shining force 2 is quite possibly my favorite RPG ever... ah the memories |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I completed Streets of Rage after only 2 days of trying!! I spent about 4 years trying to do it between the ages of 9-14 and couldn't hack the grade. Wow its so nice to be able to go back and complete things that you'd left unfinished in the past. GoldenAxe plays exactly like I remember it, fabulous game, just a little difficult even at my age. Are the followups 2 and 3 worth the download or was the original the best? mrgypsum : Splatterhouse 3 was bloody ace!! so much gore haha |

Ecco was amazing, it had an amazing athmosphere, just a classic. And the graphics where sick back then, and it still looks good. |

"out of this world" (aka "another world") was the game delphine software made before flashback. |
||||||||

|

lol I downloaded Twisted Flipper just now from Jaser's thinking it was some sort of sick and twisted version of Ecco but it turns out that it's merely a Pinball game, bah! |

nothing can compare to Revenge of Shinobi for pure fustration inducement. For a ninja that dude was so fuckin weak and the other ninjas seemed so powerful! I could not stand the way I'd fight my way past all these strange Japanese kung foo people and werewolves only to misjudge a jump and die by falling on some bamboo and crumpling like an origami model in a frying pan. Grrr... I would have destroyed the cartridge to that game in my rage except it was a 3-in-1 with Streets of Rage and the wonderful Goldenaxe so it was spared....barely. |

Shining Force + Shining Force 2 + Shining Force 3 + Shining Forces for Game Gear= 2 cool I find Street of Rage 1 pretty easy until I get to those twin bitches, they're hard to hit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I never got to play 3... that's for saturn right? I remember wayyy back when I used to subscribe to some Sega publication, I saw an add for Shining Force 3 and thought "oh god, oh shit, this is the game I've been waiting for" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but I never once saw it in stores.... didn't much matter because I didn't own a saturn, and actually the fact that I never saw it in stores made me feel better about not having saturn (which by and large, I think kind of sucked.) :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Saturn was really really badly marketed if I remember correctly. My mate had one and raved about it for a while until N64 came out and was the next big thing. Saturn lacked the sort of good games which made the Sega Megadrive and mastersystems so good. |
||||||||
|

"Saturn lacked the sort of good games which made the Sega Megadrive and mastersystems so good." yeah, that's how I feel too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then again the games on the N64 (which was a very popular console in its time) were also pretty grim. All so kiddyish and the sort of games that you played on your own rather than with your mates. They really lacked a Mortal Combat or F-15 StrikeEage game because Super Mario and Mariocart get really really mundane after a while. I doubt I will ever have the please of cracking open a bud and playing a console with my mates and seeing how much blood we could possibly spew during a game (games like SplatterHouse were great for that). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, I played N64 for the first time at a mates house and I really loved mariokart 64, so I got the system and the game for christmas. Within 2 months I had traded it in for playstation because I beat mariokart on every possible setting and hated all the other games (besides mario 64, which I had also beaten). At the time, RPGs were my favorite genre of game (and its still one of my favs), and N64 simply did not have any RPG's. 'Quest64' was still months away and I'm glad I didn't wait for it becuase it was shit. Oh, and Zelda is NOT an RPG. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you don't see Zelda as an RPG? I think Ocarina of time was the only really good game on the N64. I loved banjo-kazooi (typo?) on the playstation and the other really good sporting games and RPGs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah and it was as good as the first two, miraculously. Actually I think there were three ''chapters'' released while the Saturn was on its deathbed. I don't have SF3 so I've never beaten it, but it was way gnarly for the quarter of it I've played. The first two are among my top 20 games ever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked splatterhouse 2 better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it is in a way, but because it doesn't have a level or stat system, it felt more like an adventure game to me. I think it may have been because pretty much every RPG I had ever played at the time was turn-based, so by todays standards I guess i'd consider it more of an RPG. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there any kind of saturn emulator out there and a SF3 rom? if not I may just have to see about getting one online or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do these emulators and the games which download with them take up a lot of hardrive memory? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes there is, i can remember the name of it, i have it on my pc at home , right now at work, i could send it to you when i get to my pc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that would be all kinds of awesome! :) though I am leaving for work in... 4 minutes. :( I'll try to find you tonight after I get off work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the emulator is like a .exe file, and the rom is a different file, they dont really take up too much space |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont have sf3, but i have the emulator |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, great! so I can download basically all the games then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have about 350 roms and about 7 emulators, its takes up only 1 gb total |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Depends on the game and platform. SNES/Genesis roms will be about 1-3mb on average, NES games will be like 32-256k. If you want to go higher end they get alot bigger. Neo Geo roms will go from 4mb up to like 100mb... anything that was on CD (Sega CD/Saturn/PS1) will be 200-700mb. I downloaded Silpheed for Sega CD a while back, it's 350mb. And Arcade (MAME) will be from 8k to 1gig! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm pretty sure zophar.net has emulators for everything imaginable, but no roms. EMule is good for getting large and lesser-known roms, that's where I got Silpheed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, i dont go above genesis and snes - once you get up there, they start getting huge... just like ophecks just said :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my mate had an empulator for the N64 which he downloaded off of a P2P program and he had real trouble because of the size of the games. His computer has been terribly slow since... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
N64 games are just carts, they're not big at all. But you need a big strong manly computer to run the emulators smoothylike. Neo Geo roms are often just as big but they run nice on pretty much any computer. |

