Re: Turrican's Amstrad CPC Port Has Just Got An Incredible 128K Remaster

MysticWangForce

@ArcadeRacingCENTRAL I had a 6128 though not the plus in the video. I always felt very chuffed with it especially since it had a disk drive.Something i lorded over my c64 owning mates. But the cpc suffered from lots and lots of really bad ports. thats the real shame years later i know now it had very capable hardware. But most places just didn't or couldn't make use of it.

Re: 30 Years Ago, Sega Took Its Biggest Gamble With Saturn And Failed

MysticWangForce

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say i still don't think it would have "won" that generation against playstation. If sony maintained the same approach but sega got a better start i still think people would have opted for a playstation because it was new and edgy. Even if more 3rd parties had been involved and more ports happened. Thats just me though! And its no shade on saturn. (only jupiter could do that.... badumtish)

Re: 34 Years Ago, Nintendo Begged Fans Not To "Risk" Importing SNES Consoles From Japan

MysticWangForce

I wasn't exactly very aware of the difference in release schedules as a kid. Though I also knew some stuff tended to come out first in the USA and Japan and we just got it later because raisins. Now given the modern world it'd be silly not to release things internationally on the same day in most markets. Also a console was a big ask for me in the 80s or 90s. It was usually a Christmas present so I'd often be waiting a long time for one. Never seemed to notice back then TBF given the child like perception of time.

As for imports? Never seemed to do that indie video game shop in the ridings shopping centre in Wakefield any harm, they seemed dto so a roaring trade IF you could afford it.

Re: 30 Years Ago, The Grandfather Of Game Journalism Told 2D Fighting Game Fans To "Get A Life"

He definitely gets an "ok boomer" for that one. He must have really been having a bad day when he wrote that. I don't much care for fighting games myself because im rubbish at them and just prefer other genres. I will happily acknowledge the mad skills of people who can somehow work combos and chain things together creatively. I wish i had your skill. Signed a button masher....

Re: GoldenEye, Quake, & Others Listed Among This Year's World Video Game Hall Of Fame 2025 Finalists

Quake for me. Even though I actually couldn't play it on my pc at time of release and. Didn't have a N64. I can actually remember playing angry birds on my phone and was amused I could get around the adverts by just turning off the WiFi or data. COD4 I had for my ps3 and it was indeed seismic. But after having played nighdives excellent quake remaster I think it would be the perfect addition. But that's me.

Only ever bought 2 standard edition games from them. Quake 2 and tomb raider remaster. Both arrived, both worked, everything about the boxes, printed media and disk seemed absolutely fine. And I was content with the pricing and have no issue with the wait time as I've too many games to play as is and I've struggled to find time to game at the minute anyway. all I can say is I've been satisfied with the service, but all this feedback from others certainly tempers my opinion of them.

Re: This $200 Gaming Handheld Pays Tribute To The Iconic Nokia N97

MysticWangForce

Didn't care for the n97. Now the N95? That was my last ever nokia before i finally jumped ship from symbian to android.The damn thing was a beast. What i would consider to be my first true smart phone. I dropped it down the stairs once and while it did survive it also sorta blew apart. no worries though all more or less went back together and sourced a new screen off ebay and all fixed. Ha no chance of doing that with all the android phones i've had.
