Lunar 2 is my favorite RPG on PSX. I still have both games with all the goodies Working Designs packaged with them. My favorite thing about these games was the way that talking to random NPCs would kick off entire conversations with your party.
That GBA remake is pretty dang good. Less tactical combat, but gorgeous sprites and a great script.
Mad Maestro was so good. It came out right around the time Mister Mosquito was released, and they were an awesome pair of quirky PS2 titles.
I prefer Gitaroo Man though, and I'll tell you why next week on MIA.
I'm really glad to read this. I think we're all a little shellshocked. Former 1uppers because they lost a gaming hub, and current PixlBitters because now we have an audience to talk to and try to entertain.
If there's a Capcom arcade game I want to see come back, it's Saturday Night Slam Masters.
This is glorious. Well done.
Did you ever play the Acclaim WWF games, Warzone and Attitude? People hate on them because of their Mortal Kombat-like move lists, but there were some ideas in that game that I'm still waiting to see revisited. You gained crowd heat for doing amazing moves, and lost it if you spammed the same stuff.
I remember fighting a match against Road Dogg and I had beaten him down so bad his life bar was completely empty. I was toying with him, doing my finishing move over and over. The crowd turned on me, started chanting for him, which gave him an attack multiplier. Suddenly, I was fighting for my victory, because he rallied a comeback that took me from full health to critical.
There's a moment towards the end of the game between Trip and Monkey that is one of the most poignant things I've seen in a video game. Really love this title.
We also offer wake up calls, hot towels, and a mint on your pillow.
