that didn't suck ass.

Last few weeks, I beat Ys Books 1 and 2 and Exile. Exile was okay. The game was fun/easy, but in the end, was uninspiring storywise.
Hooked my jvc x'eye back up and was playing a little of Popful Mail. Man, this game is hard.

Really? I always thought that Exile had a pretty cool story, just the fact that it takes place in the middle east is pretty unique.
The Japanese version's story is much more interesting.

I've been meaning to get around to Exile one day. Is the story in the English version really changed that much? I was under the impression it was a fairly accurate translation but with some censored words, like religious terms, etc.

How is the new PSO? I've seen some trailers but I'd rather hear from someone who actually tried it. :P
I've played a bit of the original (on pc, not online) and the later PSU games on PS2 & PSP (also a little on the DS). It never really clicked with me in the end, but it's always been easy for the series to drag me in. I guess I just dig the visuals and character customization options. I realized when I played PS Portable 2 that slight gameplay improvements had been made, but many of the things I felt was wrong deep down with the game was still there.
For example, the feeling of disconnection between the story they're trying to tell (cutscenes and all) and the actual missions you do. Not to mention dull level design. Basically just a number of rooms or areas connected together with doors, a maze if you will. Maybe sometime you need to find a switch to press. The enviroments always look good, but you don't actually get to go anywhere interesting, just study it from afar. Now, Monster Hunter also divides a bigger area into smaller ones but that's OK because each area of the map is (more or less) unique, with different terrain and atmosphere.

very action orientated and more faster action / arcadey than the original. Quite a bit of customisation and from what I have heard no monthly fees although you can bet some stuff will require real life money in order to be purchased.
Lots of menus and stats to look at too and there are tonnes of quests on there.. all in japanese right now..
Right now it's like a mixture of phantasy star universe and the original phantasy star online.. At first I thought it was your typical generic anime looking mmorpg but I am starting to like the look.

you can try... There is about 4~5 hours worth of game to download.. and once that has downloaded there is another 3gig of data to further download for patching...

Lollipop Chainsaw! I first saw this game and was like "this is going to be f*cking stupid". Then I saw the company that made it. Checked out some videos and thought it looked like fun. I got it and holy hell I love it. It's been a long long time since I've gotten into a next gen console game. It's so over the top that I really really love it. You can tell it's made by a group that just loves old school games, zombies, gore, and T&A. Tons of fun.

ME2 has a lot more polish but I still prefer ME1 for the story and exploration. ME3 is a fine game and strangely I do actually like the final ending.. but because it didn't go well with everyone they had to remake the ending which you should be able to download.. I got it sitting on my 360 hard drive but yet to replay that last bit..

Beaten Power Strike II (GG Aleste II) three times now. Once on easy, twice on normal. It's not an especially hard game, especially if you use napalm, but it's still quite challenging & fun.
[EDIT] Just beat it on mania. Napalm really makes this game beatable. Notice I didn't say easy. :lol: Then again, I'm not very good at video games.

I love me some Smash TV on SNES. I feel it's better than the arcade version, especially in the music department. Even with some of the violence taken out I feel it's a better game than the arcade. Also playing it on the controller feels a tad easier, but I haven't played Smash TV in the arcade for well over 22 years. Playing it in mame just isn't the same. I will always pick up Smash TV and play it on my SNES.
I am currently playing nothing atm. Sadly I've been to busy as of late. Last time I even played a video game was last week. That was Ys Chronicles 1&2 on my Vita.

The music would be better if the instruments were better. The fake guitars and trumpets are quite disturbing.
Yeah, I never much cared for the "rock" synthesis on the SNES (compare the SNES version of Desert Strike to the Genesis version, you'll see what I mean.) The SNES does better on orchestral tracks.

How is it? From the screenshots I've seen it seems to look like a portable version of 6/7.
I love it! It has a couple tracks from those games and a couple new ones. There's also about 93 music tracks. The game is more of a play online kind of game now. There's no real 1 player mode where you unlock stuff. You can race in single player against cars to gain levels and points. Points allow you to unlock extra abilities for you car. The game looks amazing, but it's not always 60 fps. I still love it and rock it every now and then, and I was a day one buyer. I beat the Devil car a couple months back. Now I'm working on beating the Angel car. Racing online can get kinda hard to find a person that's your level. Level 16 is the highest and I've been stuck at level 11 forever. I don't know what I need to do to gain a higher level. I unlocked all the car upgrades and beat people online in races. Still stuck at 11. If you're a huge fan of the first Ridge Racer I think you'll like this version. I say that because of content. There's quite a bit more than the first RR game, but nothing like 6/7.
Munchiaz, Akai Katana is great! I finally got used to the system. Took some practice, but it's a great game. It's nice to see some more Cave and "real" shooters make it state side.

I've been playing Final Fantasy III on the SNES a lot lately. It's one of those games I've tried a few times in the past to get into, but it never clicked with me. When Final Fantasy II was released a friend let me borrow it and I *LOVED* it. It's still one of my favorite CRPGs that I play through every 5 or 6 years (but wish it was more frequent). The same friend let me borrow Final Fantasy III bitd and I didn't get into it. When the Anthology was released for the PS1 I tried again and it just didn't click. And there have been a couple of times I've tried playing the rom of it, but I generally don't enjoy playing on an emulator so Im' not surprised that helped sway my impression of the game.
However, I recently found it at a local used-stuff store for $7 or $8 and figured I'd be an idiot to not give it another shot at that price.
I. Am. Loving. It.
I'm only about 8 hours in, but the whole death train section was brilliant, as was the forest area before it. And being able to choose what order to follow different story threads was awesome. I just hope I can stay the path and finish this one. I honestly had to play the game for a couple of hours to get past the humdrum that I never got through before, but it has really gripped me. I feel like I should be playing it right now instead of sitting at the computer.

I've conquered Castlevanias 1-4, Dracula X, Bloodlines, SotN, and Castlevania Chronicles on the Playstation. I got really far in Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness on N64 too, but never finished it off. :(
Yea, play 'em all, conquer 'em all!!
Recently, we sat down and played around with the Sega CD. A few hours of FLINK (Neat game!), Batman Returns, and of course the necessary FMV cheesiness that you must play when toying with the SEGA CD> Sewer Shark and WireHead!! LOL
Good times, but I'm sure Necro will have my head for foregoing precious time I could have been working on Emerald Dragon for that DAMNED FEKA CD!! 8-[
This man has a chest of a grizzy bear. I've beaten 1,4, and X

Just spent about an hour alternating between Thunder Blade and Fantasy Zone on the PC Engine. Thunder Blade is actually really enjoyable compared to the Master System & "Super" Genesis versions. Fantasy Zone is fun & looks great, but for some reason I don't like it as much as the Famicom version (maybe because that's the version I played first?)

Finally beat Rockman Dash 2 earlier, after a bit too much time spent grinding. It's really not a game in which you need to grind, under normal circumstances. But if you, like me, want to upgrade the laser weapon to the max (and get a decent amount of extra health packs) you are looking at bringing together some 4500 000 - 5000 000 zenny. :|
Now I'm just grabbing stuff from my pile of unplayed games that looks interesting. Just tried out Gakuensai for the PS1, one of those dating sims. It's weird how things always ends up for me in these kind games. The "cover girls", so to speak, are always uninteresting and designed for wide appeal so I always end up chasing after the hard to get types (like, non social character - doesn't want to talk to you) and by the time we get to engage in some kind of meaningful communication, I've already managed to attract the attention of one of the other girls which I'm not at all interested in - date events and all that. :-k
...hm, it's hard to talk about that kind of game without feeling like an "forever alone" waiting to happen :lol:

Volcano area is a pretty great place to level up and farm especially if you have unlocked the free roam areas. Also you may run into a map that has 3 different bosses fighting each other and then you !!

Lightening Force/Thunder Force IV is brilliant all around, but it is a tough one. You don't dodge attacks as they're coming at you so much as you make sure you're well out of the way before they even start. In other words, you gotta memorize everything.
The chiptunes are awesome. Number 4 and 10 of the Omake tracks are really good, so don't miss them.

Been playing Sunsoft's After Burner II on the Famicom. People rag on this port, but I think it's absolutely brilliant considering the hardware. The music's kickass, the graphics are presentable (if bland), and the neat refueling sequences are there (Hang-On motorcycle and Out Run Ferrari included!) as are the voice synthesis and the "after burners". It can be a really, really fun game if you can get past the choppy scrolling (which isn't even really a problem when you've got the throttle wide open :D )

I've been playing 1941, alternating between MAME and the Supergrafx version.
It's funny, but I kind of like the Supergrafx version more. Sure, the resolution is way reduced and the difficulty dialed down, but there's a special difference between the two.
The arcade version is at best a game that demands mastery, and at worst a quarter muncher. The SGX version, on the other hand, is modified to be more playable. It's pretty clear that when they ported it, they wanted it to be something that typical action gamers could beat.
While I have no problem with difficult games, I think their attempt to make a moderate console action game turned out better than their attempt to make a really tough arcade game.
I'll have to play them more to see if this impression is really accurate. If only there was some way to get rid of that beeping noise when your health gets low...

I can't comment on the SUPAGRAFX port because I haven't really played it.
HOWEVER, I will use your post to go off on a rant. I don't know, I just feel like ranting! HERE GOES...
I hear you, SamIAm. I have no problem with challenging games, but many ports are more enjoyable because they were CONSOLIZED and thus designed with FUN CHALLENGE in mind (instead of MAXIMUM PROFIT motive of quarter munching).
Not to go off on a rant, but this shows how the arcade, in some ways (OH IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS) was not the ideal platform for many games. I much prefer the CONSOLE PHILOSOPHY to games, and not the QUARTER-MUNCHING PHILOSOPHY. They are both commercial ventures, of course, but with very different business models.
The Quarter-Munching Approach still exists today, sadly, in many so-called "Freemium" games that essentially function as "pay to continue" since progressing without paying is ONEROUS.
I haven't really developed this rant yet, and I actually love a ton of arcade quarter-munchers, so I guess I am really FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY on quarter-munchers that are cheap (unfair) or SO CONTRIVED that the goal of maximizing profit is THINLY VEILED.
Unless you are on-the-spectrum/autistic, you tend to appreciate the consolized approach (plus, a good developer could always include adjustable difficulty for the TRU HARDKORE).
[/rant]
DISCLAIMER: I actually play a lot of very difficult games. Sadly, I am not on-the-spectrum, so it takes a lot of time/energy to slowly improve my skills. I like this (the process is enjoyable, I'll admit it), but I do get irked when I feel that QUARTER-MUNCHING is driving 99% of the design of a game (instead of creative level design/AI driving design).

I totally agree that the pressure to be profitable has perverted many an arcade game's design. But by the same token, can we not say that many console games have been similarly plagued by the need to make them cost-effective in terms of hours played for people paying $50 per game?
Overall, though, I'd say that yes, the console is the better place to find more thoroughly enjoyable challenges and learning curves. It's nice to play something and feel like you can do it. Arcade games have that issue where, besides taking your money, they often leave you feeling down because you think you're just never going to figure out how to beat it.
Of course, then there's the triumph of actually beating it, but how often does that actually happen? Maybe I'm just not hardcore enough.

I picked up Sigma Star Saga for the GBA a couple of days ago and it's been a roller coaster ride of fun and frustration lately. I like it enough to keep playing, but I'm not too sure it'll last.
It's a pretty novel game mechanic, though. It's a shmup-RPG hybrid. Instead of turn-based group battles found in most RPGs, your character jumps into a random spaceship and plays though a random mini shmup level (10-15 seconds long, like most standard RPG battles). Unfortunately, most ships are absurdly slow and some of the larger ships jump into levels where there is no way to shoot down oncoming enemies because you'll hit the wall before your weapon is in range to hit them. If this game had a little more thought put into it, it could have been epic. I'm only a couple of hours into it and I have a feeling I'll put in at least another couple more, but I bet I'll move on before even getting close to finishing it.
Also, I spent a good chunk of this afternoon playing R-Type Final on the PS2.
I picked it up for a couple of bucks back when my local GameStop was clearing out its PS2 inventory but couldn't get into it back then. I've been thinking about it lately so I popped it in again and really enjoyed it. There are so many ships to unlock. And it does a great job of paying tribute to the original. Level 3 is a gigantic ship, for example. If you like R-Type on the Turbo/PCE and have a PS2, I'd definitely recommend hunting this down for under $5. Having a separate button for rapid fire and for the charged blast is almost worth it alone. :)

Most of my free time has been going to Monster Hunter 3 ultimate on the Wii U. I played tri for a bit, but not long enough to truly experience a MH game. I'm having a blast with MH 3U, either playing solo, or playing online with friends. It reminds me a lot of demons souls, in the way you fight monsters. Last night, me and a friend took down the first dragon, Rathian. It took about 15- 20 minutes, and it was so much fun. Ended up cutting off his tail as well during the battle. I def recommend it to Wii U owners and 3DS owners.

So yesterday I tried a homebrew NES game called Mario Adventure and it's very impressive. It's a rom hack of SMB 3, but "rom hack" isn't really the right term for it because they redid EVERYTHING. Graphics, levels, powerups, you name it. Because they give you infinite lives and infinite time, the designers felt free to make the game extra challenging. However, unlike Kaizo Mario and other such hacks, here the challenge is actually fair, so while you might fail at a level fifteen times, you'll eventually get it. If you've never heard of this one, I highly recommend checking it out.

But this time i fought it and w whooped its ass. I truely think it has to do with me playing on a new TV. o beat the butterfly you hve to dodge its attack at the right moment. The first time i played the game i played on a HD TV that was a bit laggy. This time i played on my ASUS monitor and had no issues dodging

That's on my list, after owning a Wii for years I finally got more than Zelda games for it. About halfway through Arc Rise Fantasia right now. Pretty good game, but the best feature is the super fast load times so grinding WP is sooo easy when you're in and out of a battle in seconds.

Been playing alot of Pandora's tower on the Wii. About 17 hours in so far. Pretty cool blend of adventure RPG/dating sim. Story is pretty interesting as well. I do hate the fixed camera angle though

Yeah i beat Pandoras tower a few weeks ago. Awesome game, just gotta make sure you get the best ending. Also Arc rise Fantasia is a game i still need to get. i passed it up at a gamestop a few months back and have yet to see it in the wild again

Spent a little bit of time playing Thunder Spirits on the SNES, then Thunder Spirits III, then Gate of Thunder on the almighty Duo! Those three games are like freaky cousins or something. It feels like GoT (Not Game of Thrones!) is the natural evolution of Thunder Force III/Thunder Spirits - then they went somewhere completely different with Thunder Force IV (Lightening Force). Which was still good (great!), just different.

That's some nice play time. I love Thunder Force III. Thunder Spirits is a nice arcade port, even with the slowdown. I like Thunder Force IV as well. Graphically it's better, but it doesn't play as well. It's also a shit ton harder with a super huge hit box.

I like TFIII more than IV as well, but that's mostly because it's so hard from the get-go. I bet if I spent more time with it, I'd appreciate it more.
I agree that the SNES port is underrated. It gets a lot of flak because it can't compare to the Genesis version when they are playing side-by-side, but the SNES version is still tons of fun. Thanks to the Easy game mode I'm able to experience far more of the levels than TFIII. :)

STATUS: I spent 3-4 hours playing Turrican because I wanted to play something that has haunted me for decades (only a few games have managed to do this, such as Athena NES, that Pitfall game on NES, etc. etc.)
Anyway, I always go back to these games to see if I can finally "break through" to a new point. I've come close to beating Pitfall NES (it's like training for a marathon, and I have to relearn stuff, but I usually remember). However, Athena just kills me...though I still have fun trying to get somewhere.
Anyway, I never much liked Turrican TG-16, but I thought that I would have a change of heart once I "made some progress"...I WAS WRONG. My thoughts are posted in the other thread (Rover's play through video).
Pitfall (whatever!) NES is infinitely more fun, engaging and enjoyable to me (sure it is frustrating, too), but Turrican TG-16 is banal, lackluster and simply fails to pique my interest. For example, I actively WANT to progress in Pitfall NES, but I don't have 1/10 of the same desire to do so in Turrican, despite the fact that they are not as different as you might think. Seriously.

I've been playing 1941, alternating between MAME and the Supergrafx version.
It's funny, but I kind of like the Supergrafx version more. Sure, the resolution is way reduced and the difficulty dialed down, but there's a special difference between the two.
The arcade version is at best a game that demands mastery, and at worst a quarter muncher. The SGX version, on the other hand, is modified to be more playable. It's pretty clear that when they ported it, they wanted it to be something that typical action gamers could beat.
While I have no problem with difficult games, I think their attempt to make a moderate console action game turned out better than their attempt to make a really tough arcade game.
I'll have to play them more to see if this impression is really accurate. If only there was some way to get rid of that beeping noise when your health gets low...
I can't comment on the SUPAGRAFX port because I haven't really played it.
HOWEVER, I will use your post to go off on a rant. I don't know, I just feel like ranting! HERE GOES...
I hear you, SamIAm. I have no problem with challenging games, but many ports are more enjoyable because they were CONSOLIZED and thus designed with FUN CHALLENGE in mind (instead of MAXIMUM PROFIT motive of quarter munching).
Not to go off on a rant, but this shows how the arcade, in some ways (OH IT PAINS ME TO SAY THIS) was not the ideal platform for many games. I much prefer the CONSOLE PHILOSOPHY to games, and not the QUARTER-MUNCHING PHILOSOPHY. They are both commercial ventures, of course, but with very different business models.
The Quarter-Munching Approach still exists today, sadly, in many so-called "Freemium" games that essentially function as "pay to continue" since progressing without paying is ONEROUS.
I haven't really developed this rant yet, and I actually love a ton of arcade quarter-munchers, so I guess I am really FOCUSING SPECIFICALLY on quarter-munchers that are cheap (unfair) or SO CONTRIVED that the goal of maximizing profit is THINLY VEILED.
Unless you are on-the-spectrum/autistic, you tend to appreciate the consolized approach (plus, a good developer could always include adjustable difficulty for the TRU HARDKORE).
[/rant]
DISCLAIMER: I actually play a lot of very difficult games. Sadly, I am not on-the-spectrum, so it takes a lot of time/energy to slowly improve my skills. I like this (the process is enjoyable, I'll admit it), but I do get irked when I feel that QUARTER-MUNCHING is driving 99% of the design of a game (instead of creative level design/AI driving design).

the souls games are far from JRPG's. Yes they are made by from software, but they play more like a western RPG, but way f*cking better. I honestly think dark souls is a better game, but I'm glad i experienced demons souls before hand. The issue is that to fully appreciate the games you have to beat them a few times. Once you beat these games once, it makes the play through a lot faster. i have heard of people beating dark souls in a few hours.
So based on that, its really up to you. I think both games are amazing, and some of the best games made this generation for sure. If you have the time play demon's souls first. If you don't think you have the time for both, play dark souls.

Started playing Shin Megami Tensei : IV this past Tuesday. Last time i really played a SMT game was persona 1, also i played devil survivor on the DS. So far SMT IV is great. ive gotten about 20 hours in so far, and the story, characters, and atmosphere is really engrossing. Game is pretty hard and i have died countless times, but the battle system is really strategic, and usually you lose because of one mistake that just snowballs, but that can also work in your favor.
The battle system work like this: you have a set number of turns, you can increase those turns by getting critical hits, or hitting a enemy with an attack or speel that they are weak to, such as bufu (ice attack) The same battle system also works for the demons you encounter as well, hence the snowball effect. A battle can become hopeless or hopeful at the blink of an eye, and thats what makes it really intense and enjoyable.

I used to rip this game a new one on my old DOS machine bitd. DOSBOX unfortunately has enough stutter to make it tough to play this on my current pc at higher difficulty levels.

Putting in a bit of time with Demon's Blazon on the Super Famicom. Great game but they should have made it so that you can change form/abilities on the fly rather than having to do it in the pause menu.

The IDOLM@STER 2 (PS3 version) and this game is really dangerously absorbing. It's not so much the idol thing, or the little girls thing, really, it's the management aspect, the rhythm based gameplay and the "just one more week"-aspect (game progresses in weeks). Oh and the music's pretty sweet too.
Can't really seem to raise my sales much but I'll be darned if I can't get another memory level in order to get an extra points boost "appeal" to tear down the rivals voltage gauge in the upcoming duels...

I've been playing Earthbound a ton lately as well! It's quickly becoming my favorite game for the console. I can't stop playing it. I'm impressed a game this quirky ever made it to the states on the snes. My characters are lvl 50-something and the game is still entertaining.
I did take a break from EB one day to play through Mysterious Song. I made it to the final boss in one sitting (3-4 glorious hours), and then lost to him and didn't want to tackle the entire tower over again (probably 45 minutes without a chance to save) so I turned it off. The next day, my TG-CD wouldn't spin. I can't play ANY CD games with it now. I've never had any problems playing CD games (legit or burned) and now it won't even spin up. As much as I enjoy Mysterious Song, I probably won't play it again. (once I get the drive repaired) :(

Five hours in, I'm really enjoying myself. I might make a thread about this game later. It's got everything I like about Japanese games: It's colorful, it's light-hearted, the action is good, and the music is catchy.

10 hours into Majou to Hyakkihei.
This game is nuts. It really makes me wonder how they're going to approach localizing it. I've even started keeping a list of some of the most cracked out lines.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The story begins as a psychopathic witch named Metarika, who lives in a psychedelic green swamp out in the middle of nowhere, revives a long-dead spirit to do her bidding. You play as the one she revived, a kind of zombie-knight, and you help her fulfill her plan to turn the entire world into a swamp. Though you never play as the witch (so far, anyway), she's essentially the main character. The knight does exactly what she orders him to, and he never speaks. The witch can even talk to you telepathically no matter where you are.
Here's one of the weirder moments, and bear in mind, I'm still in the first of the game's five chapters.
Next to the swamp is a forest, and in that forest is another witch. For various reasons, you wind up fighting this witch as one of the first bosses. Metarika has been hell-bent on killing her for a long time, it seems.
When you beat her, there's a dramatic scene where the witch tearfully confesses that she's Metarika's mother. Metarika delights in not giving a damn, and kicks her in the chest. But right when she's about to finish her off, she stops, and turns her into a rat instead.
Then she summons three male rats. She says "Have fun, guys! I can't wait to meet my rat siblings!" and she walks away.
Cue the next scene, where Metarika is in her house enjoying a feast celebrating her victory. Her servant brings in the next course, and guess what? It's fried rat. Female rat, says the servant, and he explains that he plucked it away from three male rats, and that it looked like they had all been fighting.
Metarika eats the rat.

I am currently replaying Tales of Vesperia along with Animal crossing. When I first played Vesperia back in 2008 I just thought this was a good game. On 2nd time round I think its perhaps one of the best JRPGs this gen. I don't usually like the tales games and certainly don't like the character designs but these are great anime looking with the cel shading.

This game is nuts. It really makes me wonder how they're going to approach localizing it. I've even started keeping a list of some of the most cracked out lines.
SPOILERS AHEAD
The story begins as a psychopathic witch named Metarika, who lives in a psychedelic green swamp out in the middle of nowhere, revives a long-dead spirit to do her bidding. You play as the one she revived, a kind of zombie-knight, and you help her fulfill her plan to turn the entire world into a swamp. Though you never play as the witch (so far, anyway), she's essentially the main character. The knight does exactly what she orders him to, and he never speaks. The witch can even talk to you telepathically no matter where you are.
Here's one of the weirder moments, and bear in mind, I'm still in the first of the game's five chapters.
Next to the swamp is a forest, and in that forest is another witch. For various reasons, you wind up fighting this witch as one of the first bosses. Metarika has been hell-bent on killing her for a long time, it seems.
When you beat her, there's a dramatic scene where the witch tearfully confesses that she's Metarika's mother. Metarika delights in not giving a damn, and kicks her in the chest. But right when she's about to finish her off, she stops, and turns her into a rat instead.
Then she summons three male rats. She says "Have fun, guys! I can't wait to meet my rat siblings!" and she walks away.

Female rat, says the servant, and he explains that he plucked it away from three male rats, and that it looked like they had all been fighting.
Metarika eats the rat.
You had me at "fried rat mother"...
The only thing I can say is that this game certainly delivers when it ones to characterizing the "quirks" of the protagonist.

Been playing through Skies of Arcadia on Dreamcast. (Dont get me started on that shameful port to the Gamecube...) I forgot exactly how long the game was. I'm 45 hours in and finally getting to the end stretch. I guess the last time I fully played through it was back in high school around when the game came out. I cant believe how much of it I had forgotten! Easily one of my top three favorite console games.
I'd love it if they'd HD remake this one, though honestly it still looks fantastic on the Dreamcast.

I've been playing Fallout New Vegas and I am LOVING it! Seriously, this has to be one of the most awesome games I've ever played. I'll be sad to see it end. Fortunately, since there's so many different paths and sidequests, I can start a new game after I finish and do something different. And then there's the DLC, but I'll have to pick up the Ultimate Edition for that.

I used to kick this games butt as a kid. Beat it and all , it was an epic ending that said "To be continued"
Today I got in some good tough games in on NFL2k5 (last one they made) in franchise mode. Very tight close games. I only have two QBs due to salary cap issues, and my backup got injured and my starter is a running QB so I put him in danger of being injured all the time. Last season I ended up 14-2 , this new season Im 3-0 so far. Have yet to have a perfect season (I dont cheat or restart games). Im on Franchise season 2020. No real players remain in the NFL. Its my own little "fantasy league" . After 10 years, NFL2k14 will return!!! SEX

PCE Ninja Warriors ain't all that bad, in fact it's fun when you play it properly. I know the controls feel weird, but you'll get past that when you learn when to block, when to flip, and study bosses patterns.

Not a ps1. A PSX. PS1's don't have an xmb :)
As for advantages, aside from cleaning up the composite and making it look nicer on my lcd, there are all the benefits that the PSX naturally offers.

No, not PS1, PSX: the PS2 + DVR Japan exclusive... (there's nothing wrong in calling the PS1 PSX like some morons on the internet like to argue, though. The PS1 project was known as PS-X before international release). I'd imagine that you can record playthroughs with it.

Skyrim on the PC - holy moly, I have a hard time pulling myself away from this one. I'm currently lvl 48 and have gone through (I think) most of the storyline, but I keep finding interesting things to do. I've never played a game quite like this before.
Final Fantasy IX (PS1) - I haven't played though this in years (8 or 9) and it's been a blast playing through it again with my 5yr old. He's been gripped to the story, which has kept me going, though he's not a big fan of the grinding. Which I do a lot of. We're currently nearly 50 hrs into it and (I think) about to hit disc 4.

FFIX is on my backlog actually... And because I was tempted after I bought my PS2 and FFX, I skipped forward and played that. Last PS1 FF game was FF8 and I logged about 100 hours on that, maxed everybody out to just crush it with ease. I know 8 is hated, but I didn't really have much of a problem with it. It's different, but it was a FF.

I played a fair amount of FFX as well (who wouldn't - it was FF and next gen graphics!) but I think FFIX has so much more soul to it. About the same time I started playing FFIX again, I also started playing FFX, and that got dropped after <5 hrs. I gave it a good chance, but it just didn't captivate me like IX did. IX feels like a real throwback to the SNES days, with PSX graphics and the occasional cutscene.

I don't think a appreciated FFIX when i first played it. Mostly because i didn't play the classic ones at that time. But looking back on it, it is a real throwback to the classic SNES FF games. One of these days i will play through it again. As far as FFX goes, it is the last realy FF game i played, and i really liked it. So i'm looking forward to the HD remaster version on ps3

Maybe it's because I now have a little one who enjoys watching me play as much as I enjoy playing it. I can't believe they've come out with two sequels since this one. This one looks, sounds, and plays amazing.

All the Necromancers are dead. I just run through the beginning part of the catacombs. I die once i get to the point where its completely dark. I have the light helmet so sight is not an issue. Its just those giant skeleton dogs man.
I want to beat the game a few times before dark souls II comes out. I can't wait got the collectors edition pre ordered

Try using a spell that's fire based or weapon.Other being,try baiting there attack and dodge right away.Blocking there attack doesn't do much good even if the shield is 100%.Oh btw i sent you a friend request on the wii u awhile back,nickname is TRON72.

As you might be able to see from my Backlog sig, I just finished The Mafat Conspiracy tonight, woo! Right now I'm working on Equinox/Solstice II on the SNES, on the sixth area (Egyptian-themed world). So far it's tough as shit.

Nito isn't hard to solo stay in the front of the room.Just kill the smaller skeletons,do not go to the back other wise you will get the giant skeletons attention.Other then that get ready to dodge when you hear a scream.

agreed. it's really personal preference between the two, but i like LA2 a lot better than LA1.
I like LA2 more than LA1, LA1 felt pretty clunky to me personally, Idk. Right now, Equinox (made a thread about it and its predecessor earlier) and I'm more than halfway done with the Ghost Ship. Might get some Flashback time in later as well as try to grab the 5th medallion for Neutopia. :)

As far as my play style in demon's souls, i dont even remember. But in dark souls i was a rouge that mainly used a Simitar, or a lightening spear. I also used a little pyromancey

Nito and four kings are down. Now im stuck on Gwyn. Can't seem to beat this guy. I don't have iron flesh, wish i did
Well if you don't want it easy,Gwyn can be parry.I use to defeat Gwyn the hard way when i found out you could parry him it made the fight really easy.By the way other check out dark souls DLC ?
Yeah i think i will download the DLC. i just started my NG+, does the DLC add on to that?
The Dark Souls DLC adds more boss fights,weapons and another area to explore.
Spent all my free time yesterday enthralled by dark souls lore videos put together by vaati vidya and epicnamebro. The story is amazing. one of the best i have gone through in video games. Ill be getting the DLC today after work and school.
epicnamebro,good guy there his video's for dark souls are very informative.Hmm,maybe i should fire up the game again soon and go with a dex build.
My build is basically DEX. I think for Dark Souls II I will create a Str. build. I wanna wiled big axes and swords
The tank build id you go that route :wink:
Indeed. Im pretty excited for Dark Souls II. Do you play on ps3,360, or PC?
PS3 and i all ready have preorder dark souls II for it.

Started playing dark souls again last night. Im still Stuck in the catacombs. Those damn skeleton dogs wreck my shit every time. I've also been playing alot of street fighter 4 arcade edition. Getting ready for a ranking battle season starting up at the beginning of February
Catacombs,kill the nercomancer asap for one bit of advice.I was thinking about playing dark souls again because dark souls II is due in march.
All the Necromancers are dead. I just run through the beginning part of the catacombs. I die once i get to the point where its completely dark. I have the light helmet so sight is not an issue. Its just those giant skeleton dogs man.
I want to beat the game a few times before dark souls II comes out. I can't wait got the collectors edition pre ordered
Try using a spell that's fire based or weapon.Other being,try baiting there attack and dodge right away.Blocking there attack doesn't do much good even if the shield is 100%.Oh btw i sent you a friend request on the wii u awhile back,nickname is TRON72.

I think this game is unfairly bashed by lots of shoot-em-up folks.
Gradius III on SNES is a decent game...I enjoyed it when it was first released and go back to it every few years. Still enjoyable.

you guys have too much time for games
my ongoing quest on Sega's legendary 2k5 (best football game ever made/ programmed / designed) 9th year in season, my new QBs 3rd year and he went 13-2 for the season, we lost our last game against my old starting QB despite INJURING him in the first quarter! Yup second to last game of the season and we injure a 100rated QB for a team headed for the playoffs. We still lost the game TO THEIR BACKUP and their D , one game left in the regular season im sitting my starters for this one since win or lose we clinched the playoff at home.
i could have made a 4th quarter comeback but literally dropped the ball celebrating too early for the TD (got tackled from behind while celebrating). We would have just been down 1 more TD , it knocked the wind out of my sails and i just folded and kneed the ball till the clock ran out.

Just played some NAM 1975... how can anyone complain about the game, for a launch title it has awesome graphics, awesome intro, awesome everything.
I think folks who complain are not particularly fond of the "genre" ("related genres" might be more apt, since it is somewhat of a hybrid platformer + Cabal), in general, because even CABAL and Operation Wolf start getting pretty hectic, pretty quickly, and NAM '75 has the added awesomeness of "platforming".
I love NAM '75, but I die frequently when I am not been able to "roll" out of trouble.
It is such an addictive game, IMHO. And you don't get much time to breathe or relax. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Most of the complainers of Nam 1975 are "newer" Neo players. The ones that mainly want Neo for the later games like the Metal Slug series, KOF, series, Mark of the Wolves. They write off awesome games like Cyber Lip, Magician Lord, Nam, Crossed Swords, League Bowling, Sengoku, Ninja Commando

I don't think I'm their target audience, and I can't really say anything specific due to NDA agreements, but I can't imagine paying a monthly fee for it.
I LOVE Skyrim. I freakin' love it.
I played a fair amount of Oblivion and Morrowind, but they never hooked me like Skyrim.
ESO is almost as pretty as Skyrim, but the last couple of times I've jumped into beta, it's felt more like WoW. (Think fetch quests)
Having said that, I used to LOVE WoW, but I've burnt out on that whole play mechanic.
And I just don't have enough disposable time these days to feel like I'm getting my money's worth out of a game that costs $15 (or more) per month when there are so many good Obey games that cost $15 once and are f2p forever.
But, it totally is worth checking out. As I mentioned, I'm not who they are targeting. It is fun for a few hours. And it looks AMAZING for an MMO.

Yeah see i didn't like Skyrim at first as much as the others but i grew to absolutely love it as well. It seems like a very interesting concept but the monthly pay would get annoying.
And i too got bored with WoW. It was fun to play with my friends but required a lot of "keeping up" to do, so i wonder if that is how ESO will be. I'm also curious to see if there will be any kind of story. Again, i know little to nothing about it, so maybe i should do some research too, haha.

I was over at a friend's place a while back and the family kept pestering me to join them in their DDR... I kept being reluctant, but then I gave it a shot and really got into it. Played for hours with them. Suffice to say, DDR games are purty addicting when you have a family or friends to play them with.
Never heard of "Jackie Chan's Power Mat (XaviX)" BTW but I LOL'ed at the thought of what that might be! Heh-heh.

Ha! I spent the afternoon re-playing Half Life on my wife's netbook (now with Linux!). I got so much into it, I installed Half Life: Source on my main computer and spent some time this evening playing it. Sadly, I think I prefer the original version.
Also, my son and I have been playing a lot of Final Fantasy IV Advance via the Gamecube's GBA adapter. We made it to the Underworld today.
It is so much fun playing this with a 5 yr old. :D He is sooo into the story. It's awesome watching someone play through it for the first time. This afternoon we were outside playing and basically re-enacted the story up to this point, as super heroes. It was great.

Beat it this morning. Still cool game, but Xen is a little weaker in quality.
But Xen has what, 2 short stages and 2 boss levels? Not much.
The ending(s) is really weird, but now I gotta try Half Life 2 at some point.
Only Valve games I've played/beaten so far are Half Life, Portal 1 and Portal 2. Want to buy Left for Dead 2.

I agree with ya. It was weaker and from what I remember sort of boring at times, for me. But I really love that first game.
I'm sure you'll still enjoy Half Life 2, but honestly I enjoyed the first one a little more.

Only Valve games I've played/beaten so far are Half Life, Portal 1 and Portal 2. Want to buy Left for Dead 2.
Unless you've got a buddy or 3 to play L4D2 with, you'll probably lose interest in it quickly. The genius of that game is the co-op. I still love playing it, though, so if you ever pick it up, shoot me a PM. :D
I can't comment on HL2 because I've never finished it...

Half-Life was a great game, but it really did fall apart right at the finish line. Man, I hated Xen so much that it was years before I went back and played through the game again. Bleh.
I personally think HL2 is better than HL1 in pretty much every way. And I'm don't know how well it would hold up in the post-Bioshock era, but the gravity gun was an absolute revelation back when the game first came out. Killing stuff with other stuff never seemed to get old. :)

Been on a musical kick lately and had the first stage's music in my head. I wanted to see why this was the only 8-bit Batman game I hadn't played through to the end... After getting about 15 mins into it I realized it's because it's just not fun. Boo Konami.. Boo...
Level one music starts @ 4:09

Hell yes. I still enjoy playing all the DDR games. I'm also trying to lose some weight. I know folks poopoo DDR and Just Dance and Jackie Chan's Power Mat (XaviX), but I have lots of fun with them (playing with family is nice, too).
I was over at a friend's place a while back and the family kept pestering me to join them in their DDR... I kept being reluctant, but then I gave it a shot and really got into it. Played for hours with them. Suffice to say, DDR games are purty addicting when you have a family or friends to play them with.
Never heard of "Jackie Chan's Power Mat (XaviX)" BTW but I LOL'ed at the thought of what that might be! Heh-heh.
I have a XaviX and 2 games. Jackie Chan is the best game ever made.
Needless to say, XaviX flopped.

Wait, that was the game Steam let you download for free during Christmas. I dunno, you're not missing much... So I let the thing download across 2 days since I'm on DSL, it's 8 GBs or something, and gave it a shot, but quickly lost interest and uninstalled it... The End.

I've been playing Gunstar Heroes on the Game Gear in Kega Fusion, and holy crap I'm impressed. It's full of flicker and slowdown, but it's still extraordinarily playable & very impressive given the hardware. I may have to get a physical copy, but spending $50 for a game I'll never play because the console it was released for has such a shitty screen...just seems a bit silly.

Turbo Outrun for Mega Drive beaten. High score in pic. Couldn't grab webcam in time to snap the end, but basically after you reach the last stop cheerleaders come out and fireworks go off, etc, then you enter in your high score after it shows a pic.
Today (as it is a bank holiday in the UK) I'll be playing a little Neutopia and a little Dead Moon...Maybe a little of Bravely Default (I've been slacking a little on it recently).
That's how I've been with that game. I played the demo for BD and liked the battle system but the demo kind of sucked in my opinion. Then got the game, enjoyed the hell out of the first two hours and then never went back to it. Sometimes that just happens and i feel bad. Maybe I'll get around to it this summer

I thought that game was going to be great. All the tv ads I saw looked awesome. Talking with the local game store guys, I learned they got a ton back in a few days. Needless to say I didn't try it for myself and don't generally go by what other people say, so I still may give it a shot. Anyone have any pros to toss in to make a choice easier?

Well i just don't think i had that connection i get to certain games with BD.
Pros that i would say are the many options you can use for the battle system. Brave and Default being the biggest ones but you can also turn the encounter frequency higher or lower which is pretty cool. The music is pretty great and i personally really like the art style of the game in general. The towns look nice and so do the job outfits for each character.
The demo is a little confusing if you start with that but i would still try it if you're interested at all.

Bought a copy of Wonderboy in Monster Land for SMS recently, gave it a go last night.
Apart from my hands that got sore because of the il-designed controller, I enjoyed it quite a bit. First Wonderboy game played since the 80s, and it did bring back memories.
I picked up a TG16 this week along with a copy of Neutopia 2, only game the store had. I've been doing a dungeon / day so far, making it last. I find the game to be excellent; graphically it's quite polished, the story is not bad at all. It's not Zelda:LTTP, but then again no game is.

Super glad I didn't have to pay over a hundo for it. Thanks to the German-Man. Although, it definitely feels like one of those games that I wouldn't mind paying somewhere in the ballpark of what an original copy goes for.

Gonna try and conquer Tatsujin (PCE). I can manage to get to the beginning of the 3rd level on the 5 continues provided. Seems pretty fair, the bosses and actual level segments aren't too bad. The mini-bosses are tough.
Also got Art of Balance (Wii U), pretty unique puzzle game.

Ive been playing Bayonetta 2. Going through 3rd climax. Also i've been playing smash bros on 3DS. Mostly for glory online matches with little Mac. I've started playing the Binding of Isaac on ps4 (free from PS +) its a really fun and simple game, but has a lots of items that do crazy things, and it keeps you coming back for more. Lastly, I have been playing DDR MAX 2. Trying to lose some weight before i go back home this holiday

Happy Birthday, Half-Life 2! It's been 10 years. Holy Moly. I spent a good chunk of today playing through it. I can't believe it still looks and plays so well. Yes I can. But I can't believe it's 10 years old already. :)

Also getting a PS3 next week to replace my 360. Can't wait to play Last of Us, Journey and One Piece Pirate Warriors.

Interesting that the gouger is a member here but, afaik, hasn't posted his sales thread here. Sadly, I don't play Facebook enough to think about taking screenshots of the discussions I get involved in. The OP deleted the thread when the shit hit the fan...

I watched this unfold. He made a post yesterday about needing money because his ex wife is planning on moving to a different state and taking the kids, so he needs an attorney. I purchase Ai cho Aniki from him for $30. I don't see that as overpriced, but many of his other games were over priced. Hopefully the whole attorney thing is true, thats one of the reason i decided to buy a game from him.

A week or so ago I picked up 2 licenses of Terraria off Steam ($2/ea!) and today I finally got around to setting up my primary computer and an old laptop with this game. My 6yr old and I have spent a good chunk of the afternoon playing and having a blast. I've heard this game compared to Minecraft a lot (another game the lil and I play regularly) but thats more sandbox (Legos with zombies) and this is more focused on exploration and crafting. From what I've seen in videos there's sooo much stuff! I wonder if I can set up a persistent world on my old P4... :)

It will be rare soon, they are pulling it from the in game store. At any rate, according to in game player tracking, I play this particular tank destroyer better then 80 percent of the North American player base. Most recent match was another ACE tanker win. Went in with the smallest TD with the smallest gun and came out the highest scorer on the team due to super aggressive play.
Oh yeah, for those WWII buffs out there, yes, I do have a Maus lol! :P (http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/Amakusa666/shot_010_zps5666bbc5.jpg) (http://s9.photobucket.com/user/Amakusa666/media/shot_010_zps5666bbc5.jpg.html)

Tiger II was impressive, but the legendary Maus was more so. It was, and still is, the largest, heaviest tank ever made. Even more so then the American 105 mm Super-Heavy T95. Thankfully of the two made, one of the hulls was in decent enough condition to be put on display with the turret of the other, whose own hull was all but destroyed internally before capture to prevent use. We really are lucky production of the Maus took so long and that it never got into full swing. Had it done so there is no way the Shermans, let alone the KV-1 or IS would have stood a chance against a Maus supported by Jagdtigers, Panthers and Tiger II.

R Type I. I can get to the third stage but when I am working my way through that ship I keep getting crushed towards the end of it. Need to think it through more.
As for R Type II. I CANT EVEN GET PAST THE FIRET LEVEL LOL. I get maybe halfway I think just after those glowing laser shooting enemies but then a few frames after them I get taken out by one of those worm/snake thingies lol. I spent maybe 30 minutes on it got frustrated and put on some Bonk to cool things down and play something easy lol.

He isn't hard per say but my hands are getting tired.
Some elements of the game I have yet to understand
And there isn't mich in the way of reviews apart from people tag quoting it on the first opponit who seem to refuse to even TRY and figure out the game and call it trash.
Which it isn't. It's actually fun.
So on the training events which increase your life/hit points strength of punches and speed to dodge you need to get five concequtive hits with the trainer then hit the robot trainer to get that bonus. I can usually get two sometimes three hits to the trainer so far. Also having. Automotive continue to your last fight even when you lose is nice.
At times I seem to break up the oponits rhythm and a sound comes out and a glove comes out as drops. Not sure what that does or if I need to do more when it Halle s but at times the opponit can punch the bonus glove out lol
I have get to get a KO OR TKO. I have knocked down my oponits and keep my connected hits higher then my opponit so I have only won through the judge. Although at times I could have sworn I should have won
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Medic_wheat on January 22, 2015, 03:20:14 PM
Wow okay so I finally got to the final round
I can hardly land more than 5 punches on this guy and with my status maxed out.
I can hardly figure out his pattern.
It HAS to do something with how his right glove shines at times. That has to be some sort of tell that would allow me to either break his pattern or land more damage.
I never knew about this. I think it looks intriguing.
Time to learn about a new game!
It is called Power Punch II. "Mike Tyson in space."
The story if I remmeber goes something like this.
mike tysons punch out was popular.
This was to be a sequal to it but published outside of Nintendo.
Then Nintendo executives went to check on progress it was not what they liked so they disowned it.
Then due to the drama a that Tyson raped a women and they "changed" the name of the main character.
The game is seemingly universally hated and you can find it $5 loose and I would guess $20 boxed.
I got this one loose at a retro game store for $5. And we all know most brick and motor store charge at a premium for even common cheap games.
Oddly I have yet to pick up mike tysons punch out or the mr dream punch out. Although I did pick up super punch out and punch out for the Wii a few months back. So I am close to completing my punch out library.
So if anyone has the other two new punch outs for sale hit me up

I got a Retron 5 yesterday and put it through the ringer last night. I played through Enduro Racer for the SMS (via db-elec's homebrew powerbase adapter) and for the first time finished Pop'n Twinbee for the Super Famicom! I tested a ton of other games, but those were the only ones I made it beginning to end with last night. I'm really impressed with this device. GBA games look so much better than via the Gamecube's GB Adapter and with the ability to to save at any time, play translated versions of JP games, fast forward through unskippable bits and all via wicked sharp 720p. It's pretty slick.
And I'm still trying to finish Lunar Legends. I've made it to the final boss, but he's crazy tough compared to everything else in the game so I need to do a bit more leveling up... I think tomorrow I'll be able to put that game to rest. :)

So Eternal City is AWESOME. I mean sure, the backgrounds are repetitive, the enemies...well, let's just say the game resembles an early Genesis game. But it's somehow...very addicting. As some have said, it bears some marks that are quite reminiscent of Metroid (ESPECIALLY the first game) and I can totally see that, and it's seriously the best thing ever. I just got the "Back-Booster" and I'm highly enjoying that. I really wish the game had a translation patch, as a decent half-story would make up for the graphical shortcomings.
Anyway, I strongly recommend this game, if you can find it for a good price. It may be somewhat bland, but it's also pretty unique among PCE games.

With a weekend to relax and time to play games, starting on Friday night, I fired up "Friday the 13th for NES" which I finished Saturday morning. It took me a few tries through the game to actually beat it.
From there I fired up Banjo Tooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day for N64 which I played a bit of Saturday and Sunday.

