Together Retro: Populous

[Hobie-wan]

Not mine, but a fairly cheap and complete SNES Populus on ebay. $8 BiN shipped that I just came across.

[Whatever]

Going to have to pass on this title. Is it September yet?

This month should have been Ballz 3D.

Next year the plan is to do Ballz 3D all year long, playing as a different character each month. In December we'll mix it up a little and play the "Director's Cut" version for the 3DO.

Divine ftw! And we should have a tournament.

OK, I think maybe I'm Ballz'd out at this point. (Did oyu guys buy BAWLS in bulk too?)

[Ack]

(Did oyu guys buy BAWLS in bulk too?)

Actually, yes. BAWLS used to sponsor our semester game tournaments for the university computer gaming club I was in, so every year we served up a whole bunch of BAWLS drinks and gear. Good times.

Anybody gonna play next month?

Anybody gonna play next month?

yep. I'm torn between emulating the actual World Series 95 that was selected, or playing the PS2 World Series 2K3 that I own for PS2, as it was the LAST game in the series to still be called World Series. (Unless you count the World Series EDITION of 2K5). Though I like to play the version everyone else is playing, I kind of prefer playing something non-emulated when I can. Plus, the PS2 version looks really pretty, and I haven't really played much baseball games since NES/GB.

I think you need to emulate my friend.

I never realized they continued the series onto the ps2. I always consider the dreamcast versions the last Sega gasp since it was their own hardware.

I don't know dude. I've done a fair share of research. Both 2k3 and 2k5 got really excellent reviews. And the games look great on PS2. And to be honest, most Sega-made sports games I've picked up for PS2 have been pretty excellent.

Yeah , I meant to get the '95 experience. I'm sure the ps2 games are great - for sure.
