Since this one’s a retrospective post (it happened about 6 months ago 😛 ) — managed to score myself an awesome (working!) woodgrain Atari 2600 at the markets. Only had one joystick, but there were plenty of games on offer! Ended up clearing the stall out of most of them, it was truly awesome to head back to my early childhood for some gaming. I still have more titles to grab, but this is an awesome start 🙂
More pics of Atari 2600 stuff are here if you’re interested!
Another short post – finally worked out how to get a few tricks with the C64’s cassette deck working and gave The Great Giana Sisters a go to test it out.
This one’s another brief entry – played a bit of Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker on the Sega Mega Drive. Again, Sega’s programmers made the FM synth on that little black box do some amazing things, and even if the game’s a bit silly, it’s good fun. Will do an expanded write-up on this game in the future methinks.
This will be known as the Sega Saturn/Samurai Shodown 4 edition 🙂
Lotsa screen shots from SS4, note that I’ve paused it almost every time because I was trying to get through the levels as fast as possible to get the special boss endings 🙂 SS4 was the first Samurai Shodown game I invested a fair whack of time in, and aside from the fact that it was a stunning Saturn conversion (of course 😉 ), it proved to be a complex game that demanded a different approach to your typical 2D fighter.
Oh, and Rimururu is tottemo-kawaii as well 😀
Next up is a screen-cap montage from the joygasmic intro from the super-awesome-win Treasure masterpiece, Guradian Heroes. I didn’t play the game, I just felt like watching the intro 😉
Finally we have Sonic 3D on the Saturn showcasing the best part about the game – the special stages. Whilst the Saturn never got a decent Sonic game, Traveler’s Tales’ Sonic 3D was a nice-looking port of the original Mega Drive game with great music and awesome special stages.
This one’s a simple one – I only have screen shots of Sonic 2 on the SMS… and it doesn’t look like I got that far either 😛 I was always crap at that bloody hang glider 😛
