Retr0gamer · 01-10-2011 6:15pm

Ugh

Had to play Killzone 2 and Halo 3 with my cousin today. I feel dirty from too much bland.

Time to take a break with something good, Xenoblade Chronicles.

I have been known to turn on bullet hell shooters when my cousins are over. I've drilled them well in the area of Japan WTF?

Plus Rock Band. Nothing like six plus person Rock Band

Well Killzone 2 is the only shameful one. Halo 3 is alright but it was hard to play it again. Next time it's katamari :P

The chick in the tub on the far right is Roberta Williams. As in the games designer behind King's Quest and Phantasmagoria.

Retr0gamer · 03-10-2011 4:10pm

You only heard about that game now? Shane Battenhausen from 1up and retronauts had a very unhealthy obsession with Roberta Williams and it came up a lot. He also had a very unhealthy obsession with Rieko Kodama of Phantasy Star and skies of arcadia fame.

o1s1n · 03-10-2011 8:29pm

Argh, came home this evening, booted up my netbook and it kept switching itself off. Either a power issue or it's overheating. I tried reseating everything, taking the fan out and giving it a clean, nothing seems to work...well, the fan wasn't working previously as it was caked in dust. Now it is. So it pretty much points to overheating. That didn't seem to solve the issue.

I have another NC10 with a broken LCD. So I've basically spent the evening trying to put one Frankenstein's monster working netbook together from two broken ones just to back up all my stuff.

And do you know why it's particularly annoying? I spent the day in work really looking forward to coming home and playing Xenoblade!

CiDeRmAn · 03-10-2011 8:47pm

It's not because of too much porn is it?

Did that come out on TG16? I was looking at getting the PC Engine version but seeing it's a digital comic it seems a bit redundant to go NTSC-J this time around.

Here's an interesting video though:

Retr0gamer · 03-10-2011 11:28pm

The Mega-CD version is seen as the definitive version since it has the third act although I thought the third act was crap and prefer how the other versions end. The only way of playing the other versions is to get a fan translation, not sure if any are complete.

So it appears. It also appears to be eleventythousand pounds on eBay.

LoL used to be 80. You try the PAL version? Think it sold better than the US version which sound SFA

Pyongyang · 03-10-2011 11:44pm

Nope, I don't have a Sega CD. If I did I'd end up buying these instead:

Bit weird that you don't own a Mega-CD considering the shooting classics Keio Flying Squadron and Robo Aleste are onit

I've never really taken the Mega Drive or Mega CD in to consideration before. Maybe because I had the SNES when I was a pup.

Future purchases one day for sure. Opens up vast, wallet damaging libraries though. Not good! I'm happy out on Saturn and PC Engine for now.

Retr0gamer · 04-10-2011 1:10am

Everyone knows the Megadrive had the better shmups than the SNES

Less slowdown and more mayhem thanks to the MD's faster processor! The SNES would have melted trying to play MUSHA!

CiDeRmAn · 04-10-2011 8:01am

Oh, I have Keio Flying Squadron, hmm, may sell it on fleabay, need to make fundage for an ipad for the wife

Ah man, you're doing yourself a disservice by neglecting the Megadrive shmup library. It's absolutely fantastic. Pisses all over the Snes one.

Only a tiny handful of titles are wallet damaging (Eliminate Down, Gleylancer, Slap Fight and the US version of MUSHA. Seem to be able to get the JP one cheapish). The rest are all very reasonable. It would be a much cheaper selection of games to get than the Saturn library.

If there was an 'Oisin's scale of health warnings', and candy cabs were at the excessive drinking/gambling/class A drug taking end, this suggestion would be the equivalent of eating a fry once a week. Megadrive collecting has to be one of the cheapest out there.

It's a pain it's so expensive alright! From what I remember reading about it, it's a genuinely rare game. Aren't too many copies floating about.

Ouch! I remember it going for about €100. Either it's really taken off in price or someine is taking the piss -

Best thing about MD collecting, plastic clamshells meaning it's easier to get games complete and boxed.

Still a shocking amount of loose carts out there though. Who ever thought of throwing away a plastic case?!