Shubibinman 2 (Shockman).
How can anyone say this is a bad game? Sure, it gets pretty cheap at times, but hey...there's a cheat for that. So far, it's one of the best action platformers I've played on the system. And DAT SOUNDTRACK. I wish you didn't have to beat the game to get to the sound test, cuz damn. It seems just a little on the fast side, though...I'm willing to bet a lot of the songs would sound better if slowed down to, say, PAL speed. The instrumentation is great, though. It really shows the more FM side of the PCE's sound spectrum. Now I'm kinda curious to play the other two games, but they seem more hack & slash in style than run & gun.
Also, Chase HQ.
This was reasonably fun. I can't decide if I like the pseudo-3D effect better in this, or Outrun, but I do believe the latter is at least less choppy with the scaling.
It plays okay, though. My only regret (and this applies to both of these games) is that I got the PCE versions & didn't hold out for a deal on the Turbo versions, as Chase HQ is really missing something without the "Gotcha, Nancy!" and such. Then again, I'm not really willing to pay the ridiculous prices the Merican versions seem to go for. It's a dark day for turbob shopping indeed.

I finally played all the way through Cadash on the TG-16 yesterday, and it's so interesting seeing the differences between the Turbo version and the Genesis/MD one. I like the atmosphere of the MD version better, but the brighter colors of the turbo version are also appealing. The music is a mixed bag in both. It's very hard to discern which one's better, but I think the TG-16 version wins simply for having all 4 characters from the arcade playable
Why has the Genesis verson spiked so much? Or has it always been a $100+ dollar game??

Played a little bit of Dungeon Explorer II. Emphasis on the "Dungeon" part. I've been playing for 15 minutes and I've traversed, what, 3 dungeons? 4?
Anyway, the game is fun, but it's not too far ahead of the first one graphically, and I think the control is actually not as good.
Thankfully, the graphics are improved marginally & there's a lot more good conversation to have with the NPCs. Also, I could just watch the cutscenes over and over.
ALSO, did anyone else notice that the orb of Ora looks suspiciously like the Lok-Nar from Heavy Metal?

Keeping with Heli shooters Loving Twin Cobra kind of reminds me of Raiden with heli copters.
And finally Crackdown on the Genesis played it in the arcade back in the day and is surprisingly faithful to the arcade.
Sadly My Turbo Duo needs a audio recap so no Turbo gaming for me :( was just getting into Vasteel and Valis II.

OK, I, too enjoy the old skool flavor of Twin Cobra. When you have a chance (i.e. fix up your DUO!), check out Kyukyoku Tiger (HuCARD)...of course, there are many other Toaplan games on PCE...
Daisenpuu (Twin Hawk) HuCARD, for example, has a similar setting/atmosphere to Twin Cobra...folks don't talk about it much here, but I like it.
I haven't played the Genesis version of Twin Cobra in a few years, but I enjoyed it (back in the day). It would be fun to do a comparison of the two (not that you have to).
Yes, Tiger Heli was a fave of mine. I think my brain was wired around it.
I remember Crossfire and Crackdown, but I haven't played them for years and years. Of the two, I would rather play Crackdown, if I had to choose. Ha!

Sweet estaban glad to have another Twin Cobra and Tiger Heli fan :D. I just like the style of play tough as nails dodging and you die because it was your mistake not too much the game. Got to try tiger hawk sometime and compare the too I'm sure the PC Engine sounds better than the Genesis sound but I really like the Genesis sound of Twin Cobra. Curious Estaban is the NES version of Twin Cobra any good I have the game but fear that I might be let down.
If you into Heli Copter shooters I also on occasion play Firepower 2000 on the Snes and Silkworm on the NES I always pick the Copter. But your right when my Turbo gets fixed going to try out your suggestions and also play Raiden Super CD and HellFire CD on the PC Engine CD side of things both with pretty awesome soundtracks.

I love Tiger Heli NES but I don't think I played Twin Cobra NES much. I must have rented it, but I know I never owned it.
Raiden CD adds TWO EXTRA LEVELS (exclusive to PCE) and, IMHO, a nice soundtrack. IT IS NOT A KICK-YOUR-FACE sort of affair, but once you accept it (symphonic elegance), it actually is quite nice. I have heard the standard songs SO MANY TIMES that I probably just needed something different to be happy :)
To be honest, Raiden still kicks my butt. It took me years and years before I beat it... I still choke when I get to the last few stages.

Raiden irks me, because there's nothing about that game that makes it wholly unique...except for the music, with its awesome sampled drum tones. There is no home port that properly replicates the game (music) in an unadulterated manner. Not even Raiden Project.

Finally started Call of Duty: World at War. The Wii version since it's the only one I have.
Also, I started it because it's the only COD that came out after COD 4 that I haven't beaten yet. And for Black Ops 3 hype.
It's pretty good so far. The destruction is insane too, and it's the only COD I've played that has a flamethrower (rather disturbing weapon).

Just finished Whirlo on the SNES. :D I've always adored Xandra no Daibouken on the Super Famicom but never finished it as parts I couldn't get through because of the Japanese language barrier. The game had an English translated Pal release under the title Whirlo but back in the day I wasn't aware of this as I only bought imported games and didn't follow Pal region releases. I just played through this Pal version of the game so I could get through the parts I couldn't before. I must say though the Japanese to English translation is awful, it doesn't hinder the game play, just the story is a bit garbled.
Anyways overall the game is a hidden gem and I feel is highly underrated. It has great platforming utilising various jump techniques, some puzzles, some minor RPGish elements and a few mini side quests. Also you regularly get choices for what appears to be branching paths in the story line. I say its a hidden gem as the game seems to get mediocre review scores and I don't think it deserves this. I would agree that the game is very hard though and it has a one hit death, but it makes it all the more rewarding when you progress. http://videogameden.com/sfc/reviews/san.htm

the matching part is easy enough in the japanese part if you know what you're looking for. i'll take it over the 50Hz pal "Whirlo" version any day.
For any non Japanese speakers personally I would suggest playing the rom of Whirlo in an emulator. It appears to me to play full screen and 60Hz speed in the zsnes emulator. That way you get the full story, although translated badly it is still an integral part of the game.

I played Guardian Legend for awhile. I got farther than I ever managed to before (last I'd played it, I wasn't very experienced with shooties). I'm kind of disappointed with how repetitive some of the graphics & enemies are, but it still looks better than LoZ & I got a good bit farther in Guardian Legend.
Also, the lady finally put down Gomola Speed in favor of facing off against me in Tengen Tetris. One of these days, after some relationship counseling, I think we'll be able to take on the co-op mode. :P

Shotgun is best weapon. Unlike the arcade version, the shotgun in the pce port destroys bullets.
The Auto fire power up is good for the worms.

What the f*ck?
I played Dodonpachi Saidaioujou for the first time in...5 months? And I got a new high score. Beat my old one by 20%, and that one was not won without blood, sweat and tears. I hadn't broken it in many, many tries after it.
On one hand, I feel great to get a new high score, but on the other, I'm thinking that I just must be approaching the game wrong for this to happen. This probably implies the same for other action games, too.
Does this happen to anyone else?

This sort of thing happens to me too. I blame it on focusing way too hard on individual small things when playing a game over and over. Then when you come back after a while alot of those small things just become subconscious. Also playing other similar games in the meantime helps .. especially for bullet hell

I found that out the hard way. If I die once I wipe as soon as I respawn ugh!
And I'm glad it's not just me. I thought it was hard but I couldn't figure out if it was me or the game in general lol.
I do like the shotgun. But there's a shotgun that shoots yellow balls and red balls. I definitely prefer the yellow one! Especially paired with the robot that attached to you and let's you shoot in like 8 directions.
So addicting haha

I also picked up Gunstar Super Heroes a few weeks ago! It's awesome! I was talking about it w/ Dragonmaster Dan at MGC and he recommended Astro Boy to me. I found Astro Boy at a local game shop so I'm planning on swinging by tomorrow to pick it up. :)
Last weekend I got completely absorbed into Elder Scrolls Online for the PC. They gave me a free weekend pass because I played during beta but never picked it up. It was honestly pretty bad when it launched, but I couldn't stop playing it this weekend! OMG, it's gorgeous, even on my 8 yr old computer. Gameplay still feels closer to WoW than Skyrim, but it's very story based and I didn't encounter a single "collect x number of y and come back to me" type quests. I wish I could have been able to play for a longer period of time so I could have checked out PVP and group co-op (raid?) type stuff but I didn't get very far...
It has come a long way in a year and now I don't want to buy it because I'm afraid I'd play it too much.
I also recently picked up a PS1 Pinball game called Pro Pinball: Fantastic Journey. It's frustratingly addictive.

Bloodborne is worth checking out if you're a fan of the souls series.The game has some of the souls mechanics but different enough on it's own.While there is no shield for blocking attacks you do get a pistol,which can parry most enemies.

TRON... There is a shield in the game you could use. But I wouldn't recommend it.
I beat Bloodborne I think 3-4 days after I bought it. Great game. I bought my PS4 exclusively for Bloodborne. Although I also bought Dark Souls 2 for the PS4 even though I already had it on PS3 and PC. It gave me two games I could enjoy on it. The rest of the games on the PS4 for me right now are pretty worthless.
I have been going back through Bloodborne trying to get all the achievements and trying to explore all the chalice dungeons. Then I will prolly go back to Dark Souls 2 and do all the achieves. I play my Duo whenever my fiance wants to do a multiplayer game as she's been hogging it lately. It's new to her and she only prefers controller with the old school layout like the NES, two button, run, select and pad. So it worked out great for her as she is getting tired of the Nes games she has.

I picked up U.N. Squadron for the SNES not too long ago and have been playing that a lot lately. It was one of the first SNES games I had bitd and I remember liking it quite a bit, but a friend of mine back then stole a bunch of my games and sold them to a nearby game shop, this being one of them. :/ I finally got around to replacing it and it's been a hoot! I love how non-linear it is. For an early game it sure looks good, too!
Also have been playing the PS1 Final Fantasy Origins version of FF1. I never played through this on the NES and it's been a lot of fun so far. I just got the second crystal. My son enjoys watching this one as well. They lay the random battles on pretty thick, but that's only a minor gripe.
Finally, Astro Boy: Omega Factor for the GBA. Man, this game just gets better and better. It's so much fun. I've been playing it in short bursts so I'm only 3-4 levels in, but I love that you can save pretty much at any time and pick back up near that spot. Really shows off what the GBA is capable of. And it looks fantastic on a Retron 5.
I had been playing Final Soldier, but after making it to the final boss twice in a row without beating it, I've decided to take a little break. I'm sure I'll get back to it soon, though. :)

Been playing lots of bloodborne with most of my free time. I'm currently level 67 rocking the ludwig holy blade, and the blades of mercy. The game is awesome, and a nice welcome back to demon's and dark souls. DS II was very disappointing and i never even finished it.
I completed,bloodborne main game recently.I did want to finish the chalice dungeons but after awhile it became to repetitive.So i finish the game story finally and messing around with ng+ now.
I just completed the unseen village, and im off to the top of cathedral ward now.

Im currently at the end and grinding through chalice dungeons, but the repetitiveness is defiantly beating down on me. I think im going to back up my save file to a USB drive, so i can see all the endings without having to playthrough the game to get to the end point again. I do still plan on playing some NG+ though

Best thing you can do with the chalice dungeons.Unless you have others to play with in the chalices dungeons,it becomes to much of a grind.

Last night i played and beat Valis 1 on the PCE. I played this a few months back, got to the end and couldn' beat it. The game also froze on me while playing a few months ago at the end, which caused me to not play it for awhile. I started playing again this weekend, and i made it to the end again on Friday and Saturday. The game is pretty easy overall. The only hard part is the last stage, and mainly just the first form of the final boss.
Yesterday however, i was determined to beat this damn game. So i played it, got all the way to the end boss without dying once. Then it was game over screen, after game over screen. Once you die in this game, you lose most of your weapon power ups, and MP, so it just makes it even more difficult. After hitting the game over screen about 6-7 times (trying different patterns of cheesing out the 1st form of the end boss) I realized the easiest way to end this boss would be to use the sword power up and take it as slow as possible.
I was able to defeat the first form of the end boss with half of my HP left. The second form has a very distinct patter that doesn't change at all so its just a matter of surviving and getting enough damage in. I was able to beat him with 1 hit point of life left. I literally screamed "f*ck YEAH!!!" when it was all said and done.
on to the next one........

Metal Gear Solid V on ps4. So far the game is a big departure from the other metal gear games. This one has a open world feel, and is more focused on gameplay. The story is still there, but a lot of it is told through optional cassette tapes. Which i actually enjoy. If you want to be more involved with the story you can, if not, then you don't have to be. But anyone who have played the previous MGS games will be listening to the tapes for sure.

This latest,MGS throw me off due to it's more open world and manage mechanics.Beside the enemy soldiers have a very wide field of vision.So unless you know the area well you will be spotted easily.Still i'm getting use to how it plays now.There's lot's to do in MGSV it puts the past metal gears to shame with the content it has.

I was always so busy in my personal life I felt bad if I committed to something and didn't follow through.
I was going to help with voice acting in Mysterious Song, but the cheap microphones I had purchased sounded horrible and I was juggling graduate school + child, so I just gave up on Mysterious Song :(
But I have been itching to work on something and Zeroigar presented itself at the (nearly) perfect time and place.
I created a few pages of a Xanadu manual a few years ago (it looks like I will get to finish that project :) ), so the Zeroigar work was an easy extension.
Life is still busy, but I know I can squeeze in time for PCE projects because I love 'em. Sometimes I am crying, but I love 'em.

I just finished the game with 100% completion. This is the first game in awhile that I was actually motivated to finish on 100%. I would highly suggest this game to anybody looking for a cheap 360 game at this point. The environment is cool, and the story is all right. The depth of customization/collecting was enough to where I enjoyed it, but it didn't kill my OCD collecting self.

I picked up a Playstation TV brand new from a pawn shop for $30, and as fate would have it, there's now an exploit that finally makes the English version of Ys: Memories of Celceta playable by overwriting the whitelist.
I sold my Vita after I platinum-ed the game, thinking that I'd just get a PS TV instead. I've never been huge on handhelds, anyway. Unfortunately, they never patched the US version, so I thought I was pretty much screwed out of ever playing it again. Crazy that I picked that thing up on a whim today and it just so happened that the exploit became public a few days ago.
Anyway, I spent about four hours playing it on my nice 60" display. It was a glorious time. :D I'm still wondering how Falcom is progressing with Ys VIII. It's been so long since I've seen any info on it.
At any rate, the PS TV is suddenly a pretty solid purchase now. I think Best Buy even has a bare bones unit for $40 now.

So it can do about 100 Vita games, PSP, PS1 and even PC Engine games so there's an approved emulator included along by default. I guess it's an el cheapo alternative to PS4 and an admission portables just aren't that popular anymore ??

Finished Shadow of the Colossus.
As a general "experience", it's definitely one of the best games I've ever played. It leaves a huge impression and excites the imagination wonderfully. It reminds me of Ikaruga in that it's one of those game concepts that's so simple and clever, it makes you wonder why nobody had ever done it before.
When focusing in on it as an action game, however...it's really just "OK". Personally, I think of it in terms of a 70/30 split; I found it boring roughly 70% of the time that I was actually playing it.
The long horse rides from the hub to the colossi could make me feel the atmosphere...the vast, lonely, beautiful, raw world of the game...about 30% of the time. The rest just felt like a waste. Watch a bland 3D landscape go by for several minutes. Hope your horse obeys your commands (they programmed him to disobey you occasionally). Do your best not to go the wrong way, or else it's up to a half hour of desperate wandering.
The 30/70 split applies during the colossi fights, too. In the beginning, I spend about 30% of the time eagerly studying the layout of the land, the movement of the boss, and what I can do to provoke him. The other 70%, I'm merely waiting for either the colossus or my character to get into the right position to try what I think might work. Later, when I've cracked his pattern and know how to kill him, I spend 30% of the time actively doing something to accomplish this, and the other 70% of the time getting shaken off and waiting for a chance to get near where I need to be again.
Ico was much better. You can set aside all the story and atmosphere, and you've still got yourself a totally decent puzzle game. Again, Shadow of the Colossus has one hell of a presentation, and I'm actually glad that it's held in such high regard and looked to for inspiration. I really appreciate some of its minimalism, too. It's just that the action itself is actually pretty milk-and-water.
I might play it one more time to see if knowing how to do everything in advance improves the experience.

