Picked up the games I ordered online last week as they arrived today.
All games are used copies complete with box and manual unless otherwise stated.
V-Rally and Eagle One Harrier Attack are in a double pack with both games in one box.
Mega Drive:
Summer Challenge
Zero Tolerance
PlayStation:
Blast Radius (no manual)
Eagle One Harrier Attack
MTV Sports: Pure Ride
Star Trek Invasion
Street Racer
Truck Racing
V-Rally
Vagrant Story (promo disc, no manual)
PlayStation 2:
Hot Wheels World Race
Carmen Sandiego: The Secret of the Stolen Drums
Crashed
Crazy Frog Racer 2
Crazy Taxi
Motorsiege: Warriors of Primetime
Speed Kings
In the Crazy Taxi box there is a folder tucked in with the manual advertising other games from Acclaim (as they were the ones that ported Crazy Taxi to PS2), and among the games listed is Zombie Revenge for PS2 which sadly got cancelled worldwide before release. I sure would've loved a PS2 port now that I can't play it on Dreamcast anymore. I miss Zombie Revenge.
Teh update of an sadness:
The V-Rally disc is damaged on the data side of the disc and doesn't play. The other games all work fine, but damn, I really wanted to play V-Rally, I even warmed up for it by playing Sega Rally Championship on PC and Colin McRae Rally on PlayStation yesterday, getting myself into the proper mid-to-late 90s rally mood. Bummer. :c
Another update, semi-sad, semi-odd:
Seems MTV Sports Pure Ride also doesn't work.. on PS2. It works just fine on PS3 though. I've had the opposite happen many times as PS3 has really bad PSX emulation but for once it did it better than PS2 which has partial original PSX hardware in it, so how it's less compatible than a PS3 I dunno, it makes no sense.
Another update, really weird now:
V-Rally, with the literally see-through scratches on the disc, works on PS3 now... I'm literally playing V-Rally right now even though the disc is damaged beyond repair and shouldn't work at all. Am I in the Twilight Zone?

Because my first copy of V-Rally didn't work properly I decided to order another copy of the regular Platinum release, alongside a few more games, like a separate copy of Eagle One Harrier Attack as well, even though the previous copy I got worked just fine I wanted a copy of the proper original release too.
The reason I didn't order the original version of V-Rally is because the Platinum version adds Dual Analog and Dual Shock compatibility and a brand new car to play with.
PlayStation:
Eagle One Harrier Attack
Formula One Arcade
Time Crisis Project Titan (promo disc, no manual)
V-Rally (Platinum)
V-Rally 2
WRC Arcade
PlayStation 2:
Kill.Switch (promo disc, no manual)

I thought it looked awesome in the trailers, but then it had the bad luck of being released in the same timeframe as Nier and Zelda, so I barely have seen any comments on it. |

I've not played it yet, but is it worth the fullprice? It doesn't look bad, but there are so many great open world games out there. Like No Man's Sky... he he he... |

Got Nioh for PS4. I enjoyed the alpha a lot from last year, but i skipped it upon release because i was busy, now that school is done, i'm going to dig into it.
Also, i traded SFV in for EDF4.1 physical. Best deal ever.

fsfsxii E.D.F. is awesome so I'm not going to argue about that. Both games are legendary though. Even if Street Fighter V has that luck factor, it still rewards skill and that's why the same people make it to the top. It is super fun indeed. They both are. Platinum Nioh, it is a prestigious plat for sure. The Ninja Gaiden costume plus the chains that pull enemies like Scorpion is the perfect combination. It is a lot of fun and I.like how it rewards offense more than Dark Souls.

Its a fun game when played properly and when it has enough content. Tekken 7 unfortunately suffers from the same disease SFV has, lack of content. |

Tekken 7 unfortunately suffers from the same disease SFV has, lack of content. Really? I haven't seen any of those issues. Maybe you are playing with people with insanely bad connections. In fact, I feel I'm spoiled with all the online features. Being able to find the best players, networking with other players, training online with friends, access to all the replays of every single fight you make and everyone else's too, the way you find people, the way they accurately match you with other fighters of your level while still giving you chances to improve with harder ones. About offline the training mode is perfect to me and the trials are challenging enough to improve your inputs. I'm still trying to beat survival with many. I appreciate the indivial character comic stories, and even more the general story which was highly entartaining to me. My only conplaint is that there is no arcade mode, but in all honestly the survival mode is quite the challenge and a very competitive substitution for it. Then the only other major thing I see people complaining about is the luck factor, specially in season 2 where all your defenses are down and they basically ask you to attack, which is something I personally love, but I undertand it probably was very upsetting for those that trained without expecting that change. Still though the luck factor, that was there since the first season, as much as it may help casuals here and there, it won't do much in competition settings where having the most skill will always give you the highest chances to win. This is why you see the traditional people making it to the top in all the tournaments. Often times I put friends to play with others online, and it is fun to see how even when they get their ass kicked online, they get motivated to learn when they see me winning. I lose too, I lose a lot, but the fact that I can win often impress them and many of them are now into it because of that, which is very satisfactory. |

Played with someone on pc, first match i rekt him so bad even got a perfect on the 2nd round. Upon rematch, i couldn't do anything against him. As for overall content in a fighting game, GGXrd Revelator is still the king. It has a 3 hour cgi story, arcade stories that lead into the main cgi story, an individual training for each character, match-up tutorials, combo challenge. ASW has only the fraction of the money Capcom has, yet they're making better games. |

So Nioh turned out to be something i don't like, so i traded it for FFXV, and ffxv sucks -_-
It barely feels like a FF title, it definitely feels like a western rpg with the FF title slapped on to it. The gameplay is some of the worst i've ever seen in a game, absolutely horrible. To summarize FFXV, its MGS5 of the FF series in all the wrong ways, including the tedium.

The gameplay is some of the worst i've ever seen in a game, absolutely horrible. To summarize FFXV, its MGS5 of the FF series in all the wrong ways, including the tedium. I guess it's a matter if taste. I'm not saying I have beating all those games, not even close, but I have had a taste of gameplay on all of them, and they all felt top tier quality. Another factor that I'm sure also adds up, is that I look every game as its own thing, without wanting it to necessary be like something else in the series or like something else entirely. I think a big issue may be that you want Nioh to be Ninja Gaiden, you want The Phantom Pain to be Guns Of The Patriots, and maybe you want Final Fantasy XV to be Final Fantasy XII. Just thinking that Street Fighter V was like Guilty Gear would be something I would not like, maybe because I like both, and I don't want one or the other to disappear. Street Fighter V's three hour CGI movie was cool to me, and like I said befote, it was highly entertaining, but if the game would not have that I would still see the value in the gameplay and in all those awesome competition features. Street Fighter II did not have all those things and it is still super fun among friends. Try playing games with friends on the same room. A lot of games open up, even single player games. We tried going all the way the first hill after the tower and the tutorial in Nioh, and it took us like one hour to reach the first boss. We obviously lost in the first try, but it was super satisfactory just reaching it. Otherwise you may be doomed to play only the games you already know how to play over and over again. Which is not bad, specially if you still don't have those platinums, but you are also limiting yourself from living other great experiences that current technology also allows us to have. |
