Me either. It's fine, it will only mildly annoy me until the end of time. I was so proud of my 2007 NA join date

Gloves is a freakin' hottie.

Ahoy!

I love Golgo 13 which has different screens with different types of action gameplay, culminating in a 3D maze (a genre I also love!) Phantom Dust blends genres smoothly instead of having multiple distinct things. It's essentially a collectible card game played as an action game.

Hey, I have a picture with Garry Kitchen and David Crane of Activision/Absolute fame.

Telling Lies. It's bad. Lots of listening to one side of two sided conversations, lots of irrelevant videos, lots of rewinding, not a super interesting story in the end after you slog through it. The developer tried to imitate their past success with Her Story in a way that entirely doesn't work IMO.

Sure, competition and innovation in the high end graded space is good. I separate Wata out from the hype and speculation that followed, since I wouldn't really consider the prices people pay for CIB TMNTs Wata's fault. And hey, at least in the short term I can walk into a game store or the guy that just uses VGPC at the flea market and maybe pull out a $40 NES variant that's "worth" $250 now. When was the last time game hunting was this fun?

I know, it's impressive, and even animated. I'm an overachiever.

I love late 70s/early 80s Ballys and 90s Bally/Williams (like everyone does). Paragon, Flash Gordon, Future Spa, Fathom, Medusa, Centaur, Playboy, Frontier... Then basically every single machine from Whirlwind through Monster Bash, although I prefer the early 90s like Whirlwind, TZ, Star Trek, and Road Show. I don't like most Sterns and the constant multiball, half hour long games they can be. I'd really like to get a CFTBL, Flash Gordon, and Johnny Mneumonic. I just need time to make room and I'm sure all of those games are super expensive these days, except Flash Gordon because bad players always complain at how bad they are on it because they're bad.

Hoarding loose cards? Weak, how are they getting into an elite private school on that?

For an overpriced Wii U game that will never be anybody's favorite Zelda game, I'd happily cash out some equity, but I'd never own it to begin with. For anything I actually like, nope.

Looking for a CT registration card. For like... $30? I don't think I can do $50, I'd just buy a CIB copy, nab it, and resell at that point. My box is like an 8/10, I'll also buy a Chrono Trigger if you have a 9/10+ box with the reg card for that double upgrade.

At PRGE this year, loose Atari games were individually priced at almost every vendor (although of course still unsorted and haphazardly thrown in a box). I think there was ONE dollar bin of games on the floor. Of course no one was buying any of them in any case. However, if one person bought an individually priced copy of Pac-Man for $5, they would single handedly increase the market price of that game tenfold.

I know nothing about Civ II (I'm a Civ IV kind of guy) but the Civ II expansion box art is just one of my favorites ever. I loooove it.

IT'S CLOSE. Look, I love Ninja Gaiden III like nothing else, but you can't get between a guy and his favorite Mario, Zelda, Metroid.

Those poor games, hasn't anyone ever heard of some nice neutral white LEDs!

I love DK64 and Goldeneye. Both have fantastic campaigns. Games aren't really made like DK64 anymore, so it's at the top of its genre, but people still complain about having to play through each level as each Kong. Goldeneye just has great levels and objectives, maybe not the best framerate or controller. But guess what, people play FPSs on consoles all the time instead of PC FPSs at 200fps with mouse and keyboard, so if you can live with sub-optimal framerates and controllers of modern consoles, you can live with the sub-optimal framerates and controls Goldeneye for the sake of one of the best FPS campaigns out there!

Welcome buddy

I'll take GOG over Steam any day. Many times I've spent $2 on a GOG game just so I don't have to break out my discs and install/patch a game manually. IMO GOG sales are still pretty good while Steam sales usually haven't been great for almost a decade now.

I write a text note to myself sometimes mentioning the difficulty but I don't really rate it. Most games these days would get a 0, since they're just supposed to pull you through to the end with a story not really challenge you with the gameplay. My ratings would change a lot over time too. I think Ninja Gaiden II is the hardest NG game on repeated play (I don't have a consistent way to beat Jacquio), but I beat it the first time with less trouble than NG1 or NG3 because they're more punishing about sending noobs back to git gud.

Wow, congrats dude.

I always come back to Sub-Terrania. And all the classics SMG, Morrowind, Zelda, Ninja Gaiden, Castlevania, Diablo II, Doom, MGS, Out Run, Metroid Prime, etc.

The game next to Fatal Fury 2 sure looks interesting.

I changed from two spaces to one in college. I forgot what convinced me, but I was convinced somehow.
