Found some old, really old, like Lyle posts back when he was 45 in 1986 complaining about Ultima 2 and wanted to share some and let you look through the archive as well

i just dreamed that someone on imp zone was explaining that egm doesnt know anything about pc gaming so they mailed me 3 demo disks that came with the magazine as examples of games that they rated highly for no good reason with a hand written note to mail them to other posters on the thread when i was done.

one of the games was an avp rts i didnt get around to playing, the next one was the video game adaption of the asylum film 'alien.vs hunter' and the last one was the cryptically titled 'command 2'

command 2 is a bible themed 3d rts like ground control where you get a set amount of units for each mission, the first mission you control a bunch of healers and lepers that all stary at half health and 2 crossbow men and you walk halfway across the map down a straight valley until you find some slaves being held on a hill by some romans. the game now goes into turn based action where you try to negotiate their release. if you shoot any of the romans physics takes over and they roll down the hill knocking all your units over like bowling pins before theyre slaughtered by the rest of the army, slaves also have the option of pushing them down the hill but the same thing happens.

luckily my girlfriend then came in and woke me up so i could stop playing the demo of notoriously bad game command 2

Well, I am glad to see that Nintendo didnt COMPLETELY
butcher MK. Sounds like they did do some snipping here
and there, but I was getting mental pictures of..

Scorpion LASSOing his victims
Changing the name to
(almost)
MORTAL
KOMBAT
or something equally lame like CareBear
Sissyboy Slapfight (might as well nothing really
MORTAL without fatalities)

Kano finishing off people with a fatal titty twister

The infamous Pit o' Pillows! Yeeow! AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa!!!!! *fluff*


Ill stop my mindless blathering now! :)

If in fact Project Reality arrives on schedule, this of course
being the 10 million dollar question, it will be the most advanced video game
system in history. The promised performance capabilities of the 100 mega-hertz
, 100+ MIPS machine will take it literally where no game platform has gone
before. If the promised retail of ~$250 holds up this machine, with
considerably more power than most pc's, could make even the computer industry
a little uneasy. Nintendo also promises the machine will deliver realtime,
anti-aliased polygon texture mapping (Cybermorph fans starting to feel a
little itchy?) and be capable of moving more than 100,000 polygons per second.
There is frankly no stopping that kind of power.

I always wondered if people in the 90s really said stuff like "dead, kaput, sayonara" or it was just movie dialogue

this one is especially funny because hes right on for all the specs, but just seems to think that it will make a computer capable of guiding saddams warheads with no issue

i kind of want a jaguar just so i can play avp on original hardware, but the thought of paying $700 to play any game on this controller means it will probably never happen

there was a doom wad with a bunch of different mappers that people were looking forward to, but the day before it was scheduled to come out it got bought by id software to be part of final doom

it didn't go down so well, at least initially
