Had a rough session on mario world last night. I spent about 15 lives on one level and gave up.
Looking for something random to relieve the stress, I tried Donkey Kong Country. Gf perks up - turns out she used to play this, too. So we played for a while. She played DKC2 and went ape when I put it on, remembering the music. Then she said she loved Crash Bandicoot so I'm off to Akihabara to pick it up if it's cheap.

i've moved onwards and upwards to Sega Rally 2 on the DC, after utterly blasting the Saturn version. It feels so ridiculously slow compared to the original! I'd also forgotten how terrible the DC controller stick was for driving games.
Really enjoying my Sega buying binge lately, and re-buying some DC titles I had at launch feels like a walk down memory lane. Remember rushing home with Sega Rally & Sonic Adventure, thinking I was the absolute dogs nugs.

Crash Bandicoot is pretty frustrating to play these days. I loved the series at the time but honestly, it's a game where you can really see they were transitioning between 2D development and 3D development and didn't manage to pull it off nearly so well as Nintendo did (to be fair Nintendo's jump to 3D was pretty masterful).
If you're already tearing your hair out with SMW, I would pick up Crash 2. It's a lot easier than the first game and more polished, too. IMO.

I have finished Final Fantasy VII this year, still awesome.
Also Ys V on Super Famicom is really playable and probably my favourite so far of the 5 I have played. Finished it last night.
Finally completed the Maximum GP on Ridge Racer 5 after almost 15 years! Kept failing on last race! [emoji1]
Now in to Super Hang-on. Not a game about waiting around for someone as suggested by Maiko.

Originally posted by nakamura View PostStarted the original Tomb Raider on PS1 and despite the dated control, it's fantastic. The level design is so clever and the save system is superbly done. The game is more tense than any Uncharted game I have played and can be very atmospheric due to the clever use of sound.

Originally posted by Decider-VT View PostI never really got on with the rest of the series. The action sequences worked in the first one because they were so sparingly used but I mostly preferred the atmosphere of being left (almost) alone in a huge, underground tomb. The bit with the sphinx was a real "wow" moment for me back then.
