Random Gaming Thoughts
Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I was in high school when that album came out and it was all over the place. Numb and Lemon were stylistic departures at the time.

The Hyperkin Genesis and SNES clones have been great for me. Looks and sound just fine. I'm pretty surprised.

Playing Star Wars: Empire at War, and I can't shake how novel it is that this game feels "retro" to me now
2006 was only four years prior to me joining and becoming a regular here
during the good ol' days of retro collecting, before the bubble
take me back - please

Having just played through this, I know exactly what you mean. But it's been over 15 years since release. It's amazing and disturbing how time flies.
Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
Anyone mess around with the newly released Goldeneye for either the Xbox or Switch?
I don’t have game pass so I had to get the digital version of the Rare Replay collection. I already had some of the games from the collection: three Banjo’s and Perfect Dark classic from the 360 era. I was able to add the two Viva games I wanted to get.
Anyway, Goldeneye. Modern controls, stable frame rate. Being late back memories. No online multiplayer though. It isn’t the leaked XBLA game from a couple of years back but I’m fine with that.
Crazy how the N64 is living it’s best life since retirement on the Xbox.

The Switch version has online multiplayer. I've seen a couple of YT videos pop up in my feed about it, mostly negative stuff.
Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
Yeah I’ve seen some negative stuff too. Switch has horrid controls but online multiplayer. Cheat codes work.
Xbox has no multiplayer but better controls, up to 4K visuals. Flip side is that graphical issues crop up with suck a high resolution. Cheap codes don’t work. Have to unlock them through the levels.
It’s all over the place. Wish it was the canceled XBLA version all around. Ohh well. Still cool!

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I still prefer the N64 version. Funny enough was playing this just a little bit the other day (already had the N64 hooked up and just decided on some late night run-throughs). Then this was announced a few days after that.

I played through the first level on 00 agent on Xbox. It is a basic release. Runs at probably a better overall frame rate than N64 (still 30 FPS) and has more modern controls. I didn't even change the defaults, the twin stick setup they have is good enough for me. Overall, it's disappointing because I played the leaked XBLA version a couple years ago on an emulator. It has new graphics, ran at 60 FPS, and had a lot of love put into it.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I miss the days when videogames were about starting the game and any one in the family could join the fun.
Now you have to dig through manuals and on screen menus to figure out how to operate this thing.
Maybe the last console to do this was the Wii where any one can hold the wiimote and play Wii Sports
