Hard to go wrong between Contras and Castlevanias but I definitely prefer Hard Corps and slightly prefer Bloodlines. Comparing the TMNT games is like splitting hairs. I have so much nostalgia for the brawler genre but even an above average one like both of those TMNT games, there's just so little going on there. They look great and feel great but they're paper thin. Plenty of good games but the more time goes on the more I think SoR2 and 3 are the only exceptional 16-bit beat em ups.


What the fuck is up with Castlevania though? It's unreal how many GREAT GAMES are in that series.

Plus Treasure games like Gunstar Heroes and Alien Soldier are great too.

Why did Shinji Mikami want to remake Resident Evil? The original was perfectly fine and held up.

REmake patches up a number of plotholes from the original, and improved the gameplay, voice acting, and soundtrack, as well as the graphics.

>REmake patches up a number of plotholes from the original
It doesn't even address the biggest one of all: how all 5 STARS members escaped together. Barry is still completely absent in Chris's scenario and Rebecca in Jill's. They could have easily put them in a second cell down in the prison or shoved them in with the the other character, give them a line or two about Wesker capturing them, whatever. I guess adding a retarded looking Silent Hill reject and expanding the fan-favorite caves area took precedence.
>>
>>12126547
Because the series went Gamecube exclusive so they thought they had to introduce the series to Nintendo fans.
>>
>Yoshimura had several disagreements with Mikami about Jill's body shape. Yoshimura added a harness under her breasts to secure her shoulder pads and intended for Jill's chest to look like she was wearing a bra underneath her uniform.
>Originally, the uniform was all black to better fit S.T.A.R.S.' special operations nature, but it was later changed back to blue as in the original game. Some licensed action figures produced by NECA still used the black design. Yoshimura explained that the black uniform made her appear too sexy.
>Issues arose regarding Jill's outfit when the developers insisted her default outfit from Resident Evil 3: Nemesis be included. A meeting was held to decide the color of her underwear due to upskirt shots in parts of the game, going from white to black to light blue and back to black.
>Annoyed by the character designers' interest in Jill, Mikami had Katakai's team change several backgrounds to avoid upskirt shots.
Mikami is a fuckin tasteless fag and the game was good despite his involvement, not because of it.

I am deeply concerned with weather I actually beat games this day and age.
I have beaten many games on emulators and old games running on modern PCs, but the question hovers: did I beat the game?
Was what I did what was expected by not only developers but the culture at the time the games came out. Did the developers factor in playing in an arcade environment? I think environmental factors matter. Or with an old ball mouse? I think peripherals matter.
To go even further, if I beat a light gun game on an emulator with a mouse, both environmental and peripheral factors are wrong. The question becomes have I even played the game?
I don't know where the line is between actually experiencing the game and not lies exactly. Or where actually beating the game lies.
Can a game from the 80's even be beaten if that game is no longer IN the 80's?
If I play the prototype of a game, have I played the actual game?
If a game was released in an unfinished state, did anyone play it? What if it was completed and released outside its time, can anyone actually play it then?
Obviously I have played *something* and beaten *something*, but was it the game itself? A second parallel game? Something else?
I don't know.

Yes, KGB. Excellent game. My favorite point and click. It's a plot-driven spy game set in post-soviet Russia. It's realistic, depressing and difficult. The game is really successful at making you question who to trust. Most of the mistakes you'll make will bite your ass only hours later, so you often have to restart the chapter. It's impossible to finish the game without understanding the plot.

I've finished it several times so if you want some clues without too much spoilers tell me where you're stuck.

I did spears the last time I played, but I can't remember if it was good or not. It was like 6 years ago.