Lately I've been totally addicted to this digital card game, Star Realms: http://www.starrealms.com/digital-game/
I ordered the physical copy from Amazon and decided I'd try out the digital version while I waited for it to arrive. I've probably played it 100 times since then. Really great game. It's free to play and $5 to unlock harder AI, online play, and more than 1 chapter of the campaign mode (which is just variations and specific goals to win strung together).
It's on Android, IOS, Mac, PC and plays perfectly on my Linux laptop via Wine and if you buy it on one device it unlocks the full version on all the other devices you own.
Dangit, I think I'm going to go play it right now...

Shadow of the Colossus is really one of those games that made me realize how much art there can be involved in the game. There are a ton of weird side things you can do as well that are never really touched on and just discovered as you wander around (his name is Wander after all). I enjoyed the game for what it was as more of a presentation piece to what can really make a game feel like art. Reading your review of it makes me want to tackle it again on PS3, as I only played the PS2 version.

Yeah, and it was a great way for Sony to close out the PS2 chapter I thought. The programmers said their final good-byes to the system with it and took it to its max. I can't imagine how much better it looks having been remade for PS3! ICO was also a genuine privilege to play but shorter I recall.

Is it because controlling the mech is like controlling a car? I actually don't mind this. After all, VOTOMs = Vertically-Oriented Tank for Offensive Maneuvers. :/
The difficulty does take a rather large spike pretty early, though. After conquering a stage where I'm assuming the ground is wet, as the controls are very slippery here, you fight one-on-one with another mech that has a seemingly infinite supply of missiles. Well, after about 10 tries I finally beat him today.
After that, you go to another "battling road" segment that culminates in a boss battle with three turrets that have yet to not kick my ass, which brings me to my main problem with this game: the hitbox. It's far too large, making effectively dodging enemy bullets nearly impossible sometimes.
Still, the game manages to be no more difficult than most other shooty games of the era & for the low-low price of $11, I'd say it's well worth it for any fan of mech combat games, especially if you're a fan of VOTOMs in particular.

I finally got to sit down and play some games after holiday business and being so busy with repairs and building my Super Gun. I have been playing Sonic Wings 2 for the MVS quite a bit. I still can't decide which pilot I want to settle on though. Gotta drop some more credits. :D

Bought the megaman collection on the Xbox one and the games are awesome of course.
I hadn't played 5 and 6 until I bought this. 5 is good but uninspired, but 6 is amazingly awesome.
The challenge mode lets you practice levels or bosses like that nasty yellow devil.

I think you would have been more impressed with it at release. We all were, my friends and I at least. Now that several generations worth of technical and artistic achievements have passed since, it's easy to forget why some games held top honors previously. The level design, animation, music, branching paths, bosses... everything just came together. It's well deserving of the pedestal it's on, and I think even now it stands the test of time.

Now you mention it, someone at the starmen.net forums made a patch for your situation, super famicom mother 2 cartridge on the retron 5. Or you can always make your own off course.
So many patches exist for this fantastic epic, it's difficult to decide. The one I picked tries to be as faithful as possible to Mother 2, it has the original title screen, Threed is called Threek, Pokey is Porky, the cultists have the HH logo, the hospitals have red crosses etc, etc

I watched Johnny Millennium's Fallout 4 opening playthrough a couple of days ago actually when I got my new smart TV set up and was breaking it in, learning to use its internal Youtube player.
Seems like an interesting game. You're getting the benefit of an extended movie with its post-apocalyptic story but yet are apart of it and determine how it unfolds to a certain extent. Why I always like RPG games, worth a lot more than a 2 hour movie... I personally like a good linear story, a basic beginning, middle and end scenario and that's what I prefer in a videogame also.

Not ashamed to say I have been playing AC iv: black flag and AC rogue lately. I haven't played any assassins creed games before but I love the sailing. I kinda knew what to expect for the land stuff since I've already played far cry 4 and watch dogs.
Though rogue doesn't have a Caribbean setting, I prefer it over black flag, with the exception of less epic forts and the ost. The islands are much more interesting to explore and I love fighting gangs. The story doesn't have a ton of tailing missions either. There's even a monopoly aspect where you invest in building renovations and later collect dividends in a bank.
It's gonna be hard to play the other AC games without the sailing, island exploring, fleet commanding, and naval combat.

Finally got a Gamecube controller and was able to use the Gamecube that my friend gave me a few months back so I checked out the only 2 discs I have, used Action Replay to load up my import Adventure Island disc. The gameplay seems a little odd, almost like Master Higgins has a little too much bounce in his step, and sometimes it seems like the stuff on screen is too big, but overall the game is a lot more fun than I expected and it was nice to play an Adventure Island game that I never got to play before since this is one of my favorite classic series.

I wished I never got back into the fallout world but I couldn't resist, you know you are addicted when you spend your weekend locked indoors and staying up to 7am to complete a mission and just doing random and good shit in the commonwealth. The amount of factions and individuals you meet up in this game has made the story much more richer. As always there are lots of tense battle moments and frustrations arise but there is a lot to do if you want to be sidetracked. Even after some 5 months after it's release and patches applied there are still lots of typical bethesda glitches and bugs that create annoyance but I am sucked in....
I just recently got SFV and I think I'm going to try to put a lot of time into this one. I really like how it looks and controls, especially with the new V trigger. Still waiting for an arcade mode, especially since trying to play online at my University is a nightmare, but for now I'm still having fun.

Played some Half-Life Deathmatch on the PC today for the first time in years. The game seems slightly different now and it doesn't feel the same flying around with the tau, I guess they changed it with an update or something, but it was still a lot of fun. I've probably spent more time playing this game than any other game I've ever played on any platform. A few weeks ago I asked my mom to keep an eye out for any video game related things she might find around the house from when I lived there and while I was playing she texted me a picture of an unopened copy in one of those old big boxes that they used to use for PC games that she found in the garage. Crazy coincidence...

Been playing a lot of old PC games lately, ever since moving a bunch of them from my parents house. Finished up a point and click adventure yesterday called Noctropolis. This one was a good revisit as I barely remembered anything from the game and had fun rediscovering it, some of the fmv dialog was pretty funny too. Today I played a bit of an fps called Exhumed. I know the game as Powerslave and remember playing a demo with that title and borrowing the full game from a friend back in the day, but copies of Powerslave seem rare as I haven't seen a copy for sale since it was new so I had to get the European release under the title of Exhumed; thankfully the title seems to be the only difference as far as I can tell. The game is pretty cool but unlike almost every other fps I've played on the PC it has limited lives before you have to restart a level from the beginning and the game only saves at checkpoints that only work during the current game and when you complete a level, you can't just save any time you want. This makes the game a bit tedious and sometimes very frustrating but I'm determined to beat it this time! Love the laughing skull on the title screen, it makes me smile every time I start the game.

My fiance likes to watch the uncharted games, and I enjoy playing them to look at the spectacle of a modern development, so we've rented Uncharted 4 on redbox and almost played through it from last thursday through last night. We have about 2-3 more "chapters".
The game is definitely a spectacle and has a lot of insane moments. We only recently finished Uncharted 3 so the most recent game was fresh in both of our minds.
As far as gameplay they've added some very fun new mechanics to what had become very stale platforming. The combat is mixed up by making stealth a lot easier; I suck at stealth games, but in this one it's fun to try before going guns-a-blazing, and there are a lot of new weapons that are more fun to use (hand cannons, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles are all more common in this playthrough for me)
The story itself has a lot more very slow and dramatic moments, which my fiance says sucks but I think she's eating it up. It slows gameplay down a lot, but by the end of the game she is much more opinionated about the characters as opposed to the prior games which invoked little conversation about the characters - so I say they were successful with this though I could do without it in my games.
Graphically the game is stunning, really. It's easy to nitpick here and here about some dumb shit, but for every nitpick there are 20 exquisite art elements in the same shot.
I would say paying 15$ to rent it for 5 days from redbox was well worth the playthrough, if you can stand gameplay.
A nice relaxing weekend of mindless action adventure gameplay :)

Street fighter V is really great, Ive been to a number of tournaments this year (Final Round, West coast warzone) and will be attending Combo Breaker in Chicago next week. Really training a lot to do well at these tournaments. I think the game plays much better than SFIV, and is more of an honest fighting game.

It's also a lot easier than the first game on TG16 as I've had that one since I was a kid and don't think I've ever gotten past level 3 while I only got II a few weeks ago and have already beaten all the levels. :]

Hadn't played my PS2 in 5 years, so I decided to get Rayman 2 Revolution. I'm a big fan of the newer Rayman games so I wanted to check it out.
I've beat the original before on N64, but this was a good remake. I didn't like all the load times but the new bosses were cool. Frame rate was pretty eh at tiems though and some parts were frustrating, but I had fun overall.
In addition, I've always been interested in Rayman 3 ever since I saw an ad when I was a kid. Now was the time to try it out! I bought the Gamecube version and blew through it in 2 nights. I was absolutely hooked. Most people don't like Rayman 3 as much as 2, but man I feel it's vastly superior. The Atmosphere is less serious but the game is so much fun. There's zero padding, every level is a blast to play. At some point I'll probably get the HD port on PS3.

I got Destiny for the PS4 (along with the PS4 itself) for XMas, played it for a bit, then let it sit for a while. Picked it back up about a month ago, then finally got sucked in. I've been hit by the Destiny addiction freight train and there's no end in sight.
I just hit level 40 and am almost through TTK storyline (yeah, it took a while...but I work 50-70 hours a week and I have to squeeze in an hour here or there of gaming when I can). This game is the first modern game I've played in ages that has really kept my attention - the grind/rewards system is masterfully done and always keeps you coming back.
I get a chuckle out of people in the community bitching about Bungie and the game's lack of overall content...if you look at it from a standpoint of $39.99 (for Legendary Edition) for 200+ hours of gameplay, that's a pretty good deal to me.

I really miss renting, died out here years ago. Used to love browsing through the shelves for VHS, NES and Mega Drive stuff. Used to be a lot cheaper though. Maybe £3 for the weekend, that was a long time ago though. I understand inflation but by that measure video games are even cheaper now. I mean 25 odd years ago new cart games were about £40 on average and new games now are about £40. Would it work out cheaper getting a used copy off the bay and then selling it once you're done with it??

Been playing Castlevania: Circle of the moon for GBA. Its one I've never beaten. I always seem to lose interest in it, but this time I'm determined to finally beat it. I have to say that Harmony and Aria are much better Castlevania games, but this one is still good.

Harmony had big empty rooms. It was like 'We've got this new castlevania game but didn't add any assets. Let's just rush it out the door".
I think Aria is the best playing of the GBA ones followed by Circle of the Moon.

CotM's soundtrack was jarringly good...I still think it's a better game than Harmony and its garbage soundtrack. Aria trumps them all though, IMHO.
All this talk just reminds me how great the GBA was. I miss my SP.

So after completing Castlevania COTM, i decided to play HOD again. Its been about 10 years since i last beat it. I just beat it last night, and i did enjoy it, but not as well as i remember, and it was way to easy. The music is good, but the sound quality is not. I still prefer it over COTM, and i think that has to do with the fact that both games are metroidvania style, but COTM doesn't have all the elements of a metroidvania castlevania title. Its missing the shops,dashing,downward kick jump ect. Not sure if i will play Aria next, or take a little break

Still working through Valis 3 on the Mega Drive. It's going smooth, except I can't get past Stage 5 because of some bullshit platforming. I'm sure I'll be able to eventually beat it though.

Beat Assassin's Creed III. The story took about 6 hours to get past the "tutorial" stage, but I've been having a lot of fun doing free-roam in the wilderness and Colonial Boston! The combat is amazingly brutal as well.
I still prefer Black Flag and Rogue, but it's definitely better than Unity.

All of this Castelvania talk.
Now I am wondering what was the more critically acclaimed games in the series for each platform.
CV III for NES ID SAY
followed by Vampire Kiss on the SNES (honestly enjoy it more then IV
PCE only had the one same for Genesis.
GB. Uh. Let's go with Adventure. Why not.
GBA Harmony was good but I tend to remember enjoying Aria more.
DS order of escala was good
N64 I enjoyed the N64 game but hear Legacybis better. Have yet to play.
PS1 most would say Symphany but I liked that arcade port remake of the first game a lot more. Might have more to do with the fact I never actually beat Symphany.
PS2 lament was great. However, I do want to try darkness one day which was also on the xbox
PS3. I liked lords a lot have yet to play part two or that HD port of the two portalble games in that series.
Wii. I hear there is a great eshop game I never played and the only physical game is that fighting game that didn't do all that great. Never play any game on the Wii though.

How odd, I've also been jumping on the Castlevania train lately. I've mostly been playing Drac X on the PCE, but I also just got the N64 game (the first one) and I've yet to try it out. Lots of people trash it, but I don't think it looks too awful even with the wonky camera. This is also coming from a guy who's "first golden age of gaming" was playing Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron & Beetle Adventure Racing on the N64 -.-'
Anyway, Drac X continues to grow on me more & more, but it still seems so difficult like most of the pre-metroidvania games. I've unlocked Maria & she seems to make the game a little easier. Anyone else notice using her makes the game almost feel like El Viento?

I've never been able to beat Castlevania III. II is a cakewalk esp if you have a walkthrough/know the gibberish, and I was challenging but achievable. III spanks me down and calls me a bitch every time I try to step up to it. That mimic boss and his level just destroy my hopes

I hope to play that someday when I get a everdrive for my nes or a famicard cart converter and the game, but right now I only have unmodded nes and the US release.
I do also feel like I should be able to beat this game, I've practiced quite a bit - certainly put the effort in I would say - I just need to practice a bit more I guess.
During the previous sessions I've attempted to beat the game I used initially no guide and stumbled into alucard and got stuck on the falling brick section of the 8th level (I think).
The second time I attempted it, after seeing a charity speed run of the game, I thought shit I should try this sylpha lady and maybe it'd be easier, so I got a guide to get her and made it to the mimi level (level 9 I believe.) It was at that point, the level with the two tiers of water you have to wade through fighting birds and fishmen that I hit the wall. I had a very difficult time getting to the boss, let alone having enough lives and hp to practice fighting him.
In my current "password" I used the "helpme" cheat to get 9 lives, and the game is significantly easier being able to try the boss more than once or twice before restarting the level. I also was told by a friend to try using grant to get past difficult parts of the levels using his nimble wall climbing ability, which as also made it much easier.
I hope that with this combo, helpme and grant, I can at least get through the US version using official cheats.
Someday I will play the easier version with better music, but this game has stumped me for so long I really feel the need to defeat it using all of the tools the US devs gave me :P

So with so much time to spare I began Zelda 3. Last time I tried to play it was back in 99 and couldn't get to the Dark Palace and just didn't bother with it again. Last night I made it past the maze and gave the 110 rupees to the monkey. I should be done by the weekend.

