Smart. Some really good SNES homebrew that doesn't get enough coverage. That and prices are often mega high.

You can neg me for that. 

Oh sorry.

I'm hungry.

Don't worry, being a 3DO, you will be able to do that soon! 

A positive only rep system would be better. I certainly don't want to smite anyone. There is too much negativity on retro gaming forums.

I think this is a bad idea. For example Rogue Trooper seems to have minus 1 and I most certainly did not do that. He will probably think I did. It will stir up bad blood imo.

I have no idea on the pad but amazed it actually even worked in the first place.

The connector is replaceable iirc.

Heh, fair enough. I like to complete games but tend to not bother with the more average ones.

Ha!

Why on earth did you play it then?

I couldn't vote Sonic. Sonic games are a mish mash of quality and the franchise has suffered some real lowpoints.
Throughout the 80's and 90's though, Sega put out some mentally good software.

Blimey! Votes are really spread out on this one so far! 

Just highlights the diversity of Nintendo stuff. You have Mario for platforming and family fun, Mario Kart for frantic action and competition, Metroid for Sci Fi and suspense and exploration, F-Zero for hardcore gaming racing, Donkey Kong for a tougher platform experience, Star Fox for shooting, Zelda for RPG action.

Nintendo do create a fair amount of variety, more so when you add in games like Pikmin, Pokemon, Punch Out and more.

Welcome.

Franchises are always tricky to get right I guess. It's successful for a reason and if you make changes you risk alienating fans but if you don't you get called lazy. Fifa for example cannot change because it's a sport but even then, each year EA to add a lot to the game.

As for old ones, games might have varied more because it was a more experimental time in gaming. The industry was so new and it had so many avenues to explore. Current gen games feel like they have nowhere to go. Also I still feel they are going backwards at the same time when you factor in things like automated platforming and button icons appearing above a character to execute a move EVERYTIME.

Completed Stargate (SNES)

Any good?


I played a few bits last night. Completed all cups on my SFC Super Mario Kart, then I moved onto Super Castlevania IV, which is utterly superb.
