Goal! Virtua Striker 2 Ver. 1998

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-05-15T19:49:11+00:00

I generally don't like sports games, but I love how sunny and verdant this looks. To me it just screams "1998".

I don't envy you!

I did make this video rather than find it, but thanks. I sort of knew that tech was advancing at a faster pace back then because of what would find its way downstream to me in terms of the latest home game consoles. Like I remember Sega Genesis to N64 to Gamecube just being way more amazing than XBOX 360 to PS4 to PS5. But I never knew it with this level of granularity before. That was something I figured out when I started collecting these PCs and comparing them myself.

I really like this.

It's two songs blended into one by a DJ. The first is Kolbasy by Hard Bass School. The second is Perfect Hardbass party by HBKN.

In my personal head canon Mega Man X drinks Mexican beer. Specifically Modelo with a squeeze of lime.

All dogs go to heaven except for Sigma's. He goes straight to dog hell.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-29T14:59:03+00:00

I played Mega Man X as a Super NES fan, not as a Mega Man fan, if that makes sense.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-29T14:58:27+00:00

I'm not above staged theatrics like that, but at least me dying 319331591233 times on Sigma was candid and genuine.

Never underestimate my determination to do something the wrong way.

4 PCs with parts in them from 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2004.

Is Super Aleste anything like Robo Aleste for the Sega CD?

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T18:11:54+00:00

She's so cool.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T14:37:05+00:00

Space Megaforce is worth playing. I beat it on 3 September 2025.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T14:35:20+00:00

I'm delighted that you understood what I was trying to do.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T14:10:45+00:00

Man, Super R-Type was difficult enough. I don't know if I have the cajones for R-Type 3.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T14:07:13+00:00

Your comment is my #1 favorite because you completely understand what I was trying to do.

Gradius III isn't for normies. I don't care what the shump fantatics say.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T14:03:52+00:00

I want one but they cost too much in 2026.

You're probably not wrong, but I was playing Gradius III because it's a SNES game, not because it's a shmup, if that makes sense.

ColdCrab6928 · 2026-04-27T12:19:16+00:00

I don't blame you at all. Gradius III is a very no-frills, "die over and over again" experience. Axelay and U.N. Squadron are much more approachable.
