Sat and played through Streets of Rage 1, 2 and 3 a few days ago on ps4. Forgot how good the soundtrack was :upsidedow

Think I was the only Sega Mega-cd owner in my classroom at school lol.

Actually loved it at the time.

Blew me away as a kid playing that. Hadn't seen a Star Wars game quite like it on home console. The graphics at time although grainy were just mind blowing at the time.

Spent fucking hours playing that night after night. Ground-breaking at the time.


:pimp

I play a game called Red Alert, which came out in 1995 - old PC game. I play it a few times a week. It's fun... I pick a large map and max out on the computer players, and for the first twenty minutes I sweat it out as army after army attack me... Then the next twenty minutes is me puonding the snot out of them.

That version is a bit too old for me lol . I played c&c3 recently.

C&C remastered or what is it called is coming out this year.. fuck yeah!

"These these" thread title should be "think these". Doh !!

Hmm coming out 3 days before quarantine is lifted - just about time lol

I bought the D&D games based on the tits on the cover of the pc-game

I recently started replaying Fire Emblem Sacred Stones and i just love the aesthetic.

Of course they are trash compared to modern graphics but they have a certain aesthetic charm.

I kinda miss my Megadrive days as welll . . .

I spent so many hours on Ecco - Loved that game - Yeah, the graphics where amazing at the time - Sad memories as well:Oh crap...

The glory days.

Like I said I had a mega-CD aswell. Loved it. Didn't have the Mega 32X though.

Don't think many people did...

Such a chilled soundtrack to that game. I do feel sadness when I think back to that oddly ha!




I still play "Flashback" on ps4. You can get it cheap as shit off the PS Store. That in it's day was pretty groundbreaking...

before Atari I had Pong lol

Fuck I'm old

I've always preferred 8 and 16-bit graphics.. Games like that are dominating on my Nintendo Switch :thumbsup

To me those graphic styles are timeless, compared to PS1 and gamecube etc, I think those games looks really shitty now :winkwink:

When I think 16-bit graphics i immediately think of:

:thumbsup

Agreed. I subscribe to Modern Vintage Gamer on youtube, and every time he shows a game from PS and that they all look garbage, but games from NES/SNES that are 8/16-bit always look beautiful still.

Big fan of anything Mario and my Switch is also dominated by it.

They were and still are 'The Shit' and I know a bit about that subject... & retro games too LOL

Heads up for you to check out 'High Score Girl' on Netflix... Not my cup of tea normally (Manga / Jap) but people told me to try it and I did. Very good tbh :)

Not quite the same graphics, but certainly very playable and the same era...

I have a version that contains every gameboy game ever released :)

Happy Birthday Original Game Boy !

I was addicted to this game way back.. also Yuri's Revenge. :1orglaugh

The console my son has grown up with :)

A Super Game Boy addon for Snes would help in that aspect :)

And for the people talking about red alert, I used to play those games to death as well. Seems like they never got their groove back after they Released Red Alert Renegade, which was a FPS game not a strategy game :/

no leisure suit larry

I played the newest game in the series last year, was pretty fun actually :)
Check it out!

OMG I dedicated so many hours to this game and never beat it :1orglaugh :thumbsup

Remember how Star Fox had the Super FX graphics chip?

Computer graphics in my first games was looking like this:

Im in love with this game :thumbsup
plus: Red alert 2 - Red alert Yuri :pimp

Weird but the previous picture of my first games doesn't show. Here is another one:

Oh shit yeah. Another one of those "groundbreaking" titles at the time.

Amazing how shit they all look now. Still good memories at the time though...

Spent most of the afternoon playing original Grand Turismo on PS1 along with Carmaggeddon (also on PS1) but that one was shit.

My parents are gamers so I had all this shit in the house. I remember thinking this was the pinnacle of games:



...for like 2 seconds

If I recall well the Mega-CD was much more spicier than the Sega-CD . . .

Old flat mates worked on some popular games for PS1. I used to feed the Sabre tooth tiger from Tombraider before it became mesh and render.

You're talking about the few games that had video and some sexy scenes in it?
Trap something?
Night trap maybe?

Did you know, Night Trap is out on PS4 ??

It's been out on disk since 2017. I only found this out a week ago. There's only 5000 standard copies worldwide, and another 1 or 2 thousand copies of the special edition. Prices are high obviously, but I am gonna buy.

Amazing you mentioned Night Trap to be honest since I have spent the past few days reading up on it and trying to find the best to buy...

Here we go:

Someone spent a LOT of time doing this :helpme

Yeah, some minor thing but for a kid such differences are huge.

SCAT team leader !

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Night Trap and Mortal Kombat being released in the same year sent the media into meltdown :1orglaugh
