Absolutely loved this series. Personally my biggest fear for games like this is that it will not only be terrible but in doing so will also ruin my blissful memories of what playing these games for hours was like. It's been the main reason I don't want to buy Shenmue 3. Also was just wondering if this series was made to compete with Final Fight on SNES or were all the sytems trying to get into the market after Double Dragons success.

Have to say I quite enjoyed Final Fight as well.

My go to games were SoR, The strike series (Jungle strike, Desert strike, Urban strike?) and a game called General Chaos, not sure how many of you played that game but god it was fun so many hours of enjoyment out of the Sega. I got turned into a Sega fanboy after that and still own every Sega console to this day other then the Game Gear which my dad randomly gave away to a family down the street while I was at school because their children weren't well off and he felt sorry for them. I still have bitterness haha.

My memory is a little rough but it was the master system that had the door you could close and had Alex the Kid in built right?

I'm not sure how that would sell with the diehards though. Getting off track I think the best WWE game that gave my friends and I hours of fun was WWE No Mercy on the N64.

Ms Adequate posted:Yep, definitely this. And back in those days chances were strong that kids like us were lucky to get more than one or two games a year - birthday and Christmas - so you were more or less stuck with whatever grandma had bought, and maybe you could convince dad to take you to Blockbuster to rent something for the weekend because your best buddies from school are sleeping over. Anyway the point is you had very little capacity for changing your options when you made them/they were made for you. If that meant you were co-oping through Streets of Rage II between bouts of Road Rash, then great, but it could also mean you and the boys were trying to co-op through Battletoads and had merely Shaq Fu for backup, and so you played Battletoads and Shaq Fu, quality be damned. (Mom and dad had already started drinking and settled in to watch whatever they rented from Blockbuster, some weird boring adult thing no doubt, so you sure as hell weren't getting a second shot at that). Man everything you said you nailed 100%, thinking back to those times with mates sitting in bean bags and laying on the floor. One of the guys from school had a game guide magazine which he took from his older brother who was away for the weekend so we only had access to it for a short time. We used an electric typewriter and typed the guide out word for word so we could put the magazine back unnoticed so we didn't get beaten up haha. Toe jam & Earl was our back up game. Good times, bloody good times.

deep dish peat moss posted:General Chaos was great, probably a quarter of all of my childhood arguments were about whether it was better to pick the two directly-controllable soldiers or the 5 RTS-style soldier group. (Hint: it was the 2 soldiers) There was a kick starter by the creators a few years back, I was so unhappy it never reached its goals.
