StarTropics is a cool game I never finished. I picked this up for a reduced price after the Super Nintendo was launched and NES games were marked down signifigantly. I believe I never finished it because the graphics were not quite as good as the SNES RPG's that I was used to, like Final Fantasy 2, 3 and Secret of Mana. All told the game isn't in the category of square's "golden SNES catalog" but it was fun.

It was a quirky story and a unique backdrop as you were on a island and the characters and enemies had an island flavor. Still haven't seen much that has reminded me of this setting in recent memory. Its on my bucket list of games to return to and figure out if its a... Read All

Mario All-Stars May Be The Best Game Cart Ever.

http://media.nintendo.com/nintendo/bin/KIXfK5Jg9lJrscFJmuyV_NH6eE_7i3jS/ISF4ETU5TyKHOMd7dYdBo6ZXeaDQR28C.jpg

I have had many conversations with my friends about the "best video game cart of all time". Not the best game of all time, the best cart. The original Zelda is tossed around, The Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, Goldeneye, and Sonic. Super Mario All Stars generally wins because it has such an amazing line up. Its not just that it has Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3 & The Lost Levels... But that it adds things like saving whenever you want AND upgraded the graphics for the Super Nintendo.

For certain games like Super Mario Brothers 3 the save feature means the difference between warping directly to the end all the time and being able to play... Read All

Yes it is on the list. And now it can be talked about. This game has taken me away from WoW in a very positive way. I like the Bioware spin too an MMO. They stated in the beginning that they were not going to reinvent the wheel but give their take on what an MMO should be. This gave people the impression of another Rift style WoW clone. But they have taken the game to a unique level and I am having a great time in TOR. They are always improving the game and sometimes those changes cut into peak game time but I am finding it well worth it.

Awesome. I've heard great things about it and that it's some people's favorite game of 2012 and the year just started :)

I'm kinda glad my laptop sucks and I'm not able to play it ;)

Looks pretty sweet though!

Timogorgon Member wrote on 02/02/2012 at 12:47am

lol, that's the same reason I can't play it. It won't run on my desktop. It's probably for the best. I don't really have the time to invest in a new MMO addiction. The game is pretty awesome though. I've never played an MMO before that made me consider my character more than just an avatar. In the 4 years I played FFXI all I can really tell you about my character is that he was a kick ass Samurai. In the 3 weekends I beta tested Star Wars: TOR I can tell you my Bounty Hunter was, deep down, actually not that bad a guy. However, he was a true mercenary who would take any job and was bound to a strict honor code to finish the job no matter what and no matter who stood in his way. I actually found myself choosing dialogue options not based on which I thought would get me better rewards, but which seemed appropriate to the character I'd created. :)

That is way too cool sounding.

Tonight I Played online w @WhiteboySlim and his friends. I was the lowest level and gained 5 levels in an hour and some change. Finally maxed out my money to the point that a death costs 4 million.

Since we had four players the bad guys were really hard. One bullet practically killed me so I took i got a few shots off, mostly behind cover.

Very fun.

This awesome Mega Drive game(please note that allthough it says Genesis up top, it was never released in the states, therefore it is not on the Genesis, it was released in Japan only for the Mega Drive) is worth every penny. I got mine for a sweet SWEET deal at only $80 while it seems to regularly sell for more than $150+. The opening scene with the bullets dropping to the ground is just cool. As you play the game you will notice that it has lots and lots of cool beautiful colors that run together very smoothly much better than the 1st game in the series IMO. The weapon power ups are rad and are plentiful and you can choose from a variety of different guns to use at the... Read All

Is it in Japanese or English?

Its in Japanese but since it's a sh'mup you really dont need to know Japanese.

That looks really rad.

It is, one of my favorite Mega Drive s'hmups. Music is really good and the colors and graphics are just all kinds of 16 bit awesome.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/31/2012 at 11:44pm

Cool, from the video it seems like the game has some personality. I liked the Chineese Dragon that for some reason was over police cars? :)

Jason_Diaz Post Author wrote on 02/02/2012 at 03:48am

Yeah it does in deed have personality, that's what I love about Japanese games, they can often be very weird and quirky and believe me there are some weird ones out there.

Jason_Diaz Post Author wrote on 02/02/2012 at 03:49am

Such as Cho Aniki lmao! That is just one weird series. There is definetly a reason those ones never came to the states lol.

This game is for Sega Saturn, NOT the Genesis, why does it say Genesis?

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/31/2012 at 04:08am

Hmmm, interesting, thats a bug, ill look into it.

Jason_Diaz Post Author wrote on 01/31/2012 at 04:31am

Coolness, a few other things to look into, system seems to not be letting me put in games I own that are the same but on a different platform, for example Chrono Trigger, I own on PS1, NDS, and SNES. I also noticed that it's not letting me put in anything for Turbo Duo (Dungeon Explorer II for example) and also Dungeon Explorer on Sega CD which is actually part 3 in the series but since I added it on for Turbo Grafx 16 it wont let me put the Sega CD version which is an entirely different game being the 3rd one in the series.

jdodson Admin wrote on 01/31/2012 at 05:48am

Thanks for the feedback, adding it all to my list.

Right now you can only have one platform to a game at this point. Adding multiple platforms something I want to do. No Turbo Duo as a platform yet, ill see about adding it in.

Jason_Diaz Post Author wrote on 01/31/2012 at 06:53am

Coolness, yeah Turbo CD and Turbo Duo would be rad since technically they are part of the Turbo Grafx library.

True story: this game is actually what got my brother-in-law to actually like me. Before we bonded over video games I'm pretty sure he just saw me as some guy who married his sister. :P

That's awesome! Video Games for Bonding! I demand a PSA from the govt about this. :)

The Fable games are amazing, yet really disappointing. I love playing them, I thoroughly enjoy them, there are just so many missteps along the way that make me wonder what they were smoking.

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/01/2012 at 01:41am

Wondering what mis-steps you mean? Ive heard good things about Fable and always lamented the disclusion on the PS3. Though I do believe they had one on the PC?

Timogorgon Member Post Author wrote on 02/01/2012 at 04:34am

I know the first one came out on PC, I think you can get the Fable III on Steam too.

The only complaint I had about the first one is how your character ages as you level up. So by the time you reach the end of the game you're an old man even though no one around you ages. It was a very weird design decision IMO. I usually just equipped gear that covered my face so I couldn't tell I was old looking. :P
I should also note that I have the Lost Chapters version of the first Fable, which has a lot of extra content and really helped flesh out the game.

Travis Admin wrote on 02/05/2012 at 06:43am

Jon, I can't really name anything specific, for the most part. I don't know how to quantify it. I don't really have any complaints about the first Fable, except that it was unpolished. There was a lot of potential that hadn't been achieved. Fable 3 was kinda messy though. The whole system of decisions that crops up about halfway through the game is bad-- you never know what you're going to need until it gets time to make the call. Further, the core game was basically just Fable 2 with a new plot.

jdodson Admin wrote on 02/05/2012 at 04:19pm

That makes sense, thanks.
