It's also not a lot of fun.

Thought it would be a follow up to super turrican 2. But what it is is a bad euro shooter that is worse than any of the turrican games.

Rendering Ranger R2 is outrageous....I'd never heard of it before seeing it in the below video. Absolute voodoo coding :eek:

Rendering Ranger R2 looks amazing! I dont think I've ever come across that one.

It was stupidly expensive when I went to buy it about ten years ago so I'd say you'll need a mortgage now!

Yeah, just had a look around. Seems to be about €800 cart only, €1500+ complete :eek:

Ouch!

It's incredible what the coder managed to do with it, and hard to believe it's running on a Snes.

You would all love Elusive stuff over here, make some new beers too

Hmm,

Anyone know if Metal Slug XX is worth a punt if you've already played 7 on the DS?

Finally, these games can shine for the.... perfectly acceptable slices of mediocrity that they are.

Speaking of Zelda games, I gave my missus A Link Between Worlds to play last weekend as I thought she might like it. She hasn't played a Zelda game since Link's Awakening when she was a kid.

Played it for 10 hours on Saturday and 9 hours on Sunday. :eek: Almost got through the whole game. I felt like a proper videogame widower!

Is now asking me for something else to play, I have suggested Luigi's Mansion 2... will see how it goes!

I thought it would be cool to play through Triforce Heroes but I see you can't play it two player, such a shame.

Hey, it's not my fault you are a Zelda CDi scrub that couldn't master the complex mechanicals of the glorious CDi joypad or Zelda CDi's complex RNG enemy spawning.

I really need to play a link between worlds. I heard it's incredible. I'll have to dig it out of the attic next time I'm home in the parents but it's currently under lockdown!

It's very enjoyable. Back in the halcyon days of Zelda games having actual dungeons...

You mean to tell me you've spent the last seven years playing Shin Megami Tensei extra Obscure Otaku Version and Tokyo Pigeon Sexy Dating Game Simulator but you haven't gone near A Link Between Worlds?? :eek:

Retr0gamer · 26-09-2020 1:29am

Well saying that... I've not beaten Shin Megami Tensei 4 Apocalypse either.

Anyway, come back to me when you have 96 exits in super mario world :P

May have posted about this ages ago but popped into my head again lately for no reason whatsover.

Trying to remember the name of an arcade game I played during mid 90's. It was a side scrolling beat em up of sorts but more like Altered Beast than Streets of Rage. I think you start as a wizard or a sage like character and have just a simple weapon and you walk along dispatching enemies, when you come to the end of the first level I think you dropped down into an underground sort of level and carried on. It wasn't great or anything, just can't remember the name or all that much else about it.

Or maybe metamorphic force which is like an updated altered beast

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6qSfVutq6Y

Check out the music on the first level, proper metal riffs and very catchy. Level 5 music is cool too, colosseum.

Magician Lord?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUzBShH7aRY

Just a couple guesses anyway

None of those unfortunately, althought the first two look great. Gonna check them out further.

The one I'm thinking of is a 2D sort of side scroller, unlike Streets of Rage you couldn't go up and down the background, just left or right.

Edit: Wow. After watching the video of the Dungeons and Dragons one on youtube there was recommendations on the side, I clicked on one that looked vaguely similar.......and it was it!! It was called 'Cadash'. That's done my head in for years trying to remember it :P.

If anyone is after a box that will allow HDMI gaming streaming to online services (yea know, like the youth do), I might have one to sell

A&R discount of course will be given.
Didn't think it was retro enough for market place.

Mr.Saturn · 05-10-2020 10:00am

Anyone around Dublin that'll still repair a PS3 by any chance?

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy · 07-10-2020 8:21pm

Might need a new ps2 controller, friends giving me lend of one to test, was trying to stream and one of the buttons kept pressing on it's own.

Any recommendations on where to get one?

I'm still happily using a cheap Chinese wireless PS2 controller I picked up last year that's far better than it has any right to be.

Think it was one of these;
