I was 2, and I love the American SMB2!
I also have nostalgia for Screwattack's content – that was where I watched AVGN and Unforgotten Realms (REMEMBER THAT???), so I naturally cross-pollinated to Stuttering Craig and Handsome Tom's videos – and I thought their lists sucked, too. They called Sonic R the worst game in the series (wrong), called Sonic CD the best (wrong), and infamously once showed an unfinished fan-game in a line-up of official titles (wrong, but humorous). I don't think either of those guys knew as much about video games, especially non-Nintendo ones, as they put on. The only list they did that I actually liked was the sex scenes one, because – well, nevermind.

In the genesis heyday I really wanted to try that game, but I never got around to it.
its a cool ARPG, worth checking out.
I played Mario's Game Gallery so much, you don't even know. I started off with the demo of Go Fish and eventually found a boxed copy of the game and got to try the other mini games out. They were all fun, especially chess and checkers! But man me and my family used to quote Mario all the time when playing the Go Fish demo.
7th Saga... I've only heard of and beaten that game this year. Going into it totally blind, it was a truly memorable/painful experience. I had to unlearn most of what I knew about JRPGs to understand how to beat it. Each fight was intense, especially against the other apprentices. To be honest, I only beat the game after looking up the infinite Lux stat boost glitch.
Yo! Glad to know that someone else thinks that Sonic R is amazing. I LOOOOVED the PC version as a kid.
Over the PS1 Tarzan game?? I played that game a crap ton as a kid and even in my teenage years i replayed the game and I still thought it was fantastic.
Every youtube video Ive seen on disney ps1 games says its crappy, I bet they've only played it for the video for 30 minutes
No, I totally get this. You're not being cringey. You're being human. No worries =)! It's cool that something 16-bit could affect you in such a way. Sometimes I think about how certain experiences can only be experienced within x-time and that each iteration makes us more indifferent to the prior ones. I was playing Blood Roar the other day and if I had to be honest - it's an ugly ass game. I mean mad, mad ugly. But I think when I first played it, it was the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life. I had never seen such "ultra realistic" graphics. I mean, woah! Is that what a real wolf man would look like? It's cool when stuff can grab you like that.
As someone that grew up with the Sega Genesis, I don't get the hate for Bubsy, at least the 1st game. It's not completely terrible like most people make it out to be. I believe the main issue is that people that try to play Bubsy try to play it like Sonic just because he can run fast and jump and glide. I notice that there's a large group of gamers that like to always be running when it comes to platformers. Super Mario Bros is the biggest example of this, as a lot of people like to hold the B button down while they play. I never believed platformers were meant to be played that way. There are moments (sometimes a lot of them) where you're SUPPOSED to take your time and collect things so that you aren't constantly dying within 5 minutes.
Is there a way to get the framerate higher or at least more stable in emulation? I've been curious about the game but the framerate is so bad in spots from what I've seen that I haven't bothered to grab it. From what I understand, the game is a remake of the first game, right?
As far as I'm aware there's no way to beef up the framerate due to the engine it used. I might be wrong I only played it on native hardware. As far as it being a remake goes yeah it sort of is. The plot in the original and this are so bare bones they're basically the same.
I have recently started on using local translations tool, both pre-compiled and AI driven ones. People have also already begun making tools for locally translating games in real-time, like ones used to translate RPGMaker games. It is still a year or two away from full maturity, but we are already there, so expect tools that would translate and both help in translation of large games for small team of enthusiastic translators - and I do mean translator, not localizers - in the near future.
102 Dalmatians is hugely underrated too. the way Goin' Quackers is a Crash Bandicoot clone, Dalmatians is a Spyro the Dragon clone. it's baby's first platformer a bit, pretty easy but surprisingly long and just a lot of fun for a relaxing chill game with quite a bit of mini games and multiplayer stuff to do. I loved it as a kid and going back to it am always surprised how well it holds up, it's on PSX and Dreamcast. I also loved the Tarzan game, played it at a friend's on PC and got it on 64 a few years later. there's a GBA disney tarzan game that's also really good, for whatever reason it came bundled with mine and I recently remembered it existed and played it on my everdrive and it was much better than I expected.
