Yup. I want:

Gundam 0079 Side Story

Soldiers of Fortune

Gauntlet Legends

Record of Lodoss War

Sonic Adventure 2

Generator Demo Disc Vol. 7

I'm sure there are more...any recommendations? I don't have any good racing games yet...

RE: DC racing games: I remember spending too much time with Rush 2049 and MSR and Tokyo Xtreme Racer (1&2).

Rush 2049 has some awesome arcadey tracks - driving up buildings and loops and stuff...

MSR is tough but rewarding - it is the precursor to Project Gotham on the Xbox....

Tokyo Xtreme Racer was fun one on one street racing.

Sega Rally was also an arcade style treat...

Sega GT - I didn't enjoy.

Please pass on soldier of fortune. Unless you have the keyboard and the patience of a saint. Control is awful with the controller and loading is booth frequent and atrociously slow.

Ehh, can't be any worse than Half-Life. I've got the keyboard & mouse.

Fair enough. For personal recommendations I would go with
Code veronica
Shenmue
Shenmue 2
Virtua tennis

Probably, I'm not sure. It has Magforce racing on it & I'm pretty sure I played it as a child.

Wish I'd known, bud. I just sold my old one to get the Sega Sports edition. :/

Mike, I think I have a spare.
PM me if you want it, just cover the shipping.

I ordered Jet Grind Radio, it seemed nifty. Anyone ever play Maken X? Looks kinda cool...

Both of those are good titles.

Maken X was really fun.
iirc, the character designer is the same as for the Shin Megami Tensei games.

but i hope you like late 90s/early 00s FPS

I got the game today & played it for a bit, and it's awesome! Very heavily reminiscent of Metroid Prime, though...eerily so. Did any of the staff that worked on Maken X go on to work on Prime?

Jet set radio is awesome. I remember getting this when it came out. I think it was same day as ps2 launch. Still give it a spin from time to time. Looks vibrant in RGB. Kicking music too.

I don't think so.
maken was developed by atlus, while prime was made mostly by retro studios(based out of texas)
i'm not ruling out that an employee could move, but I don't think there's any major work on it

VenomMacbeth · 08/04/2015, 08:26 PM

Guess it was just "heavily inspired by", then.

I wonder if there are any other games that use that control scheme...
