I may have played Wolfenstien 3D back in '92. I'm not sure. If not in '92 I did soon after with my friend Mark on some old Pentium 75 PCs we got from somewhere. I had no money then, so we must've gotten them free from someplace. In any case, that was the only game I played around that time.
This week, I think, my handheld game will be the remake of the '92 Sega CD RPG Lunar: The Silver Star for PSP called Lunar: Silver Star Harmony. I've played it before, but on easy, and it was very easy. I think this time I'll crank it up a bit. I've played the opening battles already and I'm loving it. The music is really great and the PSP has really good sound.
For my console game on the weekend, I thought I'd play another handheld game but on the big screen, Kirby's Dream Land for GB. It's on the Kirby's Dream Collection I just bought for Wii. I'm sure I'll be playing games on Monday as well, so I guess I'll revisit Wolfenstein 3D on Xbox 360 for a bit too.
Here's some music I got today for my 1992 playlist:
The CDs are for my '92 playlist and are: Rage Against the Machine - self titled; Nirvana - Incesticide; Weird Al Yankovic - Off the Deep End; and Danzig III: How the Gods Kill.
The vinyl is just random stuff I got from the bargain bin at Shady Dog. From left to right: Blues Brothers - self titled, Kool & The Gang - Open Sesame, War - self titled, The Blues Project Live at Cafe Au Go Go, and Steppenwolf Live. I finally got my turntable hooked up. Now I just have to figure out if my PC can recieve the signal. I'm sure I'll get it to work.
I like Lunar, I really do, but the PSP port is weird. I don't like how the music turns off for a brief second when you go from map to map, like when you go into a shop, or the next screen of a dungeon, or whatever. It kinds of fades out and then fades back in. I found that really annoying.
I have it for my iPad, and it's more retro with the old graphics, but I haven't gotten too far yet.
I'd like to play it as it was when it came out. I know what you mean about the music. It's like the game need to load the next area everytime. Also, I've noticed that the music plays from the spinning UMD on the PSP during gameplay. Maybe it has to shut off to let the processor load the next area. If the game installed from the UMD completely, music included, to internal memory, I guess that fade-out problem wouldn't happen.
no, I think I had the digital version not the UMD version, and it still did that. 
Oh geeze.
Rage Against the Machine has such a great, unique sound. One of those bands that's basically their own genre of music.
I never really listened to them a lot, but I will check them out more now.
I used to be a fan of Rage Against the Machine. Altough I still love their musicianship and Tom Morello's guitar work, I really can't stand some of the lyrics anymore considering i've been getting more critical with liberalism (even if it's my primary political ideology) and getting even more resentful towards the left wing RATM's is part of. Then again, I still listen to Dead Kennedys, though maybe because atleast Jello Biafra has a sence of humour and knows how to convey satire in song lyrics and I guess I prefer it over Zach de la Rocha very direct and not so subtle take thats.
I have to listen to more of Rage. I don't know their lyrics much. Jello though, yea, I like his sense of humor. I've got to get more Dead Kennedies stuff. I loved his snarky performance of Viva Las Vegas. I heard that in the credits to the film Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and was an instant fan. The bass sound on that song is so great - just distorted all to heck like one of the speakers had blown out. Brilliant!
I'm getting more critical with liberalism too, Alex, even though, like you, I consider myself a liberal (kinda). I definitely generally disregard conservative ideology, but a lot of liberals I think are equally misinformed. As all things, I think moderation is key.
I love Lunar Silver Star Story. I got the original delux Working Designs port for PS1. I sadly have never finshed it because I got stuck. Something to do with a password and I think it is glitched. Or maybe I'm just thick and missing the obvious.lol
I think Rages first is their best. I really liked when Morello would dig into the jazz licks. He got carried away with all the noise effects crap over time, especially with his Audioslave stuff. Incesticide is proabably my favorite Nirvana album aside from Bleach. I am life long burned out on Nevermind and In Utero.
I just listened to a few tracks from Incesticide and I don't think I've ever listened to it before. Somehow missed that one.
Incesticide is strange, its more of an anthology of sorts, a collection of b-sides and stuff they did with their original drummer.
Ah. Interesting.
Oh that Weird Al album, I had it on cassette because I wanted Smells Like Nirvana, but there are other fun songs on there. One of my favorites was the Polka Your Eyes Out.
I love those Polka mashups he does with like dozens of then current pop songs. Really fun.
