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.
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.
