I didn't like it. They did tank controls in the Bubsy 3D style that made it nearly unplayable. Where as playable tank controls would be like RE and Siphon Filter. They're not even tolerable on PC with mouse and keyboard.

Were you a late holdout to upgrade your systems back in the day? What were some of your favorite late releases? You know, games that that were released in the last year or so of the official support of the system?

I really love Zoda's Revenge, it's a weird game in a weird and brief Nintendo franchise. There's something relaxed about it. 1994 for Nintendo had all kinds of crazy shit going on - Super Metroid, DKC, Final Fantasy III etc....here was a game saying "hey man it's too loud over there, let's just chill out" you know?

You're judjing the things you've built your very imaginaation on to be evil, for what?
Because some men who are evil are living their lives irresponsibly? Aren't you someone who can be responsible with anything?
But, even though different people struggle with various things in life, they all have the potential to have a good heart.
That's why this first world is a test, to filter out people who refuse to take responsibility for their actions. The next world will be a reward for people who truly want to be good.

Many years ago, I'm talking about the mid 00's, a guy told me he had a lot of fun doing this "griefing" trick in some MMORPG

>go to a distant forest area of the map
>when you find a monster, give him only 1 hit
>run away so he chases you to hit you back
>do this with every monster you encounter
>when there are around 50 monsters chasing you, go to a village full of low level players

Someone could have an idea of which MMORPG was he talking about? I forgot which one it was although I have suspicions it might have been Runescape.

nah you're getting it wrong (as your kind intentionally do). you could totally say you were a bush supporter in the 2000s in world of warcraft, most people didn't care. it's when people started making politics their entire personality and deliberately bringing it into places it didn't belong and being obnoxious bout it did moderation have to start cracking down.

If you want overrated look at the Xenosaga games.

There aren't a lot of game magazines left to subscribe to. Surprised that PC Gamer is still around. Seriously, your main options are Edge , PC Gamer. or the retro magazines.

There is some charm to distinctly of their time licensed games, as in, games based on IPs which had practically zero longevity, and there was only like a one year window during which such a game could ever be made. Sure maybe a modern Flintstones game would be a bit weird, but the series has had such staying power that it wouldn't be patently absurd, but something like Aaahh!! Real Monsters for Genesis/SNES could only have been made, and was only ever relevant, during about a two year window in the mid-90s. Nobody would make such a game after that time, and hardly anybody would bother to play it after that, short of maybe poor kids who got one from a Goodwill bin. Very much an of the era game, and something which evokes an even stronger feeling of nostalgia for the era than something like the Beavis & Butt-head games, which people will still play since the series is still fairly popular (and has had revivals)
