Making a smash clone before ultimate dropped was smart. The market was clearly ready for a good platform fighter and Sm4sh was easy to upstage. But now its a lot more questionable. You have to have everything right, gameplay, roster, marketing, and luck to stand a chance.

I’ve been playing Seal of Rimmsala, a romhack of Arcana for SNES. This is the furthest I’ve gotten in a first person dungeon crawler, the auto mapper makes a huge difference. Just finished the second dungeon and about to make my journey into the ice-caves.

Good luck with FF X and X-2! I’m doing the series as well and just started XII.

I love jetmoto! Such a good soundtrack in that game.

I thought the question was building up to a punchline.

I’d say the ZX Spectrum has similar vibes.

I love the pixel art in this and other CD era games

Id think it was a hoax if the footage wasn’t so convincing

I’m lucky enough to live next to a retro game store. I can still walk over see a random ps1 game, glance through the manual and play it at as soon as I get home. Still lots of great stuff out there and that’s just one system. The game I just made a post about only cost me about $10.

I hate the install/download times for new stuff too. I’m hoping for some sci-fi/tech miracle that solves the whole thing.

Ive got a Magnavox Odyssey. Gift from a family member who knew I collected older games. Its a bit older than I can really get into playing but its fun to bring out every now and then.

I watched the first 4 or 5 episodes. I thought it was entertaining and didnt intend to stop, but I just kind of stopped putting it on. I really liked the actor for the main character, he has a talent for physical comedy.

I wanna see that guy eat an apple

Why an archive.org link?

Yes, I agree. Especially 3. Still love them though.

I considered the early Kirby’s but I think youre right. Their low-difficulty is their charm.

Not an unpopular opinion but all of the early Pokémon games could have used a hard mode.

Obscure game but I beat Bugs Bunny Birthday Blowout with more then 30 lives without even trying. Though that’s only one of several issues with that game.

Love gamesack, great youtube channel to deepdive.

Team Buddies is a ton of fun. Here’s a clip of the vs gameplay

Tons of great stuff in this era, I have someones google drive bookmarked that has all the art from a few different systems. It can be frustrating trying to track down which artist did the illustrations though.

This is one of my personal favs

Seems like efficient design. Cords on the back, disc tray on the top with a couple buttons. Really the Gamecube is basically the same thing.
