There is definitely something satisfying about owning retro consoles and games. But it’s hard and expensive to find them sometimes, so I’ve been going the emulator/ROM route lately. I’ve found SO many amazing games. I’m playing the old Monster Hunter PSP games right now. I even installed Mario 64 for nostalgia, and I’m actually shocked how advanced that game is for its time.
GT2 was one of the first racing games I ever got into. My old housemates and I would play for hours on end. That’s a great haul.
Gran Turismo 2? Ah man, the memories! Good find!
There was a simpsons wrestling game!?
Was also surprised. Looks very interesting!
@CheeseNoodle Hate to disappoint you both, but it’s best known for being extremely bad. Wikipedia includes this note:
The game was widely panned by critics, and has since been considered by many to be one of the worst video games of all time
It has a 32 on Metacritic, and among its reviews are a 1/10 from IGN and 2/10 from Game Informer.
If you’re interested in a long-form video about it, there’s this 21-minute post-mortem including quotes from the developers and stuff. Like a lot of cases, it seems like publisher interference got in the way of a lot of what the team wanted to do.