I'd just like to point out your total spot-on-ness about thunderforce IV ophie, i'm sure i've said this before, but FUCK that's one great game. Might be my all-time favourite too. More Best Games of Fun: - Alisia Dragoon - Desert Strike - Gunstar Heroes - James Pond 3: Operation Starfish - Klax - Rings of Power - Super Hydlide - Wiz 'n' Liz ...apart from all the classics n'shit. All the sonic games were awesome, until sonic 3d anyway. MAN that sucked. Strider, the streets of rage trilogy, kid chamelon, ohhh yeah. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got strider for genesis but then was let down when I discovered it wasn't the one I remembered (probably nes.. the one where you get some sort of boots to walk across lava or something). Of james ponds, I only played #1. I don't remember it 100% but kind of liked it I think. *ALL* I do with my life now is play videogames (+other electronic entertainment). Electronic entertainment is my heavily abused reality escaping drug.. I'm talking like 15 hours electronic entertainment + 1 hour of some other crap + 8 hours sleep per day on days I don't work. Plus I don't work that much. I really should die. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well its better than using real drugs, there's nothing wrong with gaming excessively if its something you enjoy and you find it a way of escaping the shitty reality of the real world. What consoles do you play on?? anyone know if there is some sort of Al-Qaeda shoot-em-up avaiable on any console? I really am in the mood to for this type of game and at the moment the closest I have is Unreal Tournament with an Osama bin Laden skin. A crazy frog killing game would also be ace :) |
||||||||

Amazingly, there is, but it sucks and blows six ways from Sunday. It's called Fugitive Hunter- War on Terror and it's for PS2. |

Alisia Dragoon is GREAT! Some good medieval sounding music too! Other greats: Golden Axe 2 Cool Spot Home Alone Streets of Rage 2 Spider-Man (The old one with the Kingpin) X-men 2: Clone Wars Vectorman (some great songs too) Can't think of anymore at the moment..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I don't honestly think that Goldenaxe 2 stacks up well against its original which appears to be far better. I've never completed the first yet when I downloaded the sequel yesterday and ran it on the emulator I clocked the whole thing in under 20 minutes! The characters looked better but sadly the music which was so fantastic on the first has become really upbeat Mario-ish music and the shound effects are shocking. I think the worst thing was the final boss, I thought he was just another person you have to kill and dispatched of him easily before being told I'd won..no buildup, no extra "final boss" music, ziltch. the game looks rushed :( Orphecks : you can tell it sucks and blows from the screenshot, look at the way Mr. Laden is holding the end of the gun with his deformed hand...screenshit |
||||||||

cool spot is like the only cool blatently advertisement themed game in history probably. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker was a pretty blatently one funded by his record label :) make it 2 blatently advertisement themed games |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was good though? I never played it. Well IF you can do the moonwalk then it HAS to be good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you can do a great many fabulous moves amigo, including the moonwalk, the Travolta moves, the little hop move which ends on him balancing on his toes, the dancy kicks and gyrating hips and all manner of moves with his hat rolling down his arm and boomeranging it etc. |
||||||||

w..0...W... *grabs crotch* HEE- HEE! Woo! *molests a child* Ahhhhh... can you molest children in that game??? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well funny you should mention that because the aim of the game seems to be to dance around and free children who are locked in a strange warehouse place where there are all these baddie guys are. when you walk past them the little girls go "oh michael!" before running away hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"look at the way Mr. Laden is holding the end of the gun with his deformed hand...screenshit" hahahaha, before you typed that I was showing that screenshot to my friend and pointing out the fucking baseball mit of a hand that osama has.... hahaaha that really is the epitome of a screenshit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gunstar heroes is awesome too! had forgot about that one. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahaha a baseball mit! that is exactly what it is! it looks like he about to shoot himself in the hand - But in fact its the totally dislocated arm thats even worse, look at the bend on that thing. Unreal! |
