The only strategy guide I ever bought was for Pokemon Red/Blue. I used to go to CheatCC all the time and print out those guides for free 99.

the ps classic is a good idea

only one i'd be interested in is if they do a n64 one, i wouldn't hesitate picking that up

I need that ps classic..

Y'all would buy strategy guides?

I told this story before but I borrowed a FF7 Guide from this African dude with Polio named Kwame.

I held on to it for a while, I planned on giving it back. I ended up transferring schools but he would still send me messages on AOL IM asking when I was going to bring it back to him.

I might still have it

IMO, PS2 is the GOAT system.

PS2 WAS an excellent system. I agree.

This is nuts



The breakdown of the world record is very cool too

Well my mind is blown.

Yea, me and my father used to play this and move the ducks

There were an 'ish ton of terrible platform games in that 8/16 bit era. Most of the digitized 'Mortal Kombat' type ones were horrid.

Don't get me wrong, the game mechanics in SoR3 were greatly improved vs. SoR1 & SoR2. The running attack that improved with successive 'stars' made the 'walking' in SoR 1 & SoR 2 feel tedious as hell. Listen to the OST from 1 & 2 and then listen to the 'noise' from 3 - the former has aged really well while the latter is still horrid.

Good talk about all things, including music

What were the best myths about retro games?

I remember that street fighter April fool's joke.

Have you gotten around to playing this yet?

Game is deep, game is difficult.

Nice soundtrack

Played this on Genesis way back in the day. It had some cool elements with the crowd interaction and weapons but was lacking severely in the gameplay department. I remember it being one of the earlier 'digitized graphic' joints. The arcade version was slightly more fun than the console versions.
