The MilkMan Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 It's been awhile. I'd say a good 3+ years since any electricity ran thru the sucker. Anyway, the other night my Wife said she had not played Clay Fighter in a really long time. So, I hooked the SNES up, and we had at it. For what it is and not taking anything seriously, we had a ball. Tactics like the usual armchair banter and the occasional "shove" to distract your opponent's concentration were the norm. We squared off against each other trying all the different characters in all the different battle rings. Great fun. After enough punching and kicking at each other, we decided to race. So, I thru in Top Gear, which she promptly kicked my ass in the first race. Throttle, nitros, manual transmission, I have to say...not having played this in awhile, for me, it really holds up. A fun little racer title, which I had trouble putting down. I think we blasted something like 5 or 6 races before we called it quits. Normally, after I hook up an older console, I dismantle everything and put away until we're ready for another "go". But, we had so much fun, I think I'm going to leave it out for awhile and try some other games. Zombies Ate My Neighbors is next. Any SNES titles calling your names lately?

Lord Helmet Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I play MK2 on the SNES from time to time. I also like to play Super Punchout!! and a few others I've also been thinking about giving Super Mario RPG a go. The SNES is one of my favorite systems.

Sgt.Pepper1983 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I haven't decided between the snes or the genesis version, probably whichever costs less when I get the money, but I want to try the ys 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Top Gear is great, one of my favorite games of all time. I even have the music tracks from it on my Xbox and Xbox 360 along with the music to Sega's Outrun that I use for custom soundtracks in all my racing games on those consoles.

Video Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Man, I LOVE topgear, I get it for whatever I can find it for (the GBC one wasn't so hot, but it had the rumble thingy too) But 3000 for the SNES was my favorite, the music, and they had tunnels on there, whish I could find a copy to play, I'd love another go at this. It's also got the best Starfox game, and the Super Gameboy Yeah, think I need to dig mine out and play some Mario, haven't actually had the system hooked up in over 8 years now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STICH666 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 I also love Top Gear. It was the first console game I ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) I'm not crazy about Top Gear 3000, though its a quality game. For me, my favorites have been Lotus 1-2-3 and the spirtual sequel to those, Top Gear 1. Its been downhill from Top Gear 2 onwards, though theres been many good games (Neither of the SNES sequels in particular are bad games, they're just not as good in my opinion as the original). After the SuperNes, they stopped feeling like the same series, though I've enjoyed Top Gear Rally 1 & 2 on the N64 (And the Game Boy Advance Top Gear Rally).

nathanallan Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I like Darius Twin and Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts. Oh, and Skyblazer, unsung hero, great game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbid Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 i dont get the love for top gear (or rad racer on the NES), two player was kindof cool in the day, but the game itself was pretty vanilla... its not horrible, but certainly not spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been downhill from Top Gear 2 onwards, though theres been many good games (Neither of the SNES sequels in particular are bad games, they're just not as good in my opinion as the original). I found Top Gear 2 yesterday. Jumps, spin outs, buying upgrades...all cool features, but I agree...Top Gear 1 still is the better game. Still, we ripped it up and had fun with TG2, but there was something about TG1 that we both liked better. Also picked up Chase HQ. Not bad, but only fun in short bursts. Crashing into your targets to pull them over is always fun! Didnt the arcade version allow a 2nd player to shoot at the enemy? To much info to ask of the SNES I guess? My sister is bringing over Zombies Ate My Neighbors tonight. Should be an entertaining weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks kinda cool, may have to hunt for that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MilkMan Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 So, I played the crap out of Zombies Ate My Neighbors this weekend. This maybe my new favorite SNES game! Honestly dont know why I've never played this before. It very addictive, fun gameplay. If you've never played this before, look it up. It's worth a purchase for sure.

LOL OMG That's a good one (hey, they may have had some similar thing in Japan, they had all the cool, or just off the wall weird shit there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 (edited) I was referring to Gremlin's classic Lotus trilogy of racing games for the Amiga computers and CD32, not the computer application. Top Gear is the 4th title in that series and used a new name after they decided not to renew their Lotus license for the branding of the series.

The MilkMan Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) This weekend my sister brought over a sack of SNES titles. She knew I'd playing the SNES lately, and has not touched hers in a long while. The Zombies game is hers too. So, she brought them over for me to check out. I grabbed the bag, reached in, and pulled out...Porky Pig's Haunted Holiday. I groaned at first. And even started to put it back for "another try" at my first selection. But, I stayed true, and put it in the SNES. Ok. So, its a pretty lame game. I decided to spend some time with it anyway instead of just brushing it off as a bad, boring game. And, you know what, it's an okay game. Its fun at times, frustrating at others, but overall okay. I not very far into it, so I'll play it more I'm sure. But, I'm glad it was free...not purchased. I like the little touch they added if you dont move Porky after awhile. He fidgets, then theres a little animation where it looks like he wigs out with fear in the typical Looney Tunes fashion. It made me giggle. Next... Pacman 2: The New Adventures Edited July 20, 2009 by The MilkMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Tyler Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I recently hooked up my SNES for a quick game of Space Invaders, but mostly to test to make sure my modifications worked so I could play Hyper Iria the way it was meant to be played!

Video Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Next...Pacman 2: The New Adventures Pacman 2 is one of the most unique titles of the day, and you get a code to play Pac-man and Ms Pacman on there to (MSPCMND...I think, been tolong) Anyhow, all my friends thought it sucked back in the day, cause it's an atypical game, more akin to one of those Tomogatchi things, only it's fun and has an actual point to it. Great game, not very long, but I bet you'll waste quieta few hours on that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So online resources and good 'ol fumbling around will be my game. I'll have to try that code out. Pretty groovy to have those games hidden in there!

I actually kind of liked Pacman 2 and got very far in it until at one point it got too frustrating. I cant remember when. Nowadays I usually play and replay the following: Super Castlevania, Prince of Persia, Act Raiser and any fighter type game like Final Fight, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse or Street Fighter III.
