Still play my Genesis library to this day and of course my Dreamcast one of my favorite consoles of all time.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. R.I.P. sir.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. I often find myself humming his iconic tunes from many of his games at times. Especially River City Ransom, Nintendo Wolrd Cup and Super Dodge Ball. One of my favorites was in the NES version of Super Dodge Ball when you faced the mirror team.

The problem with achievements is that developers use them to add unnecessary fluff to game to claim its a longer game then it is and in turn that divided the gaming community and created completionists.

To many times I read or seen games advertise say stuff like this game is over 80 hours long or similar claims only to play the game and beat the entire story in less then 20 hours. But developers add a stupid achievement like jumping in one spot 100 times in a row and which take awhile and thus say the game is longer then it is.

Then you have the completionists who are so toxic and act so elite that when you say you beat a game's story they argue with you that you didnt beat the game because you didnt get the achievments.

The game is done completely when the story is done or the final level is finished. Period end of story. It doesnt matter if you jumped 100 times in a row in one spot or gathered 1000 coins in an hour or some b.s. like that. Achievements where created to lie to consumers and to create a toxicity in the gaming world.

I might have to check this out. I loved LotR Conquest despite all its flaws. My son and I put so many hours into that game. Its one of my top games that I want a remaster of.

I never got past Mechaturtle when I played as a kid. I didnt know that you could keep collecting the scrolls. Also by the time I finally got past the dam(n) level I didnt have much in the way of lives. Come to think of it I only think I got to Mechaturtle once.

I played so much Battletoads when I was a kid that after awhile the Tunnel was nothing. I had the whole thing memorized that it became second nature.

The only one I played was the Gamecube game and that was for all the NES games.

I never heard of this game before but it looks interesting. My first card game was a game called Spellfire which was actually made by TSR who owned D&D before they sold it to WotC. It was interesting enough and being into D&D at the time it was easy for me to get into.

There were alot of card games I tried before getting into Magic: The Gathering and I never got into Pokémon or Yu-gi-oh as those came out after I got out of those card games. Heck I think the newest version of MtG I have is 4th edition.

I always thought it was Igarashi that created the term since he created SoTN.

I remember Nintendo Power running a similar contest in the 90s. Its where Knightman and Windman in Mega Man 6 came from.

I always wanted to get a few of their machines problem is I just dont have the space for them. Especially when a few of those games like the TMNT ones and Marvel VS Capcom have been released on modern consoles, which take up less room. Granted some games weren't like The Simpsons and a few others or of course are meant to be played as an arcade for the full experience. But still they are niche products.

2025 has been a tough one for me as celebrity deaths go, this one just adds to it. Such a great actor not just in Mortal Kombat. His lines "IT HAS BEGUN!!!" and "Your soul is mine" are so iconic. It was such a great surprise to see him in MK 11.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans. R.I.P. sir and thank you for such memorable moments.

Not surprising the guy is a liar and a fraud.

@slider1983 Its not that its even nostalgia bait they just drop names on stuff that dont even look like the stuff there named for. Now whenever you mention Demogorgon people think its some sort of plant monster rather then a demon. There is paying homage to the source material then there is just straight up insulting it. The reason they do it is to just get people to watch.

Stranger Things does t do any research at all the just name drop things to get people's reaction. Just look how they f*ucked up the Demogorgon and Vecna from D&D. Now because of that stupid show I cant use either in my D&D campaigns without it turning into a laughing stock.

Another legend has passed. My condolences to her family and friends. May she R.I.P.

Analogue products are solid and I expect nothing less with this one. Love my Super NT and MegaSG. Sadly though I will pass on this as I sold all my N64 games years ago to a co-worker, and all the games that I want to play on the N64 like GoldenEye, OoT and a few others are available in other ways.

I saw this the other day on my Facebook feed. It looks interesting and wouldn't mind trying it. Problem for me though is finding other people to play it with.

Always enjoyed the Battletoads arcade game, it's the Battletoad game I wanted as a kid. I didnt get a chance to play it till way later through emulation and then again on the Rare Replay.

Its by Ubisoft? If its not Assassins Creed or Far Cry it will be dead in a year, just look what they did to XDefiant.

@KingMike From my understanding it was the whole Saturn debacle that soured EA's relation with Sega. The "surprise" early release of the Saturn as well as the limited release to certain stores cost EA alot of money and then the life span of the Saturn. EA just felt that it wasn't worth dealing with Sega anymore after that fiasco.

@KingMike I remember Nester's Funky Bowling its one of the games I have. I am guessing that it was region exclusive to help push the Virtual Boy sales due to Nester being a character from Nintendo Power magazine.

@mariteaux The older Maddens were so good its really a shame that EAs greed ruined that series. I recently picked up Madden 05 on PS2 and I am having more fun with that game then Madden 25. The engine was so much better.

With that said the reason most people regard them as junk is because most hard-core Madden players want current rosters teams, logos etc. Once the new one comes out it previous one is junk.

Also alot of the younger generation never played the older Maddens the started with PS3 and Xbox 360 Gen Maddens and buy then they games weren't the same just the same garbage year after year with less content and a poor engine, which EA continues to build on.

I remember getting alot of my Virtual Boy games from Blockbuster when they were clearencing them out. I got them for $5 each sadly I didnt have Jack Bros or Virtual Bowling.

The main reason I never played or could get into Metal Gear Solid 2. It still makes me wonder why the got rid of Snake as the main protagonist and replaced him with Raiden.

