Frame rates were a big deal for me and my friends during the later 90s. We loved stuff running at 60s, Shutokou Battle on DC was a revelation at the time. 

I play lots of older games and many are fine, especially PS1 which often operates at 30fps. 

Zelda is an interesting one, the frame rate was fairly low but the controls were always responsive so it felt good. 

The Sonic TV show, I think Boom, was pretty good actually!

I thought this was going to be about how amazing old racing games used to be because tracks would try and hide the pop up with twists and turns. Where as now you can see hundreds of miles so they just make long boring straight lines because they can.

Nailed it. 

I have rewatched both gamesmaster Bad Influence and the latter was a much better show. It covered so many more interesting topics and felt like a real passion for gaming. 

Although I like Dominic Diamond, overall the show wasn't good.

I'm enjoying it, but i do agree that it's somewhat different to the others. Kinda reminds me of Metroid 2 (or AM2R at least) with smaller areas to focus one and a bit more linearity to it. There is a lot of text but then again it's not a bad thing to have a story, although it certainly has a different feel to Zero Mission and Super Metroid.

 

 

I really like the horror like atmosphere to it all. The bright colours however kinda detract from that somewhat.

 

 

Yeah that is almost certainly down to the hardware at the time. Castlevania was so hard to see.

I think that's because it doesn't have any objects with height in them? Or least that what I heard on one of dudleys yesterzine vids I think?

Yeah it's doesn't have to scale objects on the race track. But still cool. 

Although some how, Street Racer does!

I meant using Isopropyl, not the heat

I think I realised that after but might as well let the conversation flow. 

I love Fusion!! Yes it's less Metroid like but so atmospheric and just nice to have a slightly different take on it. 

Minamino is best behind a striker I feel, in a 4-2-3-1.

Terrible idea, I use IPA to remove permenant marker, it'll destroy the poor box

Of course not. The Combatribes box is now in fantastic condition given it was completely covered in parcel tape. It also removes horrible bends too. 

Just need to be careful. 

I blogged about removing a difficult sticker a few years back.

The nostalgia is more general 80s nostalgia than the movies imo. 

Anyone trying to suggest the joint world's best player and one of the fittest men around is a bad move is talking shite. 

Wave Race is indeed a great challenge!

There is a fun and challenging Racer in there but tbh it's not very accessible at all. I remember having to make many tweaks to be competitive. It's difficult. 

MRC is not bad tbh. It's a little fuzzy but tweaks to the handling setup improve it no end. It's not great but I do like it myself. 

MGS2 is something special. One of the best looking games ever. And the sound is just as impressive. 

My favourite aspect of it is the lighting. Unbelievable. I love how the best PS2 games look. 

Nakamura does feature from time to time but with little impact. Miura is more a novelty/respect thing. He was on the bench the other day.  

Endo however does play in J2 for Jubilo. J1 is probably a bit of a reach for them nowadays. It's too fast. 

Shinji Ono also plays. Same era as Nakamura and was fantastic at Feyenoord. Injuries stopped him being a bigger star. 

DC was a nightmare for video modes. My DCX boots everything as per the disc, console is 50hz but it boots NTSC games at 60. 

VGA I think is only 60? As said above. 

Tokyo Highway Challenge would boot at 50, no option to choose then switch to 60 if played via RGB when you quite a race back the menu.

He’s fucking brilliant mate.  
 

 

Statistically he’s up there with anybody in the Premier League.  He’s not going to have the ball as much at Manchester City as he did at Villa, but then he’s not going to get doubled up on every week either.  Give him ten games to adapt and he’ll show the world just how good he is.  

You may be right. I just don't think he's the second coming. Stats aren't everything. 

The media somehow created this Grealish hype train. He's alright, but he's not top 4 player. Madness. 

Wow close. I've not seen much of it. I adored the first game but this looked a bit generic. But cautiously optimistic. 

Is this out soon?
