>itt: games you desperately wanted to play when you were younger, but never got an opportunity to until you were older. Also your reaction to said game when you finally got to play it

Maui Mallard In Cold Shadow- Typical platformer (not particularly fond of the genre). Nothing really inspiring about it though it has some nice animation. Only redeeming quality is the Cold Shadow levels

Sonic CD - My parents never got it for me despite the fact that we actually had a Sega CD in 1993. It wasn't until ten years later that I got to play it on emulator.

It was more of what I loved about the Genesis trilogy. Fug the haters.

Was the cashier a fucking imbecile or just a douchebag?

If they're going to buy the damn thing, let the damn costumer buy it, better for the seller.

I never understood cashiers denying sales, it's like they hate money, or something.

It kinda sorta does. Its major criticism comes from the level design. It doesn't encourage speed like Sonic 2 does, but instead encourages exploration. The problem is the time travel mechanic requires speed, hence the problems people have with the level design.

>> No.1453125

>>1453045
I found that it actually made trying to achieve speed more interesting. Instead of just basically holding right and down as much as possible, you had to aim for the right poles and then plan out an easy way to get a good period of speed so that you warped. If you screwed up and went to the future, then at least there were plenty of chances to get back to the past and fix what was wronged. People act like the whole game was just designed against speed. If anything, it was designed against thoughtless speed.

I am a big fan of open exploration, so having it in a sonic game was great. I wouldn't mind every Sonic game being like that really, more exploration-heavy than speed-focused.

Check out the DC version most of the songs are remixes of the Saturn version. Its really good minus the SUPER SENSITIVE controllers but good graphics with classic daytona feel.

As a child, I didn't had Super Metroid.

I never saw the cartridge in any store when I looked, and I didn't knew better, despite knowing about the game through our Nintendo tv show Nintendomania at national broadcast TV. Maybe the interest per se wasn't there, I was more of a fantasy kid than scifi. Or rather, as I grew and knew more about the game's gameplay, I felt intimidated by it's open-world sidescrolling with save stations to be found, or else, you go way back. But still, even as a kid and a teenager some curiosity in my mind kept lingering.

Well, the other day (Monday to be exact) I found the Justin Bailey hack for Super Metroid and I tried it just for the laughs. And then I thought I'd play some more to try it out, on my modded Wii.

I didn't notice it, I just got into the game. Big time. I played 2 or 3 hours after work daily this week, and I just finished the game. I got like... 10 Energy Tanks, 2 Reserve Tanks, a lot of missles, super missles and the like. I think I did rather well for being my first time, no guides and no save states used as soon as I seriously got into the game. 69% completition grade. Don't know my total exact play time.

How was it for my first time? I'll replay it next month, I think, but now I'm really with a feeling of self-accomplishment. I haven't gotten so much into a game since high school, and using no guides, just like it was 1994 again, felt great, even if I got stuck at times for a long while. I thought about either tackling Metroid Super Zero Mission (another SM Romhack), or Metroid II: Return of Samus next, I haven't decided yet.

However, there is another game I wanted as a kid, and I have yet to tackle: The Lion King.

Always dreamed of owning this and this ended up being one of the last versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 I owned (cost me $100 but it also included Night Warriors: Darkstalkers Revenge as a freebie so no quibble).

Quite a few Dreamcast games as well (since it took quite a bit of time before I got Internet decent and persistent enough to download games).

Definitely avoid Super Zero Mission, it's just a shitty frustration hack. My recommendation to new Super Metroid players looking for a hack would be either Super Metroid Limit or Super Metroid Legacy.

Nah, dude. It's not even really nerdrage or the fact that it's a video game. It's just upsetting when you hear about parents who piss on their kids' harmless fun. You can watch ten minutes of the game to form an opinion and talk to your kid about why you think it's inappropriate before you smash your kid's new toy. It's not like they found a gun or drugs or even porn. It was a goddamn game the kid got with his allowance/lawnmowing/birthday money.

I know a girl who was never allowed to celebrate her birthday, and any gifts her family sent were promptly burned or sold. In elementary school, her class made Mother's Day cards; her mom tore hers up and threw it in the garbage and came to the school the next day to throw a humiliating fit about her religious beliefs being violated. This is the same deal, in my opinion.

I guess I'd play it safe if I was convinced something was constantly trying to eat my kid's soul.

Super Star Wars, I always wanted to buy it when I was a kid, but never managed to.

Not the best ever, but definitely one of the better games as far as movie adaptatiosn go.