This game just screams 80s. The box art reminds me of some 80s action flick and I love how they incorporate the title into it where hes punching through it. The game itself is a fun game too. I remember renting it a few times when I was a kid.

I actually forgot about this game, lol. Didn't know if it ever came out and I just missed it or what.

Nice to see MS supporting the Evercade.

I remember seeing one at my friend's house. Never played it though, his parents wouldn't let us. That's my only memory of the Amiga.

When I first got to the level when I was a kid and saw that it was slightly different then the picture on the box, I figured it was either removed from the game or was an earlier version of said stage that was changed later on.

@Serpenterror Well Johnny Cage was based off of JCVD after they couldnt get him. But yeah he was a poor choose for Guile I was joking about him being busy. But yeah JCVD's style is all wrong for Guile.

@dodgykebaab Well you got one right I dont watch current WWE. But I do know who Cody Rhodes is mainly from his early years in WWE and AEW. Now do I think hes Guile material no I do not. Granted at least he's American where as JCVD wasnt.

What was JCVD unavailable. The whole casting makes no sense at all. I strongly believe there's is a contest in Hollywood on who can make the worst Street Fighter movie.

Hopefully the food is better then Chuck E Cheese's.

People tend to forget that the original Xbox was created as a way to play direct X games hence the original name Direct X Box. Its purpose was to be a user friendly PC for the living room that anyone can use and it did accomplish that. They weren't in it to make games.

This casting is all over the place and makes no sense. I am beginning to think there is a contest going on in Hollywood on who can make the worst Street Fighter movie.

The casting is so puzzling. I cant seen anything good to come out of it. I am guessing their is a contest in Hollywood who can make the worst live action Street Fighter movie. They say third time is a charm, so far it doesnt look that way.

@smoreon Well you also have to consider supply and demand too. As I said alot of the people who wanted NES/SNES games a few years ago have either moved on or they have want they want. Most of the kids nowadays are looking for PS2, Xbox GameCube because that's what they grew up with and have a nostalgia for.

@smoreon The PS and Xbox games have gone up because that's what's in demand now. All those kids who grew up on PS and Xbox are now young adults and going back to rebuy and collect the games from their childhood, this the spike in price. While NES and SNES games arent much in demand anymore as those that grew up with it either dont care anymore or have all that they wanted so prices leveled out.

My son who grew up with a PS2 and is doing that same thing and I too notice PS2 games that were $5 to $10 bucks a few years ago are now a bit more.

I have noticed that alot of prices for NES games and SNES have come down quite a bit. Normally games that would have cost me $20 I am finding for $5 or less and games that were $50-$60 dollars I am getting for $20. I mean I still see the occasional Chrono Trigger going for $800 but for the most part prices have seemed to stabilize the last few years.

That's great to hear. I hope he takes this time to separate his work Google accounts from his private one.

Man that sucks. Slopes Game Room is one of my favorite channels and if it gets deleted that will be a tragedy.

However, in this day and age of the internet you gotta be careful what you download and to your account especially if you dont don't understand it or can't read it. The problem is that companies like Google, Activison and many that have online communities use bots and A.I. for moderation so if anything goes against their user agreement that their program sees is wrong they automatically ban the account even if you dont mean anything by it or you didnt understand what it said. All it sees is that your account has violated a TOSA.

A friend of mine got his account deleted in Black Ops 6 because someone on his team used a homophobic slur over the mic. The bot picked up on it and banned the whole team. Even though they didnt know the person or anything.

Another friend of mine got in trouble years ago for downloading child porn because he set his PC up to download what he thought was regular movies from a torrent site and went to work without checking what they were. Even though it was labeled as stuff like Iron Man, and other top movies at the time. It took him years and alot of money to clear it up with law enforcement.

Point is just becareful what you download especially if you cant read it or understand it. I do hope that DJ Slope gets it all sorted out and is able to keep his stuff in the end and wish him luck.

I just play my Genesis games on my Mega SG from Analogue.

@BionicDodo @Moroboshi876 I remember seeing the Street Fighter II one in a store years ago and they did have a riser for it that you could purchase seperate to make the machine taller.

@Mayhem That makes sense, I really didn't get into gaming till the NES, I was too young before that. I remember messing around on my cousin's Atari back in the day but that was just a novelty back then.

I remember getting that along with Soul Calibur II and my GameCube from Gamestop back in the day. I believe I still have it somewhere to this day.

Thoughts go out to his family, friends and fans.

Wow didn't realize they had a game for Usagi. Of course the Commadore wasn't big here in America so there's that.

Also to be honest I didn't know Usagi Yojimbo was its own thing I remember seeing him crossover in the TMNT cartoons when I was a kid then of course getting his TMNT figure one Christmas morning. It was till years later that I discovered he was his own thing.

The problem is Arcades just arent the magical place they were in the 70s to 90s.

Once consoles like the Dreamcast came out delivering games on par with the Arcades there was no need to go to an arcade. Why spend $50 bucks an hour fighting playing Soul Calibur when you can get the game for the same price and play it whenever you want and own it for life?

Not only that but now you have emulators which people can download on just about any device including their phones and play games whenever and wherever they want no need to go to an arcade.

Not to mention ports to modern systems like the TMNT Cowabunga Collection, various Atari Collections, Midway Collections, Neo Geo Collections etc, etc there is no need for Arcades.

While I get the owner is doing it more for the social aspect people are alot less sociable these days as they were 30 to 40 years ago.

@HammerGalladeBro Probably the easiest would be contact Nintendo and see what they suggest or set up a repair with them.
