Games We Miss

While perusing some old Gaming Magazine issues, I came across a quiz about MDK.

*sigh*.  “Oh how I miss MDK.  I loved that game..”  And I wondered how many other people think back on creatures they’ve killed, heroines they’ve saved, characters they’ve known and loved, and ponder how much they miss them..

So, I want to know:  What games do you miss, and why?

I will go first:

MDK – The witty banter between the characters was fun, and the puzzle solving & strengths per character made this a PERFECT Couple Game.  (I would play the brain, Ymiris would play the action-hero).

ShadowMan – Anyone that’s been around here long enough knows we loved this game.  The subtle spooky undertones, the characters, the music; the very idea of living in 2 different worlds as 2 different people – few games really pull this off (though I’m surprised how many try).

OK, let’s ask Ymiris what games he misses:

Vampire the Masqurade:  One of the best games I have played, but it was bugged so bad that the ending never worked, a patch was later made by fans but I never got it.  But still this game had great dialogue, great character development and a great selection on how you wanted to play the game.

MechWarrior:  Well because the closest thing to this game in recent years was Chromhounds, and I liked Chromhounds but it was no Mechassualt.  I really enjoyed the fact you felt like you were in this giant machine, you had to make sure to cool down, you had limited ammo and you weren’t able to just race around like a 10 pound machine.

Aliens vs Predator:  I loved the MP on this game, and the game itself was amazing.  I will always remember the way you started as an alien, face hugger to chest burster to adult, it was great!! I am hoping the one currently being made lives up to the previous games past.

Ghost Master:  This is one of a few SIM games I loved, and I played this with Ophilye for hours and was pretty damn sad when we finished it.  Basicly the game was all about scaring SIM’s and getting more powerful, it even had ghostbusters who came in after you.   I loved that game and miss it still.

    Super Mario Bros. 2. – Yes, I know it's a bit of a mainstream game but I really liked how crazy and outstanding it is compared to all the other Mario games. The worlds were different and unique with desert levels, waterfalls, and a pitch black level where you're riding on birds the whole time. Enemies were crazy in design and ****SPOILER*** it all turned out to be a dream. I still love the look of a “shyguy” today.

    Beyond Good and Evil – This “sleeper” title on the PS2 is still pretty cheap used today but a great platformer that spans across age genres. While the action isn't as top-notch as other titles similar to its genre ie. Ratchet & Clank, BG&E has a plot I found very interesting for a PS2 title.

    Basewars – This NES title is a game that I wish a developer would remake. Robots that vary in physical form fight for the base and use such weapons as swords, guns, and inherent ones on the body. Best moment: Blasting a pitch out of your pitcher's cannon-like arm and blowing up the batter. Sweet!

    I spent many hours on that game.. a great storyline, great puzzles, nice characters. Give it a try if you're bored at work some time..
