Re: What was the last movie you've seen?

The Warriors - 5/10 - Not as great as i was hoping it would be. Perhaps if i had seen it when i was a little kid I would have gotten more out of it. But watching it for the first time just now, it comes across as silly and amateurish. Also, why does a gang that calls themselves The Warriors spend th...

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?

Last night i watched The Great Silence, an old spaghetti western from 1968. Overall, it was a good story with a solid ending way ahead of its time. However, most of the rest of the film was definitely dated by today's standards. Overall, I'd give it a grade of B-.

Re: What was the last movie you've seen?

I saw a few movies recently: Mission Impossible 4. I'm surprised how much i liked it. It was really exciting. The scenes outside of the Burj Khalifa skyscraper were really well done. 30 Days of Night. Another movie that pleasantly surprised me. It was nice to see a vampire movie that isn't about emo...

review of Prince of Persia (sega CD)

EDITED to include a more descriptive review as requested: Graphics: For a sega cd game, pretty typical. Slighter better than genesis visuals during the actual gameplay, with some nice animated cut scenes and voice acting thrown in to take advantage of the cd format. Perhaps there could have been a b...

Re: Atari Lynx advice

I had a lynx and gameboy back in the day.

Honestly, there are only a handful of games that are worth playing on the lynx. It was a bit of a disappointment.

Re: Is the Genesis sound chips one of the best matches for music

I have more fond memories of genesis music, but the SNES definitely sounded clearer and sharper. like others have already mentioned, i thought the soundtracks to the streets of rage and sonic games were fantastic. i can't think of any SNES games that had tunes that were as catchy as those. but to be...

Re: Why do we still play retro games?

i haven't read all 12 pages of responses, so forgive me if i've repeated something someone else said: I enjoy retro gaming because as i've gotten older i've learned to appreciate what makes a good game, and it isn't state of the art graphics or dolby digital surround sound. it is gameplay and fun. t...
