I'd like to see more Quick Look Throwbacks. And not just for pure comedy like Multimedia Celebrity Poker, but to give one of the guys a chance to showoff an old, and perhaps overlooked, game that they really like.

I want Jeff to do an Amiga Stream, since like none of the crew except him had one. Also it's almost 30 years since they launched which is really crazy when I type it out.

I wonder if any of them played Phantom 2040, Super Baseball 2020, or Metal Warrior. Those were three of my favorite games of the SNES era(outside of the standard top-tier stuff) and if they haven't given them a shot, I would love a Breaking Brad: Metal Warrior. That game is really fun and unique for its time, but god drat is it balls hard after a while. I think Patrick would like Phantom 2040 for how straight up different it is from pretty much any game of its era. Like, it's a platformer and all, but the storyline and progression is like Chrono Trigger's multiple endings, except if you instead changed it so that it would be multiple entire games instead. A few early crucial decisions can completely change the game's progression and layout depending on what you pick, and there's many, many endings. Dozens, I believe. The password system is also one of the balls-out craziest I've ever seen, with like 80-digit codes or something, but I can understand why when the game's that complex. It really blew me away as a kid, also it was a damned grim game. It's one of my favorite games of all time, probably in my top 10 or 20. I feel like I am the only person on the entire planet who ever played it, though. On another note, does anyone have a good-quality image of the Gamepro ranking system? I figure this thread would be a good place to ask since a lot of people in here seem to be the sort who would even remember what I'm talking about. Not the scale they went with later, but rather the five-face original ones, this is the only example of good quality I could find, but it only has two of the faces.

Metal Warriors is one of my favourite SNES games, I only lament the fact that a boxed copy is drat near as expensive as Earthbound on eBay. I'm sure Jeff has at least played it briefly since he's talked about the Assault Suits series. Phantom 2040 I never played much of, because I didn't like the way it controlled. It felt a lot like the crappy Judge Dredd movie game to me, but I had no idea it was that ambitious. I'll have to give it another go.

Once you get the hang of the "ninja rope" in Phantom 2040, you can do some really crazy poo poo. There's a few pretty difficult levels depending on the items you have, and the sewer level(like all sewer levels) is pretty bad, but stuff like the underground jungle versus the spider-tanks and fights against Graft were pretty fun. The branching storyline thing though, yeah, it was loving ridiculous. Like, one of the very first decisions you make in the game(at the University) determines if you meet certain characters or obtain certain items throughout the entire rest of the game. You have to choose between the moral choice or getting a sweet fire extinguishing grenade, I think(saving the professor, or attacking some robots). I remember there being a contra-style boss, straight up techno-organic skull-monster in the basement of a labratory that was pretty creepy too. Totally-not-facehuggers scampering around too. Man, now I wanna break out the SNES and play it again. Hakkesshu posted:gently caress yeah, it has some of the nastiest basslines on the SNES. There will never be a more impressive piece of video game music to me than the Solstice title theme music. This is exactly how it sounded on an NES. It's insane. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_gObHt1uZA Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Feb 1, 2014 |

I've been eyeing that one for my Neo Geo and it looks like it has a lot of personality to it. That one and Baseball Stars 2 as well.

I really enjoyed it, but I honestly haven't played it since I was younger, so I couldn't reliably tell you without nostalgiagoggles. But I do remember that there was a certain way to totally break the game when playing against the headless robot team, there was a specific pitch you can do that will hit them every single time, and while you'll let them get like 20 runs in and lose a shitload of money, you can completely destroy the entire team and make them worthless by beaning each player three times, which "breaks" them and drops their stats into the toilet. It adds a few new mechanics to baseball, such as jetpacks for outfielders, upgradeable stats, armor and powerups for players, Stop pads in the outfield to immediately halt a ball that rolls onto it, earning/losing money for performing well/badly/hitting people, a bunch of other stuff. And the aesthetic is pretty good, too. I liked it a lot, but again, nostalgia talking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFlKdzdnPVw edit: oh this isn't a video of the SNES version, but it's essentially the same exact thing just without the insert coin stuff, and I don't remember the umpire ever coming out and adding extra poo poo onto the field, weird.

It's that the fake fighting looks terrible and the soap opera storylines make porn scripts look like pulitzer price writing packaged in a mind numbing show format (and everyone who watches wrestling seems to think something along those lines) that raises some confusion. The Amiga was an amazing system and Americans almost universally never saw any of it, they had C64s but not Amigas which is even weirder to me. Also I made a right wing dude in the NZ thread mad because I called his Thatcherite Waifu "a disgusting, sub-human hate monger who deserves nothing but scorn" Now I need to get a new skull.

This loving owns. dreffen posted:Metal Warriors is one of those games for me that I'll always remember for the awesome soundtrack more than anything. We recently had a Metal Warriors tournament and while it's definitely still fun holy balls is the game imbalanced as hell. Certain mechs just own the gently caress out of others, especially in cramped spaces. The divebombing flying thing is a beast in the rights hands though.

Speaking of Metal Warriors, I always wondered if that ball mech was the inspiration for the droidekas in the Star Wars prequels, especially since both of them are Lucas properties.

I'd say he's just a throwaway threadshit-gimmick account but he's not funny enough for that. who the gently caress cares tho Anyway Drew said something about "wanting to do something with beamng" with the new 'unfinished' concept, did he elaborate on that on UPF? It's basically just a (granted - pretty impressive) tech demo at this point, so i'd be curious if stuff like that matches what that feature covers or how they'd even approach showing it off.

IRQ posted:"gently caress you it's January" is a known media phenomenon, nothing is coming out for them to QL, and some of Pat's Spelunky sessions are pretty good when he has guests. The best Giant Bomb content in the last year was them playing a game released in 1995 (or 2011 if you're one of those people). Jeff's garage and the Gamespot library are full of thousands of games they could take a look at and make entertaining. A drought of new releases really should not affect GB in any way other than positively, considering what their top-tier content has consisted of in the past. Gamespot also has a whole room that is wall-to-wall green screen. They played Cards Against Humanity in there once right after the move, but I think it's monopolized as a fancy set for Gamespot shows now.
