I remember being at E3 near its US debut. Colored was definitely the focus, even got a shirt. I always did wonder what happened to these guys. Crazy story.
I remember being pretty upset once the I realized that Solid Snake was no longer the main character. I let my little brother take over and watched him play though until the end. So yeah, never did finish MGS2.
@JayJ Seriously! EGM and GameFan were my only havens for import gaming (didn’t own a computer after college). In my hometown, this video game store opened and that was another time I saw import games for the first time (though I could never afford anything there at that time).
I remember seeing this game for the first time at a local anime convention. Really, it was the first time I had seen import games in person. It blew me away!
Ah, this series premiered just as I was entering junior high school. While I did love the art style and awesome 90s anime intro, it wasn’t particularly fun for me to watch. I think the butchered story for US kiddy audiences was underwhelming, for me.
I had the referenced EGM! I didn’t know it was a meme lol. I was still heavy into 2D games, so I remember seeing the skeletons and just being very unenthusiastic.
The fact that the Neo Geo is and has continually pushed the limits of its functionality is amazing. I thought Samurai Shodown as a teen was as good as it gets. This thing will never die and I’m here for it.

Re: ModRetro's FPGA N64 Appears To Use FPGAzumSpass's MiSTer N64 Core
Would be interesting if it came out before the Analogue 3D.

Re: Captain America And The Avengers Gets The Unofficial Remake Treatment, And It's Free
Although MUGEN and OpenBOR were exciting back in the aughts, it’s mostly just meh nowadays.
Re: Talking Point: If You Think AI Can Make SNES Games, We Have Some Magic Beans We'd Love To Sell You
In grand scheme of things with current AI, it’s just okay at making creative things. It’ll take a few years, me thinks.
Re: It Looks Like Legendary's Street Fighter Movie Has Just Found Its M. Bison
Isn’t it Cody Rhodes as Guile?
Re: 'Final Fantasy Mystic Quest' Could Soon Be Playable On Your Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
I know a lot of older games have that retro “this is actually pretty good” appeal, but Mystic Quest is a game I didn’t enjoy then nor now.
Re: You'll Soon Be Able To Play One Of The Most Obscure Final Fantasy Games In English
@Bakamoichigei same, I enjoyed the series.

Re: Random: This New "3D" Demo For The Neo Geo Is Seriously Blowing Our Minds
The fact that the Neo Geo is and has continually pushed the limits of its functionality is amazing. I thought Samurai Shodown as a teen was as good as it gets. This thing will never die and I’m here for it.
Re: Looks Like 3DO Might Be Getting An Unofficial Port Of PS1 Classic WipEout
@jygsaw and just now remembering there was a Starblade port…
Re: Looks Like 3DO Might Be Getting An Unofficial Port Of PS1 Classic WipEout
I guess I’m dumb, because I didn’t know the 3DO was capable of pushing polygons.
Re: DOS Lovers Rejoice! The Beloved Apogee Game 'BioMenace' Is Being Remastered For Steam
Man, Apogee was THAT game dev in the DOS days. Cool to see this!
Re: Attacking Retro Modders Is Not Cool, And It Needs To Stop
I think we can all agree that only people that deserved to be attacked is the Supersega “team”.
Re: "A Kid's Desperate Wish In 1992?" - Yes, This Is Street Fighter II On The Philips CD-i
Crazy, was just thinking about how the CDi lacked fighting games.
Re: Turns Out Ken Kutaragi Has A Nintendo PlayStation Kicking Around In A Cupboard
To this day, I still wonder what SNES CD games would’ve been like. If I remember correctly, what became Chrono Trigger was originally a CD game.
Re: SuperSega Boss Is Now Trying To Block People Getting Refunds
I know he only really covers the PC sector, but it’d be so cool to see Steve from Gamers Nexus dig into this chump.
Re: AYANEO's Pocket ACE Promises To Be "The Dream Machine For Retro Gamers"
EDIT: Annnnnd, it’s just another Android emulator machine. Mehhhhh.
Ehhhh all the PC handhelds are all the same to me now. Unless they’re doing some kind of FPGA dealy, I’m not too excited.

Yo, if this is a mini PC with oculink, I might bite 😆
