What if Sega had pulled the plug on the Sega Saturn so that they could "concentrate" on 32X games? :lol:

What if the Sega Dreamcast had been region-free and backwards-compatible with all Sega Saturn games? :shock:

What if someone were to discover a hack to play Xbox 360 games on the PS3 (or vice versa)? :shock: :shock:

What if the original Xbox had experienced all the technical issues that the 360 suffered from??

What if Halo 4 came out and nobody cared?

What if the next Mario game is announced as a first-person shooter based in WWII?

What if Gran Turismo 5 gets delayed ANOTHER FUCKING YEAR!?

What if Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo all "go green" and the next generation of game systems are all solar powered?

What if Microsoft said "fuck it" and bought both Sony and Nintendo? :shock: :shock: :shock:
"Welcome to the circus of values!"

Currently Playing: Crysis (360), Destiny demo (PS3), Roadblasters (MAME)

What if ... game ratings over 15+ didn't exist? (I read about it yesterday and I found it hilarious)

Atkinson is responsible for maintaining Australia's status as the only Western country without a "Mature" rating for video games

Oh, I assure you that Christians have made good games-- just not for Wisdom Tree or any other Christian game publishers, and not necessarily Christian-themed.

Unless you count Spiritual Warfare. I actually consider that one to be a good game.

Oh, that one is true, actually. It's sort of like saying "What if bean sprouts didn't taste good" or something.


Yeah, that was a joke referencing their advertising campaign from a few years back.

Yes, but your choice in belief in God and lack of desire to play any religious-themed game doesn't mean that they're games are bad. Spiritual Warfare is actually a pretty decent Zelda-clone, one that I had a lot of fun with the few times I played it. And I don't care for heavily-Christian overtoned material either, but it was a genuinely fun game.

Consider it like watching Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter. It's reached a point where it's just overly funny.

Well, if all those occur, then you'll be gay and a god you don't believe in will dislike you, but you'll still have a new game to enjoy, so I suppose it's not a total loss. :wink:

Either way, give it a shot in an emulator, and if you don't like it, at least you tried it so you can say for a definite fact that it isn't your thing. But if you still want a pseudo-Zelda fix, there's always Crusader of Centy for the Genesis(and it's not a religious game).
