Quote from: Mathius on 10/29/2010, 01:28 AMPlayed some U.N. Squadron for the 'ol SNES tonight. Probably my favorite shootie on the system. I remember this one in the arcades BITD and having a near-arcade perfect port back then was awesome!
One of my favorite games as well. I never played the arcade version before, but I thought there were a number of differences when ported to the SNES? Either way the SNES version is a great game!
The SNES version was only 1player, and you could actually choose your route/levels that would follow the storyline of AREA 88 (anime it was based off of).
There was also a sequel in the arcade that was pretty awesome too called Airwing Carrier.

Is that a sequel to Legend of Xanadu???? cause i can't fucking play that game...too much japanese text!!!

Quote from: blueraven on 10/30/2010, 03:15 PMHad 2 neighbors over for retr0gaming night; Dracula X, Genpei Toumanden 1 & 2, Victory Run, and Racing Spirits (which by the by is a totally kickass motorcycle game!)
They must OBEY as well!!!!!

Still not very good at it though!

Don't worry, I have had it for a year, and I still haven't managed to beat the game. Got to 'ol Drac though. He's a pain!

blueraven · 10/31/2010, 02:18 AM

Colossus, remember to close-quote. Yes its the Xanadu sequel. And its much easier thN the first butn less epic due to the shortness.

And yes its very intensive. Only about 4 of us (runin, nat , blacktiger, myself) english-speakers have beaten the first game

Drac a pain lol ! Yeah it takes a bit to kill his frist form but his second is easy to kill.

I beat Castlevania Legends on gameboy tonight. A very disappointing game actually.

I think I'll move on to Dracula X too since everyone is talking about it.

I played Castlevania Judgement for the first time last night. If you think Legends is disappointing then judgement is some sort of war crime.

Colossus1574 · 10/31/2010, 03:00 PM

had my cousin and my buddy over last night (his 1st exposure to the great PCE although he does remember the TG16).

Played a full game of Motoroader where i took 1st thnx to top engine, top body, hi-turbo

and
I finally popped back in Dungeon Explorer 2 (US edition) after my old 5man crew quit on it back in the late 90s (before i got into my PS1 phase).
Played for about 2 hrs and we already unlocked 3 additional characters! Gwen, Shun, Mariam

Lol necro.

Gonna hit up some Psychic Storm in T-minus 30 minutes, once I get outta work

3 hours of Power Eleven

Got Dragon's Lair Time Warp and Space Ace on Blu-ray. Not that they're really games but that's what I played/watched. I loved those games in the arcade and on my Amiga and ST. Look really nice on Blu-ray.

I just picked up Dragon's Lair Trilogy on Wii (which has both DL games and Space Ace).

Gogan · 11/01/2010, 11:07 PM

Ripped up some Psychic Storm, gotta say I liked it. While it moves a bit slow, the graphics and music more than make up for it. Definite replay value.

Found I used Joe and Natasia the most, but the pea-shooter guy(forgot his name) wasn't bad either. Chad is useless.

The music on Trident was very very good. Gonna have to learn that on the ol SG

Colossus1574 · 11/02/2010, 01:34 AM

finish FINAL SOLDIER on normal last night, and played a few levels of PomPing World (Bonanza Bros.?) tonight.

and i agree from another thread, FS has got pretty weak weapon designs.....5 of the 9 variations are pretty useless....

Pomping World - You're thinking of Buster Bros., not Pomping World.

turbogrfxfan · 11/02/2010, 07:05 PM

Terraforming and nexzr. I thought terraforming would of been better. It looked beautiful but the game itself is pretty lame. Nexzr is a near perfect game imo

I still need to pick up Nexzr.

blueraven · 11/04/2010, 04:45 AM

Just Deep Blue for some reason. The approach-avoidance of this game is pretty awesome, and I really do like the fact that I don't have to run-and-gun fire 24/7 on this shooter. If you accept you are in a sub and treat it like one you are good. After you actually power up on levels 2 and 3 it really does become interesting.

I think the reason why people don't like it is because of the speed. Once you get the power-up it does make the game more fun, admittedly, But overall; this isn't your average shooter. It's a submarine after all...