I've currently been playing through Shining the Holy Ark on Saturn. A lot of people hate it mainly for the way they went with the pre-rendered art style. I was the same way, but once I got it back in the day and played it, it was a lot of fun. I would always get near the very end and my battery backup would die and I would lose my game saves. Well, decades later I finally bought a Action Replay. No way I'm going to lose my damn game save this time. Now I wait for my battery to die again and then my cart slot finally dies lol.
I am also playing through Muramasa Demon Blade on my Vita.

For me, no. There are obviously similarities but it just feels like laziness rather than an inspired homage. It's not a bad game, just not special. I remember the first time I completed LTTP I felt a real sense of achievement (GBA version, I didn't have Snes). I don't have that with this. If you can pick it up for cheap go for it but it's definitely not the AAA title reviewers make it out to be.

Kinda same here. Never got past the 4th Dark World Dungeon, so I booted it up a few days ago. Finished it this morning.
My favorite Zelda is still Majora, but at least I can finally say I beat LTTP :D
I also finally beat Earthworm Jim 2 (after many years of off and on again efforts). I always liked the first one but the 2nd game has too many gimmick levels. At least the Blind Salamander stage is still amazing.

Magical Chase for Windows 95, well, running on Windows 95.
Pretty much the same game as the PC Engine version. Nothing was improved or enhanced. They even got lazy with the music, just a bunch of prerecorded wav files, not even CD tracks.
Maybe he meant they're recordings of the PCE tunes rather than some unique redbook remixes he was expecting?
Yeah that's what I meant, they just recorded the PCE tunes into wavs, not even redbook audio to hear on your stereo, or via the CD drive analog cable.
Don't take me wrong, I like it was made for PC, but they could have made it better.

Got myself a bootleg, translated Adventure Island IV NES cart last week and completed the game today. It's a shame that this one wasn't released in English because it's a lot of fun and, in some ways, is better than the other games in the series (even though they're all fantastic games, imo). At first it seemed like it was too easy but the difficulty really picks up in level 5 to the point where the game gets a little tedious; ultimately it is satisfying to rescue all of the dinosaurs and then your wife though. Before today the only other Adventure Island game that I ever beat was New Adventure Island. I really kind of hate the idea of people repurposing games like this but I guess not enough to resist buying this...

Just got my NESRGB going and I'm all about playing some NES right now. Anyway, I recently finished New Adventure Island (awesome game) so I began with playing Adventure Island. It's not my favorite and the graphics aren't so great. You can tell it's an early game.
However, Adventure Island II is f*cking awesome! I remember playing this game 20 years ago on my friend's Sharp Nintendo TV (turns out those are pretty rare these days). Anyway, it's Adventure Island with dinosaurs. Pretty great, if you ask me.
P.S. I've been playing around with the color palettes. I typically prefer the Playchoice-10 colors. The Garish just doesn't do anything for me.

River City:Tokyo Rumble on the 3DS. A great Kunio game. Plays a lot like RCR, but has a bunch of new modern features, like doing jobs (quest) to earn extra money.
Shin Megami Tensei: Apocalypse. The SMT JRPGs are so refreshing. This one is no different. Great story so far, and great combat
King of fighters XIV: Kind of dropped SFV to focus on this game. Its just so much more fun than SFV. I really like the max mode system of XIII's HD mode. Makes it much easier to get in and play and learn.

The whole game is basically a grind - fun if you're into that which I am. I suggest like posted above to do all of the side quests available before moving onto the story quests, that should get you enough exp. If I had one tip for someone starting out new it would be to swap party members out whenever you can to build affinity as best as possible early. I got caught in a position that I did have to do major griding to progress to build affinity between story required characters.

I downloaded the Dragon Quest Builders demo, and holy shit I should not have done that - I want to play more! I never got into Minecraft, but I loved Terreria and played about 150 hours of that on steam (most played steam game since they started tracking that). I got totally bit by the bug to see more, and I really enjoyed the gameplay and graphics. The music is beautifully done, and the entire package is just so frigging naustalgic. I very well may be breaking form and spending 60$ on a current gen game for this

New leaf was the first animal crossing game I had played, and I am almost ashamed to admit how much I played the little chore simulator, but somehow it hooked me and I played the living shit out of it. I might go back for more with this update, since I have a few amiibos (though I have no animal crossing amiibos, all smash and Mario :/ )
I am still considering picking up dragon quest builders despite my hesitation to pay the going rate for new releases. The demo is so addicting and I really love the presentation as a whole. Those sound effects just tickle my nostalgia button so well, and the music is beautifully performed

This was weird. The update has amiibo/RV guests/ new Settlers of Catan stuff? Interesting. I think after Christmas is over I'll buy myself a 3DS to get back into New Leaf.
The update now gives you the following options. (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxKrZQc06iM5T)
There are tonne more items to collect now and now another currency is used which is MEOW tickets which need to be exchanged for items that campers with their RV's bring into your camping grounds.
Earn MEOW tickets at the CAT machine (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxKOUs91CDb7X)
Complete daily initiatives to earn MEOW tickets. (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxKjE0OvUHSX1)
Wisp now resides in the game and you have to unlock him first by finding his lamp (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxU9OsHZDnd1k)
Some of these items will only turn up with amiibo characters. (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxcziAOcwYmjk)
Harvey the camping hippy (maybe KK's relative)? Also has new items for trade. (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxdFIETQKB0iu)
Lottie from the Happy Home Designer game appears and you can arrange your home furniture much more easily by just dragging and dropping with the touch screen. (https://d3esbfg30x759i.cloudfront.net/ss/WVW69jxVd7QC9bAK84)

I've been tinkering a lot with my DS Lite, now that I have a flashcard that can obey. :P
It's an Ace3ds plus card and cost just under $10 shipped from HK. It can play most (all?) DS games, but the magic for me is the emulators included. It comes with emulators for NES/SNES/Genesis/OBEY/GB/GBC/Neo Geo, but really all I've done is obey on it since it arrived. The screen is really nice, though sound emulation is not great. Redbook audio is perfect but sampled sounds dont seem to work right, or at all.

I have been knee deep in Bravely Default lately, and I've been loving it. The graphics are so uniquely executed, hand painted style taken to a whole other level. I try to play it in 3D, it looks so good, but it strains my eyes so I only turn it on during specific shots to look at the 3D images of the environments as the camera zooms in and out. The battles parallax panning backgrounds and awesome character designs make the 3D effect great too. This is the first game where I've really paid mind to the 3D of the system, but with it turned off it's still one of the best games I've played in a long time. For me, this is RPG nirvana and I regret putting it off as long as I have.

I will play it...it's just a matter of when...

Don't listen to the haters; this is a great game, with fantastic audio visuals. It does require patience, because you know, you do have to learn the game, but its much easier than people make it out to be.
I love games that require some blood sweat and tears to beat. They tend to be the most memorable...

Was sorting through some of my stuff and came across my CD-i console. So I fired it up and played a bit of Mutant Rampage: Bodyslam.
I want to say it's like a poor mans version of Streets of Rage, but that would be giving it too much credit. The highlights were some of the enemies. There's a large woman who hits you with her giant breasts, a guy who farts in your face, and spitting cavemen.
So all in all not a totally lost cause.

I got Pac-man Championship Edition 2 over the Xmas break on Steam along with some other stuff. I want to love it, but struggling. The controls seem just a little more wonky than CE DX though enough to put me off. I'm playing with a 360 pad and only the d-pad seems to do the trick, and you guys know how divisive opinions on that can be. I'd love to play this with an arcade joystick on a stand up cabinet and see how much my game improves. Now you have to chase the ghost trains which move super fast, and the eating is automatic, and it finally drops you off at the spawn point of the maze despite where you finished eating the ghosts. So it's less satisfying and also disorienting now, though I guess a little more in the spirit of the original game where you'd have to chase down the four ghosts (now four ghost trains) separately. I see what they were going for. You also have to chase the goddamn fruit now! C'mon, that's just annoying. I just tried one of the jump levels and that was pretty frustrating as you can't necessarily tell where you end up until you land. I'm sure with memorization it would get easier but I didn't take to it as naturally as the championship level. On the plus side, the music is great and the visuals are pretty. I will try to give it some more love a little at a time.
I also picked up Dead Rising 3 (need a PC upgrade to play it I think), Overcooked which I bought because my gf enjoys those sort of a cooking/time based games, RE: Revelations 2 (Why not, I buy every other RE game, I played a bit of the first level months back and it seemed alright enough for my horror fix which I need a constant supply of), Hand of Fate, Rollers of the Realm, and a bunch of other small games.
I am now thinking about playing some Shovel Knight on Wii U, which I treated myself to last week also.

Been playing Shantae: ½ Genie Hero on the Wii U since it arrived on Tuesday and beat the regular mode today. All in all a pretty good game, I bought it because it made me think of Wonder Boy in Monster World and was glad to find it similar once I played it. Probably give Hero mode a go at some point. The last level was a little frustrating and then to add to that the power went out on the second to last boss and I wound up having to restart the level from the second checkpoint after it came back on. :/

How was the FFXV story? Worth picking the game up? I've heard they're about to update the game a lot and change lots of things.
Story was the worst part for me to be honest, I really didn't understand it. The best part is open world exploration and quest loops, but it gets old fast. I am not sure I'd recommend it except to the open minded hardcore final fantasy fanboys hahaha

Legend of Heroes Trails of Cold Steel 8.5/10
Beat this a few days ago. A lot better than I expected going in (I disliked the localized PSP garghav trilogy). Filled with dialogue and exposition as one would expect from a Legend of Heroes game. It took me just shy of 70 hours and I wasn't really lollygagging at all, in fact I had started practically skipping the text in the filler side quests (needed for best ranking). The plot is nothing to write home about exactly, though it's within the same world as Trails in the Sky and does continue through two more games so it could be more interesting. It's certainly better than a lot newer of JRPGs I have played lately in that regard. At least the developers cared about crafting this world and it shows with the lore/backstory you can find in the game. The battle system is where this game truly shines. Lots of options but not so complex that it's annoying. Straight forward and menu driven. Enemies are visible on the map everywhere, so no random battles. The final boss sequence has two fights with a slightly different combat method which I am thinking will be a part of the series going forward (sporadic fights here and there I don't want to spoil anything by mentioning more).
tl;dr If you like JRPGs buy this game.

What an amazingly told story with stellar gameplay that had my wanting more. [MILD SPOILER] One of the best bosses in a video game I've ever loved and hated. The final battle was so damn cool with the mixture of a tense battle within a field of lilies--how it starts off with just the sound of the cool breeze brushing the wildlife around you and then slowly the dramatic yet emotional music fades in all while there is a "timer" to battle against.
Can't wait to play the rest of the series.

They are pretty frequent, but one of the characters has a special attack that can be used every fight that almost always hits and destroys all enemies on the first round so they are usually quick.
We made it to the second disc a couple of days ago. It looks like we'll finish it up this weekend. It's too bad this game never got a sequel.

Mega Man 2 contest update.
Well I came in second place. It's was fun though. I wish the baby sitter actually came, but she didn't and I had to take my son with me. I didn't think I'd get to play but the game store was okay with my two year two year old (this April) to be present. My son only took the controller away once saying MINE. Which lead to a death on Heatman.
Contest:
Mega buster only, three lives per stage. You loss all three lives you get dropped from the contest. And it's buster all the way through no options or anything. Unfortunately they used a Retron 5 hooked up to a projector. So there was a never noticed delay. It was very frustrating when playing mega man of all games.
The prize ended up being $25 for first place and $15 for second due to only 5 people registering.
I was very surprised to see one kid who was maybe 14 and another maybe 9 or 10. The youngest also impressed me as he was missing one arm and played similarly to my wife (also missing one arm) where she used on hand for the d pad an the nubby arm for the a and b control (My wife does it opposite as it is her left arm she is missing).
The lag is what really messed up everyone. In fact instead of a semi round befor the final t was only me and the other guy who ended up winning simply because we didn't die on crash mans stage. I might have won if I didn't get frustrated in crash Man during the boss fight and die two times in a row as I got all spastic.
We ended up doing the semi round (heat man) and the first Willy stage (specials allowed) where we played both stages and then added the time for each stage together. The guy ended up being 30 seconds faster.
At the end I was just hanging out and the kid who was maybe 14 who was with his father was talking to one fk the video game employees. I over heard the kid say there NES he had wasn't working.
So I offered the kid a free NES. Kid said yes and the father followed me to my place which was near the store. I have the kid a extra NES and threw in a extra Mega Man 2 game. The father kept asking to reimburse me for my trouble and wouldn't take no. I didn't want to insult the man and took the $20 he offered.
Over all it was fun. I was generally impressed with the younger kids showing interest and skill with older games WAY before their time.

Ha! That was kool to give the kid NES and MM2.
Also, I had never thought about what it would be like to use a standard NES controller with a "nubby arm" (prosthetic arm?) so it was interesting to read about that in your post. Forgive my ignorance... I originally assumed prosthesis was involved, but then I realized I could be wrong.

Perfectly ok. As I was making up words.
No prosthetics where used by either the kid or my wife. They just used what was left of their malformed arm.
The difference being my wife was born with part of her arm unformed just past the elbow. The child at the contest (spoke with his mom) was borne just fine. However, he seems to have some sort of immunodeficiency which causes his body to attack itself. Resulting in his right arm being amputated semi recently above the elbow.
The kid did great showed the ability to be very patient during his run. I honestly thing both of the younger kids would have made it to the semi finals had it not been for the lag with the projector.
If I remember the rounds/stages where
Woodman Airman Crashman (everyone had trouble with the boss due to the lag)
Heatman Willy stage one (puff the magic dragon 🐉)

Replaying Mafia 3 on the PS4, one of the best storylines ever, too bad the game itself is a bit repetitive.. 8/10 also playing through Yakuza 0, 0 and 4 IMHO are the best in the series.

Nice, Skies is a good one.
It's been many years since I've played Grandia II, I remember thinking it was ok but not great. There is a sequence later in the game where you will need to go to a weird equipment set-up to make it a lot easier. Teenage me figured it out w/o checking the internet so it can't be too tricky but if memory serves... You need to use a tight dress and then an item to make the enemy target the character wearing it. Don't recall the name of that item, but you should see w/e it is naturally, it's not hidden or anything. This is pretty late in the game. I believe I was pretty frustrated before I thought of this.
Nearing the end of a Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn playthrough. 5 or 6 missions left. I was going to try it on hard after finishing PoR on hard earlier this year then I was like NOPE, don't have time for this shit. So I went back to normal instead. Later found out that apparently hard was cut from the US release (to make room for easy) and is actually Maniac.

I was unaware of that as well. I doubt there is anything different game play or sprit wise. However it does make me want to get a CIB copy as I like the box art. And now it will be playable.
Which. Wait. When did a CIB copy of super metroid for the famicom become a $70 game? I remember motto long ago you could get a lot of super famicom CIB games for $70 WITH super metroid Mario kart and so forth. Man five years later and prices spiked.

Yeah it's fantastic. I played a couple hours before I knew it. The game is pretty intuitive too, and it isn't difficult to progress.
As for Snatcher I will just say that normally I don't have a ton of patience for vns. And, I'm sure some would classify it as an adventure game, but I think it's much closer to a vn. Regardless the point is I ended up finishing the game in 2 and a half sittings (first sitting I ran through the first part, then I played some more a couple days later, had to go do some other stuff but left the system on and got right back to finishing it). It was better than I expected going in and kinda feels like a decent sci-fi movie.

Yeah I would be the games are identical aside from the physical differences with the cart.
The art is great. The price should be closer to $50, that's what it was valued at in trade at least. I did a fair bit of fun trading recently. Got rid of my Nomad that I never really used with some Genny games for a SNES mini, SM CIB and Nosferatu loose cart. Buuuuut anyway yeah Japan is basically getting strip mined of their games by game hungry US and EU gamers. As the game sales fly the stock dwindles and the prices increase. Fortunately with a game like SM a ton of copies were made, so a Japanese loose cart should only be like $20-25 instead of whatever awful price a US cart commands.

You do eventually start going off campus, but I don't remember the dialog getting any better. It's typical JRPG stuff.
I enjoyed it enough that I'll buy the sequel though. I also did everything you can on one playthrough. I thought about platting it for a sec but then I came to my senses. I think I'll get to the sequel this year at some point, but right now I already have a few games queued up.

The Dawn of War games are pretty solid RTS. All the campaigns are worth playing imo. The later expansions kill competitive balance though.
Dawn of War II is solid, a little quirky.
Space Marine was like...alright. If you like third person shooters you should get enough enjoyment out of it, especially since it's like $5.

Turns out the reason I never beat it is password system. I drank seven beers before I made it halfway through. When you use a password, you lose all your items so it's best to do it in one go. It's just too damn long.

I just beat Final Fantasy 7 for the first time on the Vita. What a truly amazing game that I still think holds up extremely well in terms of storytelling and pure gameplay mechanics (the materia system being so simple and straightforward with each players' approach and use of the system). The opening 4-6 hours of the game are so incredibly grandiose in a sort of mysterious and ambiguous sense. Fantastic music, never got tired of the battle tunes, and fantastic characters.
I won't spoil the ending (despite people knowing the big major climax and the game being almost 20 years old by now) but I really thought the ending was perfect in how it actually ended. So glad I finally played it, it's been on my list for years. Cannot wait for the remake on PS4!

been playing super mario 3d world on the wii u. really fun, colorful and enjoyable game. love how in some stages you have to touch a certain platform on the wii u pad in order for it to pop up and being able to for you to jump on to reach higher ground and being able to blow on the pad to activate different mechinisms. I feel like the boss fights are a bit too easy but still an enjoyable game.
Hiryuu no ken twin. A very interesting fighting game on the n64. There are 2 game modes that play very similar to each other but are also different enough to be their own fighting game, (super deformed and virtual mode) Even the character roster, music and stages of each mode are different from each other! I will say the SD mode in my opinion is the better version due to better stage design, music, rpg mode where your characters levels up after each fight and character interactions before matches.a very unique game overall
cd denjin. pretty good shooter but doesnt live up to the awesomeness of air zonk.
image fight 2. really good but man this shmup is hard!!! kinda interesting how it has 4 different ship speeds to select from and when you pick up a pod power up, you can use it to throw towards enemies. I like how you have unlimited continues and when you reach half way towards a stage and die afterward, i like how you dont have to start from the very beginning but to the halfway point when you continue. great music too!

Right on. I actually still haven't played V. PS4 should be here today, and it's one I was waiting to grab the current gen version of.
@kuban0: Ha, I really didn't like that aspect of 3D World. I thought the blowing in particular was annoying. Still though overall I enjoyed the game, and you are right it is very easy. I can't recall dying much at all, maybe a couple times and even then I had such a reserve of lives built up that it didn't matter.
Had not heard of the 2nd game you mentioned but I did see it was released in the US as Flying Dragon.

I need to give it another go. I've never gotten very far into it. I hear all the Witcher games are really good.
My son and I spent all weekend playing Starbound together. Really fun game that takes the Terraria game style to the next level.
And Genji Tsūshin Agedama on the PC Engine. Every time I play I get a little farther. The way the difficulty ramps up feels just right on this one.
Yeah pretty much. 3 is the best imo. First one is definitely still worth playing though. You have to get past the standard you have amnesia start to the game because it gets good in a hurry. Though I am biased towards these kind of games and also really enjoyed the Dragon Age and Elder Scrolls series. The Witcher is a bit different than those, however.
If you only have the original version the EE is $1.49 on GOG right now.
Genji is a fun one for sure, I beat it awhile ago.

Ahh good glad to hear you played it, and I hope you enjoyed it.
I am just getting some more free time with the wedding wrapped up, and things are settling back down. Having a gnarly cold/flu and a day off work is the only reason I found some time, so I don't know when I'll get back to it, hopefully by this weekend I can play some more and wrap it up. I got my dude to level 4, and beat the first boss, so I think I am a decent chunk into the game it doesn't seem very long or deep.

I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles on the 3DS and I feel like I'm not quite getting it yet. The story is great and I enjoy that, but I don't necessarily care for parts of the combat. More interested in finishing it just for the story.

Post by: Gypsy on June 18, 2017, 03:02:46 AM
I never could be bothered to finish Xenoblade. I'm all about that Uncharted 4 life right now. I was hoping to finish it over this weekend, but it seems like it is considerably longer than the first three. After that, Yakuza 0.
U4 is pretty much what I expected. I try not to read any reviews or w/e before buying/playing a game unless I'm on the fence about it so I didn't know about any of the new features going in. I don't mind any of them too much, though I think it's kind of silly that they added so many for the fourth (and final by ND) game in the series. Guess it's good to keep things fresh.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Serega81 on June 23, 2017, 09:57:53 PM
U4 way to easy in comparison to other Uncharted titles, Uncharted 2 is the best IMHO.. Yakuza 0 is great, prob the best one, I loved 4 as well though.

Post by: Gypsy on June 24, 2017, 01:46:01 AM
I started Yakuza 0 a few days ago. Yeah it's pretty good. Unfortunately these damn overheating problems keep persisting. Shitty Sony being cheap with their internals. Looking into various solutions but for now, PS4 gaming is on hold.
Due to that, I grabbed a stack of oavs and anime movies that I own but haven't got around to watching. 80/90s stuff entirely I think.

been playing some repros i got from cjameslv's store
DOREMI FANTASY Played a little bit of the game and from what ive played,its pretty nice! like how the worlds are set up kinda like super mario 3 style. Great music, love how the stages have sound effects Colorful visuals and solid gameplay. Kinda reminds me of bubble bobble since you trap enemies with a bubble and jump on top of them to destroy em. very fun game
MAGICAL POPN A pretty straight forward but good platformer. I like how you can equip yourself with different weapons to help you progress in the game. So many different things to find and to explore. Really cool boss fights.
In my opinion, both games i found pretty non difficult for platformers but both are great games to check out!

Only managed to get up to Gaur Plains which has some amazing 70's sounding dance music but the bit past that where you have to enter the mines and fight the boss down there well I failed several times so taking a break from it. The battles imo take too long and you have to grind a lot.
Anyway playing the Sega Saturn version of Ys 1 which I am really warming too. The music again is a little arranged from the pc engine version but I'm warming to it. The great thing about this version is you can hold a button down and just charge through the game. It makes me want to load up the turbografx version. Miss the CD music on there and the colors are much more vivid.

I just played all morning to power through and I'm starting to like it less. I just finished that underground ether mine place, so only about 15 hours in, but the battles do take way too long and you don't really do anything. Just hit A to do an occasional special ability. So far it really hasn't lived up to the monumwntous hype. It's just sort of been a pretty good game as opposed to "the best jrpg of the past 10 years!!!"
The music and overall world are what keep me coming back, though.

The saturn mode I think makes the bosses harder too. I'm trying to complete Darm Tower in one go without saving and continuing but I keep getting killed by the Mantis and Floating stone bosses so I know anything after that won't be easy either. On the pce versions all those bosses can be killed almost instantly T__T
So replaying another old saturn RPG: Lunar SSSC

PCE: Ys IV - Just beat the fire armor boss. Pretty neat that the music sounds like like an Ygnwie Malmsteen song
PC/Iphone: Eternal - Its a digital card game, a la Hearthstone, but its way more similar to Magic. Thats what i like about it. I love drafting, but MTGO is a shitty program and it cost a lot to draft daily. Eternal allows you to grind for gold, and i've been playing the game for a few weeks now and have only paid $10. Ive drafted at least 10 times already.
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.

Eternal is pretty much cheaper Magic. Hex is also pretty good.

Eternal is pretty much cheaper Magic. Hex is also pretty good.
Thats exactly why I like Eternal. I love to draft, but dropping $10+ a draft adds up real quick. The fact that Eternal is digital only allows them to use mechanics that magic cannot.
Hex is something i may try out. I remember hearing about it a few years ago. Its getting a ps4 release as well. Would you consider Eternal better than Hex?
Title: Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.
Post by: Gypsy on September 09, 2017, 01:51:46 AM
They are about the same to me. I think Eternal is cheaper yet. Hex does has waaay better prize structures than magic online, not that such a feat is particularly difficult...
There are some key differences to Hex, make sure you read a good primer if you are going to play.

Bought the ICO and Shadow of the Colossus collection on PS3. I finished Shadow of the Colossus and while it had its flaws, it was worth the playing through.
ICO, on the other hand, probably won't get played again. I get that it's a great story and all, but the gameplay is irritating. It's annoying to be constantly helping the AI and waiting on her to move to my position. A great story is great if I'm watching a movie. I'm after great gameplay in a game.

Thankfully, though, with Ico is that despite its flaws, it's a pretty short game. So you can still go back and enjoy it without going through too much turmoil over many hours. SotC still holds up as a great game, too. Wonder if they'll fix controls in the remake.

Has anybody here played Hyper Dragon Ball Z? It's a Mugen Fan-game based on the DBZ series, and it's AMAZING! It's the Dragon Ball fighting game I've always wanted to play! (Basically a traditional fighter with a DBZ coat of paint) it plays kinda like Killer Instinct on the SNES, where you have to chain combos together and hope that your opponent doesn't break'em, only with even more spectacle...
I've been playing it for a few weekends but I've only just managed to finish it, it's pretty hard, but it's the good kind of difficult, as in it's pretty rewarding once you get the hang of it and start laying the smack-down on your opponent! Damn I'm loving this game...
Only two gripes, there's no pause button, at least not that I'm aware of, but this is a Mugen problem, not the game's problem, and there's not a single female playable character... I mean c'mon! Where's Videl or Android '18? How come Mr. Satan is a playable character but his much more competent daughter isn't? Also, I wasn't too keen on the soundtrack, I mean, it's not bad or anything, but I was glad to replace it with the very nostalgic soundtracks from the DBZ Super Butouden games on the SNES, now THAT's the soundtrack I associate with Dragon Ball fighting game action! (Even if the Super Butouden games are kind of crap)
I main Gohan btw, he's one of the faster but less-strong characters, but it's real easy to chain combos together as him...

so i took a hard right at Albuquerque and started playing Postal 2 for the first time in almost 10 years. It still holds up; at least I think it does. I'm playing the nonviolent route just to see what happens, and I think the game is way easier oddly enough.

Postal 2 is still a classic, even if it technically isn’t great. The weekend expansion unfortunately is linear and violence only, but it’s fun hacking terrorists with the machete. Paradise lost has pacifist options but it’s tougher.
Anybody try battle mobile on the snes? It’s like spy hunter on steroids! Pretty unknown

I will always have a soft spot for this dumb ass game. I beat the game pacifist, but didn't get the achievement since i was playing the mode where it took you directly to the expansion. so i played through again, then I got it.
I'm almost done with another playthrough, just screwing around picking up some of the other odd achievements like "kill X amount of people with Y"

Recently got a bit into Silpheed, for the Mega CD.
Rather simple top-down shooter presented in a visual style that must have been impressive for its time. Solid enough though to be enjoyable.
It did drive me a bit nuts though until I found a system that it would work on. Apparently, this particular game is taxing for the hardware as a whole. In fact, I've read that Silpheed is the best test for the CD drive on a MEGA/SEGA-CD unit. If the drive is bad or misaligned you won't be able to play even if the disc is perfectly fine.

Best of all, it's got a translation patch! Thanks for that, SkyeWelse.

Finally beat Sonic Mania on my lunch break. It felt maddeningly stupid for my first 5 tries, but after that I really figured out how to maximize my time (because my biggest downfall with fighting Dr Robotnik was running out of time). I would give that game like a 3 or 4 out of 5. I had some fun with it, and felt a bit annoyed at times, but overall had a good time.
Also finished Breath of the Wild earlier this week and that game is something. On one hand, the overall experience of playing an open world game like this with such an expansive world where you can literally go anywhere and climb anything was amazing, especially in the first 10 hours or so. But it certainly had its setbacks that made getting through the last 15 of my 75+ hour adventure feel a bit tedious. I still say it's a great game overall without a doubt, but it's nowhere near a "perfect" or "best of all time" game.
May pick up Golf Story next or Stardew Valley soon. But I also may finally play Resident Evil 4 or Bloodborne for the first time to get in the October spirit.

Finished off Super Mario Bros 2 about a week ago. So, I decided to try 3 and got to the airship in World 7 last night. After picking it up again today, I finished it off in two hours or so (I didn't say I was good at it). They were both beaten on the SNES, Super Mario All-Stars because I didn't want to use warp zones and finishing either game in one sitting without warp zones would either require a lot more time and/or skill.
The SMB games on NES were very important for the system and even modern gamers have played at least one of them, if not all. Last year I decided to go through the three, but I didn't get very far at first. It took me forever to beat the first one. I ended up getting very lucky on Bowser using a well-timed jump that I didn't even plan. Anyway, they are all iconic and I'm glad to have played through them all.
Personally, my favorite was 2 which surprised me because I never liked it when i was a kid and always preferred 3. However, I love the physics of 2 better than the others. It just feels like I have more control. Also, there are more unique characters (for obvious reasons) to fight, and the final boss was a great fight.

Spent the last couple of days trying to beat Renegade (Arcade version). Finally got the 1CC (not that continues exist in this game)!!
Learning how to do throws and how to walk up to enemies really saved my skin. That last level with the gangsters was a bitch but I managed to get through patiently. The boss with the gun isn't bad on his own but with 3 knife wielders its incredibly frustrating. A single stab or bullet can instantly kill you, and with only up to two lives you don't get much practice in. The 2 minute timer is my worst enemy. Even playing stage 3 as well as I can, it ends with 15 seconds left on the clock. It's only a 5 minute long game but it must've taken me like 50 tries to get through it.
Also started Mario Odyssey, I "beat" New Donk City so far. Pretty fantastic and inventive game, I really love how intuitive the transformations are and the perfect blend of tight platforming and solid exploration. The game doesn't have any moments of tedium like Breath of the Wild did.

Well if you try to go for the true true ending of 500 moons it gets a bit tedious to run a fine comb through each level to scour for moons, but it's not as bad as BotW since you mentioned it. It honestly adds a good bit to the challenge of really trying to work through previous levels in newer ways.

Decided to try out the original Turrican, the so called "Metroid of Europe". Played it on the amiga emulator of course since the 16-bit console versions are unfortunately shitty.
Holy moly it is a fantastic game! I had a lot of fun blasting through all the levels and finding secrets. It's similar to Mega Turrican which I love on the genesis, but obviously a little more focus on level design than bosses.
Both games have a really annoying (lengthy and maze-like) stage 4 as well. If you die in either stage 3 or stage 4 you may as well reset your system, especially since stage 4 has almost no extra lives available.
The arsenal is good, you have either a multiple shot or a powerful laser. You also have a 360 degree zapper that can destroy enemies and open areas. Secondary options include wave bombs, mines and extremely powerful grenades
There are plenty of extra lives to find, but they all fall out of the air. Once out of sight you cannot get them. It's practically impossible to get any of these in the jetpack level. You also start with a good amount of continues and can get more, but if you use one you start at the beginning of the world.
You can pretty much cheese most of the bosses though. You can turn into an invincible wheel and stay in that form as long as you like, and you can even shoot out of it. The only boss where this doesn't really work is the piranha, which you must shoot in the eye using the zapper. Maybe also the Block guy, which has an alcove that you must stand in and shoot out of.
Definitely a must play, just not on the pc engine.

