Hello fellow boomers/uncs, I have an idea for a thread.

Post the year you were born and give a game recommendation to the previous anon from the year THEY were born.

For instance, I was born in 1991, so the first anon to reply to this OP should give me a game recommendation that released in 1991, and also give their own year of birth so the next anon can recommend something to them.

wow just played the genesis version of this (tried Amiga ST but the core wouldn't load on my anbernig) and wow this game fucking sucks im glad my mom never rented this for me as a kid. although there are some cool aspects even using the James Bond theme. but when I was a little kid I loved all the James Bond movies I think I would have been so pissed at this game

Pretty much the same reaction as everyone in this thread. Only thing I do not like about it is how you cannot defeat him the alternative way unless you purposely die. If campbell doesn't tell you about it, you can't even destroy the statues.

Sort of, but it's a lot more subtle.
You can find a razor before meeting Snake and Raiden gives it to him in the cutscene. In the hallway before the first gauntlet of tengu soldiers, you can see his facial hair is gone. Save, fast forward time about a week later, and the facial hair is back.

FF8 was written by Nojima who never commented about the story. Whatever anyone else at Square says is irrelevant and should be taken as superficially as any random player's opinions. FF8 in particular was especially vague on details even for a FF game, obviously intentionally. It's the complete opposite of FF7 where virtually every single plot point is explained in autistic detail and the ones that aren't don't really matter.

You play as Squall and you only know as much as Squall knows. Moon monsters? Crystal pillars? Centra? Sorceresses? Some faggot named Hyne? Whatever.
>>
FF8 never happened. Squall died in the opening cutscene when Seifer shoots him in the head. It was all a dream.
>>
>>12313197
Squall is dead is the most retarded fan theory, the entire game is already foreshadowed on disc 1

plus if you're going to imply that someone is dead then you'd have the ice magic pierce their heart and not their right shoulder

If Squall isn't dead then why does he have a coffin in his room? Why is his fursona named Griever?

1994. Through the meteoric rise of the Master System and Mega Drive in Europe, Sega have proven that they are worthy rivals to Nintendo. Their new mascot, Sonic, has already enjoyed considerable success with his first two platformers, and hype surrounding his third has reached fever pitch. So, too, has Sonic the Comic enjoyed success, with several spin-off titles achieving modest sales of their own.

Born into an aristocratic family, Faye grew up with every privilege and was heiress to a vast fortune of old money. However, early in life, she developed a strong desire to earn her own worth, rather than rely on inherited advantages. Defying an arranged marriage to another trust fund nepo baby, she joined the Cornerian Air Force, where she quickly distinguished herself as a highly skilled pilot. Following her required tenure in the military, she took on work as a security consultant. She retains her upper-class manners but combines them with a disciplined, self-made drive. However, her aristocratic upbringing also makes her a bitposh and girly, sometimes manifesting as an excited, almostteenage-like enthusiasm when encountering new technology or shopping for gear. This contrasts with her moremannered, prim, and properdemeanor in formal settings or during professional duties.

Miyu's upbringing stands in stark contrast to Faye's. Born in the depths of space aboard a salvage junker, her early life was a harsh lesson in survival: either contribute or be left behind. She was already six years old before her feet ever touched a planetary surface. As a seasoned spacer, she's encountered countless bandits and space pirates, honing her combat instincts and developing a fierce love for a good fight. While she has developed into an impressive engineer in her own right (a skill often essential for salvage and survival in the void), she prefers to be in the cockpit, looking down the targeting reticle at her enemies. Despite their vastly different backgrounds, she and Faye are close friends, their bond forged through shared experiences and mutual respect. Miyu is characterized by herimpatient and brashnature, often acting on instinct and a love for confrontation. She's quick to action and direct in her communication. However, she can alsosoften considerably with the proper distraction, particularly when engaged in her shared hobbies or deep technical discussions, revealing a more thoughtful and engaged side.
