Happenstance

@Goafer is probably a good person to answer that. Never been my series.

I have a feeling I never played the Driver games because I didn't like the fact that you couldn't get out of the car. I must have seen them after playing GTA III and just associated them with that.

Not as much as a nightmare as say the wrestling games we've spoken about recently, licensed games can still get re-released but it is tricky. I don't think it was ever popular enough that people would bother trying.

Just ordered Driver 1 and 2. Felt like I should get them as I’ve never actually played anything from the series before.

They were quite different but the early Smackdown games were still fun. I loved playing Smackdown 2 with friends. They’ve just lost their way as they’ve gone on. Tried to make everything more realistic instead of fun.

You know, what’s most impressive about these AKI wrestling games is just how well they hold up. I would much rather play a modern wrestling game in this engine than the crap we get these days.

Thought I’d play some N64 games on the emulator on my GPDXD. Put No Mercy on and immediately got my arsed kicked Need to get some practice in!

I haven't watched the video yet but I'm not sure how much I trust it. Pretty sure Sonic never had a beard...

I'll probably reactivate my Network subscription later this week. Wrestlemania actually looks like it should have some pretty good matches this year. 7 hours though seems too long.

I really wish the PC Star Trek games were more readily available to play digitally. There are quite a few that I'd love to play again but its not easy. I own a few but I don't even have a DVD drive on my PC anymore so if I want to play them I have to hook up my external drive. GOG did some work a few years ago to get some of them but that seems to have stalled again. I might try and get hold of some of the console versions over time I guess.

Managed to get another copy of Croc off eBay, this time for PS1. I must replay it! Greatest 3D platformer of all time!

Trying to think of my other shameful moments... I didnt complete Super Mario Bros on the NES until 2 or 3 years ago.

I'm still annoyed that the reason I bought my 3D pad (Croc), isnt coming anymore!

For anyone who hasnt seen them: Model 1 Model 2 3D pad

I don't think I've ever tried using the model 1 controller, as far as I know @Goafer only had the model 2 one but I think I prefer the design of the model 1.

I think the difference for me is that I have played the majority of these games before and am mostly just rebuying. Even the ones I’ve never owned before I’ve mostly still played. That leaves things like Grandia free to take a good amount of my attention.

Despite having all these games coming that I want to play, some of which are RPGs, I just got finished watching a top 10 battle themes video and as soon as Persona 4's came up I was right back wanting to replay it yet again. That game really does have a hold over me that few other games have.

I doubt I’ll go see Ready Player One at the cinema but I’ve heard enough positive buzz that it’s just harmless buzz that I’ll definitely watch it when it comes out elsewhere.

I will do eventually just to have them as part of my collection but I never enjoyed playing that series so I'm in no rush. Annoyingly though, I just got an email from CEX to say that they couldn't find a copy of Croc for the Saturn for me so I cant have that. Thing is though, its still in stock on their site but the price has gone up...

Ok, last purchase for a while... I don't think it was a good game but I have good memories of playing this Star Wars game and kind of wanted to play it again. Only a couple of quid so if it doesn't live up to my memory I'll be fine.

I've just been using Plasti-kote primer for mine but I'm thinking about switching over to Rustoleum's version as I got some of their normal spray paint and it turns out quite nicely.

Yeah. As long as CEX stand by their listings then I shouldn't have any Platinum versions of games coming to me yet either. Never been a big fan of them.

Yeah to be honest if it wasn't for the vouchers I would be ordering elsewhere and will be from now on. The one good thing I have noticed about CEX though is the prices. Double checking stuff on eBay things go for a lot more on there.
