I recall Rare Replay is discounted to $7.49. Not only do you get most of Rare’s output since 1983, including Conker you also get Goldeneye. I bought a copy during the last sale even though I own it physically, but for some reason the only way to get Goldeneye on Xbox is if you have a digital copy.

I’ve heard the claim that SMB2 (The Lost Levels) wasn’t initially sold in the US because it was “too difficult”. I’ve also heard the (more likely) claim that Nintendo America thought it was too similar to the first game, which is why we got the (much better) SMB2 based on Doki Doki Panic.

It was inevitable, but still.....guess I’ll watch reruns.

Yes, many PC games from say, the early 2000s on up needed patches or got additional DLC that required a download. Most before that (when people were still on dial-up) didn’t require those things (or at most, a very minimal download).

I remember when Electronics Boutique and Funcoland were cool places to hang out. That slowly began to change with the purchases of both to all become Gamestops, and first the PC games started decreasing and is now gone (very few are even physical now), then the increase in toys and junk and now, I go into one and see…

And Interplay’s 10 Year Anthology? Just smiles.

Wow...that boy needed to get out in the sun more. Perhaps making little ones out of big ones will give him the chance...and I DON’T mean, “In Minecraft” :)

Well, Jirard IS The Completionist, after all :)

While no first-party Nintendo games are on sale currently (and probably won’t be, sadly), on both Wii U and 3/2DS, until the end, Capcom has most or all of their offerings on both consoles for $2.99 each (including the Ace Attorney series, the Wii version of Resident Evil 4, the Monster Hunter series and much more.…

I’ve been gaming since the 1970s, and first started hearing about JRPGs by that name in the early 1990s. I’d never heard anyone deride JRPGs simply because of their origin back then. After all, if it weren’t for Western RPGs (principally Ultima and Wizardry) in the 1980s, we wouldn’t have games like Final Fantasy and…

I’d have loved to have played a sit-down cab of the original Star Wars game, back in the day. The only Star Wars game I got to do that with was Star Wars Arcade, at the old Akiba Arcade that was at a mall several miles from me. They closed soon after the pandemic started, and the mall itself closed at the end of last…

I remember reading about his habit of having a truck at his movie shoots filled with his arcade games, some years back. I could imagine him having an original Star Wars cab in there somewhere (that game was a blast to play, back in the day; I even played it in a local department store in the 1980s).

I grew up in a small farming community (as in, a village of around 1k people surrounded by farmland) in the 60s and 70s. Not really interested in playing games based on that life.

Yeah, if that murderer Putin’s government has its bloody fingers on this game, then no dice.

Well, with tourists (the arcades’ bread and butter from what I hear) finally coming back to Japan, Bandai-Namco struck at the right time. Many places closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

IMO the first two Arkham games are some of the best action games out there, and rank as my favorites. Arkham Origins was an excellent game, marred with the glitches that were never fixed (the worst for me was on PC, where the opening fight with Killer Croc was hampered by the screen disappearing except for the HUD).

I’m probably more interested in Truxton (had the Genesis version back in the day)...but probably not as much as this fellow :)

I actually own Martin...but on VHS (yes, I have two VHS players) :)

Yeah, and Sega probably wouldn’t want to do that, since the original only sold a few thousand copies for a dying console (as much as I love the Saturn, that was indisputably true).

I had to agree with the others that I’d want to see a Skies of Arcadia remake/remaster/sequel. But I’d include a remastered or remade version of Panzer Dragoon Saga (unlikely, I know) that originally and ONLY appeared for the Sega Saturn. Oh, and also a Switch version of the first two Lunar games. The first Lunar has…
