Fei Long takes on all comers in the SNES version of Super Street Fighter II! *huggles* Areala

I can't believe I hadn't thought of this earlier, but Siren for the PS2 is a super ultra mega-mega beeyotch of a game. There is one correct way to play Siren, and those who deviate from that path are doomed to be torn to bits by Shibito. Not the end I'd wish for, and easily the single most difficult survival horror title I've ever played. *huggles* Areala

And here we have all of the SNES Mortal Kombat fatalites demonstrated for your pleasure in one...er..."konvenient" package... Is anyone else surprised the Genesis version outsold the Super Nintendo version now? *huggles* Areala

Some video footage of Drakkhen in action. Note that this is part 1 of a series of videos that walk you through the entire game. *huggles* Areala

Ah, got it backwards. Whoops... *huggles* Areala

All you men beware...cuz this girl's Vampiro Loco! *huggles* Areala

Amusingly enough, Doom for the SNES was also released as a red cart like Maximum Carnage. It didn't suck quite as bad as it could have, but still...anybody who played the PC version was in for a world of hurt. *huggles* Areala

Sol-Feace was the Sega CD sequel to the Genesis Sol-Deace. *huggles* Areala

A couple years ago, I decided that I would take up running again. I ran track and cross-country when I was in high school, so I figured it would be good for me to get back into the routine just to be a little healthier. And literally, all it took for me to be able to eat whatever the heck I wanted and not worry about the calories was 30 minutes of jogging, three times a week, and some very simple crunches and sit-up reps. Anybody who wants some simple information to get yourself started, just let me know. I'll get you in the best damn cardio shape of your life. *huggles* Areala

Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, Magna Carta: Tears of Blood, and Eternal Poison all for PS2 acquired with boxes, manuals and artwork. Can you say...SWEET? *huggles* Areala

See, I'm down with that. Simon & Garfunkle go with just about anything in the retro days. Now that I think about it, I think I played Micro Machines on the SNES with Simon & Garfunkle's Greatest Hits going on the stereo. *huggles* Areala

Since I own the disc version, I haven't downloaded it. A friend has, however, and according to him it's a straight-up port of the US Director's Cut. Nothing added or removed. *huggles* Areala

I remember thinking how cool this game looked until I rented it and realized it had one HUGE flaw: once you got into a battle, you couldn't control a single member of your party. That's right, the CPU auto-fights for you, so you have to have equipped all the right stuff before the fight or you're in deep doodoo. I suppose it was meant to be easier than having to resource-manage four different characters like in Final Fantasy, but seriously...an RPG where you can't tell anyone on your team what to do? What were Kemco and Seika thinking? *huggles* Areala

Ah, Mortal Kombat...the game that very nearly single-handedly gave Sega absolute and complete dominance in the 16-bit console wars. I still laugh at Nintendo's decision to censor the game, and how their managers must have been pulling their hair out to watch the Genesis version out-sell their gimped version at a ratio of 3:1 over the course of 1993-94. It's a shame, because with the exception of the whole "censored" aspect, the SNES version is easily the superior version in terms of graphics, music and controls. Good thing they learned their lesson when it came to MK II. Then we SNES owners got the last laugh. *huggles* Areala

My brother and I rented this cart a lot as kids. We got very good at it, and at one point could even do the two-player vehicle-based stages without dying, which is something I doubt we could repeat today without a LOT of practice. My favorite part of the game is actually at the end of the first stage, where you have to disable the walker by chucking boulders at its window, but the view for the battle is from the cockpit of the walker itself. THAT was flipping sweet. *huggles* Areala

The two-player mode was fun, but I think it lost a lot that you could only fight like-characters (Jimmy vs. Jimmy, Linda vs. Linda, etc...) instead of being able to fight, say, Chintai vs. Billy. Those sprites were big for an NES game though, that's for sure. *huggles* Areala

You know, had the NES version of Bad Dudes offered 2-player simultaneous play, they might have had something with that ad. After all, the NES Double Dragon was single-player only unless you wanted to play the one-on-one fighting game. That was most disappointing to me, especially since the Sega Master System got the two-player, more arcade-accurate port of Double Dragon. But no, Bad Dudes offered 2-player ALTERNATING play, which sort of defeated the purpose of a two-player mode completely in my opinion. *huggles* Areala

I've played the Wii version, and it was OK. Tried out the PS3 demo, and...well...about all I can say is that aside from the graphics which are eye-popping and the great character likenesses and voices which are perfect, the controls are not that great and your rookie moves entirely too slowly when he's not running, and entirely too fast when he is. One thing I really missed from the Wii version was the option to play as a female Ghostbuster on the PS3. I mean, c'mon, you're telling me that the Wii could handle a second character model as a player character and co-op campaign play, but the PS3 can't? Multi-player that doesn't let you play through the campaign mode together is just a waste of time in my book. Let my friends all play too, hmmm? Oh well...it's not the first time gals have been given the short end of the stick in this regard. *huggles* Areala

Liberator, THANK YOU! We are in desperate need of people who really know Wiki formatting, and it seems like you know more than anyone else here. Like Phillyman, I'm majorly inexperienced; everything I know about Wiki, I learned from doing cut-and-paste and trying to figure out why a given thing worked and how to edit it into something else that I needed. While this is a great way to learn simple things, it's not so straightforward for learning more complex tasks. *huggles* Areala

This was the first game we got for our Super Nintendo. At the time we bought our SNES, we got the console itself and one controller; the game had to be bought separately. My brother and I agreed it looked pretty cool, so we got that as our game. And I still like it to this day. *huggles* Areala

What's even better is if you find somebody who you knew was part of the "cool" crowd, who was supposedly too cool for video games. "Mega Man? Who has time for that when I play all these sports..." Then you find out 20 years later that this same person had the sixth-highest score in the game in one issue or something like that. *huggles* Areala

Their server must be absolutely getting blitzed with requests for that file. I wanted to download it because I was curious if it differed at all from my full CD-ROM version that I have, and on my DSL line I am getting a max of about 3.3k/sec. *huggles* Areala

Yeah, there's no competition. Bad Dudes is a mediocre side-scroller 2D fighting game. Double Dragon is an awesome-as-all-heck brawler. Whatever fool thought Bad Dudes was superior to Double Dragon probably thought the Atari Lynx was superior to the Game Boy too... Also: I believe qweff110 is a spammer. Away, you foolish troll, away! *huggles* Areala

It's simple. Just remove the Duck from your Wii, and it should begin to function properly. Sorry, sorry, couldn't resist... *huggles* Areala

I don't know about the 360 version, but you can disable the filter on the PS3 version. Makes the games look just like they would have played if you hooked your old Genesis up to your new HDTV. My Magnavox big screen rear-projection TV is 8 years old, and not truly HD since it won't do 1080p or 720p, but it gives out a great 480p for low-end resolution, and a very nice looking 1080i for PS3 games that are formatted for that setting. Genesis Collection looks just like it does when I connect the Genesis and plug in Sonic, only I can play with my wireless controllers and don't have to worry about swapping carts. *huggles* Areala
