Does this game hold up? It looks kind of boring.

I've heard a few e-celebs say that it "hasn't aged well", but I strongly disagree.

yeah I still play it, one of the greatest co op games and it has generated stages as well

[Anonymous No.3466337]

>>3466158

Discovering level 0 is still one of my fondest childhood memories of this game. I mean yeah, it's kind of obvious and not even that well hidden when you think about it, but it still blew my mind back then. If it was released today, everyone online would know about it before it was even out in stores.

And yes op, it does hold up really well. Play it it in coop for an even better experience.

[Anonymous No.3466792]

>>3466780
No I'm not. Haven't you heard an American speak? They over pronounce their Rs and say aye instead of A. They also say super instead of very or something of that nature, and zero instead of no or none.

[Anonymous No.3466802]

>>3466792
Well, whatever, you're on a mostly American board, so complaining about our dialect is kinda silly and pointless.

If I expose it you'll see how retarded you sound.

[Anonymous No.3466815]

>>3466805
It's not retarded, just different. British and Australian people sound even worse than Americans do, like they'll add random R's after vowels where they don't belong but won't actually pronounce an R when they are used.

For example, a British person will call Amiga "AmiGER" instead of "Amigah", but with a word like Driver, they'll say "Drivah". They also skip T's and call Z Zed, for some reason.

No, it's a retarded bastardisation.
> like they'll add random R's after vowels where they don't belong but won't actually pronounce an R when they are used.
No, not true.
>British person will call Amiga "AmiGER" instead of "Amigah"
No, it's Amiga, not Amigar. Where did you get this idea from? You sound like a moron.
>but with a word like Driver, they'll say "Drivah".
That's how it is said. Americans over pronounce their Rs. You sound like whiny pirates.
>They also skip T's and call Z Zed, for some reason.
No, Americans don't know how to say T, you say wadder instead of water. You sound like idiots.
Z IS zed. Where did you even get zee from, nobody else says that. Is it another part of your simplified English.

That doesn't offer any proof either. It's saying exactly what you said. I've lived in Britain most of my life and I haven't heard what you're describing. Perhaps you have a different idea of how R sounds.

[Anonymous No.3466942]

>>3466938
Why do you add the R sound to words that don't have any R's in them?

Seagar isn't how you pronounce SEGA.

What do you reckon an R sounds like? I don't think you have any clue about the English language.

[Anonymous No.3466975]

>>3466949
Every British person I've heard speak pronounces R's like H's and adds R's randomly to R-less words.

hey what's with british people pronouncing 'th' as "v"? theyre separate sounds dumbasses. and while i'm at it, why do you say 'y' at the end of words like "aiygh"? why do you say soft 'o's like "ouyh"? why do you pretend 'r's don't exist at all? why do you say squirrel like "skwuuhl" or "squirrow"?

i could do this all day. they're called accents asshole. and british is in no way "puuhfact aiynglesh" or whatever bullshit

[Anonymous No.3467187]

No, you say aye and ore instead of A and R.

r = "ore" is blatantly inaccurate though. we say it like "are". do you even speak english?

I've heard you speak. Instead of 'harder' you say 'hoarder'.

[Anonymous No.3467221]

>>3467209

OK I'll bite. Can you provide any evidence of this? I've literally never heard an American say "harder" like "hoarder." Maybe my American ear can't detect it, but all I've ever heard is "hoarder" pronounced somewhat like "whoreder" and "harder" like "hahrder." I've never heard the word "harder" pronounced like "hoarder."

[Anonymous No.3467845]

Friend and I got really far the other day. Yes it holds up pretty well music is great. Gameplay is fun. Was a good time. Only complaint I have is that its a little slow paced especially on one player. With two people splitting up though its pretty good.

Love how is has split screen. For a lot of Genesis games if player one leaves the screen than you cant see player 2 anymore, Lost Vikings as an example.

The pacing is a bit slow in 1P mode but it's a blast with a friend. Unlike a lot of older multiplayer co-op games, a friend can only really help you instead of not holding their own and forcing you to be gimped or taking too many power-ups, of which there seems to be plenty in this game.

Plus elevator banter.

It's a good platformer but people bitched at the time because the gameplay deviated so dramatically from the first game.

I remember once when a friend came to stay at my house for a week. I opened a thread on /vr/ about good 2p retro games, and lots of folks mentioned Toejam&Earl.

We were utterly bored with the game. And this is coming from guys who love slow paced games (rpg's, graphic adventures, simulators...)

[Anonymous No.3471481]

>>3467221
Just ignore this guy. I've seen him make these exact same complaints in the past.

Also, much like in the UK, different parts of the US have their own dialects and accents. Someone from Texas will say things differently than someone from New York. There is no single "American" accent.

There's no such thing as an American "accent" to begin with, it's merely the correct way to speak the so-called English language.

The earth levels are like random "dungeons."
You have one of the widest selections powerups.
Gameplay is balanced by skill and luck
The graphical style is fun.
The enemies are all unique.
It has secret zones.
One of the most imaginitive games of all time.

Yeah, I came to the conclusion that it may very well be my favorite co-op game of all time. I can't think of any game since that does the dynamic split screen like it.
