The Gamer's Quarter

I had great affection for Donkey Kong game and watch (pictured in the ad). It actually captured the experience pretty well, and the design was pretty interesting. If I recall correctly, you had to do ...

I dunno, I've always really enjoyed the game's visuals, even the boss sprites - especially that first bug guy with the heart in the rib cage. It's probably appropriate that it and the swamp monster l ...

yeah, looks like time has eaten away at some of my scanning there, including a few pages from that egm article. I should rescan the next gen "biggest failures of all time" article again sometime.

grab a couple of controllers and head into versus mode, but specifically snake's stage. Select Snake as player 1 and whoever you want to hear the conversation about as player 2. then simply use a d ...

yeah well, the map kind of ruins the most profound design in the game, now doesn't it?

Now I've hardly played a lick of the original JSR (and I admit that the speed put me off after playing JSRF), BUT

If anything I thought JSRF's problem was that the game was spread too thin despite ...

I was playing this game again and I noticed how deliberate the placement of certain world Items were. I was on my way out of Nova Prospekt and I hit the corridor where the Combine shut off the lights ...

i hate it when i get into bands like the residents tehy have so many albums which ones should i go out and buy RIGHT NOW

If you are looking for an official way to play SML or other old Gameboy games without playing it on a brick, just getting your hands on any old Gameboy Advance should do it, and I'm pretty sure the Ga ...

The first time I owned SML I "borrowed" it from an elementary school friend. I still feel bad for not giving it back, but I can't say I have regrets about it.

jesus, i remember announcing this in ic or sb like 11 months ago.

can't you make us anticipate this moment just a little longer mc donalds???

You know, Marathon 2 is like, my girlfriend's father's FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME (he is like 67, by the by) and I think it looks really neat! But when I sat down and played it the view-bob gave me the ...

I kinda like that it's impossible to get even close to fulfilling all the goals that Dead Rising provides for you the first time around, and that there's so many interesting things around and no tim ...

Fall/Winter is a good time for apocalyptic titles. Panzer Dragoon Zwei's cold landscapes and warm colors suit fall, I think.

MGS 2 for the hazy, orange dog days of summer.

Yeah, I still haven't seen them in stock in my area. People called me crazy for waiting in line the night prior to launch!

Ahem.

yeah.

In fact, the whole axe sub forum had a pretty terrible stigma in the beginning. at one point chuplayer was raging with anger because one of his awful threads got moved there. and no one e ...

Hey, I was the first block quote. neat!

great read so far, I think I can actually see dhex's tongue poking clear through his cheek while detailing Internet forum slang.

Now. There's some good stuff. Xmas Nights contains most of the structurally sound levels and boss fights (save Twin Seeds, which could be considered to be game redeeming).

wait, it does?

I have ...

I have the ship from Galaga as my gamer pic, but so do a million other folks because it's a freebie Sad

wow, your controller came in the box! controllers don't even come in boxes anymore.

at least mine was in mint shape so the analogue stick will last a while.

Coincidentally, I just topped a couple of my high scores this weekend (I don't "fix" the bosses on any dreams - I keep them default). Uh. I'll be sticking around this thread.

(also, I played on ...

Orta emulates fine.

The framerate on the videos are pretty jumpy, and the the sky turned purple during part of the fourth stage, but the game is pretty colorful so it didn't look out of place.

played Bug!

whoa, it's pretty ugly, with the way this version smooths out all the grainy sprites.

it was probably always ugly in its own way, though. I remember playing it when it was new in a ...

crazy bacon lips why are you unwelcome at select button? we need heroes more than ever!

I just beat a game intentionally choosing the "easy" path each time. I used the classic controller.

I kept on wasting bombs because I would set my finger on the wrong button at the start of an ar ...

With the release of Starfox 64, I have to say, IT'S ON NOW.

I have to ask you this: after watching the ending movie... is this the kind of crap we have to look forward to? (sonic wii)

Shaper, believe me, the majority of the plot is charming and told throu ...

Holy hell, Jellyvision rises from the dead (or something). The web version of hte game takes all the multiplayer fun out of it, and they got my least favorite of the hosts to return (although if I rem ...

most of the insanity stuff boiled down to "hey that's neat" for me, but the one I liked the best was the moment that leads you to believe your save game is being deleted. that really, really got me.

engage Dead Rising TATE

wes I just saw this thread and found it pretty quickly. do you still need it?

Dess: although it looks gorgeous on a modern computer, HL2 scales pretty damn well to older PC setups (if that's a concern), and personally I've never had major issues with the wide variety of compute ...

I took a promotion without asking for a raise. (I get slightly better hours and full time status, but the pay still sucks and I've got way more responsibility ;_; )

There were worse than Street Fighter!

sure! the game is just amusing to me in the context of the rest of the franchise.

you gents look like your down for the cause when it comes to playing bad games (in groups). I tried to get people to laugh at the original Street Fighter last night but that only lasted for like a ro ...

The fluid disappeared, this can has never been opened I do not see any holes and the cap seal is still tight, where did it go? have no idea. there is still alittle bit of fluid inside I would say abou ...

Did you ever have the problem of slightly adjusting yourself to get more comfortable and then sonic like backpeddaling and the flow just completly breaking? That was my main problem with it at E3, tha ...

cross posted from sb

I've been trying to find some words to best describe how I feel about this game without coming off as sour. I guess, I'm disappointed because there is/was so much fucking poten ...

the end is funny, if anything! play it with a friend. it's worth the effort, because the game isn't too challenging really.

the whole investigation aspect of the game is totally streamlined/simpli ...

the brief review:

some parts of it are the best Sonic has ever been in 3D. Most of rest is like being dragged through sharp gravel because Sega apparently mandated that certain aspects of recent ga ...

So I just picked up Wii Sonic and have read pieces of the manual so far. It can only get worse from here!
Tell me more!

I totally intend to once I pick up mi Wii from my girlfriend's place later ...

I kinda of want to get Wii Play if only for the extra controller and more Mii action. unsurprisingly both a controller and Wii Play are rare finds here in my piece of California.

So I just picked u ...

I managed to avoid using an FAQ completely until the third case, where I pretty much just said "fuck it!" when the wording/logic of everything got s ...

Metroid . Uh, the one specifically featured in Super Metroid.

once trial two gets going it's pretty fun, though the beginning is pretty URGH.

personally, I like the control just fine, but for me it was the fact that theatrics and were totally removed from the playable bits and shoved into silly cutscenes.

NOOOOOOOOOO
