I loved that game. I never did get to the end of the first one though. I'm glad you mentioned it though, cause now I'm going to go find a rom and emulator!

Great news, Australia was one of the few countries where the Master System destroyed the NES so if they bring some of the great classics onto VC I might go grab a Wii

Heh I don't have a Wii and I don't plan on getting one. I can simply get ROMs for my SMS games.

meepmoopmeep5956d ago

good to see you here :)

i wouldn't mind some PSN or Arcade games from the Genesis.

like Wonder Boy!!!

damn master system.. now thats old school

I hope they release Ninja Gaiden SMS. Its far better then the NES version. (youtube the game to see). I would also love Golden Axe Warrior. I know its a Zelda ripoff, but its lots of fun. Psycho Fox?! YES! Quartet?! YES! And of course, Phantasy Star. I could go on and on, tons of great games for the SMS!

Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.

Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.

You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.

I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.

They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.

Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company

Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.

Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.

If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard

As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
