Classic Gaming Quarterly shameless plugging thread...

CGQuarterly · 08/27/2013, 10:55 PM

Hey guys,

On top of doing the Classic Gaming Quarterly website for several years now, I am now doing YouTube videos. If no one minds, I'll use this thread to post new videos whenever I upload them. Constructive criticism, subscriptions, and requests are all welcomed!

Today I uploaded a retrospective of the Streets of Rage series on the Genesis.

Thanks!

Chris

Awesome! My little brother had a Genesis bitd (I was 15-ish and he was 7-ish) and I remember buying the original Streets of Rage when it came out and being humbled asking to play it on his console...
The soundtrack! Oh, the soundtrack...

Nowadays I think Streets of Rage 2 is nearly beat-em-up perfection. I agree about trying to rank the soundtracks. I still love the original. I haven't spent much time playing 3, so can't really comment on it.

Nice man that was very detail video of the series.Yeah ive played the japanese version of SOR3 of the everdrive MD,and i can see why it's consider the definite version.

Tatsujin · 09/04/2013, 07:25 AM

SOR3 is definitely the least definite version of the serie

geise · 09/04/2013, 09:50 AM

I don't like the way SOR3 plays, and I think Yuzo was def when he did the soundtrack. I know he didn't do all of it and was going for a more hardcore techno sound, but it wasn't good.

SOR2 is,but if you ever played the u.s version of SOR3 you see how soa broke the game for the changes they made.

Made a little quickie bonus vid today. Took a look at a few third-party Genesis controllers that I had sitting in a pile in the CGQ studio.

A retrospective of the Super Monaco GP series on the Sega Genesis. A must-watch for any Ayrton Senna fan!

esteban · 10/26/2013, 01:23 PM

That was enjoyable, but I hope you expand/build on this by comparing/contrasting other games with the Super Monaco GP series.

CGQuarterly · 10/26/2013, 02:21 PM

Definitely. I think an F1 Circus retrospective would be awesome. I'm also working on an F1 game review for the SNES right now.

I just uploaded 2 new videos. The first is a review of the awesome book "Capcom 30th Anniversary Character Encyclopedia, which even includes a little bit of Turbo goodness.

The second is a review of Nigel Mansell's World Championship Racing on the SNES. Definitely worth a look if you're an F1 fan.

Thanks for looking!

turboswimbz · 12/12/2013, 01:18 AM

Loved the review of that mansell game.

I don't know if senna is the best driver ever, (although he was perhaps the most memorable) but there is perhaps an interesting connection there wiht being left out of the game:

In 1993 Senna and formula 1 were in arguments - mostly over driver safety and rules - perhaps one of the reasons why he wasn't in the NA game?
fast forward 11 months to Imola and a young drivers death ( Who had gained fame in Japan I might add) Anyton spoke quite passionately about safety again, before he died in the same turn the next day. Needless to say F1 actually started worrying about safety.
Formula 1 and developers have not used his name since in a racing game. In fact the thought of using senna's name to sell a game is just unthinkable to developers and is given as the main reason why they won't.
In Japan he is sure still remembered as in Brazil. In fact there is a hack of the mansell game where mansell is replaced by Senna. Jibba if your an F1 fan you should check it out. It's a neat tribute. (Also the ESPN 30 for 30 Doc on Senna is a must see)

Interesting bit of history if nothing else.

CGQuarterly · 12/13/2013, 12:37 AM

If you're taking about the documentary "Senna", then yeah, that's probably my all-time favorite documentary on any subject.

Senna's name has indeed not appeared in any games I've seen up until now. There will be some Senna content released for Gran Turismo 6 that apparently lets you follow his career path. That's why I said what I said in the review about Yamauchi. He worked with Instituto Aryton Senna and with Ayrton's sister Viviane to put that Senna content into GT6 as a tribute because of how much he admired and respected him. In Brazil they are going to release a special Senna GT6/PS3 bundle. I'm jealous, as I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Thanks for your positive comments!

Did a short review of the excellent "Clu Clu Land" on the NES.

I have a Sega Genesis Launch-tacular episode coming down the pipe that I hope to have done by the weekend. I haven't done anything else for the Turbo besides the Everdrive episode. I need to change that!

CGQuarterly · 05/04/2014, 12:48 PM

It's definitely a fun game. It's a shame that the graphics aren't a little bit nicer, but the developer wanted to cram it into 2K.

Another really cool product from krikzz. I hope this guy eventually makes an Everdrive for every system known to man. Buy straight from the man to help keep his projects flush with cash! www.retrogate.com

On the third installment of Let's Read, I take a look at EGM #47 from June of 1993. Sorry about the shitty audio quality. I had a technical glitch with my audio recording rig and had to use the audio off of the camera, instead.

CGQuarterly · 03/18/2015, 12:51 AM

Just uploaded a new episode. And I put an easter egg in the video as a peace offering to Nulltard. Let's see if he finds it.

poponon · 03/18/2015, 11:42 PM

Nice video, really informative stuff. Reminds me of this computer game we had when i was in junior kindergarten around 4 years old. I think it was an apple? I remember the games being a burgundy color. and white I think. Would be neat to figure out what exactly it was

I don't dislike any console. I'm just worried I am going to want to buy a damn game after watching the video.

UPDATE: Ok, I watched it. I am glad I never got rid of Raiden Project. I am actually curious about Total Eclipse because I have the 3DO version. I wonder how they compare.

I thought about showing a little side-by-side of the two games, but frankly Total Eclipse isn't good enough to be worth the effort.

No, it isn't a great game. But, since the 3DO library is not too great, I played it more than I should have
