    18.5 years after release, PS1 is STILL delivering better gameplay experiences than any other console I have owned, whether before or since.

      N64 is hands down a better multiplayer console I have to mention..

    A chiminea is necessarily a chimney, but a chimney is not necessarily a chiminea.

      What can go down a chimney down or up a chimney down but can't go up a chimney up or down a chimney up?

      an umbrella ?

      A very good guess!

    Boo hoo...TR is an XB1 exclusive (for now). Meanwhile, people are getting slaughtered by ISIR/ISIS over in Iraq. Truly this is a country of spoiled brats.

      People posting on twitter with threats and swearing left and right over this? Spoiled brats. Period.

      And yes, this reflects the lowest common denominator of behavior. But God forbid anyone should strive to behave in a better fashion, for fear of being called ridiculous or arrogant!

      What is TR?

  8. DoctorTom

    Current favorite homebrews -- CV -- Quest for the Golden Chalice; 7800 -- Asteroids Deluxe; INTV -- Space Patrol; 2600 -- Fall Down

    Do "Man of Steel" and "Iron Man 3" mark the beginning of the end of the current superhero movie rage?

      Yeah, we should get back to making movies based on video games. Oh, wait... ;-)

      Topten, it's not gonna work that great. It requires a Wiimote which means you will have a cursor on the screen most likely (think House of the Dead 2/3 on the Wii). Maybe I'll be wrong and Nintendo gets creative with the controller implementation..

      There are too many good light gun games on too many good systems for my to get rid of my CRT. Plus it's too heavy to move..

    Filled up the car's gas tank for $38. I cannot remember the last time it was so cheap to do that.

    Finally finished King's Field 2, which I started in late 1996 and picked back up a few months ago. Absolutely awesome game.

    1. TheGameCollector

      TheGameCollector

      Awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed all four games. Playing them in order, Japanese 1 first I gained a better appreciation for the games, watching them build on each other's depth.

      You've been at it for a long time... xD

      I have the Japanese one but have not played it yet. I played KF1 (US) back in 95/96 and finished it. I bought a PS2 a few months ago just for Eternal Ring and KF4. :)

  15. DoctorTom

    Finally got through "S"!

      33mhz vs 200mhz. 32bit vs 128. Do the math!!

    3. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      You can't compare tehm. PS1 was a completely genre-redefining console (polygons/3D). DC was a visual improvement but still doesn't have as good a lineup of games as the PS1. It's not all about power.

    Got through all the 2600 officially released ROMs. Bottom line from my point of view...22 great games, 61 good games, 70 OK games, and over 350 games that never should have been made. :)

      I hope to get there. Someday..She's actually good at video games just a poor sport when she looses. (I let her win as much as possible)

  22. DoctorTom

    H&H Bagels and Tasti D-Lite...a winning combination.

    Hoping to knock off Link to the Past today. Only started it 22 years ago. Solid B title -- A for dungeons, B for overworld game, and C for repetitive music that makes the mute button my best friend. (And yes, this is a second or third tier title for me, Dep. :) )

      I love the music myself, but I like the sound of the SNES soundfonts in general.

    3. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      It's not the sound, it's the repetitiveness.

    4. AtariLynx Lover

      AtariLynx Lover

      You have a very good point there on the repetitiveness.
