I think this video is faked, there isn't a lovely HUD covering 40% of the bottom screen and there actually seems to be some semblance of level design. no european could have made this

Pablo Nergigante posted:I might have told this story before but at the rental place in my hometown they had the game cases out on the wall with a little tag attached you would bring up to the counter. When Sonic 3 came out I was dying to play it but the tag was always gone. One weekend I went with my family and I decided to look inside the case and lo and behold the tag was inside. Some kid came over and started talking to me and I could immediately tell that he had hidden the tag in there. He started telling me that I shouldn’t rent it, he heard that when Sonic got hit by an enemy he would start bleeding and leave a trail of blood behind him for the rest of the game. That just made me want to rent the game even more of course. I wonder what that kid is up to now Bicyclops posted:this reminds me of the time in the eighth grade when my girlfriend broke up with me and they didn't even need to rename the characters in a video game to recreate it. she has the same name as a tekken character and so do i. a bunch of us were together and one our mutual friends fired up tekken and said "oh look, this character has the same name as your ex, and look! here's you!" and she had me play the guy with my name and she played the character with my ex's name. it was the first time i had ever played tekken and she kicked my rear end, just brutally kicked my guy in the balls over and over again, and she was like "oh look, it's just like what happened to you last friday!" and i was trying so hard not to cry that i had to leave. i've still never played any version of tekken again to this day. lmfao

I forget who I stole this joke from. probably seanbaby

This thread is surfacing gamemories long buried Quest 64... I now realize that the problem 10 year old me had wasn’t that I wasn’t good enough for the game, the game wasn’t good enough for me. Wow And i sank so many hours into Ristar on game gear lol. Owned that game so I guess it’s off topic, more for the janky games you love thread because tbh ristar was awesome At some point soon I’ll just need to go through an entire list of n64 releases, my parents were heroes for how many games I rented and I’ve brought them shame by mostly repressing those memories due to gameshame or forgetting them due to smoking hella weed once I turned 14

it doesn't really fit in this thread but it kinda does as a gaming selection fail – but on my part. i distinctly remember being a young child and getting to pick one SNES game at the store. i was stuck between a really cool looking space game with a sick dragon on the cover, or this spiderman xman game. i picked the latter. the former was Super Metroid. years later, i could pick one Final Fantasy game for the PC. at the time, i had only played FF6. i picked FF8, since it had 'much nicer graphics'. the other one looked kinda stupid and childish. of course, it was Final Fantasy VII. i can't stop thinking of what could have been. instead i focus on the wins, like randomly picking up Morrowind after seeing it in the store and knowing nothing about it.

Only slightly related but I remember my mom buying Super Mario RPG at Target and then getting really mad that it wasn't a traditional Mario platformer. She wanted to return it but I said I'd play it and it became my favorite game ever

I rented Lufia and the Fortress of Doom almost every weekend and got halfway through, every time. I've got major feels for Lufia but playing it now, the first one is terrible, almost unplayable due to encounter rate.

I did this also except my save was always intact cause I guess I was the only kid in my area renting it. And yeah, the first one is just a bad DQ clone with weird poo poo like party members trying to attack enemies that are already dead.

Lufia 2 is great but I tried the first one for the first time a few months ago and it’s not great. Massive improvement for the sequel
