so Project Spark is going to be free soon. I've heard the title but didn't even know what it is. It's like... Little Big Planet or something?

Yeah it's like 3D LBP. Build levels and give enemies little routines and whatnot. Seemed like a cool idea to me.

Anyone notice that a new Legend of Heroes game is quietly being localized?

PS3 and Vita. Special edition available.

Quite a few Parodius games got localised to Europe, but they are literally all called Parodius.


I have no idea which ones are which

Can anyone help me out?

I've read that already, but I feel no wiser.

For example, there is a Parodius for SNES, but there are 3 Super Famicom games in that article, none of which seem to mention a PAL release.

It also doesn't mention which game is in the Saturn release either. I think I've heard there are two?

I noticed that little bugger slip into my "you may like this" email about a week ago.

From what I could tell, the reviews were pretty good, so I'm seriously considering that special edition. I'm just waiting for a couple things to arrive in the mail so I can pay them off before I order anything else. I'll consider it a late birthday present to myself

The limited edition comes with case that has a spot holder for when the sequel comes out later too!

Omgg screw jjgames. I lose every single ebay auction to them. They bid snip every auction within the last 5 seconds. Just rediculous. Omgg just impossible to win anything at a decent price. Even for untested stuff.

I don't even bother with auctions. I just do buy it now. Thankfully I (generally) have inexpensive tastes.

So, having dug out all my old PowerPC Mac games I decided to go through the manuals and such. So many of these have full colour 30+ page books! I don't know why. I know how to play these games but, I still really like going through these old instruction manuals...

What type of stuff your going for, he probably won't bid more than half of what is worth. It can be frustrating but probably wasn't meant be if you look at it that way. But every single auction that's odd, hate to say it but you'll just have to go higher (within reason) he's definitely going by a reseller margin or backs off.

Sucks but that's just how it is man.

The short answer is that they're all Parodius Da! The more generous answer is that the SNES, NES and Game Boy games are each Parodius Da!, and the Saturn/PS1 version is a compilation of Parodius Da! and Gokujo Parodius.
