Doc Morbid posted:(this thing actually isn't particularly heavy compared to some of the bigger Trinitrons, it's just a pain in the rear end to move because you can't get a good grip anywhere) I had to get one of those fuckers out of a place recently and it was hellish. Literally just the bottom and a weird side groove are grabbable, and the groove is a trap to smash your feet. You didn't want it, it didn't display video anymore.

So Heidi Kemps is doing a massive series on an old Taito game called Raimais. It's halfway done right now and fascinating to read. It's something you might want to look at and/or emulate yourself!

In terms of upcoming titles anyway, that new South Park game seems to lean real hard on "coon" based on E3, and a few people have said that Mafia 3 is gonna go places re: race in the south. So.

If you dig that, import Mr Driller: Drill Land for the GC. It's got Dristone mode and plenty of other fantastic variants.

Allen Wren posted:wait wait WHAT Yeah, it's actually only weird in a few cutscenes, where the animations clearly don't match. Then it becomes hilarious. Lemme see if I can find the pictures...  It doesn't show well in stills, but the ghost model is flipping the gently caress out in this scene, turning in on itself and flailing wildly.

RichterIX posted:Similar to the Ranma conversation from a little while ago, I always get mixed up on the Sailor Moon games. Is the SNES beatemup the good one? I remember there being one on MD too. In all honesty none of them are BAD, just underwhelming. The Arcade one is kinda slapdash, for instance, and I'd avoid the... Master System? I think it is? one. The brawlers are better than the fighting games. Avoid the RPG. It's not good. The puzzle games are fun to dick around with if you want a vs. title.

Go back and collect all the little bastards you stopped caring about who did nothing. No, there's no reason for this, we just hid the final boss because gently caress you.

Turbinosamente posted:And how was Double Dragon 4 dire? I got the other NES remake by Arc System Works: River City Tokyo Rumble and sadly I haven't had a chance to play it myself but I haven't heard anything bad about that one. Or much of anything at all it doesn't seem to have left an impact either. DD4 is a game that didn't really have any beat-em-up designers working on it, so a lot of baffling decisions were made. None are particularly dealbreakers but it results in the game just being lazy and boring. Stuff like "game's playfield is in widescreen but it never spawns more than a few enemies at a time, nearly never next to you", so the extra real estate just makes things take longer, or that you've seen all(?) the sprites within the first few minutes, or platforming challenges (always a fun time in a brawler) next to dudes who throw boomerangs, or... It's real lazy.

Random Stranger posted:I got kind of curious about what in the first year of the PS2's lifespan was worth playing. 2000 is pretty much all terrible; when the only thing on the list where I go, "Oh yeah, I'd play that" is Super Bust-a-Move then it's a real load of stinkers. I'll concede Fantavision is distinctive, though. Even if Armored Core 2 isn't your jam, you're just gonna poo poo on Gradius III & IV like that? drat, man.

Rollersnake posted:"Alice & Ape III" kinda sounds like a weird/bad Amiga platformer, and I'd assumed it was something along those lines until I happened to watch a playthrough of Arm Wrestling. The white background to it has reminded me for years of a single screen shareware platformer series from my DOS days. My brain says it was an alliterative title and the games all had a "playable" splash screen which had the title and roman numerals on it akin to that image. Now you know my hideous secret.
