waybackguy , 1 month ago to RetroGaming in My best score in Uplink yet, what's yours?

Back when Ambrosia made Mac ports. DEFCON was cool.

Hmm I think you're right, I might have confused GT1 with GT2. Both great games though.

waybackguy , 3 months ago to RetroGaming in Why new fan blog “Final Fantasy VIII is the Best” is the best

Haven't played FFVIII since it was released back in 1998. From what I can remember I really liked it. Seemed to have a more mature story than most games at the time.

Yeah I don't remember where that Nights cameo showed either. Anyone got a clue?

Wow is that an original psx? I remember GT. One of the few multi disc racing/sim games. Some of the best graphics the original PlayStation had to offer. 👍

Facepalm. Stay classy DK. :)

waybackguy , 4 months ago to RetroGaming in Have video games become expensive now?

Yeah I remember Donkey Kong Country cost like $60 back in 1994 when it first released. That's like $100 today adjusted for inflation. Nowadays DLC, the cloud, hardware and the like adds to it, although hardware has always been pricey to an extent.

waybackguy , 4 months ago to RetroGaming in Whatever Happened to SimCity?

Two words, nuclear meltdown. Seriously though, city building games do still exist, although often the gameplay is part of a wider genre like 4X, kinda like stealth mechanics in action adventure games.

Dragon Quest for sure! Short but sweet. The sequels are longer. The final boss on Dragon Quest 5 was tough. Super Famicom great 90's game.

Max Payne "I was too tired to go on." or "I was afraid to go on."

Game over screens too like Arkham City with the villain mocking Batman. System Shock with the hopeless death animation. Sometimes the deaths can get elaborate and repetitive though like some horror games.
