Re: The Retro Corner

for the ps1 for me, its FFVIII (my most played final f) International Superstar Soccer Pro (epic) Colin McCrae 1, Toca Touring Cars (the original) Tomb Raider 2 3 an 4, i also enjoyed Time Crisis quite a bit...Destruction Derby 2 was epic (although how they still failed to input 2 player on one console on a sequel is beyond me) and Street Skater 2, a healthy alternative to Tony Hawks...

Then moved to a speccy 48K.
That was updated to a speccy 128K +2A.
A little later we got an Amiga CD32 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_CD32 for those who never heard of it, it was a flop)
The i bought a Game Gear from a mate in secondary school (oh the joy of us sat huddled round it at lunch time watching the Neighbours repeat onn the TV Tuner lol)
Then finally PS!/2/3 and a Game Boy Colour

Ive still got mine. I used to use it as a CD-ROM drive for my miggy.

I recently bought a Dreamcast, to re live the 90's, my old one broke... almost 10 years ago now.

 

Sonic adventure, sonic adventure 2, and Toy Commander were the three best games imo, although i heard good things about shenmue... never got to play it, might buy it now actually. thanks for reminding me! :smileyvery-happy:

 

but yeah, sonic adventure 2, my god that game was good :smileywink:


 

Ahh yes, the fantastic Dreamcast. I still have mine, haven't played it for a while though.

Shenmue is still one of my all time favourite games.

I also loved 18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio and Phantasy Star Online.

Too many great games :smileyhappy:


 

oh my god, I forgot most of those games existed! thanks, ill be buying those again soon, ahh nostalgia time :smileyvery-happy:

Now, go and see if you're still as good at Chuckie Egg as you once were. First time I played it since 1985 and I could still remember the paths those hen/duck/goose creatures would follow.

I forgot about Toca Touring Cars. Great game! :smileyhappy: I used to love driving the wrong way, and then smash into all the cars. :smileyvery-happy: The damage in that game was brilliant!

Re: The Retro Corner

My first console was the Sega Master System II, which pretty much sparked my addiction to gaming. :Lol:

I remember it having Alex the Kid in Miracle World built-in, which was so cool at that time. That was soon followed by the Mega Drive.... yeah I was a BIG Sega fanboy when I was a kid. :Smile:
