The gap between release of super mario bros 1 on NES and mario world on SNES is only 5 years, ridiculous the leap in quality in that time.

The new BoI DLC is great, feels like a complete rework of the whole game with lots of the old items given revamps that make them much more useful. One of the chief joys remains mutating your baby into comical grotesques, however.

I’m very much enjoying disco elysium on ps4. A few bits have had me giggling to myself. The titles of the dick mullen books in the bookshop for one. The narration is spectacular.

Its a little word heavy though, I can see myself maybe losing interest at some point because it just makes me sleepy listening to it. Like a bedtime story

I think it’s worth going into options and turning some of the narration off. Nowt wrong with the new voice acting, but it does slow the game down a lot. I just have the skills’ voices off.

Turns out I’ve got two EA accounts with actual paid for games on both for some reason (likely reason: I’m an idiot), so some poor support person is going to have to deal with my request to please merge the accounts of “Epimer” and “Bumsnogger”

My shovel knight was named bumsnogger

I played about half an hour earlier. Controls are slightly irking me but it’s got plenty of promise.

Yeah kind of enjoy it, it’s fun swimming around and discovering new things but… it’s just collecting things. Basically the myth of sisyphus but underwater. Dont think I get these games.

It goes places - I suggest sticking with it - the start is really quite slow.

Bought Hitman 2 for the ps4, they’ve really not made it smooth to port over your hitman 1 stuff. Miami is great so far though.

Think in due course their business model of buying year-long exclusivity and giving games away for free will be remembered in the same vein as Film4oD.

Do you have any idea how much they make per day through Unreal and Fortnite?

They are very much running EGS as a lossleader for the foreseeable

Honestly Mega Man 2 - 6 hold up. The first one is rough. Apart from that… The first Zelda maybe?

Edit - just read that you tried 2. You are beyond saving.

Found a bunch of my oldest gaming stuff emptying out my Dad’s house yesterday. Also turned up a bunch of old gaming mags including Sega Pro and several very early issues of Edge.

The Master System is working fine! Lots of the games are missing that I owned but nice to have a snapshot of that era.

I find it fascinating that sega back ported certain games from the megadrive to the master system like streets of rage and sonic. I wonder what they are like

Could spend a happy afternoon browsing that stuff

Streets of rage and Golden Axe are fairly crap. Not the worst games ever but threadbare versions that lose a lot of what makes the Mega Drive games great.

Neither game was 2 player, the music hugely suffered and the main sprites are about 1/4 size.

Sonic and Sonic 2, whilst less visually striking, are actually better on MS to me than MD, have replayed both in the past year. They play more methodically and less speedy, so you actually feel more in control.

Lots to be said for both versions, for differing reasons.

Find it more insane that this existed:
