I saw this when it first came out on the PlayStation and kind of wanted to play it, but I never did. Still was burnt out on mascot platformers even though Klonoa renewed my faith in the concept by then. Speaking of which, someone told me the music in Punky Skunk sounds like Klonoa's music. Klonoa kind of looks like a skunk, too. He's the fourth lost Animaniac. :)
For some reason I wanted to play Ys 9 on the PS4. I'm glad I did because you get items if you have save data from Ys 8, which I also have on PS4.
My favorite character in Ys 9 is Raging Bull because she has pink hair and is really strong.
To this day, 1943 is one of my favorite shooters of all time. I downloaded it on the Switch because, hey, free game. I tried to request codes for the rest of the packs in Capcom Arcade Stadium, but was denied. Sometimes I get to review games I request, and sometimes I don't. I hope I can review Ghosts N Goblins Resurrection, but I haven't heard back from them yet so I'm not getting my hopes up.
I never played either of these, but would've liked to. Can't play all the games out there, you know?
I do have favorite characters in both these games, though. In Rival Schools, there is a school nurse who was kind of cool. And in one of the Bust-A-Groove games, there's a character named Burger Dog! They should team up and have their own game! :)
Yeah the SNES is when I really got into RPGs. FF4, FF6, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Lufia 2, and many more. It's weird that I'm not into RPGs hardly at all now. My younger self wouldn't have believed it!
I reviewed this for The Dallas Morning News back in the day. I remember the opening cinamatic being kind of funny, but the rest of the game was pretty bland as far as I can remember. The only 3-D platformers on the PlayStation I really liked were Spyro, Tail Concerto, and the Mega Man Legends series, but really 3-D platforming on the PlsyStaiton didn't get N64 caliber until Ape Escape came along (also one of my favorites). And that was nearly five years after the system launched!
I remember seeing Plotting/Flipull in many arcades when puzzlers like Tetris and Klax were big back then.
Rumor has it that Star Fox 64 was made with ideas Nintendo stole from Argonaut.
I didn't think the first Mortal Kombat movie was THAT bad. I never watched the cartoon.
I've seen the Tomb Raider movies. Only thing I remember now about the Angelina Jolie ones is that there is one scene where she punches a shark in the nose, and it runs away going "yipe yipe yipe!" Well, OK, the shark didn't go "yipe, yipe, yipe" in the movie, but it did that in my head.
I watched the new Tomb Raider movie fairly recently on television. It was OK I guess, but the only thing I remember about it now is that the lady who played Lara Croft must've been eating her spinach.
I played a little bit of Croc on a PSOne demo disc (remember those?) and I thought the controls were horrible, so I didn't mess with it after that. I've watched a lot of videos where people have fond memories of that game, though.
The story about Croc orginally being a Yoshi game is pretty interesting. Other things I've read indicate that Nintendo screwed over Argonaut in some ways, which wouldn't surprise me.
