Interestingly enough I have Street Fighter The Movie The Game for my Sega Saturn, and while it is certainly uglier looking than the SFII games of the time, IMO it doesn’t play badly at all. To me it plays as well as the SFII games of the time. And I found it interesting that SFTMTG Arcade is ranked higher than the…

Maybe, the even though I have over 1,000 games on Steam, nearly all of them were either dramatically on sale, or from bundle deals. I almost never buy full price games. Same with Epic. Well, to be honest with Epic I actually rarely buy the games, since I get most of them free if I wait long enough :)

I have this for the Atari 7800, and believe me, using the standard American knuckle-buster controller is definitely NOT the best way to play Karateka.

In Ohio 8,500 people would make that a small city, not a town. The place I grew up in (Groveport) had around 2,000 people back in the ‘70s and was largely a farming village. As of the 2010 Census, it is now classified as a small city. And all the farms that used to surround the place? Sold out to warehouses and…

Back before there wasn’t a set format for vinyl, you had Edison’s cylinder records. They would give you a munificent 2 minutes of recording time, and to my recollection there is no easy way to record them, unless you stick a recording device to the speaker (I actually used to do something similar in the very late…

And judging from the fact that of my literally hundreds of physical games, some dating back to the mid-1970s, and a good 95% of them play with no problem, that shelf life can last quite a while.

And a large part of silent movies were wiped out due to a 1937 vault fire. London After Midnight, a 1927 movie starring Lon Chaney is symbolic of the films that simply disappeared in that fire. Unless someone digs up a copy that miraculously survived the vagaries of time in some cold, dark location, pictures of stills…

I have to say I am tempted to get a Series S given it’s price point, but I wanted the optical drive and 4k capabilities. Now that I have the X1X, I may go ahead and get a Series S. 

To be honest, I haven’t seen much in the way of compelling content (at least, to me). Plus, $300 less.

The funny thing about all this, is that if Microsoft is right in their speculation of a PS 5 Slim at the $399 price point, it will likely push me to buy one. I just bought a used Xbox One X for just under $200 to replace my original XB1 a couple weeks ago, and neither new system has anything that is especially…

And yet the gnat still makes noises :)

Try again, kid. I mean, how can one be “soulless” AND a “whin(e)y reactionary dork”? If you’re going to insult me, at least have enough life experience to do so correctly.

Just played through Parasoul’s story (that’s where the so-called Nazi imagery would be), and yes, they indeed removed all the armbands from her and her Black Egrets. If you look at the image galleries, videos and designs and such, they removed them there, too.

Oh yeah, Kid Rock the Detroit redneck :)

I’ve had this game since at least 2012 I recall, and I enjoy it for the crazy fighting, the stories (yes, the stories) and the well-created art. As long as the game engine isn’t messed with, that’s fine. But I’m pretty sure this has little to do with Marvel vs Capcom style-wise, and I always got the idea the game was…

G’wan, tell me how you really feel :) As for “games in boxes, I have a good 500 or more in boxes, so what’s the problem again?

Totally agree with the legal/illegal question. If a game is out there and hasn’t been available legally for so long, you should be able to get it by other means. Unfortunately some companies (coughnintendocough) is especially litigation-happy when it comes to even ancient IPs they seemingly will never use. Something…

Aside from the tired “tehcapitalizmisevilyawn” stuff, another big problem I see are games that are ONLY released digitally, with no physical release. I have a number of these, mostly small releases, for my Xbox 360. An example of those is Afterburner Climax, an excellent arcade shooter I was lucky enough to play in…

When I was a wee lad in the 60s, we had a phrase that would describe that attitude....”Cutting off your Nose to Spite your Face.”

I have a number of games on my phone, but they are largely just ports of console games (Lunar SSS, Castlevania SotN, Vay, Skullgirls, etc), and to be honest I never got used to touch controls...so I never really play them. I mostly do my gaming on PC, or consoles.
