[The Take Out Bandit]

Worst marketing campaign ever. I didn't own a PS at launch, but seriously, why even bother when you had to spend a minute encrypting the motto. Not exactly a good way to start a brand IMO, but in the end result, all that didn't matter.

I give them points for creativity.

Whenever I saw the banner for it at the Kay-Bee, I was like "You are Note?!" Then many months passed and it finally dawned on me.

I appreciate that sort of weird shit that makes me think. Yeah, it's not TITS, ASS, TITS, ASS - BUY OUR BEER/CAR/SMOKES.

Anyhow - Toshinden bashers step the hell off! It was a lot of fun at the time, and as much shit as I'll take for saying it, I wish someone would have continued with TSD style 3D fighters with magic moves and 3D movement instead of copying Sega's staple. Ten years ago Toshinden sold me on a PS for what it did differently, and I enjoyed that.

Toshinden 2 was the height of the series. Toshinden 3 went horribly wrong by totally apeing Namco's shitty Tekken character model swapping antics to artificially inflate the roster - He's got Kayin's moves, but looks like Michael Jackson! OOER! WTF?!

And Wipeout! OMG - Wipeout is still the best looking game in the series you guys.

I bought my PS used off some friend of a friend with 13 shitty games (Sports games, WWF game, MK:T, Ass Combat and other awful shit) which I promptly traded in for Wipeout and Toshinden.

Ah - the good old days of working at Software Etc. and pimping the Saturn much to the chagrin of the customers who wanted the Nogame-o 64 and were too full of "Old School" pride to invest in a Playstation. Fortunately Sega's bad business practices soured me on the company after they arsed the Saturn's US software selection and prematurely terminated it's lifespan.

Thank you Sony, may I have another?
