BFTD Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 The price of video cards and processors the now. Admittedly there may have been worse things to have happened during the pandemic, but I'm struggling to think of any. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or being able to push a player and normally (but not always!) get a red with it. L2 L2! Has there ever been one? I've been consistent EA cash cow since 2004 and I don't think any game since then has had diving as a feature, I played PES a handful of times and you could dive on that at the time. Can't remember the pushing either tbf though. I miss when they let you slide tackle the oppositions keeper for a straight red also if you timed it perfectly you used to be able to slide tackle the keeper as he kicks it out his hands because for a split second on the animation he technically has his foot on the ball and the game didn't give a shit that this isn't a thing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, back on RTTWC Fifa 98 you could dive if you tapped L2 twice. If you were close enough to an opposition player, if you tapped it once you pushed them over. I also remember the sliding on the keeper! Much fun to be had with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Football had a dive button as well, right? There was almost definitely a FIFA I'm sure where you could be offside in your own half as well. Maybe like 2006 or something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also had 2 footed lunge/assault, which was tremendous! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) Trying to remember which old football game had the option to punch other players. I think you could deck the ref too.

54_and_counting Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 An early version of fifa allowed you to stand in front of the keeper as he was going to kick it out, it literally hit your player and stuck to you and the keeper never moved, easy tap in Sure it was fifa, maybe one of the early mega drive ones that had the weird as f**k angle of view 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the first proper 3D ones. I used to try to avoid doing it as it obviously made the game pointless, but if I was losing with minutes to go, and the keeper had the ball... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing too bad but the price of some of them is ridiculous. A commodore 64 is going to set me back about £150 It's not just the computers themselves but also the components which are dying off due to age. Some of the components were bespoke/custom and or no longer made so have a premium in the aftermarket. Not to mention the more in demand components have fakes out in the market. For something like the Commodore 64 SID chip you are better off with an FPGA implementation of the SID vs buying the real thing. FPGA solutions are only going to continue to increase in popularity both for individual components & systems as a whole.

I occasionally remember when Atari pulled out of the video game market and retailers were selling off Jaguar bundles for £20 with one of each of the games they had in stock. Looks like you can get £500-£1,000 just for the console now. There's bound to have been some rich fucker with spare warehouse space who snapped them all up and thought, "see you in twenty-five years, retirement fund". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
