      If you’re looking for the much easier version than the SegaCD port is defintely the one you want. It’s great for beginners but unfortunately doesn’t provide challenge for experienced players. They’re both great. Choose the right one for you 👍🏻

    For me, I remembered arcade games like Pole Position 2, Bomb Jack, Donkey Kong, Out Run, WrestleFest (!), Hit the Ice (!), Sega Rally. C64, Atari and Amiga was Henrys House, Super Pipeline 2 (mario?), Internatinal soccer, IK+, the last ninja, bruce lee, pit stop, Epyx world/summer/winter/california games, defender of the crown, Bubble Bobble, stunt car racer, Kick Off, Wayne Gretzky hockey, Silkworm/Swiv. Sega Megadrive with NHL Hockey led me into this EA Sports NHL-mania. Katsumi Ninja on Atari Jaguar was also something cool! :-) Need For Speed, Duke Nukem, Blood and Half-Life was the deal on the PC. 2 year ago, I played trough Super Mario Bros 1,2 and 3. 🙂 I didn't play Rayman "back in the days" but on PS4, I bought the game for me and my kid, I was amazed and had to play until I got the trophy! I also didn't play Resident Evil, but now I have played RE1 and RE3.🙂

      @@Johnnygrafx it’s always a tough call between G Darius and Gaiden. I prefer the pixel art and craziness of Gaiden vs the early polygons, but the gameplay and insane bosses in G just take it. Both are masterpieces. And Burst is quite underrated so I was glad that Goji did such a great recap of the series.

    My entire gaming life was changed a couple years ago when I finally decided to seriously play shmups. There are soooooooo many great games to choose from and they are all different from each other. I've graduated into playing bullet hell games recently and that opened up another whole flood gate full of games. I love shmups just as much as I love fighting and racing games now.

Much more fleshed out where the anime felt abrupt at the end. There is a scene btw where Kaneda does call Tetsuo’s name that way too… it’s just not the meme that Kaaaneedaaa became.

    • @ShmupJunkie
      @ShmupJunkie 8 дней назад

      Unless it’s a DLP projector, most LCD based projectors tend to be that way. Most new ones have a game mode that helps. But in many cases using projection for gaming especially classic games is a toss up in terms of performance. As far as manufacturers are concerned, the percentage of buyers who plan to use it for gaming is small so they don’t prioritize it. They prioritize image processing and image quality which does impact response.

    I remember on Friday, sometimes Saturday evening we would go out to eat and then head out to the mall. Near the mall of course was ToysRus and Target. Inside was Sears, Penneys, Wards, and Kaybee Toys. Each week we got to buy a toy or video game. Decisions, decisions, decisions........Do you buy something at one of the first stores or hold off and maybe find something better! We also had a store called Hastings which was originally a book, magazine, and music store but got big into console gaming. Best of all they rented games!!! Also memories of the TV shows, movies, and music that was popular at the time. Fresh Prince, Saved by the Bell, Knight Rider. Movies like Ghostbusters, Die Hard, Goonies, ET. Groups like Queen, Duran Duran, Police, Toto, etc.
