I had the SNES game. Good fun but nothing special. Although SNES had some of the best platformers ever so...

Rocket Knight Adventures (the best in the series by far), was amazing and wasn't on SNES.

You're probably thinking of Sparkster, which was OK but like you say nothing special.

I was browsing the sale pages and came across this game I hadn't heard of from the devs who made Vampyr. Looks like it might be interesting for folks interested in a 3rd person story-centric game.

Yeah, I'm sure it's a perfect game for Codex.

Guys did you see this? Somewhat exciting since any 20-year-old trash is instantly better than anything released these days. Plus Aspyr!! What can go wrong?

Played it on PS2. It was pretty meh then and I can't imagine it's aged well. YMMV

Thinking of dropping 5 monies on Ghost Recon breakpoint. I've wanted it for ages and it seems dumb enough fun for the price. I know Triple A gaming is dead but I miss when you would pick up older titles for dirt cheap, discover you enjoy the series and play through the rest. Now you just get Ubisoft's old catalog you feel dirty buying or 20% off something you wouldn't pay half of that for.

PS2 was inferior version by far. 30 FPS over GCN's 60 FPS. The real issue was how you couldn't really tell if an enemy had a bounty quickly, and many otherwise normal looking enemies had bounties. This was an issue because the dead or alive status was permanent.

I don't recall that being a problem. The bigger issue was that it was just a pretty average TPS style thing with a Jango Fett skin. Meh/10.

Space Harrier fans may enjoy this...



just trying it now, and it's a bit slow for my tastes, but the music is awesome. They've basically ripped Queen's vocal harmonies off, but it works great.

I can't get past the last level in Santa Monica. Why is it so hard

edit: I got it after exploiting the AI but it sent me to the Osaka ending screen. Might be because it glitched and gave me a blank dialogue prompt and I reloaded the page. I did it again and got sent to Santa Monica. I might be the person that played this the longest now other than the dev.

Devs. It takes a village to make a black girl game

And you probably played more than all of them combined.

what in the world...?

 

[Unkillable Cat]

At least this game is straight-up honest about the fact that it's ripping off System Shock, assets and all.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

A pretty decent FTL-like game.