Starfighter · 11/04/2010, 07:26 AM

Yesterday I didn't get to play. See my girlfriends sister is visiting us and when I suggested video games she said really whiny (but with an attitude) "the guest get's superbored when you play video games". In normal circumstances I would've said "too bad for you" but she just sat seven hours on a train to meet us for two days so yeah maybe I did the right thing to let it go and entertain her instead.

Yeah, you probably did what any respectful individual should've done. An OBEYING individual however? Hmm....

I finally got some time in with an old friend last night in Legacy of Kain for the PS1. I am still amazed at the quality of voice acting in that game! The loading times still suck though.

And what's more entertaining than a few rounds of Bomberman '94 and Dungeon Explorer?

Colossus1574 · 11/04/2010, 04:30 PM

played some Pomping World and Shibimiman 2 with my brother.

Pomping is surprisingly fast on it's loading and i'm not even running it off a Duo!

Shibimiman always fun, but so unforgiving on 2 players when u share 1 health bar

Finally got some quality time in with good 'ol Earthbound. Such a great game in every way possible. Here is a fantastic mini-documentary on Earthbound and the rest of the Mother series.

Starfighter · 11/07/2010, 06:16 PM

I mostly played Silent Hill 4 today (I never finished that one so I'm setting things straight) but I also had time to test a few Dreamcast-pearls that I really liked. Those beeing Unreal Tournament, Cannon Spike, Sonic Adventure and the shmup I never bought when it was cheap; Under Defeat.

turbogrfxfan · 11/07/2010, 06:53 PM

played gate ball for pce, lemans test drive dreamcast, and saphire for pce!! awesome day

Mathius · 11/07/2010, 07:27 PM

Been playing Earthbound mostly. Planning on throwing in Batman: Arkham Asylum for the 360 tonight. I just bought Vol. 1 of the Animated Series collection, because I loved it so much when I was young. Batman for the 360 is almost like playing an episode of that show.

I love Batman TAS and bought all those DVDs when they came out.

As far as Arkham Asylum goes, it's a great game. But exactly like Metal Gear Solid... with Batman!

blueraven · 11/09/2010, 04:55 AM

Deep Blue, Dracula X, GoT

geise · 11/09/2010, 01:48 PM

No pc-engine today.

Today it has been Kid Gloves on the Atari ST and some Ridge Racer 7.

Tablet · 11/09/2010, 01:53 PM

Minecaft, it's been almost 2 months and I'm still playing it, its addictive no doubt. I'm busy building an aeroplane.... I know it can't fly but it's suspended in the air so that'll do.

Oh and I got further on YS7 too, can't really say where I'm up to without spoilers, I reckon I'm half way through it.

hashiriya1 · 11/11/2010, 06:24 PM

Currently playing Super Aleste, Black Ops (yeah, yeah), and Herzog Zwei.

turbogrfxfan · 11/11/2010, 09:58 PM

Black ops??? whats that?

played me some GOT, L-dis, sapphire,and obocchamakun(weird ass game!)

BlueBMW · 11/11/2010, 10:17 PM

Played me some sapphire... tried to play on normal.... yeah I didnt make it past the 3rd stage boss lol.

Gogan · 11/12/2010, 09:51 AM

Played some Legendary Axe last night (go figure), and some Space Manbow on MSX

I found out Guwange was released recently on XBLA. I generally don't like pay-downloads but.. it's Guwange!

So - my weekends worth of gaming is gonna be Cave all the way!

blueraven · 11/12/2010, 08:40 PM

Dracula X, AGAIN; this time for the Richter clear vs Drac.

Also, I was Rocking GoT for some HS runs, and I played some Tonma on a crappy website.

Also revisited Xanadu 2 temporarily, and tested Super Star Soldier and RTYPE (US Hueys).

and VICTORY RUN....

bartre · 11/13/2010, 12:00 AM

mostly played Raiden III on my ps2.
but i did manage to sneak some GoT in there for good measure.

Interesting i'm playing that now as well i got it recently as a birthday gift.It's realy a good license game to wich is rare when ya base a game on a comic book,movie or tv show.

Vecanti · 11/13/2010, 11:47 PM

Played Metamor Jupiter for the first time. Got to level 3 and I had no idea any Turbo games effects like that. Pretty amazing!
