Chris McGuinness from Screen-Shaped Eyes is bringing retro back with his pick of games that desperately need a reboot.
If you’re a gamer “of a certain age”, you may vaguely remember the moment when games went from a grueling gauntlet requiring all your skill and concentration to tackle to a casual, checkpoint-containing, cruise control-encouraging walk in the park.
I beat Jurassic Park multiple times!
Jurassic Park had no save system, so I would leave the console running while I went to school, took breaks. It's not that it's hard, it's just tedious. But I was a Jurassic Park obsessed kid (around 13 when this hit), so I would obsessively scower ever inch of the maps (both 2D and 3D) until I had them memorized.
The Star Wars trilogy, I only beat w the cheat codes.
with the exception of Jurassic Park and Prince of Persia, I've beaten every other one of those. It just takes practice and time. Something I had way more of when I was younger.
Yes, it is much harder to start a retro collection in 2022 than it was in 2017, but it’s still possible! You’ll see there are still quite a few SNES games that are fun and affordable.
I really enjoyed Commando as a kid and it’s not listed . I bet it’s cheap maybe? Beat all 99 levels just to find out you start all over again .
Any retro console is still worth buying in 2022 whether a Genesis, NES, SMS, TG16. Some systems command a higher price then others but a SNES is still reasonably priced and worth grabbing you can mod the NA SNES to play Japanese games throw in an Everdrive and you're set. I feel sorry for some of the consoles I see on Ebay that have holes in them, yellowed to death, modified with shitty mods that barely work. The SNES might need a little work great way to learn if yellowed just use peroxide and UV light and it will turn white again. If you have a hobby of repairing older consoles that are listed as untested broken for parts some of the repairs are basic you can save money that way when buying a retro console. I just bought a $20 NES listed as broken on Ebay disable the lock out chip and new 72pin connector and it works.
Turning 64 this year.....my days playing video games are Now over.... time to move on to Jesus Christ .....I wish all of you Happy New Year . Game on Dudes!!!
It was fun while it lasted.
"Well before the arrival of notoriously difficult modern experiences like Dark Souls, we had incredibly challenging games like Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts and its predecessor Ghosts 'n Goblins. Here, I'll take a look at the Super NES classic because after all, it's Halloween!" - Alex Legard from Video Chums
Amazing game timeless classic and gameplay. The mode 7 and music blew my mind when it first released.
I'd just like to see more games like Mega Man 9 and 10 (one of the few things Capcom has done right this gen). Where they just go completely back old school and make new additions as if it were back in the day. I'd buy the hell out of some new Mega Man's, Final Fantasy's, Zelda's, Mario's, Battletoads, Castlevania's, etc.
add to that list
CONTRA,BATTLE ARENA TOSHIDEN,GRADIUS,EINHANDER,ROC KET WARRIOR,R-TYPE,METAL SLUG,RAIDEN PROJECT etc........
would die to play those games again.
I loved the Ultimate Ghosts'n Goblins on psp. Maximo would be nice to see again and so would Alexx the kid and Scaler.
old school crash and spyro ! heck i havent seen jak in like 10 yrs
Streets of Rage / Final Fight style games, regular fighting games i find are stale and repetitive now.
Also Desert Strike, Road Rash or it's almost exact copy but with other vehicles - ESPN Xtreme Games (PS1)
So many great games that could be brought back and have online Co-op etc.
