I can't imagine how I would have reacted playing that beauty for the first time in the 80s. Kids these days will never know the horror of the screen fading as you approach a high score due to the fucking batteries running out.

Mine Cart Madness was still a massive pain in the arse, I'm here to report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRooster Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 13 hours ago, HarmonicGenerator said: I would have loved to have played Knights of the Old Republic when it came out. I downloaded the iPad version a few years ago - it may have been my terrible gaming skills or it may have been that the game didn’t really work on a touchscreen, but never got past the first level. I had exactly the same experience, although I tried to play it on Steam. I just couldn't get along with it, as much as I wanted to. I suspect I'd have felt differently had I played it when it came out. Another one that comes to mind for me is Final Fantasy VII, although the distance between its release and when I played it was relatively short - Final Fantasy VIII hadn't even come out. However, because I waited before buying it, I found out about the big plot development at the end of disc 1. Most of you will know what I'm referring to, but I won't spoil it for those who don't. I'd love to have experienced that blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a heck of a story, but I'd rather be doing the fighting as actual fighting like in Fable or Mass Effect. Presumably they weren't sure they could do good lightsabre combat so played it safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved to Pro Evo 64 in 1999 and I always wonder what that years FIFA was like compared to the banging Road to World Cup 98 I had it on the PC. Absolute soggy dick of a game, prescriptive and boring. Not even Chris Waddle on co-commo (occasionally) saves it. Of course, the answer you’re all looking for is Freespace 2.

Fog Dude Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'd read some of the buzz around the Monkey Island games back in the day, but didn't get around to exploring them in more detail until decades later. Was in a bit of a lapse between consoles when Super Mario Sunshine released too. The 3D All-Stars re-release was only a timed exclusive and I don't have a Switch yet either so I suppose I'm going to keep on missing out on playing that one via legitimate means for the foreseeable future.
