Homer Thompson Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 With hindsight, the best thing about owning an Atari ST was the seethe from Amiga owners, who blamed the ST for virtually all of the shite games on their machine [emoji14] I see there's still a bit of that going on with my fellow golden-haired Aryan PC brethren, who blame the dirty console mudbloods whenever the latest all-format extravaganza doesn't make their bleeding-edge graphics card cry. Bless.You owned an ST? Still got a "chipped" Dreamcast in storage somewhere. I'd be happy to take it off your hands 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I ended up with that one for about the same price. IIRC, the Megadrive version was OK, but the SNES conversion was an abomination. Pit-Fighter generally gets a bad rap, but I went on an entertaining school trip where we all spent most of our cash on some cafe's arcade cab. Hours spent desperately thrashing the shite out of each other's dodgy digitised avatars 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hours spent desperately thrashing the shite out of each other's dodgy digitised avatars We did both Sega and Nintendo. I had one set my brother had the other (though opposite handhelds)Never saw it for mega drive, it was awful on snes. Which was weird for the time.I remember getting killer instinct and then being blow away by arcade.Same with worms and ps1 version 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Desert Strike? https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/details.php?id=318I remember that one!I was thinking of Thunderhawk, but that might have been the Amiga 500+, not the CD32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naegoodinthedark Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 That's surely Rise of the Robots. So bad that I saw brand-new SNES copies in Woolworths for £2, and decided not to bother Ha ha, that was it!Truly awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert strike was on the 500, not sure it it was ported to the cd32 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I never had a fully chipped PS1. I had some kind of weird system where you started a game with the tray open and it tricked the system into it being the real game. Great times. Think that was called swap magic or something along those lines, have a homebrew original xbox aswell which I believe can be turned into a decent emulator machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im already 40, so give it to me now and I'll give you it back when you get there One of my biggest regrets, certainly in gaming, was getting rid of all my old consoles ETA - seeing as you didnt mention Shenmue, you dont deserve it. You wont be getting it back Edited July 18, 2020 by Mr X 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I've got a collection featuring many of the consoles mentioned lately. They've never been used for anything other than testing games before sale. I mention this purely because of how sad realising this has made me. When did I get so old and boring? I used to be young and...boring 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is, and it's pretty decent, though some heavy edgelord vibes in places. Still, pretty enjoyable. On 18/07/2020 at 14:48, Ludo*1 said: The item management is an absolute chore in that game. No boxes. Ugh, this! I had one room where I left most of the shit. Basically a room was a box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I completed the train section and I'll relate about the item slots, trying to remember where you've dropped something important is a pain but at least you can mark it on the map. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
