Re: Summer Games Challenge 2015
I'm slightly worried that Willy Beamish might suck. I got a game over after pretty much the first choice I was given to make. Huh.
Outrun Coast 2 Coast seems awesome. I'm not sure how to beat it though. There's a bunch of different modes.
Mostly concentrating on Call Of Duty first though. Great game.

Re: Summer Games Challenge 2015
Bleh, haven't made much progress since I've been sick for the last 2-ish weeks :/ Even when I have been playing Super Mario Bros 2, I only got to World 2 after ~ 1 hr.
Of course, now that I'm not sick I can't continue with it unless I want to emulate and start over... I was playing it on the Wii U but I won't have access to it until August. So I need to find another game to play.
I guess I could play Silent Hill? That's the only game I have that's a classic and I don't have to emulate... But god I have so much trouble with the controls in that game ><; I'll have to think about it I guess...

The game takes some getting used to, as certain things differ from conventional adventure games. Save often and make numerous saves. You can make mistakes that are irreversible and don't take affect until much later in the game, which is a huge problem for the game.

It's from a very different design era and it shows. That's why I recommended playing it with a guide. The joy in this game comes from seeing the wacky story unfold and the awesome animation and background artwork. Honestly it's a better cartoon show than a game.

Looking forward to your reactions to the Russian campaign.
PLAY KING'S FIELD.
Re: Summer Games Challenge 2015
System Shock 2
In my last post, I was most of the way through Deck 5, and Deck 6 was incredibly short in comparison despite all of the backtracking it required. I have now left the Von Braun and am on board the UNN Rickenbacker. SHODAN wants me to destroy black eggs that the Annelids have created as some kind of new weapon. SHODAN has also declared me her avatar, but I have found a message claiming she is working on some kind of faster-than-light drive engine. So far so good, I'm still using the wrench as my primary weapon, but I switch out to my guns when I need them. My pistol is now regularly loaded with rounds for robots, while I use the assault rifle and standard ammunition for destroying security cameras. The shotgun shreds the spiders, and the grenade launcher is now powerful enough to waste just about everything in a single hit. I've established tactics for everything I fight, and for the most part I'm doing well. Only the spiders frustrate me, because toxin seems so overpowered.
So far, so good. Even though I'm outnumbered and they're throwing hordes against me, I've got the Annelids on the run. As usual in a horror game, I find I'm the scariest bastard around. All of my enemies are trapped on this ship with me.

Have you been marauded by a pack of rumblers yet?

Nope, but I have a few surprises for those guys when they finally try it. Single rumblers go down easy enough with a couple grenades at this point, and I have yet to test how well incendiary grenades work on them.
Also, is there any point to the Mini Map on the Rickenbacker?

Uhhhh....I am sorry to hear that the SNK Classics version of this game is so bad. It looks like I will be playing this one on MAME after all (when I put it on my summer gaming challenge list next year...or swap it in for something on this year's list).
.....
Also, I thought that the difficulty had spike up in Shining Force II. I was wrong. The game does not give you much direction, and I simply skipped ahead a few battles. Now, my characters are radically over-powered. It is a fun game, however, and I am enjoying it.

Another weird quirk is that you can't see your initials when you input a high score unless you change the screen configuration to "vertical" mode..... Of course the game is nigh unplayable this way.
I'd still recommend that compilation though. It contains games that never received console ports like Marvin's Maze, Psycho Soldier, Sasuke vs. Commander, Search & Rescue, and a few others...
The Korean version can be found for cheaper than the Japanese one. And from what I can tell it's identical (all game/menu text is still in Japanese, it's just the instructions and text on the box art that have been changed to Korean).
