I still had my PS One and PS2 memory cards from my late teens/early 20s up until a couple of years ago. Most of them were save files from games I beat that for nostalgia sake I could go back and see the endings again if I wanted to.
It was suppose to be a tie in with his Life in Hell comics. Originally that was what Matt was going to pitch to Fox for The Tracey Ullman show, but was afraid he would lose the rights to his comics so he created the Simpsons while in the waiting room of Fox.
Still have my copy on SNES. I remember being a teenager and being blown away by how realistic this game was compared to other soccer games at the time.
One of my favorite PCs games of all time. In fact I just bought a laptop for Black Friday just to be able to play Heroes of Might and Magic and WoW again.
I never knew that there was suppose to be a movie till years later after the game came out. I always found it odd, when I walked into my local Gamestop at the time to see The Rock's picture on a non wrestling game. At that time his popularity really exploded, I believe Scorpion King just hit theaters and of course he was big in WWE. So I just figured Midway was jumping on The Rock bandwagon and figured by having his face on it It would sell better.
Honestly though that caused me to not even play the game because it made me think that it was a crap game that they were trying to push using The Rock.
I remember going to my friends house almost everyday to play this game as he had a copy of this on the Famicom. I was so jealous of him at the time I couldn't wait to get my own copy on the NES.
I don't know about that. I had the timing down so that I was able to match the Star everytime I played. Of course that was on the original NES game. Maybe on the remakes they changed it.
@LowDefAl No that comment speaks on how it's harder and harder to find CRT tvs regardless of reasons. Use to be that I could walk into a thrift store and find at least a half dozen for sale not so much anymore.
@UK_Kev While that is true it's getting harder and harder to final CRT TVs and then to find one that isn't going to crap out in a year or two. Heck even my local Goodwill and other thrift stores have stop accepting them altogether.
Final Fight CD was my main go to for the Sega CD. Although I did enjoy the Sega CD version of NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat. That was due though as those were the first home ports I played.
Not having any of the Batman games or the Gremlins 2 games included on the Sunsoft collection is a real missed opportunity. I know it's probably due to some licensing issues, but come on if the licensing issues for GoldenEye and TMNT were worked out surely the licensing for Batman and Gremlins can be. They aren't as complicated as GoldenEye or TMNT was.
To be fare Codemasters announced alot of stuff and it never seen the light of day. Just think though, if Codemasters did bring this out for the NES, maybe the Playstation would have never existed. 🤔
My first video gaming experience was Baseball on my cousins Atari 2600. I visited him during the summer.of 85 and he had an Atari with a bunch of games, but the first game I played was Baseball.
I would almost feel sorry for him but I don't. If he wasn't being a scalper he wouldn't have been in that type of situation. It's just Karma paying him back, that's all.
I use to listen to that station all the time. I was even listening to it when that happened and thought that they would at least be smart enough to have the contestants sign release forms. After hearing what happened I knew that was going to be the end of the Morning Rave.
Never really heard of these games till now. Teenage me probably would have been all over these if I knew about them especially if I saw them at my local video store. I'd most definitely rent them for a weekend.
Now though, unless they are at a good price or go on sale I will pass. Not interested in paying alot for another Capcom beatem up clone.
That makes no sense obviously a mistake on Capcom's part. In the level that you fight Abilgail in the Final Fight you can clearly see the Statue of Liberty in the background.
First played this game on the Castlevania Double Pack for GBA. It was this game and Harmony of Dissonance on one cartridge. Enjoyed this game so much that the fact that it's sequel was on the DS was the sole reason I bought a DS.
Normally I'd jump at this, but with the release of Cowabunga Collection I don't see the point. It's not like it's some lost game that can't be played on a current system.
This was the game that brought me back to the Mario Kart series and introduced it to my son. This game and Star Wars: The Forced Unleashed are the only 2 Wii games that I will use motion controls if allowed different control options.
I don't remember now if I unlocked everything but I played alot of it. I was really excited to see the return of Coconut Mall in MK8D.. Now if only they would bring back some of the options that Mario Kart Wii had to MK8D like selecting the item types for races I would be a happy person.
I remember playing this game once when I was a teenager with my friends. A bowling alley down the street from where I lived had it. I have never seen it since.
@Jeremazing Or Activision wanted to much or some other thing could have happened that they couldn't included Crash. Just because they worked with them in the past doesn't guarantee that they will again.

Re: Now's The Time To Hack Your 3DS
@RadioHedgeFund. You can still buy SNES games though places like eBay and even retro gaming stores which are all over now.
And by your logical I should be able to walk into a mesume and walk out with the Mona Lisa I mean the no one gets money from it anymore.
Stealing is stealing no matter what you tell yourself to make yourself feel better.
Re: Now's The Time To Hack Your 3DS
Piracy is still piracy no matter what and is still illegal. If people wanted those games so bad, they should have bought them when available.
