Oh jeez, I got rid of several old boxed OSes, this was one of them.
Bonus Pak and all. Just bonkers.

Genesis is amazing. I never skip that OP.
Great dance piece.

Exactly my thought. Not enough texture swim for PS1, and the squared-off model style for the hand and such is very much a signature Saturn look.
This would *suck* with the controller though, even the 3D controller.
It’d have to support the Netlink Mouse.

I’ve not played all of these, and while my favorite is at #8, I’d probably say it’s a fair ranking.

Played so much Columns as a kid, sometimes I’d just listen to the music, and this is one of the best tunes.

With sprite work by the great Paul Robertson.

So basically, screw the people who can’t stand the Crucible?
Go figure.

the VERY first thing that came to mind.
I couldn’t stand Blitzball, though. This actually looks like it could be fun. Like playing basketball, with tabletop RPG-style strategy.

IIRC, that scorpion was modeled by Stjepan Sejic, of Witchblade/Aphrodite IX/Ravine/Sunstone/Rat Queens/Death Vigil fame.
He did a bunch of modeling work for SS3. I bought it just because he worked on it.

...and yeah, the game sucks.

And this is how you subvert even the best technological location security measures.
Once you’re in, it’s assumed you belong there, so nobody questions your presence.

We call this the “Tootsie Pop” security model here at work. Hard candy shell, nice soft insides.

Agreed. The best thing about it is that it doesn’t really try to *be* a Sonic game either. The mechanics are both intimately familiar, yet new and fresh.
I’d pay good money for a Genesis/Megadrive port. It could almost be done with a romhack.

No Floyd, I don’t want to play hucka-bucka-beanstalk.

Well that’s just terrifying.

Crackle, last I checked.

Not bilinear filtering, it has nearest-neighbor point filtering.
So basically nope.

Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance series (and pretty much every other Snowblind engine game, such as Champions of Norrath).
In 2-player mode, you can load a second character at any point from a saved game.
So one character dumps all their gear, the other picks it up, reload the first character.
Rinse, repeat, buy the most…

It looks more like Gravity Rush, gameplay-wise.
This is not a bad thing. I absolutely adored GR.

Power. Freaking. Glove.

FUCK. YES.
I have been waiting for this since day one.

I finished this a couple of weeks ago and it was amazing.
Now, it’s even more amazing.
