Re: 3DS - Who's getting one?

I think it blows New Super Mario Bros away just for the fact that I haven't argued with my girlfriend over dying because of her... yet! ;)

Seriously though, glad you're liking it. I think it's the best 2 player platformer in eons. Possibly, ever.

Re: 3DS - Who's getting one?

Unsure as of now.

I haven't bothered with my DS for years. I think I've had it with handheld gaming. But the 3D angle could sway me.

Still loving Donkey Kong Country Returns to care right now!

Re: Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

For the heck of it I played both the Renegade arcade and NES version the other night. I had forgotten how hard(yet in some ways quick and easy) Renegade is. The whole 1 life in the arcade version with no continues is bizarre. I like how the NES tried to make it a bit longer, and more interesting. T...

Re: Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

Wait, you worked on ZXS game design? Very cool! I didn't even know there had been two spectrum versions, usually I just see retro coverage of the other one. There is only one official DD for the Spectrum; the crummy one you brought up. Swainy was / is working on a new version just as a fan What oth...

Re: Article for the 10th Year Anniversary of the Dojo!

Sorry about the wait, folks. There was a bit of a mix up on my part with e mail addresses. Rest assured, it's being resolved!

Re: Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

The Amiga 32 was Commodore's last effort in taking on the Nintendos and Segas of the world, who had pretty much taken over by that point. It was a 32 bit system that used CDs and tipped to be a big deal but ultimately failed due to lack of interest and absolutely appalling software (edit - actually ...

Re: Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

Er, where to begin... Cassette based games lasted so long because they were just cheaper than the alternatives. Plus it helped costs given that there were some many formats back then. Target; Renegade is official in the sense of Ocean had the rights to make their own sequel. I'm guessing Taito of Am...

Re: Sequels To Renegade..or River City Ransom?

This has all been brought up in the past one way or another but I like the way you tell it. First of all, Shin Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun - Kunio Tachi No Banka is awesome and should be played by all.

Re: Double Dragon Neo Geo...one of the best DD games?

Can't say I think it's much cop at all and can probably think of five third party (as in not by Capcom, SNK, Sega or someone) one on one fighters that I prefer. Sorry.
