Im baffled. I genuinly loved Goldeneye, Extreem G, SF2. When the Jaguar was fresh, I had always wished I could have had one. I heard rumors from the 'lucky' kids who owned both doom and avp. Touting that the jaguars Doom was the superior version. At the time I was so jealous that I couldnt play it. This stayed with me for a long time. I had always thought the jag version of doom was the best due to this, and felt i had missed out. I remember the older kids at school sneaking the console in to play avp at lunch. I never was allowed to have a go, just spectate with envy.
Most dissapointing for me? Genuinly Quarantine 2. Quarantine for me was jaw droppingly awesome, i loved its cyber feel, and the violence was awesome. To me it was the Doom equivalent to Carmageddon.
Quarantine 2 just seem to loose all its charm.
Another title that disapointed me was the Snes version of Jurassic Park. I lived in HK at the time. I remember seeing both version playing side by side in a shop.
Not owning a megadrive, and having a sfc, i always wished i could play that.
I was also dissapointed by the gameboy version of ghostbusters, which i purcashed from toysrus, and felt very underwhelmed.
Hah, i just noticed the title was highly rated, ah well, mine probably dont count.Last edited by redstar_dan; 31-07-2015, 23:55.

That makes me think of one thing I miss, retro-gaming wise - I miss the days when a movie IP would be turned into a game, and you'd get a genuinely different game on different platforms.

Boring in single player, bit better in 2 player but not by much, i'm aware that i'm a minority as so many love it. Not a huge fan of fighting games to start with but i never got the hype surrounding this one.
One thing I've often wondered is how the fighting game genre would've progressed if we'd never had Street Fighter II. Would Art of Fighting or the original Fatal Fury have taken on the status we tend to associate with Street Fighter?

The Graphics made me feel ill and the jump mechanic is awful. If that is how its supposed to play, maybe it isn't broken, just horrible.
EDIT
I remember trying it again, and I got to the tigers (I think they were supposed to be tigers) Just the game is so ugly I couldn't tell for sure.Last edited by ShadowDancer; 01-08-2015, 20:48.
