First game you beat?

[First game you beat?]

i won the championship in ring king when i was 4.

but the first platformer i really beat was chip and dale rescue rangers when i was eight. it was very satisfying.

[Have you ever become obsessed with a video game title or series?]

a little bit. i used to play metal gear solid 1 & 2 just about everyday from 2001 to mid 2003. i allmost had all the dogtags and was half-way through the plant in extreme mode in MGS2 when my memory card reformatted itself.

i don't play games much after a tramatic loss of my saves, same thing happend to guitar hero and NBA Street vol.2.

 

and i guess i was into mario when super mario bros. 3 came out, but i don't think that ever really reached obsession.

[Purr Pals: Any Thoughts?]

my room mate bought this game like a month ago and she got bored with it after about an hour. but she sold it to an 11 year old and the kid really likes it.

i played it for about 1/2 hour and it was.. okay. the game is like nintendogs without the talking and with minigames. if you like these games then go for it.

[What games suck more than E.T.?]

Hmm...I actually liked Brutal, Paws of Fury myself. Kinda easy if I remember, but eh...my Sega CD's been packed away for years so I may have lost my desire to play it after all these years.

 

it's easy up to a point. you can push the opponent into the corner and light kick them to death, but eventually that's what the computer does to you. it takes the game like 3 seconds to realize you're blocking and only 1 second to light kick, so yeah, it gets a little impossible.

[What games suck more than E.T.?]

Brutal: Paws of Fury sucks ass. I have it for Sega CD and I can honestly say that I will never play that piece of shit again. Completely unplayable. The only reason I bought it was because it just looks ridiculous.

[MYST Poll.]

i've only played the game once and i got stuck in the F***ING LIBRARY!

[Which of the 'last gen" consoles do you own?]

i have a ps2 and i got a dc a few months ago but i haven't really played it much.

[Nice]

Neat! Although I'd rather get one that looks like the NES.

like this?

[The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of my journey today]

Spot: The Video Game is shit. it's Reversi with 7up spots.

it tricked me as a kid, i thought it was goint to be like the cool spot game for genesis.

but you can get good deals on that site, it gets less traffic than ebay.

[console war]

I'm writing a research paper on pretty much predicting the winner of the next gen consoles. so, if the next-next gen (ps4, nitnendo Wiisphere,xbox 540, etc.) came out tomorrow, who would you declare the winner of the next gen?

[Sega CD Games On Jaguar CD]

You can't play the Sega-CD games on the Jaguar (which has been stated many times here), but you can play them on a modded Xbox. There's a SegaCD emulator for the XBox that allows you to either play images of the Sega CD's or use the original Sega CD's in the XBox drive.

 

Here's a link to one of them called Neo Genesis.

 

AWESOME!! I'm so getting that, now I just have to mod one of my Xboxes

 

I've seen a few compilation DVD images where there were a bunch of Sega CD games placed on a single DVD with a nice boot menu. At least I can use this emulator to play Sewer Shark and original Night Trap (the Congress banned edition) since my Sega CD unit has an unfixable CD drive.

 

I saw the compilations some time back one of the Xbox binary newsgroups.

damn. maybe i need to get an xbox....

[What are your favorite Mario games?]

no super mario allstars? i voted mario 3 for platformers, but i've always preferred allstars because of the save feature.

Those are just updated versions of previous games (Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 & Lost Levels), not truly new titles. Again, I've only got so many choices. I've got to cut it off somewhere. If I counted 'All-Stars' as a separate title, where do I draw the line? Is Super Mario Bros. DX separate? What about Super Mario 64 DS?

isn't mario kart ds the same as mario kart 64 except with online mulitplayer? allstars is the same as mario 1,2,3,lostlevels (and sometimes super mario world!) except with the ability to save.

but i understand why it's not included.

[What are your favorite Mario games?]

no super mario allstars? i voted mario 3 for platformers, but i've always preferred allstars because of the save feature.

[disposable 2600's?]

the title of this post made me think you found/invented a disposable atari... made of cardboard and alluminum foil or something.

but yes, anything free is a good find

[Post Your Wii codes!]

you probably won't see my miis too often. i use the nintendo usb wifi connecter, so i'm only online when the wii is on and i'm using one of the channels.

[Post Your Wii codes!]

i've also added everyone. my mii parade is up to 43!

[Do I have a defective Wii? (shut up i know that sounds bad)]

my launch wii also makes the noises, and occasionally it makes the spoon-in-a-blender noise. which kind of worries me.

[Great Deutsche Atari Commercial]

"Wer hat schon Atai gespielt!"

 

awesome.

[PSP Recommendations?]

if you get metal gear acid 1 and 2 just don't paly 2 before 1. 2 worked out some gameplay things and if you get used to it it's really hard to go back to the first.

 

if you're into all things metal gear, there's also "Metal Gear Solid Digital Graphic Novel" for PSP.

[I Got One! (yet another Wii story)]

it didn't come with an sd card because it doesn't really need one..

[Poll for Systems, Which to keep, Which to Ditch]

since you're already keeping the heavy sixer, 7800 and the nes i say keep the sega genesis/32x/cd set up and if you really like the dreamcast and saturn keep those too.

 

also if it's just space that's an issue and not money, keep the portables.

[Just got a PS3 and whats the deal with the controller?]

Is it smaller than the dual shock2? Also, it seems the controller gets stuck in a position and I see my character moving even when I am not doing anything.

 

well, it is lighter than the dual shock so maybe that's the problem.

as for the moving around problem, it might be you turned on the system/controller while the analog stick was being pushed.

[Do people hate the 3D Sonics on here too?]

But it IS his fucking name! In Japan, anyway. They decided to change it to Eggman in America to, I don't know, make it consistent with other countries. I dunno, either that or they just wanted to piss off what few Sonic fans are left. Sammy's been doing a pretty good job of that ever since they purchased Sega.

 

Annnnyway, Sonic Heroes wasn't awful, but I didn't like the puzzle aspects which forced you to stop running and swap between characters. All the characters looked like they were wearing Prince-style butt chaps, too, a design decision that still leaves me scratching my head.

 

However, Sonic the Hedgehog 360 actually WAS awful... you may think you still like the Sonic series, but that'll change real fast once you play this. Hideous camera angles + frustrating trial and error gameplay + lengthy load times + creepy interspecies relationship = the worst game of 2006 without the words "50 Cent" in it.

 

JR

holy shit are you serious? that is crazy and i am a damn idiot. Wow, I didn't know that at all, well growing up w/ sonic the hedgehog 2, and the adventures of sonic the hedgehog tv series, i just kind of always thought that robotnik was his real name....this will literally change my life forever.

 

i feel the same way... and it's a bad feeling. though i don't think i'll ever stop calling him dr. robotnik.

 

anyway, heros was dissapointing. i played sonic & knuckles and Sonic 3 to death when i was younger then i saw sonic heros at gamestop shortly after it came out and thought to myself "hey, a Sonic game! it must be good!" wrong.

it's maybe okay, but it's definatly not Sonic.

 

back in Kindergarten ('92) I had a pair of black sonic the hedgehog shoes and my friend Adam and I used to run aroud pretending to be really fast. that was more fun than sonic heros.
