        Been playing Street Fighter Zero 2 this week on my Saturn, it is such an awesome game were every move and action counts. Cant decide whether i prefer this or Zero 3 as my definitive SF title.

          I prefer Zero 1!

            Whhaat? What exactly do you prefer about it over Zero 2?

            Comment


              For a start the audio on the console versions is a million times nicer and I simply prefer the more flowing combo system. I never quite gelled with Zero 2.

                I've been playing a lot of SD F-1 Grand Prix on the SFC. Anyone else played this awesome kart racer. What do you guys think of it?

                  Ah! I discovered that last week and really want to play it.

                    Not playing as such, but I've been at my dad's house recently and made him go into the loft to see what magazines I had up there. I'm currently looking through a pile of Commodore Format magazines, issues 6 to 41. It's pure nostalgia.

                    I really miss the days of popping to the newsies with a couple of quid in my pocket, getting a magazine with 2 or 3 full games on the front, and reading every page from cover to cover; fascinated by the reviews, previews, budget releases and features. There was an air of excitement and mystery to games in those days, that's long lost in this era of knowing exactly how many wanks the lead programmer of a FPS has sneaked out to have during a game's development.

                      What the heck kind of magazines do you read now?

                          Made loads of progress with Metroid Fusion.

                          Up to sector 3 atm (lava level but I don't have the heat suit) and I'm having a lot of fun with the new sprint power-up; so much fun just bulldozing through the walls and floor! Thought it was a nice touch that when you encountered the infected Samus walking on the platform below, you could catch up with her and have a battle - even though you almost instantly get frozen.

                          In Metal Slug Advance I've made it to the end boss of level 2 (the giant twin tank battle) but finding it a bit tricky to take down the second tank - keeps carpet bombing me before I can get the laser! think I just need to put in more practice.

                            metroid fusion is a great game, think i only took about a couple of very long sittings to do it, couldnt put it down. you played zero mission yet?

                                I can do that with my late 90s PlayStation mags. Reading about imports and the like. Good times.

                                For me, I've been playing Third Strike (PS2) on my 9" PVM. Turning off the game filter makes it almost look perfect. DC version has a 240p mode but no unblockables so hey. Great fun, even though I've memorised the attack pattern of the highest difficulty setting so it gets kind of boring. I guess this is what online is for?
