TNL Game Club: March, 2013

It's ugly as sin, but the game is fun. I can do that, too!

I really wanted to try Megaman Legends, but it seems that the disc is not in the case, and I have no idea where it may be since I got the game when it was fairly new, but I only played it once. Dammit. I did find some other PS1 games on the list, all of which I have played maybe once, and then went on the pile of shame.

Resident Evil 2: Okay, this game is the source of my RE hate. I got it when KB was clearing out PS1 games, played it once, hated the controls, and never touched another RE game again until a friend convinced me to get the lovely RE4. Maybe I needed to give this game another chance, it has a lot of fans. So, I popped it in, played as Leon, and got as far as the police station. The controls, although horrid, don't bother me as much this time, but I'm just not feeling it. When I can't take anymore I replace the disc with...

Einhander: Like RE2, I got this when it was fairly new and played it once, but I did like the game. I sucked at shooters though, so it was a little too brutal for me. Fortunately, I'm much better at the genre now. I was playing on a PSOne screen, so that may help, but the game really does look fantastic for a PS1 game. It took a bit for me to get the hang of the mechanics, but I'm really enjoying it, especially the boss fights. I love games where you have a huge boss and you blow him away piece by piece, forcing him to change his tactics and patterns.

While waiting to see if I can win an auction tonight for the game I really want to play,

This didn't work out. I was hoping to snag a cheap copy of Heart of Darkness, but it went for more than I wanted to pay. Time to peruse the lists again.

edit: I think I'm going to join Joust on Thief with some more of those shooters mixed in.

[Mzo]

That game is like $10-15, how cheap did you want it to be?

[Yoshi]

$10 shipped. I wish it were on PSN/GOG, as I really don't want more physical PSone games. Thus, the low price point.

I just started Brave Fencer Musashi.

All PS1 games look terrible now!

Radiant Silvergun -this is the month to finally play all the way through the XBLA edition, still can't believe I slept on this back in 98'

You know, I didn't think the slight input lag on PS3's PSX emulation would be noticeable, but it totally is. It's really messing with me. Methinks it's time to get the ol' SD tube on again.

[GohanX]

It's not just the TV, the PS3's PS1 emulation lags on a CRT SDTV as well. I discovered this when I played Umjammer Lammy for the first time on real hardware after only having played it on PSN.

[ChaoofNee]

But luckily, I have a PStwo waiting to use!

I just wish I had a legit PSone memory card and not these unreliable off-brands.
