I loved Crusader! Recently I downloaded the entire NES library and a partial SMS library. Right now I am playing through the Wonderboy games (heaven!) Still looking for a copy of Psycho Fox though, loved that game to death.

the snes version was a totally different game candy, and was a piece of shit
the md version was, on the other hand, fucking awesome
just because i didn't own it didn't mean i didn't get to play a fucking shitload of it
and that boomerang is easily in my top 5 controllers

earthworm jim 1 and 2 are the only old games I enjoy playing today, even old sonic is a bit boring because i've played it so much and it isn't near as interesting as EWJ.
EWJ 1 & 2 are amazingly stylish, and the humour is right up my alley, I mean the character himself is brilliant... a worm in a special suit, and he's animated brilliantly, the striding superhero run for example.
and I love how his suit pulls him out and uses him as a whip.
The music makes the game even funnier, classical music is such a contrast but works so well. and andy asteroids is just hilarious.
and the humour!
professor monkey for a head, absolute gold!
and those cows... "well done".
the game show when you're a salamanda
GROOVY!

Jim's Now A Blind Cave Salamander is undoubtedly the funniest thing I've ever seen in a videogame. I still remember the first time I played it... The combination of becoming a blind cave salamander for apparently no reason and the first movement from the Moonlight Sonata was just too much, all I could do was let Jim sink to the bottom of the screen as I pissed myself laughing. The effect of the screen warping when you went too close to the seedy villi was genuinely freaky. Exploding sheep, pinball bumpers and the absurd gameshow at the end; playing that level has gone down as one of my favourite gaming experiences of all time.

I suppose 5 minutes on a non-Nintendo console for you would be considered a shitload.selfish wrote:the snes version was a totally different game candy, and was a piece of shit

Earthworm Jim brought me so much joy After selfish, Jizzy McLobber and Gamma reminded me of Earthworm Jim, I just had to hunt up some more pics.
Oh those poor puppies.........

I cant think of the mega drive without thinking TECHNOSOFT shooters.
Awesome music in all technosoft games.
WoW reference: Tier one might set modeled off this guy
Also: Segagaga final boss with Thunderforce 6 music (from the cancelled DC version). Just awesome.
Segagaga again, pre boss intro. A familiar theme plays near the end. Go SEGA!

I can remember when I saw this advertised on telly. Straight down to the shop but left empty handed because the game was over $200!!! One of two games I know of on the Megadrive that cost over 2-spot. The other was SF2Turbo.Misly wrote:

Yeah man, I hear ya. Afaik the Snes wasn't widely known in NZ till atleast halfway through its life even then I think it was pimped on Shortland Street as one of the characters Xmas present (The Super Mario Worlds bundle). The only time I saw games for it was in a video rental store in my town, other than that I never saw any games for for sale in retail until the time the 3DO was out and I discovered two stores, Gamezone on Symonds Street (Now GPstore) and Gamesman in Mt Wellington. They were like luxury stores compared to whatelse was around IE: Before gaming was taken seriously as a form of entertainment.