I tried many years ago but never made it too far in Turrican...this was before I was willing to read guides/FAQs/walkthroughs... but now, after reading your enthusiastic praise, I feel like I *will definitely* revisit Turrican.

I've been playing a lot of Witcher 2. There are some changes I don't like from the first game. Mainly that you get almost no experience from killing monsters (it's basically all tied into quests) and combat is much more about patience. Still, I'm having a lot of fun.

Esty, it's definitely worth a shot.
Just played through Turrican 2. Took a couple tries but it was about the same difficulty. Unlike Turrican 1 which starts off easy, Turrican 2 starts off harder. The shooter level is so much easier though and plays a lot nicer! Even better soundtrack too

I played Super Ghouls n Ghosts on the SNES all weekend. Like the rest of the series, you have to beat the game twice to fight the final boss and get the true ending. Unfortunately, the weapon they make you use for the final boss the second time is the "Goddess' Bracelet" and it sucks. I made it all the way to the end but just couldn't do it. ](*,)

Since last weekend most of my free time has been going to Xenoblade Chronicles X. Started this one in Sept. but then took a break for Oct. movie watching and then didn’t really feel like playing again until last weekend. It’s not that I got tired of the game but I really prefer to play it when I’m willing to spend pretty much all day on it and it wasn’t until last weekend that I felt like playing games like this. In the 33+ hours I put in Sat. – Mon. I managed to go up 17 levels (level 52) and complete the 10th story mission, which was actually the only story mission I ever died doing. Leveling up becomes so easy once you get a skell! I was actually trying to hold off on the story missions until I had Nagi and Murderess leveled at their necessary affinity levels but things got a bit tedious trying to do this since the only missions I could seem to find after not very long without doing another story mission were annoying Gathering missions; I tend to not focus on these and then just accept them when I’m at the terminal and see that I’ve already collected everything for them as trying to collect specific items often tends to get annoying. I also can no longer seem to find Nagi after dropping him from the party to do Chapter 9 but I'm sure I'll stumble upon him again at some point. Anyway, the plan for now is to get Nagi and Murderess’ affinity levels up, hit level 60, go up one more Blade Level to get Bio up to 4 like Mechanical and Archoelogical, and do the Off the Record missions before I start Chapter 11; hopefully the game will not make this too tedious…

Continued along with Xenoblade Chronicles X this Sat and managed to find a great grinding spot to quickly level up from 57 to 60 but that was about all the progress I made. I got 3 missions where I just can’t beat the required enemies. One is the “insect you must defeat” from one of the Off the Record missions, another is that White Whale mission where you have to fight off enemies for 3 minutes (on one attempt I went in with 4 skells, lost them all, and then died with 4 seconds left on the clock!!!), and the other is the enemy you have to kill in the second part of the mission where you have to generate 130,000 credits in one tick; I can’t beat any of these challenges and ruined all my skells except for one trying to. So I guess for now my goal in the game is to simply accumulate money to buy better skells for the whole team. Figured I could do this by just leaving the game on since I’m getting 130,000 credits per tick now but I just read that if you’re not actually playing it won’t work past 1 tick. The salvage prices get kind of ridiculous in this game too, to salvage my best skell it will cost over 2,400,000 credits!

I started playing through the Famicom version of Ys earlier this week. I'm playing it on my Retron5 with a translation patch. It's a mixed bag so far.
Some of the game looks really good. The cliffs before entering the shrine have some awesome detail. Adol looks good.
Some of the tunes are reproduced faithfully, but some they totally changed.
Some of the story has been changed. Things have been dropped, things have been added.
The grinding is obnoxious. I nearly level-capped Adol before making it to the second boss, because some of the enemies can do insane damage if you don't hit them right. And then a couple of levels later, they won't deal *any* damage.
Still, it's Ys, and that makes it pretty cool. I'll hopefully finish it this weekend.

Shovel Knight is a great game. I played it constantly until I beat it the first time, but after that, I lost interest.
I just bought a Wii U again. I sold my first one because I didn’t want to pay $50 for used games. Now that the Switch is out, everything is much more reasonable. Plus, I paid far less for the console than I did last time.
The Wii U came with Super Mario 3D World. It’s not great. I’m a huge Mario fan, but this one feels like a step back from Galaxy 2 on the Wii. Mario Odyssey is amazing compared to 3D world, but it’s not so impressive next to Galaxy 2.

3D world is okay. It was fun enough to beat but yeah if you put it up against stuff like Galaxy 2 or even NSMB U it's not as good.
All Wii U games are $0 btw. I have an extensive iso collection myself. :dance:
As for what I've been playing lately. Mana Khemia 2. I liked the first one, and this is even better. Not sure why I never got to this one bitd. I played the Iris series too, and just kind of absent mindedly skipped this and played the Arland series next instead. I have Shallie and never opened it, so I haven't bought any of the recent trilogy either. Just kinda meh on the new entries.
I got to chapter 7 last night. The alchemy system is simple and effective. You can't slack too hard on making stuff because making items is tied to making your characters stronger. However if you synth everything you can, the game is going to be pretty easy. I immediately synth everything I can after getting into the next chapter. Currently, I need to grind out some battles a bit for the points you get to make my characters stronger. Well, I don't have to but I've enjoyed being overpowered lol.
The combat system is pretty easily abused by high speed and any moves where you get time stamps for additional attacks.
Story is herpderp anime nonsense.
In terms of audio my only complaint is that the game only has on track for certain things. So for example the alchemy music WILL be burned into the fabric of your brain by the end.
Visually the character portraits are pretty nice anime style drawings. The dungeon graphics are pretty bad and water is comical. It's PS2 though and overall I really just don't care too much. I can't comment much on other technical aspects because I've had some load issues but it's because the PS2 I'm playing it on has a dodgy laser. I would think it's totally fine on a good PS2 or playing from an hdd but I haven't played that way.
Overall I would certainly recommend it for people that like JRPGs.

I played through it on the PS3 last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. I'm a little disappointed that they didn't add anything new to the PS4 remaster. There were a lot of unused colossi that would have been cool to see, even if they had just added it as a bonus after you finish the game.

I've been playing Star Wars the Force Unleashed. it's.... got its flaws.
it's fun enough, but there's 2 major problems and a 3rd not as major problem
1 - stunlocks. holy hell, some single enemies can stunlock you if you're near a wall and get 3+ free hits, this gets even worse on levels like felucia, which have lots of smaller enemies.
2 - Bosses. this should have been the highlight of the game, but it mostly breaks down into "spam the attack that they don't 100% block and run away when they attack" There's so many times where a cool encounter broke down into "use your force lightning and run away until it recharges" or "x,x,x,b...x,x,xb...x,x,x,b..."
3 - (the minor problem) platforming. it's not a bigger deal because there's not a whole lot of places where you can really fall to your death, but the definition of impassable slope is pretty vague in this game, and more than once the platforms you move with the force just made me slide right off them.

I have been playing Cruisn USA on the N64, which I got for a dollar at the Mile High Flea Market. I remember this game getting panned by critics back in the day and me also looking down upon it when I played it at my dentists office (!) , as the frame rate and music were absolutely awful when played through that 13" CRT he had.
Well, I started playing it, and kept playing, and couldnt put it down. WTF?!?
This game is absolutely awesome. I wonder if I would think differently had I payed more than a dollar for it, but I'm almost tempted to say that it would be worth retail. It just has such a great sensation of speed, and the music eventually grows on you, and the little random elements, such as weaving cars and weird screams here and there, to keep things interesting.
I'm now going through the races at the highest difficulty and the game is still keeping me engrossed. This is probably the best "bad" game I've ever played. It just seems like the game is very self aware about it's cheesiness, and it never loses track that it needs to be fun. It reminds me quite a lot of Road Rash on the Genesis...the controls are similar, the sense of speed, the choppy frame rate, the twanky super catchy music...yeah, this game is great and a ton of fun just like Road Rash.

Been playing Ittle Dew 2+ on Switch since Sat. and love this game! It's basically like the original Zelda except cute/silly. Originally I was getting pretty frustrated by the later bosses but now that I've finally gotten used to them I can't think of a single thing I don't like about the game. Nice graphics, great music in certain parts, occasionally funny dialog, and pretty satisfying gameplay. Already beat the main part of the game and am currently working on the last secret dungeon so I can get the final key to fight the final boss. I highly recommend this one, if anyone picks it up try and get the day one edition with the map and manual. I got the regular edition not realizing that this could still be had for around the same price. :/
Also got Gal Gun 2 yesterday and tried that out, it's a pretty ridiculous game but also a lot of fun. I love fps but hate them on consoles because playing with a controller really sucks compared to keyboard and mouse on a PC but with this one you stand still while you're fighting so it's really not that bad. Sadly this game has a distinction that no other console game I've ever owned has, it froze/crashed during the first hour I played it. :/ Fortunately everything seemed alright after; my game was saved and it didn't crash again in the hour and a half or so I played it for after closing and restarting it.

Also been playing some Donkey Kong Country on the snes classic in preparation for Tropical Freeze on the Switch this Friday.

I realize that post is over a year old but yeah Bloodborne is awesome. The Orphan of Kos is a real mfer.
I'm playing Xenogears. It's...man I don't know it's not particulary good in any one way but I can't stop playing.

Last Xmas we got a PS4 in the house. Over that time I've been playing through Uncharted 2, Ys 8 and Tetris Effect off and on again. I need to set aside more time to game damnit!!
I did have a pretty fun session of Hatris and Cotton on PCE recently too. ;)

I still have quite a few PS3 games that I haven't even opened yet. It's hard to find the time, let alone devote the hours needed to play through a game.

So apparently the last time I posted in this thread I mentioned Bloodborne and well...I'm playing it again. Trying to do it all on 10 VIT. It's a real beyotch at times with such low health. I'm not allowing myself to use the health increasing runes either.
I just killed Micolash so I'm near the end of the game. Debating if I want to try the DLC. Ludwig and Orphan will bend me over lol.

Been running through Bioshock on 360 for the first time in over a decade. What a fabulous game and it holds up nicer than most games of that period. As I don't own any of the sequels I think I'll finally nab the Remaster collection for my PS4. To the first person who reads this post: Would You Kindly buy me one?

I never owned any of the Wii consoles. I found out a few weeks ago of the Konami "Rebirth" games that were available on the Wii marketplace. So naturally, I downloaded the Dolphin emulator and found me the rom file for Castlevania Rebirth. I love it! I'm currently on stage three, I think.

It really is excellent! It's worth picking up a cheapo Wii at a thrift and modding it to get all the rebirth games! Super cool!!

I got all the Rebirth games before the end. I run my Wii thru component on a CRT and they all look excellent. Unless I'm mistaken I think they run in 240p. If not they sure do look nice and sharp.

Thanks to some help from Arhkan via Discord, I've managed to get past the spot I've been stuck at in Galaxy Fraulein Yuna so that's what I've been playing the last couple of days.
On the Xbox One, I've been playing Jedi: Fallen Order.
And Epic right now has Galactic Civilizations III for free and I spent a good chunk of the weekend playing it. https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/galactic-civilizations-iii/home

In an effort to play a little more "current" junk on the newer stuff (PS4) I've been womping away at Destiny 2 with a couple friends. It's really addicting honestly, pretty fun lovechild of Halo and PSO in my opinion.
Also, played a bit of Cyberpunk during the holidays as well as getting into Anthem. I picked up Anthem for $3 at a gamestop a bit ago, so I picked up 3 copies for myself and a couple mates to play. :)

Good on old Ark to help you out. I've owned my copy for nearly a decade and never got very far.

Cyberpunk looks amazing on my Pro. I gotta get back in to it since getting distracted by various other things.

Yeah, I tried awhile ago and even with Google Translate on my phone, I couldn't make much of it out, but now I have a cheap 10" Android Tablet with Google Lens and it's so much better! It translates so well and the screen is larger so I can read it, haha.
Ark helped me because I needed to find the right order in the place I was stuck. His encouragement kept me thinking up new ways to play through it until I found the right path.
But it didn't take long to get stuck in a maze... :icon_cat_stoned:

I really enjoyed the first Bioshock but never played the second. I did play Infinite though and that was another well put together game with a really engaging world.
In that vein though (story driven FPS) I've been playing Farcry 5 and man is it fun. Story is very engaging around a cult that thinks the end of the world is coming and you need to interact with them and their followers in a remote Montana county.

This one was much more straight forward than the first one, but holy moly, some of those boss battles at the end took foooooreverrrrrrr. All in all, a very fun game to play through.

With Summer now in full swing my go-to seasonal games like Chrono Trigger, Ys 1-3, Secret of Mana, and OG Bonk are on the menu. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never beaten Ys Book I&II, only getting to the last boss in Ys II and hitting a brick wall. Hoping to rectify that.

been getting around to finishing more genesis games i only tried in the past. lately been
>Elemental Master on 1 life (sick soundtrack, pretty cool super weapons) >Dangerous Seed (its super easy but spikes at the end, took a couple credits on the last guy. never been a big fan of this one though, i love the art style but i'll take galaga 88 any day in the gameplay department, it's just kind of eh. my favorite genesis namco game is either marvel land or rolling thunder 2) >Snow Bros (now that i kinda get the mechanics and enemy patterns i wonder how far i could get with less continues lol. such creepy as hell enemy designs! the 2 new stages are nice but definitely very out of place visually)
i need to get back to new zealand story eventually. beat the pce version and im not the biggest fan of either port, but i do love some good arrows and balloon action

Lately I've been sucked into Castlevania:SotN again. I'm playing the PS1 version on my Miyoo Mini Plus and am getting close to finishing the inverted castle. Man I had forgotten how much harder the inverted castle is compared to the OG castle. This game is so much fun.

Brothers from a different mother! I too had recently played through SotN on my Chinese handheld. Those medusa heads in that "gear" room with the water STILL drives me mad. (the location where you have to hit the 4 gears till they "click" to open the secret passage). After getting an ending, I've been trying out the plethora of Gameboy games on the handheld.
After messing with the RMenu Kai update to the ODE's, I started playing Powerslave. Originally, I just wanted to test the new software, but 4 weeks later, I'm still playing through it. I find the game to have great balance and pacing along with impressive performance for a 3D game on the ole Saturn.

I saved those medusa head clicky gear rooms until the end, haha! I hate those rooms with a passion. But I cleared 200.6% today! Woohoo! (https://i.ibb.co/XFshn5K/IMG-20240331-152124852-HDR-sotn.jpg) (https://i.ibb.co/51sSVvb/Castlevania-Symphony-of-the-Night-USA-009.png)
Then I made it to Level 9 in Blazing Lazers, but wasn't able to beat the game this time. Still, making it this far on a little handheld felt like an accomplishment. I need to polish my chops before next weekend's MGC!

Since learning how to heart refresh glitch to reach the room beneath the castle gate, I've always wondered why 200.6 was considered complete. Is there some way to reach the room legitimately that I don't know about? The save point down there even seems kind of glitch-y so I really don't think you were intended to reach it. Meanwhile, there are achievements in modern ports of the game for getting 200.6%.
So yeah, heart refresh glitch. Or there's the Sword Bros. glitch to go out of bounds around the chapel towers; I feel like if it's accepted that you need to go out of bounds for sake of completion for the first, why not for the second? You're more likely to have the Sword Bros spell + the bat transformation you need for this one. It'll still get you the achievement regardless of getting the "correct" 200.6%. You can get substantially more defense from Walk Armor just by going outside the chapel towers in both castles. IIRC there's a myriad of other ways to get out of bounds for a few more percent but I never did any others so have no real opinion on them.
