TwentySixHundred

Some great replies here, after posting i decided to really sit down and work those physics out. I mean don't get me wrong it's not a bad game at all and i would put it somewhere in the middle for a personal ranking. I understand the appeal of a physics based game and i guess it's all about personal preference. Never knew the game was two player either as never had the game when i was younger and no one i know really likes playing retro games with me. So overall i can see the appeal however like i said personally i would rank it somewhere in the middle for 2600 games.

Having said that and i know it's blasphemy but as a young lad i had both E.T and Yars Revenge. Both games are considered the best and "worst" of all time. It may seem strange but i spent more time playing E.T rather then Yars Revenge. *ducking for cover* Anyway like i said everyone has personal preferences and i enjoyed hearing why many find Joust appealing. Great discussion guys thanks ?

Sucks though, i had only had this HP Pavilion rig for a few months now yet my old HP rig lasted me over 10 years without an issue. The other was just slow, screen was fading from old age and outdated. Build quality these days just seems poor TBH even though its fast...

Snap-together sandwich construction has many benefits. But repairability & reliability ARE NOT among them.

Congrats

Congrats, how did you feel upon completing it? Satisfied with the journey? Worth it? 

Worth every minute ?Although the game is massive it's kind of bitter sweet. There is that sense of accomplishment then the reality it's over like a good movie you never want to end. Having said that there is a few spells i missed along the way so there is some replay ability.

Here is some good info on it.   Seems like it was sold in good enough numbers at least.   Maybe not as many as the CD unit from what I'm gathering.   Heard 50,000 CD units were sold, the modem was probably even less than that.

Suffice to say, I've had a few occasions where they were available in the community, or ebay, and I could have bought one.   Price was not terrible, but mildly inconvenient at the time.

It's an interesting device, Doom would have been alot of fun depending on the latency. It's too bad the Jag never took off as for 1993 it was a powerful system. With the right software and more devs on board the system could have really impressed. Thanks for the link ?

Two player Doom in person is a fun "Let's get through the level before the level crashes" thing.   With a modem it would have been crazy bad.

I knew I read that BITD!  Probably that exact blurb.

It's staggering they actually answered the question when obviously having no idea.

The game definitely has it's quirks that take awhile to get used to. It's solid though and and pretty amazing how well they programmed the AI to respond to certain situations. I have the SNES cart aswell, packed away somewhere in the back room. I have been playing on the emulator for convenience anyway so might see how the SNES version stacks up to Genesis. Been a good decade since playing the game so i was surprised how well it played. Usually i play NBA Jam or NHL which really play solid as well. I cant speak for Madden as i have it but im Australian and really don't know American football all that well. However i will say International Soccer has unforgivable flaws. It used to be a favorite of mine in the day but the gameplay is pretty bad. There is no real strategy, its just boot the ball towards goals and try to score

Cool, status update how they compared!

@Joe C. Well an update I fired up the SNES version and as a mini review here is my findings between the two.

Graphics are pretty much on par, most noticeable differences is obviously the text and slightly more detail of the players with SNES.

Sound well i can't pick a winner they both have the same funky beat that sounds great on either system. It's really preference of whether the player likes that gritty Sega Yamaha chip or Nintendo;s Sony chip. I kind of like the gritty Yamaha sound with alot of games however with Live 95 they both sound great.

Gameplay i will have to give to Nintendo believe it or not, despite the advertising ploy back in the day claiming Sega was the master of sporting games... To begin with i was thrown off by separate buttons having individual functions, unlike Sega having the buttons with two or more functions (like modern games).

Other then that, once used to the controls SNES takes the title imo. There is a dedicated steal button and it actually works. Sega's stealing feature is AI controlled meaning the player needs to position on the opponent and wait for the computer to attempt a steal. SNES you can take a swipe and depending the position and circumstance fouls are called if too aggressive or reaching (works well).

SNES version is really easy unless you toggle the rules settings. The most fun i have had is on a harder difficulty setting, then the game plays more realistic otherwise it's just too easy. SNES also has the issue like mentioned by @retrorussell of bad passes and the ball being thrown off court Sega doesn't seam to really have this issue.

Anyway in conclusion id say either consumer would be happy, although if having the choice SNES surprisingly tips the scales imo

I find it amazing at such a young age how engaged she gets to the show. It works wonders keeping her entertained. Thankfully they have all the episodes old and new for free. She already has her favorite characters lol.

My daughter's fav is Prairie Dawn (by far). So much so she owns numerous vintage books, toys, etc. featuring her (thanks eBay). Prairie Dawn shows Cookie a Computer on YouTube is most watched.

There was a music recommendation thing called Last.FM when my kid was small. My recommendation queue was basically jammed with Yo Gabba Gabba. 

I would say not..

lovely

sounds like the start to an awesome day. enjoy.

It's 8:12am on December 31, here!
