Derp.

Thanks.

 

[Madame Mayor]

Article is awesome, thanks so much.

I'll work tomorrow on grabbing more stuff for you guys and post anything I find funny or that could be informative.

 

[Makoeyes987]

T___T

I'll give you lots of money though!

 

[Joker]

I don't think so especially considering how crap the PS1 was in handling 2D for some reason...

Yeah, but I recall a ton of 2d games for it. Of course, the Saturn probably had a lot more proportionally, given its smaller games list and preference for 2D games, but the 64 was mostly 3D with a few 2.5d games tossed in, I thought.

I also used to collect the Sonic the Comic. That was teh shiz. For a children's comic, it had some brilliant writing and characters. I felt it did more with the Sonic universe than any of the video-games or cartoon series. Again, I really wish I'd kept hold of them, as well. I should have issues with my mother for all the classic memorabilia she made me chuck out.

Well, it was a continuation of SatAm with Sally Acorn, etc.

Well....most of that was true. Except Septic Tulip.

Well, they identify, rather than trace, through blood, but yeah, most of those bits were true.

The real question here is "could you take FFVII as seriously with THIS as Cloud" ?

Also, that shot of Cloud should be the main image for the Frontpage poast. It will certainly draw a crowd.

We take it seriously with the one we have, so... yes?

What I want to know is how they used official art for all the other characters and Cloud looks...homemade?

They probably couldn't find a clean or artifact free version, so they had to trace and replace.

ADDENDUM: Man, Quest 64. A poster child for a game not living up to its hype.

Now, I feel I need to go play Mischief Makers. Yes, in the middle of my work day. It's Mischief Makers.

I didn't have an N64 at that time, but I remember the utter collective disappointment over Quest 64 And that was before I used the internet with any frequency.

 

[Madame Mayor]

I got more stuff for you guys. Got the FF8 preview, and a FF7 review I missed the first time, some more funny stuff, and some reviews/previews of other games from the time.

What Quest 64 promised was a 3 man party with combat somewhere between FF12 and FF13.

We got one man turn based crap.

And Brooke, keep looking for more mailbag and fanart humdingers.

Well, it was a continuation of SatAm with Sally Acorn, etc.

Not the Archie comics. I'm talking about the UK version... which was 100x awesomer (...I assume).

 

[Madame Mayor]

More stuff coming up in the next hour as I resize and upload.

 

[Tifabelle]

yay! Thank you so much for sharing these! This is awesome.

Fair enough...but they shouldnt have employed a chimp to do it

Capcom needs to stop being faggots and remake Resident Evil 2 properly.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Man, I think anyone who feels that the Wii & motion gaming is gimmicky now needs to look back at these. Holy Moses.

Also, this made my day:

Only way to scan them. With my scanner anyways (you have to feed the pages through it). They probably weren't coming with me for my move and then the thought hit me to scan them in and show everyone else.

Also tried cutting them out and that was actually worse. The scanner also ripped a couple of the pages on the way in, but nothing of value was really lost in the information on the pages.
