Title: Games Review Guide - What do you want to see next?

Right everyone I thought I would throw in a bit of forum interaction regarding the games reviews!

I am at a stage now where I am not sure what to do next!

I have pretty much finished with Jaguar, Jag CD, 7800 and Lynx for now as I have reviewed near enough everything I have played.

I have recently been working on Sega Saturn reviews and uploaded a massive chunk this week so if you still want more of them then let me know. Or maybe you would like me to return to a system like the TurboGrafx, CD-i or Atari 2600?

Fancy something new then maybe I can do some Mega Drive or Mega CD reviews? Want me to really shock you and I can try tackling the NES!

Or is there something else you really really want to see? Please bear in mind this list has all systems that I know pretty well so if you suggest anything else I will only be able to do it if I can get access to the system.

I think you should do some NES reviews.
Lots of great platformers and RPGs for you to play through.  ;) LOL

I wanted to see some 32X coverage but changed my vote at the last minute.

I have 4 32x games so I could do a review of those if people wanted?

Don't have a 3DO and I am not going to review any games without having played them on a real machine, emulation is no substitute for the real thing.

I used to play on the 3DO a lot when I worked at game back in the day but it's been a long time now and memories are hazy.

Arrrgghh.. Any excuse  ;D, the 4DO emu is actually near perfect than an other emu of it's kind, 96-98% accurate to me should be enough for game reviews , I have not seen any bugs or lags with the software I've ran on it, and I have about 100 games for it, real hardware yes would be great, but when you haven't got it, this is as good as it gets..justifies taking a risk to me..no?  Lol.

I always used Freedo but have never tried 4DO. Does 4DO play the adult rated games well. Laird may take another look. LOL!

I'm a huge 3DO fan as well.  Would be great to see some reviews for it.  :)

Actually 3DO is a great call.
Title: Re: Games Review Guide - What do you want to see next?
Post by: TrekMD on August 30, 2012, 15:12:48 PM
Since Laird doesn't have a 3DO, how about one of the folks who do have one volunteer to write some reviews?

Title: Re: Games Review Guide - What do you want to see next?

how many games came out for the 3do as it goes? I know nothing about the system in general lol

I have one but I'm lucky if I can get my thoughts together just to make a post.  :-
I'd be useless at doing a review.

As for how many games were released for it I think there was just over a hundred.
That's english though, a lot more were released in Japan.

Has anyone asked Greyfox? Sounds like he knows the 3DO.

yes m8, 4DO is the pen-ultimate 3DO emulator, I have a post about it here (//http) , this runs nearly everything on the 3DO including those adult ones your talking about..this allow for screenshot capture/ joystick profiles etc..it's like have Gens mega-drive emulator, but for the 3DO..highly recommended..

but I recommend a warning of caution, these adult games can make you go blind and also become a stalker in your local mall, involving cases of sniffing girls bicycle seats and strange looks from middle aged women as they know you've been playing these type of games and misunderstandings when chatting with ladies in bars etc.. ..so be very careful while handling games of this nature.

LOL! I thought it would help Laird to review the 3DO. Ha! Ha! I keep my 3DO in storage till I am ready for some Road Rash. System prices are always going up and I worry about replacing the system. It would be nice to use a better 3DO emulator to just game on when the mood hits.

Greyfox you seem to know the 3DO really well. I would enjoy hearing more of your thoughts.

There is a member here called 3DO Kid (//http) - he is they guy you all need to be asking!

He did the recent 3DO tribute magazine that came out (see retro publications section) and is probably the biggest 3DO fan out there!

Sadly he has never posted here but try PM'ing him . . .

I really appreciate your faith in me on this..but I'm retarded and and incompetent when it comes to doing written reviews, I end up having to go for walks and throws eggs at passing cars in anger to the fact i can't write for nuts  ;)..

but until my I.Q. raises above 50, I'll pretend to sit here quietly knowing nothing  :P

Maybe you can review the proper way to throw eggs?  You are very articulate Greyfox. I think Laird is stalling because he dislikes everything that has an O in the name. NintendO, 3DO, Onthince, GreyfOx, and zapiy had to drop the O off of his name - zapiyO :D

I'll PM him and see if he replies.  Maybe that will get him started posting.

Still no clear winner so I did some more PC Engine / TurboGrafx reviews (as that was joint first) and I will do some more Saturn ones soon too.

I must add that actually, I did Air Zonk though which is like a future spin-off.
