Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was the case or not. Always fascinated me when that happened. I should seek that out actually. Quote
Merzbow Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder is such an amazing beat 'em up, it was never going to be able to run on a Mega Drive but did Sega really have to give us the piss poor 3 (that we didn't even get here) instead? Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 8, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 8, 2019 Revenge Of Death=Adder was arcade only I think, although there may be a Japanese Saturn version. Golden Axe 3 on Megadrive is a bit of a stinker. Golden Axe 2 is a refined version of the first. I think I need to check Growl out. It sounds like it'd be up my alley. I played Alien Storm to death when I first got my Megadrive. It sits between Golden Axe and Streets Of Rage in terms of gameplay. Its got a heck of a challenge. One day I'll finish it. Aladdin on Megadrive is a brilliant game. We used to rent it from our local shop almost every weekend as it was so much fun. The Lion King is similar, but not quite as good. Still worth a look though. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 8, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) I probably played Sonic Spinball more than any other game on the Mega Drive and I have no idea why because I fucking hated it. I just wanted to beat it with all rings collected. Castle of Illusion, Revenge of Shinobi and NHL 94 were probably my favourites. I rented the latter out from Blockbuster about 109 times in a row instead of buying it, like a tit. Ice hockey is shit but that was a great game. Edited May 8, 2019 by Devon Malcolm Quote
Merzbow Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Let's hope they follow up with Sega Rally somewhere down the line. I've also just found out that Sega Rally 2 and the 2007 reboot are both on PC, gonna be trying those this weekend. Quote
Merzbow Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 That'd be great, throw in Outrun 2 or even Coast 2 Coast. Quote

Outrun Coast 2 Coast 2006 is brilliant. It has cross play between PS2 and PSP. Yes, you need a USB to do so, but it's brilliant. Same with Smackdown Vs Raw 2006. Daytona Championship edition is fantastic. I've got the original Daytona on my Saturn, and it plays well. I like unlocking the horse. Manx TT is an overlooked gem. They got a Manx TT machine in to replace the knackered old Super Hang-On in our local arcade when I was failing my A-levels because I was either pissing about on the Internet in the library or in the arcade playing Waku Waku 7 and Darkstalkers. I presume a port of Sega Rally would be dependent on whether they could get the rights to use the cars. I guess they could always go for generic lookalikes. Sega Rally 2 with the Impreza was good.

Paid Members BigJag Posted May 10, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 10, 2019 What monitor/TV do people use for their retro gaming? I've got a wall mounted LCD screen and a ginormous 36inch CRT Toshiba TV. The Toshiba is going to have to go. It just takes up too much room. I can't bring myself to just drop it off at the tip. I'd like it to go to a good home. Maybe a retro gamer would want it? Quote
Merzbow Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Does anyone remember a very, very old "light gun" arcade game with a full size rifle and you'd shoot clay pigeons on a projected(?) image on a wall? Quote

That'll be Shoot Away by Namco https://www.arcade-museum.com/game_detail.php?game_id=9526 . The game needed to be played in near darkness for the best accuracy, so if the arcade was too bright it wouldn't work properly. Quote
Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 11, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 11, 2019 Street Fighter 3 Third Strike turns 20 years old tomorrow. Anybody fancy a few games on PSN or XBox Live? I've got it on my PS4,XBox One and 360. Heck I've got it on the Dreamcast at my Mum's. Quote

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted May 12, 2019 Paid Members Posted May 12, 2019 That whole match is really good. Apparently Daigo would regularly practice parrying that super art, and had already done so against somebody else off stream in the pools stage of the tournament. I watched this video yesterday. Most interesting.Also, if you do enjoy watching competitive fighting games I'd recommend watching the Infiltration Vs PR Balrog match this guy talks about as it's a really good match. Quote
