Re: The Making Of: Worms, The Bedroom-Coded Classic That Spawned A Million-Selling Series

The Ossett legends. Yeah be careful if you say Wakefield. We get very parochial in Yorkshire. Folk in Ossett will quickly correct you (and rightly so 😉).

Worms was one of the first games I had on my ps1. Myself and pals played it to absolute death. Another friend had it on his Amiga too. I got worms 2 on release for my pc and loved it. We even ran it on our high school network less than 10 miles away from Team17 hq. 😂 Loved the series. And own a classic T17 logo t-shirt that hangs proudly in my wardrobe next to a Pysgnosis one.

@Blast16 totally forgot 32x had one too. That did irk me back in the console warz days haha. Not one bit now. Glad mega drive owners got to have some fun too. And lets be fair getting it to even run on either platform? chefs kiss

It's not as epic as the 3DO port like haha.

Re: Doom II Comes To The SNES, Thanks To Fans

Ah man such conflicting feelings on the snes port. when it came out the only real exposure i had to doom was doom 2 on a neighbours computer. They didn't even have a soundcard. BFG sounded hilarious. Anyway eventually i found out it was coming to snes and leapt at getting it. Surely the mighty super FX chip can deliver? Well sorta. I see those limitations more now these days but my teenage eyes didn't so much. I enjoyed it but the lack of cheats and bad controls made it a hard to love version. In the end a playstation came along with its excellent port and then the pc. Funny enough this is why i also seem to have DOOM on EVERYTHING.

Re: CIBSunday: Amstrad GX4000

MysticWangForce

My cousin went from a CPC 464 to 6128+ while I still had the regular 6128. The cartridge slot on the side vexed me. But by then I'd started to transition to consoles anyway. Still don't regret having an amstrad, even if a lot of the ports were awful! This attempt at a console though was maybe a bit ill conceived... 😂

Re: 10 Forgotten Gaming Magazines That Are Worth Remembering

MysticWangForce

I vividly remember Go as part of CVG. But never considered it separate to the mag itself. Used to throughly enjoy picking up cvg every month when dragged to morrisons in Pontefract for the big shop with my mam. I used to get the Amstrad magazine posted to the house so i assume my mam signed me up for this. But can't find any copies in my old house.

Yeah i really wish i hadn't binned any of them now. Same with my Beano's and Dandy's

Re: Peter Molyneux Declined McDonald's Video Game Because "Kids Imagine Ronald Skewering Them"

MysticWangForce

heh, can't imagine it would have been great anyway. My mum bought me the NES mcdonalds game (global gladiators was it?). It was ok but passable. The amusing thing is they bought me that but refused to take me in McDonalds because the food wasn't served on plates with knives and forks. Hence we only ever went to wimpy. Hahahaha. it sounds very middle class but i can assure you we are not.

Re: Soapbox: The Trouble With Limited Run Games, And How To Fix It

MysticWangForce

To date i have purchased only one LRG product and that was quake 2. I have fond memories of playing the ps1 version. And i wanted to see what the pc one played like on modern equipment. Plus nightdive so woo! I was aware of the lead time on the disks and i suppose to my good fortune everything shipped when it was supposed to and it arrived just fine. I only wanted a normal retail physical version i could play on my ps4 and 5. So i was happy. The only other thing i would consider getting would be a dark forces remaster physical. But mind you i still have the big box pc copy....
