To be honest I only remember buying one SNES game from a shop, Killer Instinct, all the rest were Car Boot sales for a few pounds. I didnt get in to console gaming until my teens
When I first saw EWJ4 was going to be on that new console which was failing, I did think this is a marketing ploy, and then to never hear anything else, I'm sure I'm not the only one that is NOT surprised.
Just give us a full collection of remasters of the other games and I would be quite happy.
Damn, got the theme tune for the cartoon in my head now (it used to be my start up tune for my Windows XP PC back in the day )
WATA admitting it knows nothing about games? SHOCKER!! They could of just done a simple Google search. But glad the eBay post has been taken down though.
I used my memory pack rubble pack combo (has a switch on the side to select the mode - cant remember who made it something similar to a "Jolt Pack") to save my WWF No Mercy Custom Character (Hooligan) as I have one of those cartridges that resets itself every so often
Mine has to be the "Cruiser" for my C64:
So the nearest to that was the Zip-Stick, but there was a resistance toggle on the stick so that if you playing a waggle game (Summer Games, etc) you could turn that down and hold the base to shake the stick
The problem is someone will be stupid enough to buy this, not knowing this is not the original.
And this is a prime example of WATA being massive money laundering scam artists.
Just went on eBay and reported it as being false advertising, wonder if they will care
Thing is Crazy Taxi worked so well mainly because of the Offspring soundtrack, having a 3D plane world that's going to be too confusing for my old brain
The upgrade does looks great but never played the 32X version. My first Mortal Kombat was II on the Master System, that was really cut down, but then I progressed to III on the SNES, then Ultimate III. Damn, I still remember Striker's Brutality HP, LP, HK, LK, HP, LP, LP, LK, HK, HP, LK, LK, LK
Oh God, I still have my original release disc, was it this one that had the scratch and sniff of burnt rubber on the disc? Or was that Gran Turismo 2?
Anyways, just remember playing the Sunday league and winning the Mazda Demio - A Spec many times so I could sell it and then upgrade my car.
It's sad that everything is going down EXCEPT for their NFTs, just read the article in Retro Gamer as it was 50th Anniversary edition. They do say that the new VCS is too expensive and this just show it.
I only own one game in that list, Mario Sticker Star, I was travelling around Central America with it. I know its got its haters, and I can understand why, but I quite liked it.
These collectors, have they actually play all of these games? I collect games, but only ones I want to play Seeing games still in plastic seal is just depressing to me, as a whole group of people took so much time and effort to create a game for you to play and its just sitting there not fulfilling the reason for its creation. It's like people who buy a Ferrari and all it does is sit in the garage getting covered in dust.
First time I saw it, I thought, no they have screwed the entire series, then I played it and damn was I wrong, it became one of my favourite games, except for the sailing so slowly. When the Wii U re-master came along with a rumour of a faster sail, I jumped and my love for it came back.
Didnt have a go on this, but did play the Wipeout XL Arcade:
4 pound a go but damn it was fun as you could do two player co-op, one as weapons, one as driver
I only have only a few Xbox games, but Gun was one of my favourite games on it, kind of a precursor for Red Dead Redemption.
But i will say that Halo 2 was also good, but it was annoying as hell when you finished it as you needed to play 3 to finish the storyline but it was never released on Original Xbox
I watched the first two and they just didn't work in my opinion. Just leave the 90s shows in the 90s, just like the Big Breakfast and TFI Friday, they dont work anymore
Loved playing the original, never actually raced, always destroyed the other cars, also had the good ole red blood patch.
Also have the DVD of Death Race 2000, love it, when the daycare workers wheel out the people on wheelchairs, but instead of going for them the driver goes for the workers as they are worth more points. And when the person goes after the baby for double points, but turns out its just a doll with a bomb so blows up the car. Just brilliant
Timesplitters 2 blew up my original pre-order PS2, played it so much smoke came out the back and burned. Got that game out luckily then smashed up the console in front of some young teenagers saying "Life is never absolute, make the most of it" Think I might of scarred them as PS2 was pretty new back then
I had that Tomy Pac-Man game, but (dont know if this was a localisation thing to the UK) it was called Munchman and released by Grandstand, I even remember the theme tune before you started playing
I have boxes of C64 disks that havent been tested for god knows how long, They are all probably useless. Is there anywhere I can donate them? For them to back up? If they still work obviously
I remember when these originally came out a cards and every school banned them, and then they were made illegal to be sold to people under 18.
Wow look at the stuff kids can do nowadays.
Still have the original on my C64 with Lightgun First lightgun game I every played and loved every minute (when my big brother would let me have a go as it was his computer at the time)
I was so glad I was waiting for the switch physical, I do feel sorry for the PS4 guys who fell for it I will probably pick it up when the reviews of this one turns up
In my mind PS1 and Saturn are Retro, but anything after is not in my mind. But maybe the old computers (C64/Amiga etc) should be called something different, Classics? Or something else I dont know.
