Shin_Seffron Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 UPDATE 28/09/07 Sin and Punishment (N64) 1200 points Legend of Hero Tonma (Turbografx) 600 points Gradius III (SNES) 900 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 just had a quick go with Sin and Punishment, its obviously good stuff. i know it looks prehistorically outdated by todays standards, but it certainly reminds you of the gulf between the 64's gfx and any of its rivals at the time. plays nicely, obvious comparison is lylat wars but thats a good thing of course, lylat wars is shit hot. taking me a while to get used to aiming and moving, jumping and changing aim type all at the same time i was getting there by the end of my little go though, ill get stuck in tomorrow straight after i finish a couple of rock hard crisis missions on Time Crisis 2 GET BONUS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 UPDATE 05/10/07 Super Thunder Blade (Mega Drive) 800 points Streets of Rage 3 (Mega Drive) 800 points Landstalker (Mega Drive) 800 points Golden Axe 3 (Mega Drive) 800 points Fatal Fury: King of the Fighters (Neo Geo) 900 points Its another Sega week! Nintendo must be preparing itself to release Super Metroid anytime soon... Also the Neo Geo's first VC appearence! I think i'll pick up Landstalker at some point as i really wanted it as a kid, but never got hold of it. Was meant to be touted as some kind of anser to Zelda if i remember correctly?

Hendo Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Holy fuck! I'll be after SoR3 and Fatal Fury I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Yeah but remember what happened last time Hendo? SoR3 will probably be out on Live soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Bah I might have to buy some points this week Shin, Landstalker is fantastic, it is pretty similar to Zelda, just segafied. SOR 3 is the type of game I bought into the VC for, it costs far too much to buy the original, and it's never really been emulated well over here (if at all). Fatal Fury, as a series, i love, but I wont have enough points for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambob Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Oh damn, looks like I might be buying some wii points for the first time in a little while, SOR3 is something I think I remember playing on an arcade machine when i was even more of a nipper.

Hendo Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 Looks like it's an amazing week for the VC, I hope they keep this up. Apart from Thunder Blade and Golden Axe 3 they're all essential games. I'm gonna need me some points and make some space in the memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 UPDATE 12/10/07 Probotector II (NES) 500 points Super Metroid (SNES) 800 points Its here!! ITS FUCKING HERE! At long last!! Super Metroid FTMFW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Double post extravaganza! Downloaded Super Metroid... Its quite strange that it seems you HAVE to have either french or german subtitles on for the story bits, but i guess that isnt a major thing :whistle: The game holds up really well, plays great, maybe a little clunky if youve got the GBA Metroids. Nothing stops this from being the definitive Metroid title though :cheer: Get it now, and appreciate the good lords finest work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooooh rah, this is the best game to come out on the VC for ages in my opinion. I rekon some people may find it a little old, but you really are missing out if you dont give it a chance, one of the most atmospheric old school games out there. Loads of secrets to find too....

Sambob Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ah I have fond memoeries watching some canadian video gaming disciple playing this game ages ago. He was so devoted to games, like a mix of Illdog and Hendo but ginger (I know terrifying thought) and he would play this game and do a thousand word a minute commentary on it. So yes I shall definitely be getting this game if only to relive the commentary in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroed Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 It's definitely one of the best SNES games, nay games, ever. I'm not sure if I'll download it as I think I have the US cart lying around somewhere. But to those that haven't played it before it's a must have. My favourite Metroid, before they went to crappy 3D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendo Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Other than Gate of Thunder I'm not that tempted to part with my "hard-earned" points this week. This is where Ben and TGK comes in handy as more NeoGeo games pop down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I've never actually played a World Heroes game, I'd like to but maybe not just yet. All I really know about them is that some of the characters are quite good and that there's a new one (World Heroes Gorgeous) on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin_Seffron Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I was slightly tempted by Castlevania II, but i havent even got Super Castlevania yet... only cos these are the more traditional Castlevania games - before they started adding daft names at the end like 'Dawn of Sorrow' or the next one - 'Concerto of misery' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 theres a world heroes cabinet, or was, in an pool hall near me. its decent enough fun, got all your fighting game stereotypes and archetypes in there, i wouldnt plonk down 900 points for it though. isnt world heroes gorgeous a ps2 complilation?
