The journal is such a quaint little way to keep track of quests and goings on. It sure beats the sterile QUEST LOG: BRING GEM OF GALBOR TO THAR'NROG'TH TEMPLE: INCOMPLETE that modern RPG's use.
I like this a lot more than I thought I would.
Top Hunter (NG): A great platformer for Neo-Geo, with some KOF series special moves (Ko-oh ken, dragon punch, and bakuretsuken). Your character has an extending arm for punching or even grabbing and throwing anything that moves or doesn't. The powerball lets you perform Ralf-style vulcan punches and generally kick ass.
This is one genre of game I'd have liked to see get the 100+ Mega Shock treatment more often. JFTR, it's criminal that this isn't in the Neo-Geo X initial lineup.
Pochi & Nyaa (NG): Somewhat of a cross between Puyo Puyo & Puzzle Bobble. You line the blocks up like Compile's series, but you can hold the chain until later ala PB. You hit the C button before a piece locks down to link it to one of your chains. The CPU opponents start getting tough around stage 4 (Jurado).
Skyrim: Took the Imperial Legion side on the Civil War. Time to defend Whiterun. After this I'll have the DB & main quest lines to take care of.
Totally random, but I had the urge to hook up the TG16 CD setup, and I grabbed my stack of 6 or so CD games to find the one I wanted to play. Let's see, Sapphire, Gates of Thunder, Forgotten Worlds...no! Let's play FIGHTING STREET!!!!!!!!!!
I know, this game is terrible, but I like popping it in once in a while. After getting my ass kicked by Gen (I've never beaten him) I looked up the code for easy specials. I mean, it's not really cheating right? If the controls worked properly I could pull of Ryu's specials in a second anyway! This really makes the game stupidly easy, but considering how impossible the game is due to bad control, I don't feel bad at all.
To continue my bad game trend, I unplugged the Turbo and hooked up my 3DO R.E.A.L. Interactive Multiplayer! I'm not going to play the good games like Wing Commander of Need for Speed, no. I'm going to try some of the shitter games that was included with the bundle that I haven't touched yet. Family Feud here I come!
Some fellas on Sega-16 are talking about the 3DO and how great Quarantine is. I seem to vaguely remember that game, but I don't recall much about it.
DID SOMEONE SAY 3DO?
Quaretine was pretty awesome for its time. Its a bit framey. Ok, perhaps a but more than framey. You had open cities that you could freely roam around in your hover cab of death and either pick people up to earn money, or just mow em down. What more could you ask for? Controls that didnt make you contort your hand in awkward ways to hold this button while you push that direction and then hit another button in order to shoot out your window, maybe. It wasnt the most elegant of pc ports.
Oh, and Family Fued? Lol, have fun with that..
Jesus Christ, Family Feud was unplayable. After a few minutes of pain I played Total Eclipse and Super SF2 instead.
I've got Quarantine and haven't played it yet. Maybe that will be the next game I pop in.
This is a great port! Too bad it's of a completely terrible game. Still, I really like the music and have fond memories of doing impressions of the post-fight garbled speech with a friend and laughing our asses off.Quote:

The insurance fraud missions are an absolute riot.
I guess I'm going to try Halo Reach tonight since I got a free download of it. Haven't played Halo since 3 (besides Wars, which I don't really count as a Halo game). Hopefully it doesn't suck, but if it does I won't be upset. Also, time to replay Fable 3.
halo is a fun gun game.
