Never played it, but the print ads in GamePro made a strong impression.

 

[Kacho]

Is this game ridiculously hard or am I misremembering?

 

[EerieArcade]

Never played this either but always wanted to. Added to my wishlist. No idea when I'll be able to squeeze it in!

 

[Germuso]

Play It, amazing cast.

It's super hard

Good ol tank controls too

 

[LiquidMetal14]

WOW

The emulation scene will be pleased as this is one of the harder games to run due to the backgrounds. Nice surprise.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Never played it, but the print ads in GamePro made a strong impression.

This one even better

 

[Skifi28]

Is this game ridiculously hard or am I misremembering?

The people that played it back then were quite hard, yes.

 

[Deerock71]

I ordered two physical copies so I can keep one sealed. No WAY am I going digital with this.

 

[Zacfoldor]

It came on many dics on PS1. I mean discs.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Well, faithful and very pleased. This is the best way to play this other than on a CRT. Very satisfied with the effort considering the low price.

I am not sure but I think I rubbed one out when I was a kid at the poster ad for this game when I was a kid

Edit: kidding before anyone takes it seriously... i think

 

[CrimsonTide]

$10 and stealth drop a forgotten gem? yes please

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Runs great on a handheld. Not sure if this was in question but I checked on PC and on an ROG Ally with Bazzite installed. Perfect. Can probably lock it down to low wattage for less battery consumption.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Reasonable options

 

[CrimsonTide]

Gears of War
Shinobi
MGS Delta

k. I will add Fear Effect to the week, NO MORE PLEASE

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

$10? I'm in!

 

[jshackles]

Widescreen? Hmmm is it cropped?

 

[MDSLKTR]

Cheers chief, I'll have a punt then.

 

[cireza]

It's Gematsu, not Gameatsu lol.

 

[TGO]

Any enhancements?
None, it just a PSX rom dump..

 

[Generic]

Is this game ridiculously hard or am I misremembering?

It has a lot of trial-and-error.

 

[ssringo]

Never played it, but the print ads in GamePro made a strong impression.

Sadly that's the ad for the sequel which isn't what was rereleased

Edit: not to say the first one was bad, its the better game imo. Just doesn't have the horniness of the sequel.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Sadly that the ad for the sequel which isn't what was rereleased

Shh

 

[Grildon Tundy]

This one even better

This is the first one I thought of, but it didn't come up in my search.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

It's Gematsu, not Gameatsu lol.

 

[Gojiira]

Second game literally has a scene with Rain getting tentacle bred….They need to remaster that game…
First two are legit classics regardless, great voice acting, awesome cyberpunk setting, pretty tough, Hana and Rain are underrated waifus

 

[naguanatak]

This one even better

Oh the world we used to live in. I miss those days...

 

[apocaliptic]

Had the game on PS1 one. Great game but short.

 

[yogaflame]

Reminds me again of 90's gaming. My PS1 has no rest. Always hot.

The best era of gaming especially 1998.

 

[Baemono]

I remember getting from a friend in middle school that found it too hard. Finished it, loved the multiple endings.

If it runs great on Switch I'll buy it

 

[trikster40]

Loved these back on PS1, still have my copies. Disappointed, no trophies?
