I actually have Lumines on PSP, Lumines Plus on PS2 and the new PS3 version as well for online play. I'm certainly hooked, thanks to yr (constant) suggestion! :)

why do I even bother?

exactly.

Yeah, but isn't the Wii version a sequel? I kinda wanted to see what else Saturn had going for it. Lots of shooters, I figure.




Awesome! :D

back to LACK OF LOVE. god this game kills me.

it gives you no real indication of what to do. you just kinda do things and you evolve. it's almost like METROID meets SPORE meets E.V.O. or something. you can only access certain areas once you "become" something, accomplish specific tasks. it starts off bizarre and dark, almost like OUT OF THIS WORLD/ANOTHER WORLD -- atmospheric and non-handholding. just.. here ya go. do some shit. And once you do, once you fuck around, and you become new.. things.. it's so fucking rewarding. I love it so much.

gonna go ahead and let you know the u.s. selection of saturn games SUCKS ASS.

however, the japanese version is incredible and why i got a saturn, to play burns on.

just to get PANZER DRAGOON SAGA and PRINCESS CROWN (Odin Sphere prequel) is worth it. also, the BEYOND OASIS sequel, LEGEND OF OASIS (beyond oasis is pretty much by far my favorite Genesis game, if not my favorite game of the 16-bit era, period, aside from Super Metroid and Super Turrican 2 and R2: Rendering Ranger... all incredible experiences... can't forget Gunstar Heroes!).

I just made it through RETROGAMER COLLECTION VOLUME 5. 300 pages of classic games. So awesome. I never knew for sure, but the Genesis did, in fact, "Beat" the SNES, barely, in sales. I've always thought Genesis was cooler, had MORE great games, but the SNES had 5 of the best games ever:

DEMON'S CREST
RUN SABER
SKYBLAZER
and the aformentioned turricans/r2 obviously but also: TETRIS ATTACK

and my favorite game of all time (next to XENOGEARS) SUPER METROID.

So it's really hard for me to choose. I would edge out the Genesis as a better system for me since it has like 100 -- literally -- shmups, I jerk off to Sega, and it has the best game music ever. Streets of Rage 3 sountrack, I mean come on, it's STILL ahead of its time. Also, CONTRA HARD CORPS is the best Contra game ever. BLOODLINES is the best Castlevania game (NOT including Metroidvania style games btw). VECTORMAN, PULSEMAN, etc etc. So many clasics. Fuck.

16-bit really was the golden age of gaming.

LACK OF LOVE - Yeah, I've been really interested in this... I could've sworn I mentioned it to you way back when, after seeing some videos online, but still haven't played it myself. My CD drive is busted so I can't burn more games, but I most definitely plan on importing this soon.

SATURN - Ah yes, Panzer Dragoon. I've only played the one on XBOX (Panzer Dragoon Orta)... but MAAAANN, DID I LOVE THAT GAME TO DEATH.

I actually have an O.G. XBOX, to replace my broken one, that I traded some dude my spare NES toploader for online, but lucky for me (sarcasm) USPS lost it transferring it between sorting facilities. Just my luck. I don't know if I'll ever see it.

I just wanna play GUNVALKYRIE again....now that's a fun SEGA game. :D I'd hoard original XBOX units just to ensure that game never left my life again. It's incredible.

Also, now I need to look into...

Beyond Oasis
Demon's Crest
Run Saber
and Skyblazer

Hell, I haven't even played Tetris Attack yet.

ALSO (and this is very important - hence the bold) WHERE DID YOU FIND YOUR RETRO GAMER COLLECTION BOOKS? I ONLY SEE VOL 3 ON AMAZON AND IT'S $70+

Thank you, and good night.

ebay, $38 us. but that's vol 5. 1-4 go for like $400 a piece now or some shit.

Tetris Attack is one of the best. All those games mentioned are incredible. But if you can find someone to play Tetris Attack with.. it's BY FAR the best 2-player experience you'll ever have, my friend.

Jesus...

Got home from work early. So now I"m gonna jump on SVC Chaos.

Beat Metal Slug 2 today.

^Battle Colleseum is pretty good. Yeah.

Just started this the other day. I haven't gotten promoted past patrolman yet, so I haven't really seen much of the investigating/interrogating shit I guess you get to do later on. Seems cool though. I like the setting a lot; seedy underbelly of post-WWII LA.
