I don't dislike Nintendo but I'm getting pretty afraid for them here.

I didn't really understand what they were hoping to accomplish with this platform when they announced it and I still honestly...

It looks mostly like their target is "Let's Play" videos which show loads of gameplay footage and in most cases entire games. Most review shows like AVGN are covered by fair use.

It's dumb really,...

Not defending the rest of his post but I agree about Mega Man. I feel the Mega Man games are on the easier side compared to the average NES game but it's hard for me to be a fair judge of them as...

I thought this was going to be about how games used to teach you how to play them through their gameplay and not tutorials, but it's about people being dumb.

People were always dumb, we just...

It's my favorite version of Starflight, definitely.

Mario 64 is always an odd topic for me. I appreciate it as an innovative title but even in its day I didn't really enjoy it as a game. Honestly that whole early 3D console period was an awkward time...

If they do reprint it, it'll likely be alongside their next game's release. Probably in another "starter pack" style deal.

Goodwill has gotten ridiculous, I kind of gave up on hunting games there a few years ago. They come to the realization that some old games are worth money and suddenly they assume they all are.

He's nothing if not predictable.

The original version is just as bad a game by today's standards. There's nothing horrendous about the NES port that the PC88 version does better. Some of the other early Japanese PC versions are okay...

I don't really care for it myself, but Hydlide isn't broken it's just very archaic. It was one of the first attempts at the RPG genre by a Japanese developer and you really have to look at it in that...

Haha, I didn't even notice. What's with all the old-thread bumps lately? Not that I mind really.



Indeed, this is pretty common. I've had a lot of times where people knew what they had but I...

If we're talking about the NES game then no, you're probably not. There was a pretty long thread about people's thoughts on it not too long ago.

NES + Super Mario Bros. + a five year old. Of course it was a good time. The Atari 2600 went up the attic for quite a few years after that birthday.

Tough fight between the NES and the SNES for me. I have more games for the NES and many have more nostalgia attached to them but the SNES was kind of a high water mark for Nintendo. The ease of...

Nice find on Moonwalker. It's become a bit of a collectible since MJ's death. I always had fun with it as well even if it isn't truly a fantastic game. It's got some charm to it.

EDIT: Wow,...

I did have a lot of fun with Turok 2 in its day. Getting your friends with the cerebral bore just never seemed to get old.

I still get motion sickness with 3D platformers for some reason. I'm fine with 3D otherwise but once I have to start completing platforming challenges I start feeling seasick. I just stay away from...

DD3 is indeed is a pretty decent port, and that's where everything goes wrong.

The Genesis version of DD1 would've been fantastic if they hadn't tweaked the enemy speed and stamina since it...

Quoted for truth. It's one of the best licensed games on any systems of the era but it's criminally overlooked and undervalued. It's also the closest to a Metroid experience that you're going to get...

I think Sega-16 fills a niche that the SNES doesn't really need since nearly every reto-gaming website and forum on the Internet already essentially a SNES fan site.

And that's fine. In a perfect...

^for the first two I've just never been able to get the hang of isometric games. I respect Landstalker quite a bit though it's not my cup of tea.

I don't particularly hate Sonic CD but just as you...

I've been looking for a the DOS version CD forever. I passed on it once and I never saw it again.

I still have it from some abandonware site but it would be cool to have the CD.

While there are a few games on the N64 I really enjoy I always kick around the thought of selling my N64 stuff off because it just sits around. I don't hate it but I've never been a fan for multiple...

The Wing Commander games and the MechWarrior 2 trilogy were my most loved DOS titles of all time.
