the Sigma is one hell of a torture of a game. best of them is Black.Ninja Gaiden Sigma dropped recently on Gamepass and I hopped into it and that game gets punishing out of nowhere

I beat Double Dragon 1 and 2 on NES. Never played three. The arcade version was horrible.
I could never land in Top Gun. Definitely one of the most difficult games on the consoles. But there are many.

I was only able to land consistently many years later in the university. got the old console with me and the game. a geek friend of mine taught me the trick. but man, the stages gets tough after Stage 2. lots of missiles. no, I wasn't able to finish the game. too tough for me.

That game was usually on discount for as low as $7.99 back in the day. My pops wanted to get it for me but I had rented it a few weeks before and said “no thanks”. I could never land the plane so I quit after a few times and went outside to play.

other than the landing, it was awesome for a simulation aircraft game.

PS3 and PS5 being "pretty much the same thing" is a wild statement lmao. Yeah the graphic jumps aren't nearly as advances as before, but I don't see how anyone that owned both can say that lmao.

Nah. I disagree with that opinion with regards to the console. the capability of the PS3 won't be so efficient nor sufficient as to handling the extensive real-world interactive environment that a PS5 could with the newer games. although I would have agreed if the comparison was that to the PS4 vs. the PS5. people might be playing the same game but there is definitely a difference as far as the gamer experience is concerned in terms of visuals.

There was definitely a bias against 2D for a while back in the day. Game Players was the biggest offender. Game Fan was the only mag to not go hardcore anti 2D that I read.
Remember Castlevania SOTN getting only okay reviews from a few places. Funny how games like it are still played today. Most of the blocky looking 3D mess from the PS1/Saturn era are long forgotten.

It’s tough to play PS1 era 3D games today.
Street Fighter 3, Alpha 2, Yoshi’s Island, SoTN all look amazing today.

there was definitely bias. I prefer the colorful 2d Sprites over the empty 3D environment in the late 90s. 3D was still in it's infancy and even during the PS3/XBOX 360 era, it was still showing some limitations of 3D modeling. intricate details were not that yet mainstream nor the availability of better 3D modeling softwares were almost non-existent. added that hardware limitations is also a factor.
before, it was amazing to see those 3D games. looking back now, you can clearly see how outdated they are and almost make someone lose appetite for playing such old 3D games. I still have old 3D games which I haven't played and depending on how they would look and perform on-screen if I'm going to keep them in storage or not.

oh goodness, can't even imagine playing NBA Live, Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive, Resident Evil 1,2,3 , Final Fantasy 7,8,9,X , Metal Gear Solid, Nascar now. even PS2 games look outdated. just look at God of War on PS2. anyway, I'm just glad that they have remastered some of the classics.

I love FF7 to death. but I have to agree, it looks so dated now. especially with the remake being out. the remaster don't even looked that good. someone did an unofficial mod and it looked acceptable.
