Thanks, sir! I can't imagine how tedious or frustrating handling parking would be so I'm glad that it doesn't figure in my duties. I also can't imagine how bad your hip must feel. Ouch!
Good point. Forgot about that.
I loved the PS1 port of this game. I still have it just in case I feel nostalgic. I never had a problem with the artwork; it fits the tone and world of the game, not to mention the franchise as a whole.
I didn't see it on your list but I wonder if you ever played Star Trek 25th Anniversary. It's a mixture of adventure and flight simulator; that's my favorite in a genre that I admittedly am ignorant of.
Crowds just litter. It's disgusting but expected. I've spent the last 6 years of this job cleaning after athletic events and while there are some people who are responsible and dispose their trash properly, a lot of them take these venues for granted and are irresponsible. What can you do? I still can't get over kids who just won't flush a toilet or urinal.
I've finished GC before on PS2 with neither the armor or Zodiac as well. When I bought the HD trilogy, I saw it as an opportunity to do some things I didn't the last time (and I had long ago sold my PS2 copies) but I forgot just what a massive undertaking that would be. I forgot about the 2nd playthrough though. I'm at the last boss right now, too. I would just like to know what it feels like use the Zodiac or the RYNO. At this point, I've fully explored the desert and ice planets and all the arena challenges. The only thing I haven't done is the race levels; I HATE THOSE.
Speaking of that last frozen planet, I originally hated farming for moonstones. Those snowman enemies were bad enough but the dragons that pop out jack-in-the-box style scared the shit out of me.
This takes me back. I owned this back when I had a N64. I agree that it's a very good port. I even liked the PS1 and XBLA ports.
As far as why it hasn't been released digitally? Chalk that up to the fact that Midway Games no longer exists (well, technically its Netherrealm Studios now) so it may be a license rights issue. Never say never, I guess.
I really want Diablo III as well. If it plays as well as Torchlight on XBLA, it'll be great. I have X-Com on PS3 but I haven't played it yet.
Nice NES bundle! The Power Pad is one of the few NES peripherals I never bought or came into contact with whatsoever. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not.
I love that Zelda Collection GameCube disc. When I finally bought the console, I bought that along with it (for some reason, I never subscribed to Nintendo Power).
A Link To The Past was included on the Four Swords Adventures disc as a bonus.
Good list, although I could do without Tingle. I'm with you 100% on the Majora's Mask remake. I've never been able to get into that one based on the timer. I take my sweet ass time on these games. :)
Well, ODST is kinda scary when you factor that you're not a Spartan/Master Chief. I haven't played the game since it came out but I recall those fights being more intense for that reason. You had to be more careful in encounters. The most memorable fight I recall is a showdown with two Hunters and I was low on ammo; it took forever to beat them.
