Another great game!

Yes, yes, yes!
Return of the Joker is great too. Even harder and more frustrating though, but still great
Did anyone ever play Mario Is Missing? I remember it from my childhood, I bought it unboxed with no manuals or anything at a car boot sale when I was a kid, but none of my friends ever played it or even heard of it. I never finished it, I just remember running around a load of alleys for ages not really doing anything or knowing where I was meant to go either

I still play most games in the same fashion

Building the stadium and roads around the ground was the best bit, as was looking at the league tables and results on Teletext. Never managed to make the match fixing work. I always got caught and immediately sacked.
Hirō Isono, the artist from Secret of Mana (and other Seiken Densetsu games) has died
Always loved that cover artwork

Just snagged Maniac Mansion nice and cheaply from eBay.
Anyone played it?

The 1st game I ever recall playing was Contra in old Sega TV video game.
The 1st game in PC, I've become a major fan was original Age of Empires. This lead into a intense RTS years with my favourites being Red Alert 2 & warlords Battlecry 2 followed by Warcraft 2 (think it was 2D).
My other favourite was GTA2 (think this was also 2D) with 3 clans (yakuza etc etc) and kill frenzy. Simply brilliant

Lambo, do you (or anyone else) know about EPROM programming? I'd like to try and find out some things about it so that maybe someday I can learn how to patch some Super Famicom games with English translation patches. I keep finding more and more games that were only ever released in Japanese and it's annoying.
Does anyone remember Strider on the Megadrive? That was a right arsehole of a game. I played it a about a million times and never completed it. People bemoan save games in modern games, but the truth is it makes gaming a lot more fun because you don't have to repeat the same levels over and over again as you try to get to the end. The soundtrack to level one of Strider is seared into my brain.
I loved Strider! They have a new one:

Favourites from other consoles that I would love to play again;

fecking hell, I remember Aladdin game. I was like 5 years old and it was too difficult to me. Never finished it, amazing game.
I don't remember it being that hard on the Amiga. Lion King on the other hand. I went back to that a couple of years ago and still struggled on some bits.
I remember playing a bunch of Simpsons games as a kid and never completing any of them so I'm starting off with Bart's Nightmare. Bart vs the World will be next.
I had both Aladdin and Bart's Nightmare on the Megadrive. Good games.
Draconus on 8-bit Atari... Dark fantasy at it's best. Tale of a dragon blood family fighting for ultimate power over the realm. One of not many games about shape-shifting reptilian humanoid as a main hero. Epic game, dopiest soundtrack, ever.
Bare Knuckle 2 (a.k.a Streets of Rage)
Best scroller fighting game ever

So you're an ABBA fan, just as I suspected.

One of the few games that I actually completed in an arcade. Bad Dudes vs Dragon Ninja.
Just got my N64 out and it just has the old arial style connection, tried tuning it as I vaguely remember having to do but nothing's coming up? The tv I'm using is fairly new, does the console have trouble displaying on newish TVs?
You have to tune it in. You'll need to find some kind of analogue TV setting and then choose a channel to auto tune it.
I just use my Gamecube scart lead, it's much easier.

Odd that I see this bumped as soon as I download Theme Park World. What a game that was. Don't remember the helper guy being a jock though.
Sadly, for some reason I can't play the main game/full simulation mode, so technically, it doesn't work. Though I seem to recall having a similar problem before, and it seems other online are too.

Dr Dragos Madcap chase was class, I download it about once a year and play it for a good few hours atleast.
Theme Park World? I don't remember that, surely not as awesome as the original theme park or theme hospital.

I've got Theme Park World on the PS1. Never played it though.
I've got a real hankering to play Volified on the Amiga. Anyone remember that one?
Ay, tried that but not getting anything, ill have to get an adaptor online. Wanted to play F-Zero-X tonight!
What TV do you have?
I would do anything to go back and play this....Simple days
Right, I'm going on a really quiet holiday next week so wanna stock up on a few classic games to take away with me on my phone. Any suggestions for what to get. Preferably with straight forward controls for a phone. Was thinking of getting Final Fantasy IV or Super Mario RPG for starters.
Suggestions welcome
Suggestions welcome
I assume RPGs are most suited to smartphones and unfortunately not platformers or action games, so I'll say...
Secret of Mana
Secret of Evermore
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound
Illusion of Time (Gaia)
Terranigma

That's staring at me from a shelf right now. Awful sound on those Genesis games though! My ears bleed.
Lately though I've finally got around to playing the Resi evil remake on the GCN. What a job they did on that.
You've only just played it?
Awesome game.
I've got the full set in mint condition, including everything (Bar Resi1 now obviously) unopened. I've not been a huge fan in the past, but watching Walking Dead lately made me interested again
Ah, should have kept them all sealed, might have been worth something in a few years
I think in my game, I saved at a point with low ammo and low health, so each time I go to play it again I'm screwed

To be fair, past the early stages they just aren't as hard as I thought. Still, that's gotta suck!I think they are going for £40-£60 now especially sealed. Doesn't matter to me though, I'll never sell anyway.
feck you all!
