Bought a bunch of games at a local retrogaming event last week
Way of the Warrior 3DO:I's kind of an infamous game, it doesnt exactly play well but it has a pretty badass Rod Zombie soundtrack. It's an interesting novelty, and that lava pit fatality is still pretty neat. Controls are crap but like I said, it's a novelty game.
Need for Speed 3DO:
The original one! A very impressive game when it was released! It has aged quite a lot but it's still quite playable. Finally owning a copy is pretty cool, I remember playing this endlessly on a demo unit in a mall during that summer where Batman Forever came out with that damn U2 theme song stuck in the head.
Robocop 3 Genesis:Nice chunky genesis graphics, cool sound effects but ruined by it's difficulty level.
Battletoads vs Double Dragon Genesis:Frankly the snes port was superior when it comes to presentation. The gameplay is still there and it's fun, except for the super easy bosses. Still pretty humorous and fun to play.
X-Men Genesis:A popular release, but I just can't get into it at all. I know it's a well liked game but it's not clicking with me. Great graphics, fun soundtrack.. But i'm
about the gameplay. a very hyped game upon release.
Captain America and the avengers Genesis:A big downgrade compared to the arcade version, but the gameplay is still there. The soundtrack is so fucking catchy during boss fights.
Super Star Wars SNES:A classic action platformer, I played this so much back in the days that I would speedrun the entire thing without losing a life. Still fun to play. Great presentation for the snes
Super Return of the jedi SNES:What the fuck. This game is impossible. What happened to the difficulty level? You get assaulted NON STOP by endless enemies, traps, bottomless pits and super hard bosses. I don't get how I completely dominate the first game and I can barely finish the first few levels without losing all my credits. WTF?
TOP GEAR 2 Snes:
Mega classic game of the nineties. Great gameplay, incredible soundtrack, but ugh the terrible framerate is making this game hard to play in 2019.
Killer instinct snes:
Great port back then considering the hardware, the game play was all there. It's Killer instinct!
Killer instinct Gold N64:A strange upgraded port of Killer Instinct 2 arcade. Very decent, fun to play. I can't say anything really bad about it. The soundtrack is pretty epic.
Mortal Kombat Trilogy N64:Secretly my favorite port of MKT. The sound effects are super low quality but there are no loading times. It looks great on the n64 and it's just endlessly playable.
Zombies ate my neighbors SNES:
Super fun coop title. Music is catchy, still very playable.. a classic!
The 7th Saga SNES:
I remember being blown away by the concept back in the days when it was explained to me by a friend. An rpg where you can choose from between 7 characters, team up with them or kill them eventually? There's a wide variety of classes, it's all very j-rpg. I gotta actually spend time with the game but i'm hyped that I can finally get to play it after 25 years
. I've heard the encounter rate is pretty super high tho.
Dragon Force SEGA SATURNHoly fuuuuccck this game is awesome so far. it's a japanese take on Heroes of Might and Magic, but with real time strategy-ish battles. The gameplay seems deep so far, but wow. One of the few games where the hype was worth it. The game is pretty complicated at first, the menu system (and weird traduction, sometimes) makes it more complicated than it should, but wow. One of the best saturn game.
Waku waku 7 sega saturn
Dear God.. What happened? Huge downgrade over the Neogeo version, the audio is super weak, there are CONSTANT LOADING TIMES (3 loading screens before you get to a fight, and another one for every round) and lots of backgrounds are super compressed. It's a shame, as it was one of my favorite quirky game on the MVS. I'm still hunting for a legit copy of the mvs game..
and this completes my rundown of my latest retro purchases.
