Do you know that feeling when you run around the entire perimeter of a game and still can find the thing you need to interact with to move the game forward?

Honestly it's one of the most beautifully designed and packaged retro gaming products I have ever bought. Whoever made this, it's a labour of love. Highly recommended for anyone who loves 8 bit games ...

>changes the world by doing things never done before in the FPS genre

Racing games needed to go 3D to actually capitalize on their potential. There was too much that couldn't be done when 2D was all they had to work with.

has anyone tried this yet? I hear a lot of mixed things but it looks really unique and cool. Any moonfags or onion games fans out there that can give me a good rundown? also moon/onion general ig.

i'm gonna say it DOOM is not that good. the FPS genre didn't hit its stride until Quake

It's funny how Reptile was the original secret character, loved for being this semi mythological figure even before Akuma, but soon as he entered the canon story, became the biggest mook/grunt

It's rare that a game is so good I play it for ten hours straight without even noticing. This is one of those rare titles. As such I must christen it as kamige ludo of the highest order.

What went wrong? Was it ahead of its time?

This board has a pretty obvious problem.

Do you think anyone ever died while playing Zathura for PS2? Or other ports. Not necessarily because of the game itself IE seizures, but for any reason.

Don't look now, just some 80s kids utterly dunking on the TMNT water stage. Historical game enjoyment thread?

Damn this game is pretty underrated. Just started it, hopefully it stays this good.
