The comic was basically an excuse for multiple plates of cheesecake, although it also had well-done and dynamic action scenes, in a Michael-Bay-does-007 way. The game?Think of the CGI cutscenes from the original Tomb Raider. Now move them a few years into the Uncanny Valley to make the characters seem like they want to swallow your soul. Give the heroines basketball breasts, with eggcup nipples and figures that make Lara Croft look like a muffin top. And within the game itself, put the maximum focus into rear end animation, as that's what fills the centre of the screen. I swear Abbey's backside has more polygons than the guys she's shooting.

I think I still have my copy (5 discs!) of A Fork in the Tale, a game featuring the voice talents of Rob Schneider! It was pretty terrible, I played the demo and somehow decided to buy it at Babbages. Why I kept it all these years is quite the mystery. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Fra9KxmUBo See if you can make it longer than a minute or two into the gameplay.

I'm surprised nobody has brought up literally anything for the Tiger game.com. It was all so bad that most of the YouTube gameplay videos I'm finding are brief clips of the whole library rather than extended plays of specific games. Resident Evil 2 was widely considered the best game on the system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ushiVZzDwHI I had an original as well as the backlight rerelease Pocket Pro and a big chunk of the library, but sold them off ~15 years ago. I think the only reason I was able to wheedle my grandparents into it was because it was sold in the toy department with the rest of the Tiger crap, instead of with the game consoles which my grandfather refused to buy me. I never had the Internet connectivity kit, which seemed like a total joke anyway. I'm hoping I can find good videos of the Batman & Robin and Lost World: Jurassic Park games. Batman was a halfway competent side scroller for such a crappy system, but had an area where there was supposed to be a break in a balcony railing at the top of a tower climb that simply didn't appear to be there. Jurassic Park was totally bizarre, switching back and forth between hunting dinosaurs with a vehicle in some kind of lovely racing game and a really slow-paced jungle platformer. They seemed to be trying to license PlayStation franchises to have something, anything as a selling point to challenge the Game Boy, but GBC and Pokémon mania completely left them in the dust. They teased a top-down version of Metal Gear Solid by distributing a brief QuickTime clip on the loving Usenet newsgroup, but I think that clip has been lost to time.

Oh poo poo, you're post just reminded me about Jurassic Park on the Gameboy. That game was a loving trip.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZcWv05O6xw It was a pretty mid game. It had some level variety (shoot dinos, dodge stampedes, a Toobin'-like raft bit), it frustrated me and my little bro because we were pretty poo poo at it. The music was pretty decent, with some levels reminding me of Axel F (they get to a point where it almost sounds like it's going to segue into the main Axel F theme but then goes back to its dinky OST).

Jurassic Park on the SNES was that but also had these Wolfenstein 3D type FPS sections that scared the poo poo out of me as a kid. They were always in these dark buildings and you'd have like spitters and raptors sneak up on you. poo poo was wild.

Holy poo poo, I played that exactly once in my life, at a friend's apartment, and your post just unlocked forgotten 1990s memories of blazing through the top-down parts and then stumbling around like an idiot in the FPS areas because the SNES controller was entirely unsuitable for fluid first person controls. Was the game even any good? I just had stupid thumbs so I never got through the FPS bits.

It was... fine? Surprisingly ambitious for a licensed SNES tie-in. I got it as a kid and played it a lot but never beat it. iirc it was somewhat Zelda inspired with the overworld and the FPS sections being sort of like "dungeons", but there was no saving and you had limited lives. So it was kind of a slog after a while, hence why I never beat it.

Unless this is some sarcasm that went over my head. Lunar SSC is pretty well regarded by critics and typically makes an appearance in those "Top PS1 Rpgs" lists people like to make. If your chief complaint is the graphics; it was loving 1996 and this wasn't exactly Nintendo or Square or another big name developing this.

re: Lunar The game's battle mechanics are just barely above barebones Dragon Quest 3 stuff, and it's ok I guess. My big issue with the game is that in the first couple hours it tricks you into thinking that the main character isn't another poorly motivated silent protagonist with no interesting qualities, and then 3 dungeons later he's down to only barely reacting to anything going on around him. Just play Grandia instead.

Benoit posted:That would have been some hot poo poo to 1990-me, back when one of my “better” Tiger handheld games was Electronic Baseball: They had another set of more advanced one-off handhelds called 99X that I remember coming out after the game.com, that also advertised some weird primitive web-link feature:  I think they were also trying to ape Digimon with the unit linking feature, and if I remember correctly, the link cable came in the package with the game. Maybe they learned their lesson from the game.com... I never once remember seeing the "compete.com" link cable on the shelf anywhere, which doubly irked after I talked a couple of my friends into picking up game.coms too. Miraculously, we stayed friends after that; and apparently nothing of value was lost, because researching all this again tells me that dual-unit multiplayer was actually busted in most game.com games that claimed to support it. Resident Evil 2 was the only 99x game I had, but I remember quite a few others on the shelf. Google tells me there were for sure WCW vs. NWO and Crash Bandicoot models. Ironically, I remember the tiny dot-matrix 99x screen being noticeably better than the game.com. I never linked units and played it with anyone else, though, partly because it was getting embarrassing to still be stuck with cheesy Tiger games in the era of the Game Boy Color, and partly because what even is "HEAD-to-HEAD" gameplay in Resident Evil? Competitive zombie massacre? lovely dot-matrix deathmatch? What little info remains about these games seems to indicate it was some kind of high-score exchange and that's it. A quick search also says these units were the basis for Giga Fighters that were a more direct virtual-pet Digimon ripoff. It looks like Hasbro has reissued some of the old Tiger LCD games, but even 20 bucks feels like a bit too much to pay for such a crappy nostalgia hit. I remember tiny 1993 me getting a special trip to Toys'R'Us to get the Jurassic Park LCD game, and getting rather upset when the guy who worked there jokingly tried to convince me that I had only bought a slip of paper with a barcode on it, before telling me I actually had to go exchange it at the counter in the glass cage where they kept all the video game stuff locked up.
