Also Sega died and was reborn in the 2000s and is barely a software house any more. 2 hours ago, FelatioLips said: I had both, in which was the only benefit of having divorced parents. Good memories of both but it's Mega Drive all the way for me. And I had you down as the resident Nintendo fanboy. This is the right answer (though SNES had better soundtracks).

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'll go with the SNES — I had a Megadrive, they were much better, but I have a great memory of the SNES. People might remember, but there was a farmer boy named Scotty at my school who, when asked if he was going to our (ace) school disco, he replied "No. Stayin' in, watchin' Boon". Well, one autumn, someone asked him what he wanted for Christmas, and he replied "SNES." Everyone chose to hear it as "sledge," so he spent the rest of the term being asked "are your hopes up for your sledge," and "why would you want a sledge over a games console or something." Obviously, after Christmas it carried on with "Are you disappointed you didn't get a sledge?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashback. Wow completely forgot about that game. Zool, Populous, Chaos Engine, Superfrog & Dessert Strike were just wonderful games as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 8, 2018 Moderators Share Posted August 8, 2018 Going waaaay off track now, but did anyone ever play Chakkan and was it any good? It looked great in magazines but I never played it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked great in magazines but I never played it. Not really. The character was slow and hard to control, and the level design was pants. But the character design was very cool and the mags played on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 It got a hard marketing push in the USA 2-3 years ago — had to stand firm against suggestions we get one with the rebuttal "we don't have a garage to stick it in when we decide it's a shit waste of time and energy".

Paid Members Accident Prone Posted August 8, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 8, 2018 About 7 or 8 years ago, back when I worked in Staples, there was a huge campaign to push the fucking things. I thought they disappeared from the face of the Earth in the 90's, but nope, there we were in 2010 giving these disastrous gimmicks the hard sell. It had prime, front-of-store placement too, a big tower of the abominations right in front of the door. They were eventually all shipped backed to the supplier, couldn't even fit them all onto a single pallet. Some middle-management's idea for a 'retro nostalgia' product failed big time.
