Sabrewulf and Underwurlde are now complete. Sabrewulf is pretty fun, but Underwurlde is shit. It's been really interesting going back and playing games I never got a chance to before.

I thought it was awesome (and surprising) that they talk about DS Viva Piñata in one of the unlockable videos.

Me too.
 
Awesome collection. missed out on most of these when they came out.

Is the first viva piñata worth playing? Heard the sequel is pretty much the same game just improved.

I don't understand how to patch the hole in the second Lunar Jetman snapshot.


...which I suppose means I don't understand how to patch holes in Lunar Jetman in general. Help?

Press B by you car to get out a bridge. Press B over a hole to drop it in.

Get the patch material from the rover itself, stand in the middle of the rover and press B or X I think?

Aaaahhh, it was always IN the computer!

oh my god I actually beat atic atac. That took like 3-4 hours. I cant believe you have to do this 3 times for an achievement/milestone

It's easier the second and (especially) third times through. Even though item positions change you should know the layout of the mansion by now.

Good to see some people enjoying old spectrum games. Ultimate/Rare were just the tip of the iceberg during the 1980's UK computer scene. The heady era of colourclash and beeper music.

Seriously, I'm surprised by how well Kameo holds up, from the gameplay, to the graphics to the absolutely sublime music.

Kameo was always a looker, in my opinion. The art style and gameplay are both very interesting. By the time you are at the end, the progression is so good in that it forces you to use all of these abilities that you have been learning throughout the game.. Really cool the way the whole game flows.

I played some Perfect Dark Zero multi last night for the first time and I have a hell of a time keeping my aim on anyone. I think I have to tweak the sensitivity a bit to get that one to play right.

Do I win a prize for talking about my penis on the Internet???
I would just like to say the 360 remastered Perfect Dark is still the best game ever.

I played the original Battletoads a minute ago, and holy fuck, I would never make it past the ice level if it weren't for rewind/unlimited lives. The levels just keep getting more brutal too! hahaha
 
Didn't the hate for Ghoulies mostly come from angered Nintendo fans after the Microsoft buyout? Including all the other Xbox games Rare made before Kinect Sports.

I recall a lot of people not being excited for it simply because it didn't look like a game for them. Not one of Rare's big franchises.

I would love to say that I beat Battletoads legit but I am absolutely going to abuse rewind and unlimited continues.

Any word on when the control patch for Jet Force Gemini and framerate patch for Nuts & Bolts may be coming?

(I'd assume Nuts n' Bolts will probably be improved by a combination of a title-specific patch and the general refinement of the X1's BC emulator throughout the next few months rather than a one-off software-specific patch, but one can hope.)

Playing through BK... 1080p/ no slowdowns and updated control scheme are a bliss, and makes me wish Conker received the same treatment :(

I've never finished Banjo Kazooie and I've tried two runs before on N64. got a really good feeling on my current 3rd run with this version. not using the horseshit N64 controller is a huge boon. waaay better framerate too
 
Cool to see everyone enjoying this. A PS4 gamer, I might take the plunge on a One this holiday if there's an attractive bundle/deal. This along with some of the upcoming stuff is really looking cool

As I recall, the justification was that Live and Reloaded is something reasonably attainable. The N64 game isn't anymore.
That's lame. Like I couldn't go to gamestop and buy a used copy of perfect dark zero or viva pinata...

It's just sucks that 8/10 of the milestones for that game require multiplayer, but since it's the n64 version, you can't play online.
