We’re beyond that today…
The power glove was essentially a Wiimote. It has a 3 point sensor bar you had to hang on the TV, and used audio signals to get the location. Technology improved & we ended up with the Wiimote and the Kinect, then decided that the motion controls were dumb unless VR was involved and that’s where all the innovation went.
Hotseat multiplayer games are increasingly rare
I sold my OG’s as well, then lucked into a Genesis, Sega CD, and a 32x at a yard sale w/ about 10 games for each for $50.
I ran away smiling!
One of my favorites as well! I’m going to have to break out the Genesis again to get another playthrough
That’s the dream team in 2P- one with a spread & one with a laser. AOE damage and directed high DPS.
Sonic Spinball triggered the Bonus game selection, too
Organizing my downloads has been on my to do list for… Four, I think? Yeah, four… phones…
Kickle Cubicle was high on my list of “was that game hard AF or was I just a kid”
I’m pleased to say that as an adult, I did a hell of a lot better at that game!
…fuck everything about Milon’s Secret Castle, though…
an add every 5-10min that lasts from 5-40s. Who the hell can actually enjoy a movie or a TV show in these conditions?
Everything comes full circle…
As a kid watching TV, about 30% of the runtime of a show was commercials. Us old people are used to that kind of advertising presence, hell, people used to watch the Super Bowl specifically for the commercials!
Not saying it’s a good thing, just saying that the corporate CEOs of today grew up with it, so it’s “normal” to them.
1st played on GameBoy, got gud because I had nonother games.
Tetris & Dr. Mario on SNES gave me a chance to beat my main competition in my friend group pretty consistently.
Tetris on N64 w/ the 4x4 square building was life altering… Still my favorite “new” Tetris gimmick.
Tetris 99 on Switch brought back all the old memories, and sucked me back in for quite awhile.
If you dump a game cartridge, Nintendo can kill your wife.
Jurassic Park released in 1993. 31 years ago…
Pablo Sanchez is OP.
How do I volunteer as tribute?
Supergiant consistently releases bangers.
I still want a Transistor 2.
I forgot the wonderful MegaMan battle network series. I think there’s 6 or 7 GBA games in the series
It was a release game! It’s amazing to me how many people don’t know about it.
Seconding the Castlevania recommendations, and adding Chu Chu Rocket. Technically a Dreamcast game, but the GBA port added thousands of user created levels for an extensive amount of added gameplay.
I still have my copy of Mister Mosquito for PS2. Full Japanese weirdness with a unique method of delivery.
Fun to bring out around people who’ve never heard of it to see their reactions.
Seconded! It’s about time for me to break out the GameCube again…
Someone mentioned Baiten Kaitos not to long ago and that almost made me dig it out.
