Classic Video Games / Re: List the systems and game (games) for each that defined the way you game

« on: November 13, 2015, 02:59:06 am »

I admit I was not a fan of Castlevania series since I was born in '88 and was more interested in Super Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog until much later in life (when Symphony of the Night was released for PS/SAT specifically) I also disliked many big-budget titles that were released, and First-Person shooters in general. I'm an arcade kid at heart. That being said, here are a few games that defined (most enjoyed/replayed) the way I play for each system;

NES: Adventures of Lolo, Little Nemo, Little Ninja Bros, Mega Man 2
SNES: Pocky & Rocky 2, Metal Warriors, Kirby Superstar, Super Mario World
TG16: Bomberman '93, Bravoman, Valis IV, Wonder Boy III: Monster Lair
GEN: Ristar, Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Headdy, Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition
SAT: Die Hard Arcade, Nights into Dreams, Fighters Megamix, Robo Pit
PSX: Trap Gunner, Mega Man X4, Galerians, Poy Poy
DC: Cannon Spike, Tech Romancer, Psychic Force 2012, The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999
PS2: The Adventures of Cookie & Cream, Silent Hill 2, Mega Man X8, Fur Fighters
X360: Super Street Fighter IV, Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition, The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match, Wartech


I've listed more of my favorite games for each system @Favlist.

General / Re: Scariest video game?

« on: October 01, 2015, 02:06:43 am »

Hi all. I am playing Nanashi no Game and it is CREEPY! The premise is kind of similar to 'The Ring' but instead of a cursed videotape it's a cursed video game. So have any of you played a game that genuinely scared you?

The King's Field series scared me as a kid, and I remember vividly getting creeped out playing the demo of Shadow Tower on PlayStation Underground demo disc. As a teenager it was Silent Hill 2 for PS2- til this day one of the scariest games I've ever played.

Classic Video Games / Re: Do you buy game guides? Anyone collect game magazines, or game guides?

« on: September 09, 2015, 01:47:06 am »

Video Game Magazine Collection (1988-2005)

Growing up I used to obtain individual video game magazines at the the local supermarket while my parents shopped for groceries. Usually buying 2-3 a month for years. I still have all of them actually, at one point in time I was possessed  in creating POGZ out of the pages of some of them unfortunately. Also when the video rental store Blockbuster was closing in my area (not the nation-wide closure) the employee gave me a stack of strategy guides mostly for Nintendo 64 games, eventually sold majority of those.

I also have a GamePro PlayStation encyclopedia which was a double-issue giving brief reviews of every North American released PlayStation game at the time.

Also on my magazine collection link; I've stacked multiple magazines on top of each other describing each of them in a drop-down message but it seems flickr has removed that option. 

Around 2010ish I supported GameFan return to magazine format and bought the first issue, and also occasionally bought Retro Gamer (UK) magazines 2012-13.
