    CD-I

    in General Gaming Discussion

    Posted

    It's kind of a platfomer in that you can jump like normal.

    I really like Hotel Mario, its got a really clever concept and the level design is great.

    The cutscenes are pretty painful but memorable :heh:

    "Mario: You know what they say, all toasters toast toast!"

    One of my favourite places was the hardbrick hotel.

    And of course the place with the Elvis goombas

    I was wondering if anyone else here has a Phillips CD-I?

    When I was young my dad had one and got tons of games cheap for it as some part of a deal or something, so I played quite a fair bit.

     

    The console has been mainly well know for the failure it was and the critcism it gets, especially the Zelda games for it. Well although I agree they are bad compared to the proper Zelda games, I didn't find them so shitty that they are totally unplayable. They were just... odd is the word(heck practically every game on the console is ODD). And certain parts (especially cut scenes) were painful. If anyone has any questions please fire away.

     

    Here's a list of all the games I think we have

    The 7th Guest

    The Apprentice

    Battleship

    Burn: Cycle

    Caesar's World of Boxing

    Caesar's World of Gambling

    Skies of Arcadia Official Thread

    in General Gaming Discussion

    Posted

    Hey.. never really played a proper RPG before and I have the opportunity to get Skies of Arcadia for £19.99, a chance I may never get again.. I've always been put off games of this nature because of turn-based fighting and random battles as they do not really appeal to me, but maybe I just haven't given that a chance..

     

    ..any advice please?

    I'd never really played a proper RPG before Skies of Arcadia and now I love them(+ it remains my favourite). Go for it!

    Songs you find depressing?

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    Enya - Braveheart Theme

    Yaida Hitomi - Over The Distance

    TQ - Westside

    Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere

    Lighthouse Family - High

    Robbie Williams - Angels (Hmm I dunno if i'd call it depressing, just generally emotional)

     

    Despite being depressing, they all can make me feel really good at times though. Some of them aren't really depressing songs I guess, it's just certain memories they bring back can make me feel down.

     

    Game music wise:

    Shenmue - Wish

    Shenmue - Memories of Distant Days

    Shenmue - Tears of Seperation

    Shenmue II - Morning Fog's Wave(orchestra)

    Ocarina of Time - Lon Lon Ranch

    Ocarina of Time - Title Theme

    Tales of Symphonia - Dry Trail

    Official Wii Boxart Thread

    in Nintendo Gaming

    Posted

    Why do none of the xclusive games on the wii have 'only on' writtion on the box art. Like on excitetruck and red steel box art they don't have on that symbol.

    Not only do I prefer it not being there, but also you have to bare in mind that any game on the Wii isn't going to be on other consoles, in terms of exactly. Yes there'll be games like Need for Speed on all three, so it isn't an exclusive, but as it will play (and look) differently on Wii, it makes sense that nothing should need an 'only for' logo.
