These games are classics and are an important part of not only Blizzrd's history but gaming history as well. On a more personal level, I remember playing these games back on my first PC back in the early 2000's. Good times indeed.
I remember seeing the bright yellow packing with Bleem written on it back in the day at my local Best Buy obviously that was before the court cases and such. I wasn't much into emulation back then on PS One and didn't own a PC or Dreamcast at the time but I remember it. Best Little Emulator Ever Made is what people use to say what Bleem meant lol.
@Damo Gaming Historian on YouTube did an interesting video on Bleem a few years ago if anyone is interested.
I would definitely buy a Tekken collection. I still have all my Tekken games discs from 1 up to 5 and 6 and 7 digitally. It's one reason I still have a PS2 and 3 hooked up. I know Tekken 4 I think it was had the previous Tekkens unlockable and could play them on that so that was sort of a collection there. Unfortunately the only way to play that now legally is with a PS2 or original PS3.
Nintendo has just turn into a bunch of bullies as of lately first Palworld and now this. So basically Nintendo thinks that no one else can do video games but them. Maybe they should stop harassing people with their lawyers and use that money to make a console worthy of competing with Sony and Xbox.
@Przemyslaw Not exact the same. If my cartridge for Super Mario Bros stops working I can easily find another copy. Either on online like Ebay, various retro game stores that have online stores or even brick and mortar places. If I buy a digital copy and the company decides to pull the game like what happened with the The Crew then you cant get another copy at all.
One of my favorite games on the PS. I remember playing this alot over at my friend's house. We would play this game during sleepovers once it got dark. Definitely will have to pick this up.
Happy Anniversary to my personal favorite fighting game!!! Tekken 2 was the game that made me want to a PS. I remember playing it at my local Blockbuster and really enjoying it. Then a few months later my friend got a PS along with Tekken 2 and we would play it all the time.
My favorite overall was 3 especially King I played that one so much at home that when I went to the Arcade I rarely lost as King. So many fond memories thank you again!!!
@Guru_Larry That's interesting. I remember reading somewhere that Vega went through several changes even at one point he was in full knight armor till they settled on his final look.
The high price for the PS3 at launch is why I went with the Xbox 360. All the third party games that I wanted to play at the time, GTA IV, CoD, Assassin Creed etc came out for both so yeah I went with the cheaper one. If it wasnt for Sony's high price for the PS3 I would probably have a PS5 connected to my TV now instead of a Series X.
Personality wise I always thought Terry and Andy mirrored Ryu and Ken in fact when I was younger I always thought that they were just cheap knock offs of Street Fighter 2 even though I enjoyed Fatal Fury. It wasn't till a few years ago that I found out that Fatal Fury was made by the same guy that did Street Fighter making Fatal Fatal the unofficial Street Fighter II. You can imagine my surprise when I found that out.
I got this collection mainly for Portrait of Ruin and OoE. Since my 3DS was stolen I wasnt able to finish PoR or even start OoE. Looking forward to both of them.
This reminds me of Ken's Stage music from Street Fighter II and Mighty Wings from Top Gun especially since it was originally going to be Guile's theme.
Kind ironic, Gamestop gave crap to MS the other day over physical media yet a few days later they end their magazine. Practice what you preach Gamestop.
I enjoyed the Soul Calibur series particularly 1 and 2. After that there were just ok. 6 was a step in the right direction but still had a way to go to be like 2 or 1.
I remember following this game for the Xbox back in the day cause my son and I were big WWE fans at the time. Was always annoyed that this game was never released as it looked like alot of fun.
My brother and I got ours the summer of 1990 along with Super Marioland and two copies of Baseball. We played those alot that Summer during our family's vacation to Chicago.
Also loved the Gameboy and it library of games still play them to this day on the Super NT via the Super Gameboy adapter.
The only problem is ShopGoodwill doesn't check to see if it's an authentic one or a repro. Also it's at 2000 now but I can guarantee it will jump higher closer to the end.
I remember Gary Oldman saying in an interview that a Dark Knight game was coming out around the same time as the movie. Never knew why they canceled it.
My favorite Classicvania game. I preferred this one over Super Castlevania as well. I think the fact that they added in parts from Bram Stoker's Dracula was really great. Also enjoyed the sequel to Bloodlines, Portrait of Ruin on the DS.
@Sketcz Agreed, Nightmare on Elm Street is a gem of a game that gets overlooked. I never got to play it on 4 players but I did play with 3 players when I was a kid. Definitely worth of a place in anyone's NES collection.
