  1. I'm back- with a mission!

  2. It looks neat to me, but I'm not sold. I just read an article about how it only really recognizes a few generic motions- basically a wiimote with more range. I won't be buying, at least not until I can make the character mimic obscene gestures on-screen. ;D The games look fun though!
  3. It's waaay graphics-heavy. The background can be a bit distracting, but it's neat to watch, anyhow.
  4. I can't wait to get it! Too many things on my plate financially ATM, though.
  5. So did you check out the playable demo? If not head over and download, it's AWESOME!
  6. News from Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5559234/telltale-takes-us-back-to-the-future
  7. News from Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5676574/mega-man-legends-3-loses-legendary-producer So not only did I not know about MML3, I didn't know the designer of Mega Man was calling it quits! Another article, embellishing a bit more on the details of his departure: http://gamrfeed.vgchartz.com/story/82611/inafune-calls-japanese-game-development-a-communist-state/ Seems like many things in Japan are run this way these days(the anime industry being another). Maybe it has to do with rampant overpopulation?
  8. this was my favorite of the driver games! driver 3 wasnt as good IMO
  9. I've been watching a few Hammer horror this last month and I didn't catch this one. I think I'll hunt it down. A lot of their movies are slow-paced and end up being carried by the actors. I don't really mind so much because I end up enjoying the settings and story a lot better after watching. If you get the chance and haven't seen it before, check out The Reptile. The setting and actors really make that otherwise humdrum movie great. There's also a nice undertone in that one, as well.
  10. That's a great ad! Thanks for sharing! I love this game. I just read the history of it last night.
  11. i'm done buddy. hey uh, do you have any rom hacking or programming background at all?
  12. You can download CDisplay here if you wish. It's the program used to open our cbz and cbr files. It's a simple program and not very demanding of hard drive space or computer resources. I think we'll eventually be working on adding PDFs to more issues eventually, it just involves a lot more work, I think. Also, I forgot to mention the most obvious, check Nintendo Power for around the same dates. http://www.retromags.com/forums/files/category/1-nintendo-power/page__sort_by__ASC__sort_key__file_name__num__10__st__30 and http://www.retromags.com/forums/files/category/1-nintendo-power/page__sort_by__ASC__sort_key__file_name__num__10__st__40
  13. I especially like your review on the Power U section: "As any PC hardware buff will tell you, that information is meaningless without benchmarking but even now nobody’s written benchmarking software for the SNES and Genesis. It would be interesting to see, if you wrote such an application, and were able to create cartridges for the software for the SNES and Genesis, how they would turn out." So true, why hasn't this happened?
  14. "And, to be absolutely honest, did you seriously think a two-button fighting game could turn out well?" This is sort of how I felt about Street Fighter Alpha 3 port on the GBA..
  15. I'm not actually going to download all the magazines and look through them.. I'll leave that to you and your project. Okay? Here are some starting points, though: http://www.retromags.com/forums/files/category/10-gamepro/page__sort_by__ASC__sort_key__file_name__num__10__st__30 http://www.retromags.com/forums/files/category/26-game-informer/
  16. I haven't come across any, if I do I'll send them your way. It was out in 93 for SNES, so maybe there are some previews in 92/ 1st quarter 93 magazines.
  17. Sorry, I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or what. I'm a bit snippy lately, please excuse me. I'm a jerk.
  18. Okay, jackass. You never mentioned it, so I figured I would. See if anyone else tries to help you, ingrate. P.S. - Learn to type.
  19. I put a link up a few months ago for a place called UnSeen64.net I believe it was. You might want to check that place, they have tons of beta stuff from all consoles. Here, check these: http://www.unseen64.net/?s=clayfighter
  20. Did Newsbot hijack Magik's account? I'm sorry bud, but I couldn't understand a lot of this due to grammar. I think I understand what you're getting at and sympathize with you, though. When I was a kid all I could think about when I went to a mall or store was getting my hands on the arcade machines. My favorites to find were always The Simpsons, X-Men and Ninja Turtles(yes, the mindless beat-em-ups!). Of course there were other off-beat titles here and there but I was a fan of both the mentioned TV shows and loved being able to play as my favorite characters. Not until recently on MAME did I get into things like Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Joust. Of course I didn't find much of an outlet between friends and others to compete with for high scores on or offline. Anyhow, like Magik said, a big part of playing those games back then was the experience. A seedy discount movie theater, with its sticky 80s print carpet floor, popcorn smell and sticky control panels, or the local arcade where all the machines had their own little quirks and you had to play accordingly. It really is a bygone era that I often think back to. I really wish I could open my own arcade and just do it myself. I still find a few places here and there that have that same feeling, but they're few and far-between and generally don't stay in business long enough for me to keep them afloat with my quarters. These past few months I've been frequenting laundromats. Yes, laundromats. Not actually for getting my clothes clean, but for the games I find. A place close by has a speed-hack Ms. Pac-Man that runs perfect and Bust-a-Move, while another has a fun pinball game, Junkyard, that I really enjoy trying to master. Bowling alleys are also a good spot if you can find one with a decent selection of games. I wish they'd never shut down my local Chuck E. Cheese(actually it was a Showbiz Pizza- much better). Now THAT was the place to be. So many good arcade and ticket machines. Ski-ball, bop-em games, dance-type games, clown shooter, all the best ticket pumping games. Their arcade game selection was great too with things like Hogan's Alley and Karate Champ(with the two joysticks). They also kept their games in rotation, when one would go back or need repair they'd bring in a new one. Man, the 80s and 90's were a great time for arcades. If you look hard enough you can still find the ghosts of these places we remember.
  21. This game always ends up kicking my butt. It just gets so tough. I agree about the animation and design. The thing that really amazed me the first time I tried the game was the awesome animation of the sprites.
  22. I think I'd place it after SF1 and before Final Fight? The arcade version of this is pretty fun if you get the chance.
