hah, I should have left well enough alone, but alas, I'm an attention whore.
IGN Retro has been doing well now that the ball is rolling. Levi's done some pretty interesting features, that Tomb Raider piece they did was pretty good... There's room for improvement, but it's a better start than most people gave IGN credit for.

I was ready to complement you on an excellent read, but things got bumpy for me on the third page.Originally Posted by Frogacuda
just to knitpick:
in the scope of things it doesn't matter, but from your wording it sounds like you're saying CD-I ('91) and PC-Engine CD-ROM ('88) came out at the same time.
And an actual real error: Sewer Shark was not a pack-in with the launch Sega-CD. Sherlock Holmes, Sega Classics Arcade Collection, Sol Feace and some CD+G crap were pack-ins with the Oct '92 front loading system. Sewer Shark was a pack-in a year or two later with the top-loader.

So much ****ing semen.
wait, Levi Buchannon? where do i know that name from? Gamefan?
Yeah, him. He's the Editor in Chief of the retro channel.
God dammit, you're absolutely right. I remember the Sol Feace pack-in, but I read a site that said it was Sewer Shark and just forgot about that and didn't question it. Bah.
Sol Feace being probably the worst title ever.
Certainly the worst showcase for CD-ROM technology, at least. I like the game, but it was nearly identical to (even slightly downgraded) the X68000 floppy disk game.
Just sounds like "Sun Shit".

I sure hate how if its "retro" it should have the Atari design style. So many choices, and they go with that ugly crap.
Barf! Barf! Barf!
