@GTV reviews the Cosmic Fantasy 1-2 Switch collection by Edia, provides examples of the poor English editing/localization work. It's much worse for CF1. Rated "D" for disappointment, finding that TurboGrafx CF2 is better & while CF1's the real draw, Edia screwed it up...

did you have to remove a wall to get it into your house?  not because its too big to get through the door, but the forklift you need to lift it is

Lol no I carried it in. I really need to get a better dolly though, one that can go flat. That would have been much easier.

But yeah this effer is about 200 pounds so anyone looking should prepare for a hernia.  :dance:

Had some nice ones arrive today. Winds of Thunder, Smash 64, Shantae (vita) and a nice PS2 and some tv show series on dvd. Nice blast of packages before Christmas.

Runbow is like relay race style Super Smash Brothers on crack.  Up to nine players at once.  Super fast paced and crazy...  Great party game and well worth picking up.

Never played the Steamworld games before, but am enjoying both of them.  Definitely plan on finishing both of them soon.

Oddworld Stranger's Wraith is a pleasant surprise and a lot of fun.  Never heard of it until Limited Run Games decided to put it out.  I think its a higher quality game than most of the titles they publish.  Dialogue is hilarious the way the characters talk.

The Art of Atari is amazing.  Highly worth checking out, even if you just flip through it at the bookstore.

Flare. Oddworld strangers wrath was originally a Xbox exclusive (minus PC).


I played it on the original Xbox and enjoyed it. Have yet to try out the HD port on the vita.

It was pretty fun overall, enough for me to finish it. There is a robot named Ethan that is really funny. Overall, I had more fun with Titanfall 2. Both games have double jumping and wall running, but Titanfall really incorpated it into the levels.

Had some random bits arrive today. An RGB interface and some breakout cables. Get to fool around with that stuff tonight, will be fun.

Edit: Fun nugget: the interface unit was shipped in a cardboard envelope with no padding. Seems like a poor decision.

Awesome glad to hear you enjoyed it, do you remember which levels you liked the most? I haven't played the whole thing, curious to hear peoples openions. I am glad some people are playing it, it sounded like this was the year cod hit the wall / jumped the shark from reviews and sales, but hearing people enjoyed it is awesome.

I got Titanfall 2 and will be checking it out after my family holiday trip, excited to see what they did differently - I agree that the traversal abilities were not used in the level.design as well as they could have been in IW

I haven't played a CoD game since World at War so I can't really compare IW to the others. The levels i enjoyed most were the ones that tried to be different. The ones where you're in space and you use a grapple hook to pull yourself around or were there is a big mech in your group and you are support. I found the flight missions to be somewhat boring and uninspired. The story was mediocre stuff you would find in an overweight popcorn movie. The terrorist group you are fighting operates on a thin premise and you're just kind of thinking, what are we fighting for again? On a smaller scale the interactions between characters was enjoyable and like in Rogue One the robot was the stand out character.

which one of those games had the underwater levels?  i never played them, but that always looked cool.
i know one of the boxes also showed zombie levels, but those looked mediocre.

I.W. has some zombie side game, but I haven't tried it. It has some kind of 80s theme like it is their version of Blood Dragon, but I'm not sure if it has any story or is just a versus mode.

From AliExpress. Ordered back in early October. Only received it now.

I had to trim the edges of the PCB's for it to fit in my boot MV-1C board. It works fine now, though.

Quote from: technozombie on 12/29/2016, 12:19 PMShadow of Destiny is a really interesting game that no one ever talks about.
I've actually owned it (Shadow of Memories (PAL) ) before back in the day and had played a bit of it. A little later I somehow lost my copy of it (I still have a game save of it on one of my old memory cards), and as time went on I kinda forgot about it until I saw it again from a guy selling some PS2 stuff on one of our gaming related sites.
Looking forward to playing it again.

Quote from: bartre on 12/29/2016, 04:57 PMI wish I could find a copy of disaster report and raw danger.  What did those run?
200 ZAR for both. So that would be a little under $15.
Both local buys. The same guy that I bought Shadow of Destiny from. 
I'm still looking for the third game in the series released for the PSP.

That's how it is, I guess. I showed my kid that mini-NES (actually bought it as an Xmas pressie for him).
If I told you he used it for about an hour total since the 25th of last month, I'd be lying. And that hour was mostly because I sat down and played it with him. Otherwise, just not interested.
