I actually think the first Zelda is much worse.

Please tell me that’s not a soft ‘G’.

Never really was a Shinobi fan. Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 on the NES were sublime experiences for me and when i finally played Revenge of Shinobi on the genny, it differed too much from what i loved.
I never did play Shinobi 3 back then and recently had a go.
Shinobi 3 is incredible.

@BulkSlash Indeed! A great game that stands the test of time.

A personal favorite. Never played it back in the day, despite owning a genny. Played it for the first time a few years ago. And many times since. Love this Castlevania.

@OldManHermit lol Yeah it was a pretty elaborate death for him not being the main baddie. I did see it in the theatre when i was young. Back then in my town, they let kids in R rated moves if they(the kids) were with an adult.
My dad took me and my younger brother and he hadn’t realised the depth of violence the film would portray. He held his hand over my brother’s eyes for most of the film, but he needed his other hand to consume his popcorn, so i got to see the whole thing.
Love the Resident Evil monsters you are illustrating btw!

Hey, do you guys remember that part in RoboCop where the dude gets hit by the car?
SPLAT
Freaking awesome.

Adds note to History of Sonic the Hedgehog book

Legendary magazine that continues to be amazing. Congratulations!

Some real classics up there. How is Asteroids not already inducted?
I went and voted. It was an easy choice for me.
Metroid.

Here’s mine: (haven’t jumped into 6 yet)
1. Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Not the gba version tho wtf)
2. Ultra Street Fighter 4
3. Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike
4. Street Fighter Alpha 2
5. Street Fighter 5 (final iteration)

My Switch is a creaker.

@Damo You mean ranked by yourselves! (Header)

@OldManHermit I have two friends who are more into the franchise than i, and i had to listen to them both complain about Code Veronica for years after it was released.
Because of this, i had assumed it wasn’t very good, and was surprised when they didn’t remake it before 2, 3 and especially 4.

Oh man, list time!
Here’s my fave Resident Evil games. The list is a bit different from most fans of the franchise, i think.

1. Resident Evil: Revelations
2. Resident Evil 5
3. Resident Evil 4
4. Resident Evil: Revelations 2
5. Resident Evil 6
6. Resident Evil VII
7. Resident Evil
8. Resident Evil 0
9. Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3d
Those are all the ones i’ve played, and i don’t like the bottom 4.

I rewatched this film recently and had a good laugh. The article Damien references (from The Guardian) has a lot of interesting anecdotes on the production.
It was plagued with budget problems(because they had to have Van Damme), logistical problems (location), and problems with the cast (Van Damme allegedly firing 10,000 clams worth of blow up his nostrils a week and a very sick Raul Julia, as well as a green and confused rest of the cast).
Watching it though, i got the feeling that had there not been so many problems, the film still would have not been great. And much less entertaining.

I’ve been reading about this dude on and off today after checking out this (great) article. Really interesting how he got into programming.
I have heard and read the name before(from being interested in the history of the industry and digesting material), and had a vague idea who he was, but i don’t believe i have played any of his work.
Well, that’s about to change.

“You'd be insane not to pick up both”
FAQ:
Can i be totally insane and still pick up both of these?
Why yes, you can.

After i’m done reeling from the flagrant lack of sanity in these prices, i will be grabbing these. Thanks for the heads up!

Nick is a legendary localisor/journalist. I admired him once.
Damn shame.

I always liked Trip.

Never interacted with a Wonderswan before.
Of Nintendo’s luminaries, Gunpei Yokoi was always my favorite.

I fancied myself as something of an entomologist at one point, and spent a few summers cataloging and studying various species at a local nature park (i lost all that research when my backpack fell in a river while i was trying to photograph an ichneumon wasp on a tree branch that overhung the river).
While the world of video games and insects rarely collide, it is a thrill for me when they do, so i thank you for the article.

@Damo I read the header and therefore i know that.
I wanted to type a comment about how everyone who voted on this was an idiot, but in the interest of not wanting my comment deleted by mods, went with a more general complaint, which managed to imply that i didn’t read the header.
Someday i hope to find that perfect comment that manages to let you know that i read the header, insults the people who don’t agree with me, and doesn’t get me in trouble.
Until then!

This is funny. Also, FFVIII is a terrible game.

I do not agree with these rankings.

Never played it. Happy Birthday, Power Stone.

Never played the original arcade version, though it was at my arcade. Just didn’t intrigue me at that point.
But adored Tyson’s on the NES, and was the only person in my clique to beat the titular final opponent.
Super Punch Out!! is one of my favorite games of all time, and one of the few titles (from that era) that i still boot up occasionally and run through.
I’d wish for a new title in the series, but i know it would be awful, so i’ll just be happy the games exist at all.
Happy Birthday, Punch Out!! , you’re one of the good ones.

Since reading the “Under the Castle” review on Sunday, i’ve had my eye on the Playdate.
Our family had a Mac Plus growing up and the graphics give me that vibe.
This game also looks pretty chewy.
Status set to “pining”.

@Poodlestargenerica To play on my Switch, i should have added.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-YUM!
If ever there was a deal to be described as “insane” this is it. I don’t think anyone would have even been bothered had Damian thrown an F-bomb in front of “insane”in the headline.
What a deal! All those games and on top of it all, you get “The Speed Rumbler” , which is essentially priceless.
The Speed Rumbler is Capcom’s greatest arcade game. If you don’t believe me, then shut up.

I hope to someday have easy access to the titles on this machine.

I think it’s stupid that someone would be offended by a warning that warned against offensive content with the premise being that people being offended offends them.

My history with this series is of such substance that i am unable to choose which is best.
The first KoF that i adored was KoF ‘97 , so it remains my sentimental favorite.
‘98 was incredible and it ensnared a close friend who i have been lucky enough to share the series with, lo these many years. We occasionally still play it online, along with other fighters , including KoF ‘02, XIII and XV.
The only installments i never really got on with were ‘94 (love those chunky sprites tho) , ‘99 and i never played XI or XII.
Forced to choose, i would select King of Fighters XIII as the series’ champion.

@-wc- 👍

I dunno , looks kinda like a Sandtrooper backpack to me.

I see a lot of love for this game online which contrasts to how it was received by the online community i was part of back when it released (#GF_Tavern).
I didn’t hate it then(i kinda do now after replaying it a couple of years ago) , but had to keep my positive opinions to myself lest i be flamed to a cinder.
I think the story is fun, the music is excellent as well as the art, and the characters are goofy, but i just despise the junction system with all my heart.
I think VII is the only 3d FF i can stand playing through anymore.

Here’s mine:
1. Blast Corps (N64)
2. Jet Force Gemini (N64)
3. Killer Instinct (SNES)
4. Diddy Kong Racing (N64)
5. Battletoads (NES)
6. RC Pro Am (NES)
7. Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
8. Starfox Adventures (GC)
9. Wizards & Warriors (NES)
10. Goldeneye 007 (N64)
