Re: Poll: Vote For Your Favourite GameCube Games

The game I played through the most times was Eternal Darkness. So sad there was no sequel.

Was a little disappointed of Wave Race Blue Storm, while I loved Wave Race 64 where I had a long time competition with my sister

Had much fun with Gauntlet and with Smuggler‘s Run
Beach Spikers was great, too, despite I don‘t like sports games very much
And V-Rally 3. The first realistic rally game I played.
Soo many great games on this machine...

Re: Nightdive Studios CEO Says Shadow Man On Switch "Is Possible"

I really liked that game. Bought it twice on N64 and Dreamcast.
Had some trouble with the English speech that days, but the German version (which was fully dubbed with very good voice actors) was censored unfortunately. The missing blood destroyed the scary athmosphere, but more silly was you could not kill the enemies, just stun them, so the German game was much harder...

Re: Hyperkin's Next Party Trick Is A Nintendo 64 Clone

@bluezbro then maybe you are very lucky with your TV. Most flat screens cannot show N64‘s standard resolution of 240p/288p, they render it as it is 480i, and that (interlaced instead of progressive) is unfortunately a very visible loss in quality.

@impurekind N64 had no RGB, but the SCART adapter had a much better picture as composit because of using S-Video (same cable as for SNES)
RGB output seems to been planned by Nintendo, but they didn‘t finished it. French consoles of the first batch have some parts in them, so that they can be finished with RGB output; so as written before, RGB just with modded consoles.

@Paraka
„Don't plants have all the equipment to be considered both "sexes" anyway?“
Not necessarily, kiwi plants for example are either male or female.

„This is awesome i love him in The Little Shop Of Horrors.“
Well, Audrey2 is a „mean green MOTHER from outer space“, despite of a more male voice, but nevertheless, it‘s a really great film! Have the vinyl somewhere, should hear it again.

@Sandro89
What‘s your problem? Just because someone tell‘s an „it“ a „she“, after it was told a „he“ twice he/she propagates feminist bs? Just ignore it, but don‘t fill the comments with anti-feminism bs, please.

Re: Saboteur! And Its Sequel Receiving A Physical Makeover On Nintendo Switch

@Gerald Well, I was a little ironic, I know every system has its strenghts. But as you mentioned, there are games showing what really was possible at the CPC, but there also are so many loveless ports, especially the many speccy ports because of their similar hardware, which may be great at the Spectrum, but are slower at the CPC and additionally often uglier than on the C64.
I also loved some of that Mastertronic games, and they where cheap enough for a pupil.

You should take a look at some of the newest games released the last few years. For example the winner of this years CPCRetroDev competition „Operation Alexandra“ is really great! And I hope the port of „Pinball Dreams“ will be finished soon, the playable demo is phenomenal.

Re: Review: Diablo III: Eternal Collection - More Loot Than You Can Shake A Magical Pointy Stick At

My game arrived today. Haven‘t played it yet, but am a little disapointed about the package. I know, manuals are oldschool, and also the PS3 version just had an info card about the controls. But the switch package doesn‘t even have a nice picture at the inside! My computer version had a (so called) short(!) manual of 34 pages with stories, maps and descriptions of the hero classes! Diablo 2 had even more pages and I really don‘t know, how often I read it.
The game doesn‘t deserve such lovelessness...

Re: Zen Studios Under Fire For Censorship In Pinball FX3, Explains It Was To Keep Game "Family-Friendly"

vanYth

Especially the censored animations at the display of Medieval Madness are really annoying.

They even changed the cabinet flyers, so this is a kind of faking history – despite this is not the end of the world this is really questionable.

Zen uses licenses of Doom, Skyrim, Walking Dead, Jaws and Aliens, but wants to be family friendly? This must be a joke...

Give us the uncensored tables! The excuses are ridiculous!

Re: Random: Banjo-Kazooie And Conker Are Being Added To The Totaku Collection

vanYth

Oh no, Conker as soldier?
Banjo & Kazooie look nice (if the quality is right)

As written before Totakus often look cheap, not as good as Amiibos. Ryu for example is painted in semi-gloss all over resulting in an oily beige suit, just terrible. They are far too expensive for the quality.
I only own one Totaku, a Lemming. It looks OK (even if the paint is a little sloppy and has some fluff) and was reduced to 10€... and is a lemming

@The_ghostmen my lemming has got no metal but a plastic base

Re: Review: Fox n Forests (Switch eShop)

vanYth

Game is now at 9,99€ at the European Store without being marked as a discount, so it seems this is a new regular price.
Played the spring world and that far really enjoyed it as an old amiga gamer.
