I have the Genesis Flashback and oh the emulation is horrible. The sounds on Sonic the Hedgehog are just ear splitting!
I never had a Genesis as a kid so I missed out on some really good games back then, but the SNES was enough for me at the time. Later on I did discover just how great games like Streets of Rage 2 and Gaiares actually were.
Speaking of Zelda clones, I played one game on a Genesis emulator back in college called Crusade of Centy. That one was pretty neat. Looked and played a LOT like Link to the Past.
As a kid I had the Milennium Falcon toy. Don't have it anymore, but you can't keep everything I guess.
I could never get into any Atari 2600 era golf game. Have you ever played the 2600 Mini Golf game? It looks like they tried to make a golf game out of Adventure graphics. The first golf game I ever really played much was the first NES Golf game. I got that for my dad back then. It's one of the few NES games he played, along with Rad Racer.
*sigh* ..Sylphy... :)
I don't really remember playing much of Forgotten Worlds in arcades, but Capcom sure likes to make reference to them in other games. As you said, Sylphy the hot shopkeeper appears in the Project X Zone games, as well as the Japan only Namco X Capcom. The two dudes from Forgotten Worlds are also playable in that game as well. Sylphy is also a shopkeeper in a really awesome Neo Geo Pocket Color game called SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters Clash. They even play her shop music from Forgotten Worlds in it!
Forgotten Worlds is also one of the first games to use Capcom's main means of currency, called Zenny. Other games and anime use that term, too, as it's just Japanese slang for pocket change, but I see Capcom using it the most. They even use it in games like Mega Man Legends and Zack & Wiki!
But the real question is who is the better arcade shopkeeper? Sylphy or Miyuki-chan from Ordyne? :)
I don't remember which collection it was. It was just a more complicated Battlezone with different weapons and readouts that probably looked more like a real tank's.
I don't think I'd want to fly or ride in one. Sounds rough. But I still like to look at them!
I loved this game as a kid. But then, I've always had an interest in biplanes for some reason.
I unplugged my PS3 to make room for my PS4 back in early 2017 and haven't played my PS3 since.
I haven't played my 360 since 2015! But I played it a lot for nearly ten years, so it had a good run.
